Chris Brown has finally publicly apologized for beating up Rihanna.
In a new apology video Brown is seeking and asking for the public’s forgiveness and states that he has wanted to apologize for months but was advised not too by his attorney.
In a two minute statement Brown says, “I’m not going to sit here and make any excuses..and what I did was inexcusable. I’m very sad and very ashamed of what I’ve done.”
In the end Brown tires to reassure us that he would never beat up another woman and that he wants to work to regain the title of role model. After the Rihanna incident, the title role model may remain elusive but I do hope for his sake and the sake of his future relationships, that he can earn the title of a recovered batterer.

Swearing doesn’t actually make everything better or make the pain go away but we now have proof that swearing helps us to be better able to tolerate a painful situation.
Unlike most people, I didn’t start swearing until I was 19. I was a sheltered child..lol. Anyway I had to ‘learn to swear’ and I still haven’t developed the knack that some people have for combining swear words George Carlin comes to mind here. So I tend to rely on the most used ones and I must confess that to this day they are just some some swear words I could never, ever use. But who could deny the fact that sometimes the only appropriate word for a specific situation is $UCK!
And during my various travels I found that Americans are a lot better at swearing than Europeans. We’re born naturals the words kinda roll off our tongues. And the British have a way of swearing that makes you feel dirty all over and not in a good way..LOL.
One more thing, I have to applaud the women and men who took part in this study because what they were asked to endure in order to determine the affect of swearing on an individual’s tolerance to pain sounds like an act Dick Cheney would have sanctioned!
Anyway, all we have to do now is get them to do a study proving that swearing at our PCs causes them to work faster so we’ll be able to swear at work-in front of our bosses!

If he did indeed withdraw his nomination willingly, he did the honorable thing. Good. And though this is a clear failure for the Obama administration and for Senator Daschle, remember it’s better ‘to fail with honor than succeed by fraud.’

Today the world welcomes the 44th President of the United States Barack Hussein Obama.
For two years we have followed and commented on every detail of his life and his family’s life. We have scrutinized and demanded his positions on every issue. We have even witnessed him ’brushing his shoulders’ off after a few missteps on the campaign trail. Along the way he captivated and inspired us with his soaring oratory and solid belief that WE can change the world.
To all of you who called, walked and knocked on doors for Obama and Obama/Biden because you wanted to change Washington D.C, the country and the world today is YOUR day!
To all of you that have suffered, due to the arrogrance, bumbling incompetence and divisive policies of the previous adminsitration today is YOUR day!
To all American troops across the world, today is YOUR day!
To all Iraqis who long for peace and sovereignty. today is YOUR day!
To people across the world who believed in America even when we had lost our way today is YOUR day!
To Michelle, Malia and Natasha today is YOUR day!
Finally to all Americans STAND UP AND RAISE YOUR GLASS IN CELEBRATION OF PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA FOR TODAY is OUR day!
Now, let’s get to work rebuilding this country we don’t have a moment to lose.

Sheila Johnson, 60, of Phoenix Arizona is a tennis star!
Yup, I’m not kidding, a freaking tennis star and apparently she’s at the top of her game! That’s amazing with so many ‘older people’ in the news making me mad it was nice to see one that actually made me smile, if only for a minute today..
