OCTOBER 8–Angered by a delay in the receipt of his voter registration card, a Louisiana man today threatened to shoot election officials, claiming that he urgently needed to cast a ballot to “keep the nigger out of office,” according to police. Wade Williams, 75, was arrested this morning on a felony terrorizing charge after allegedly calling the Registrar of Voters and warning that he would come to the state office and empty his shotgun unless he got his registration card. Using profanity and racial slurs, Williams told a state official “about needing to vote to ‘keep the nigger out of office,” according to an Ouachita Parish Sheriff’s Office affidavit, a copy of which you’ll find here. Though the document does not name the candidate to which Williams is so violently opposed, it seems likely he was referring to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. After being arrested at his Monroe home, Williams was booked into the Ouachita Correctional Center, where the above mug shot was snapped. En route to the jail, he “continued his ‘tirade’ about niggers and also stated that he had a shotgun, but had it hidden at his residence,” (Source)

Designed to save you from yourself, Google has announced it’s plans to prevent drunken emails. All you nerds out there who drink and party all night and then check your Gmail take note. This is for your own protection:
Gmail plans to offer “Mail Goggles,” a kind of sobriety test to make sure a sender is sober enough to send a message. Rather than test the sender’s alcohol blood level, the program prompts the user with a series of math problems (69-38 =?, 11×2=?, and so on) which must be solved within a time limit.
The program’s default setting is for late at night on the weekend, when, as the blog says “you’re most likely to need it.” (Source)
My dumb ass would probably fail the tests while sober and screw up my entire late night blogging spree. I vote “No”!
Check out O.J.’s newest mugshot taken just days ago following his October 2008 conviction on armed robbery and kidnapping charges in a Las Vegas district court. Simpson, 61, was immediately taken into custody at the Clark County Detention Center after the jury verdict was read. Sentencing is scheduled for December 5, 2008 and O.J. is facing a MINIMUM of five years behind bars. Karma is a muthaf*$cker!!
We all have our burdens to bear, but O.J.’s life seems to be a testament to what can happen when you do wrong. It’s possible that O.J. could end up spending the rest of his life in a Nevada state prison. Beating the system is one thing…but how far can you possibly go without fear of retribution?
I’m not one to speak on the inaccuracies of our justice system because I for one HATE seeing our Black men locked up over BS. Hell…I’m still pissed over Michael Vick! O.J. dodged a major bullet once and could have very well lived a quiet life of seclusion with his new white woman of choice…but what did he do? Went out and acted a fool every chance he got. On that note…I’ll cosign with Chris Rock’s assessment of the Simpson murder trial. “I’m not sayin it’s right…but I understand!”
Big Boi has been very busy these days. Not only has he been working on his upcoming album, Sir Lucious Leftfoot: The Son of Chico Dusty, but he recently received a major endorsement deal with Coco-Cola for their Full Throttle energy drink. The drinkmaker feels that Antwan Patton is the perfect choice for he embodies Full Throttle’s concept of “Go Full Throttle or Go Home.” He will be promoting the drink as he interviews about his new album.
The Atlanta hip-hop legend is also featured in the October 2008 issue of GQ magazine and recently mentioned plans to continue his stint on the ballet circuit. Check out a few photos from this month’s GQ as well as a Big Boi’s recent interview at Russell Simmon’s Global Grind party in Atlanta: (more…)
Precious pictures of Michael Vick and his baby were recently sold to the highest bidder. The items were located in a storage unit rented by Vick and his children’s mother in Williamsburg, Virginia. The unit had gone unpaid for some time and the company, Iron Bound Mini Storage, auctioned off the contents of the unit for a whopping 10 bucks!
It is not uncommon for people to rent storage units and leave them unattended. Maybe because they can’t pay the bill, or possibly because they just forgot. But you’d think that Mike’s people would have made sure to keep track of his valuable possessions.
The contents of the unit contained pictures of Vick and his son (Mitez), a football signed by Vick to the child which reads “Pooh, Yo Daddy love you!” in addition to other boxes packed with baby clothes, baby furniture and other items believed to be memories of Vick’s first-born boy. (Vick has 3 kids, a boy and 2 girls).
The winner of the bid, Ed Howard, has already made a profit off of his purchase by selling several items on a street corner near the unit. Several photos of the contents below:
Last night around 11:30pm, fire and police officials were called to the Fulton County home of Christopher “Ludacris” Bridges. Neighbors of the rapper alerted authorities of a possible fire and county officials were quick to respond. Ludacris was out of town at the time but a family member was in the basement of the main residence when the fire started. Fire damage to the estate was limited to the pool house and thankfully no one was injured. The cause of the blaze has not been determined. (Source)
Shaq and his wife Shaunie were spotted outside Barney’s in NYC. Yes…*sigh* she is still his wife. The two have withdrawn their petitions for divorce and are working things out. Everyone was wondering what that monstrosity was on Mr. O’neal’s head. Shaq’s crazy ass kept pointing to his head, laughing, “Look at the new hat I bought at Barney’s! Look at my new hat.” Onlookers were laughing too as they headed to the limo.
In case you’ve been wondering what’s going on with Shaq’s Atlanta stalking case, well it is right were it should be. In the corner of someone’s desk collecting dust! The hearing has been delayed (indefinitely?) and although there is no date set, the restraining order is still in effect. (Source)
