“On Dating A Single Parent?? – Not Likely”

The ReadyWriter

I received an email yesterday from a loyal CEO blog reader (who shall remain anonymous) and they wrote this:

“Hey There Tracy”,

“I love your blog and have been a follower for quite sometime now. You don’t talk about dating much I’m sure this part of your private life, you keep separate from your public blog but I’m curious to know, if you would date a single divorcee with child?”

“I’m sure as a single woman like yourself, you can come and go wherever and whenever you want too and you answer to no one. You probably work overtime anytime, hit the happy hour or the gym after work, take weekend trips or long trips and sleep in on weekends. A singles lifestyles and that of married father are like night and day.”

“You clearly have a freedom that most wouldn’t want to give up.”

“So my question to you is, would you date a man with a child or children, I’m curious to know?”

“Some of my friends feel, that single folks should date other singles and single parents should date single parents.”

First off, I never hit-up “Happy Hours” because I don’t drink. I do however, agree with his friends.

Dating a man or hooking up with a man who has children is a turn off for me. Divorced men with children automatically come into the relationship with attached baggage and that’s one responsibility that is beyond my emotional scope of reasoning.

I’ve witnesses a lot of emotional and physical drama from broken relationships where children are involved, and would never wish to subject myself in parts of any of it. 

That’s my stance in this situation and on this subject…What are your thoughts, CEO fam? Please share them with me!

“Matt Barnes Arrested For Domestic Violence”

The ReadyWriter

NBA player Matt Barnes, who earlier this year signed a $3.6 million dollar contract with the LA Lakers, was arrested yesterday and charged with domestic violence, according to CNN.com.

Barnes and his baby mama Gloria Govan, who starred on the 1st season of the hit reality TV show Basketball Wives, were engaged to be married. But all of that ended when Barnes signed that lucrative contract deal with the Lakers and suddenly realized his worth.

The incident occurred at his Sacramento home Wednesday, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s department said.

Police say someone in the home dialed 911 but the call ended abruptly. When police arrived at the home that Barnes shared with Govan, both parties had “visible injuries.”

“When deputies arrived, they made contact with 30-year-old Matt Kelly Barnes and the adult female who he lived with and with whom he had a dating relationship,” the sheriff’s department said in a statement. “While both parties had visible injuries, Barnes was determined to be the primary aggressor and taken into custody.”

He was booked on felony charges of domestic violence and maliciously obstructing the use of a telephone line.
He posted a $50,000 bond and was released from jail Wednesday evening, the sheriff’s department said.

Matt Barnes will be arraignment on Monday, Sept. 13.

“Burning Qur’ans Are Just Not Necessary”

The ReadyWriter

U.S. president Barack Obama has finally weighed in on the planned Qur’an burning story that has drawn attention from all over the world.

The plan to burn 200 Qur’ans by the Pastor of a small church in Florida to commemorate the anniversary of Sept. 11, has sparked worldwide outrage and condemnation.

In an interview with ABC’s Good Morning America which aired this morning, Obama called Rev. Terry Jones’ planned bonfire a “stunt” and he cautioned that burning the Qur’ans would prove a bonanza for al-Qaeda recruitment.

Pastor Jones dismissed the criticism from politicians and religious leaders, saying his message targets the radical Islamists who continue to plot terror against the United States.

Asked his feelings on the matter as president, Obama said, “well, it is frustrating. Now, on the other hand, we are a government of laws. And so we have to abide by those laws. And my understanding is that he can be cited for public burning, but that’s the extent of the laws that we have available to us.”

A Christian congregation in Germany on Thursday distanced itself from Jones, its founder and former pastor. Stephan Baar, one of the leaders of the Christian Community of Cologne, said the congregation split with Jones in 2008 over differences in the way the church was run.

“We distance ourselves very clearly from the actions that are taking place (in Florida) and also from the person himself and unfortunately we really regret what is happening there,” Baar said in an interview with a CNN affiliate RTL.

“National Action Network In Trouble”

The ReadyWriter

According to the New York Post an accounting firm hired by Al Sharpton’s National Action Network, they found the civil-rights group in such financial disarray that it flunked its record-keeping — and may not even survive.

According to an audit, The National Action Network still owed $1.348 million in delinquent city, state and federal taxes and penalties at the end of 2008. The IRS has filed dozens of liens against NAN over the past decade, including one as recently as April of this year.

According to Rachael Noerdlinger., spokewomen for The National Action Network. “We determined not to file bankruptcy but to make NAN solvent, which we clearly have done and will be reflected in [upcoming reports],”  she said “NAN’s board of directors put up “over seven figures” to begin paying down tax arrears”

Meanwhile, the audit found that NAN was a defendant in five lawsuits:

* Alpha International Travel accused the group of failing to pay $50,000 in outstanding bills. NAN settled the case.

* The Peabody hotel in Memphis, where NAN held its 2008 convention, accused NAN of stiffing it out of $70,000. NAN is contesting the charges.

* NAN’s Arizona chapter is accused of being a deadbeat tenant. The organization is fighting the claim.

Far from closing shop, Sharpton has opened new NAN chapters across the country in the past two years.

But such an expansion is a costly mistake, said one insider familiar with the group’s finances.

What do you think, will Al Sharpton’s good thing come to an end.??

“GA Mayor: Showing Your Drawers Is A Crime”

The ReadyWriter

Pants on the ground! Pants on the ground! Lookin’ like a fool with your pants on the ground!

A Mayor in Dublin, GA has officially made saggin’ pants a crime and all offenders will be fined $200.00 per offense.

The law would prohibit the wearing of pants or skirts more than three inches below the top of the hips, exposing the skin or undergarments.

Police will be left to enforce the law, but skeptics wonder if they are supposed to run around high school parking lots with tape measures in hand looking for violators of the three-inch rule.

City officials hope that a simple warning for kids to pull up their pants will be sufficient, but we all know that there will be at least one kid (and likely more) who will push the law to its constitutional breaking point by getting arrested and fighting the ticket in court.

Some people are already complaining that the law will be used to target young black males. Well, a quick visit to just about any mall will tell you that young white males model just about everything they see from their black counterparts, including saggin’. So it’s up to the community to make sure that young black boys aren’t the only ones getting pinched for this infraction.

Do you think the mayor is doing the right thing? Because I’m hoping this law will spread, especially since I’m offended when I’m forced to look at someone’s ass from sagging pants.

What is your thoughts on this matter?
