Tameka “Tiny” Cottle and T.I.  welcomed another child into their family last night.  Tiny gave birth to a beautiful baby boy around 12:48 AM (5/16).  The new arrival weighed in at about 5 pounds and they named the baby Major.  No middle name has been picked out yet.  Tiny and the baby are resting and doing fine!

Remember the 7 year old kid who stole his grandmother’s Durango cause he wanted to do “Hoodrat Stuff”?  Well he’s back… this time little Latarian Milton tried to beat up his grandmother in a Walmart after she wouldn’t by him no dayum chicken wings. I don’t understand why this is news and why they continue to let this child speak on television…this time he goes on camera to say he’s sorry for what he did to his grandmothers car and he’s sorry for what he “did to the people in the hospital.” He is now being evaluated for mental problems but this kid just needs a good ass whoopin…

Yesterday, I took it upon myself to write a post about the disgusting racist attitude of the owner of Mulligan’s Food & Spirits who proudly sold t-shirts displaying the image of Curious George as Barack Obama.    I submitted the pics and the post to Digg.com and to my suprise, encountered a slew of traffic.  In a matter of minutes, beginning last night at 10pm, StraightFromTheA.com had over 11,000 hits from digg and today there’s been over 50,000.  Because of the unusual amount of traffic, the site has been slower than usual and it’s been difficult to post.  There has also been a ton of racist comments and emails received and because of this I am taking the day off today.   I am saddened by the blatent displays of ignorance but not suprised, however…I need to get my mind right before I put any words in writing.

I want to apologize to my loyal readers and hopfully things will be resolved by tomorrow.  

Thanks to Andisheh Nouraee for the pic above.

The chick who was filmed harrassing an elderly lady on a MARTA train and given the nickname “Soulja Girl” has been identified as 25 year old Nafiza Z.  After the video appeared on YouTube and spread like wildfire, MARTA officials issued a warrant for her arrest.  She has been jailed in Dekalb County and is currently receiving psychiatric treatment for bipolar disorder.

Nafiza’s boyfriend Dee, with whom she has a baby son, said it more eloquently when he called into the Ryan Cameron Show on Friday, “If she wasn’t bipolar she would be the good a person on earth,” said Dee.

Keyshia Cole has recently been named the face of Luster’s newest line of products.   The line will be called Luster’s Pink Brand Smooth Touch and Keyshia’s image will be featured on limited edition relaxer kits.

“When we were thinking about the image and benefits of Smooth Touch, Keyshia Cole was a perfect choice,” said Jory Luster, president of Luster Products. “It was important to us to work with someone who already had success and visibility, but also could relate to our target and be someone they would want to emulate. Keyshia is young, talented, beautiful and has an electric personality. She’s perfectly represents the woman who uses Smooth Touch products.” Luster’s Pink Brand Smooth Touch line of hair care products will arrive in stores this summer. (Source)

Latarian Milton is my new foster child. I’m tired of sendin my money all the way to the starving children in Africa when there are fat kids here that need my help too! This 7 year old kid…[yes he's SEVEN!] stole his grandmother’s Durango so he could do “hoodrat stuff”…  

Milton: “I took my grandma car because I got mad at my mom. And then I [unintelligible] had my friend come in. And he smokes with cigarettes.” Milton: “I wanna do it ’cause it’s fun. It’s fun to do bad things — and drive into a car.” Reporter: “Did you know that you could perhaps kill somebody?” Milton: “Yes, but I wanted to do hoodrat stuff for my friend.” Reporter: “You don’t think you should be punished for all of this?” Milton: “Just a little bit — no video games for a whole weekend.” Police officer: “You understand that now your grandma’s gonna have to pay to have those cars fixed because you hit those cars.” Milton: “Can my mom help her?”

This is our future folks…live for today cause tomorrow we are doomed!!
