Obama Campaign: “Vote like your lady parts depends on it”

The ReadyWriter

Someone on President Obama’s campaign team is catching heat for posting an e-card on Obama’s Tumblr that read: ““Vote like your lady parts depend on it.” The e-card was quickly deleted when women’s groups, and the national media, caught wind of it.

According to the Washington Examiner, the e-card post linked to “a health care document explaining how the Affordable Health Care Act helps women.” The Obama campaign has used scare tactics, saying Mitt Romney will cut funds for abortions if he is elected president.

Obama’s campaign backed away from the e-card posting. In a response to The National Review’s Katrina Trinko, the campaign said “This piece did not go through our regular review. When it was discovered, it was taken down.”

Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah” Functioning with an addiction

On January 22, 2008 at about 2:45 p.m., actor Heath Ledger was found unresponsive in his New York city apartment by his house keeper; and after two weeks of intense media speculation, the New York city Chief Medical Examiner concluded that Ledger’s death was ruled an accident. Conclusions, based on an initial autopsy and a subsequent complete toxicology report. Ledger died as the result of acute intoxication by the combination effects of several drugs. The examiner also ruled, “Ledger’s death was a result from the abuse of prescription medications.”

On June 25, 2009, Michael Jackson died while in his bed at his rented mansion at 100 North Carolwood Drive in the Holmby Hills district of Los Angeles. Attempts at resuscitating him by Conrad Murray, his personal physician, were unsuccessful. The news of Michael Jackson’s death spread quickly online causing websites to crash and bringing twitter to a complete halt. On August 28, 2009 the Los Angeles coroner decided to treat Jackson’s death as a homicide; at the time of death, Jackson had been administered a deadly dose of propofol, lorazepam and midazolam. It was later revealed that Jackson hired a personal physician to administer the drugs to him nightly to help him sleep. After a full investigation of Jackson’s personal physician, Conrad Murray; Murray was charged with involuntary manslaughter and is now serving time in a CA prison.

July 23, 2011, singer Amy Winehouse was found dead of alcohol poisoning in her London home. The singer had battled drugs and alcohol for years while recording some of her best-selling hits. I had no idea one of her many hits “Rehab” was actually her true to life lyrics.

Then this year, on February 11, 2012; New Jersey native Whitney Elizabeth Houston passed away in suite 434 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, submerged in the bathtub. A Los Angeles County coroner’s office reported the cause of Houston’s death as a drowning and the “effects of atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use”. The office stated the amount of cocaine found in Houston’s body indicated that she used the substance shortly before her death. The manner of death was listed as an “accident”, this all after a failed comeback for Houston in 2009.

All of these entertainers were talented and great and they all made history in their own right. But these same famous entertainers were all living and functioning every single day, with an addiction. This just goes to show us that; not all abusers are down and out with their indulgences, but it is true that if one continues to abuse drugs and/or alcohol, it will sooner or later take a toll on not only your body, but your life.

If you or anyone you know is functioning with an addiction and wish to share your story for this week’s show topic on “Conversations Of A Sistah” on “Conversations Live“, do send us an email at conversationsofasistah@readywriterproductioncompany.com

I hope you’ll join us at 8:00 P.M. Thursday October 4th on “Conversations Live” as we talk about this topic…

Magic Johnson Caught Cheating? OMG shocking!

The ReadyWriter

NOT!!!!!

This friend of mine, told me years ago that Magic Johnson was cheating on his wife Cookie. He was on a flight with Magic from LA to New York and said Magic was on the flight with a female companion, who wasn’t his wife. My friend said, having the HIV virus hadn’t slowed Magic down one bit.

That’s why when the gossip blog Bossip.com, published these pics of the former NBA player spotted leaving a restaurant with a female companion who was young enough to be his niece, the news went viral.

Careful analysis of their body language reveals that the lunch date was not all business (look at the slutty way this girl is dressed). Magic’s mouth is gaped open (as any married man’s mouth would be if he was caught leaving a restaurant in the presence of a stripper). And the young lady’s face also registers shock and surprise at seeing the paparazzi.

Snoop Dogg Smokes Weed With His Son…

The ReadyWriter

A family that smokes marijuana/weed together, stays together?

Rapper Snoop Dogg (or Snoop Lion as he now prefers to be called) is defending the controversial photo (above) of his 18-year-old son Corde lighting his father’s bong. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the rapper says, “My kids can do whatever the hell they want. For me to say otherwise would be hypocritical.” So it’s safe to say his kids are raising themselves.

“A lot of motherfucker’s don’t have a relationship with their kids, and that’s when they get on drugs and have suicidal thoughts and drive drunk. Me and my son is mellow. I’m his father, so I wanna show him the proper way because he looks up to me. What better way to get it than from the master?”

When the THR reporter arrived at Snoop’s home for the interview, the teen (Corde) was sitting in the backyard rolling joints.

Wow!!!!!

But getting high isn’t Corde’s only pastime, Snoop’s son wants to be a rapper like his famous father. 

“He’s getting there,” Snoop says of his oldest child (he also has son Cordell, 15, and daughter Cori, 13), who has already written songs titled “Rollin, Rollin, Rollin … Stoned” and “Commemoration of Vaporization.” “I see myself in him, but he needs to walk in his own shoes.” Snoop says.

You can check out Snoop Dogg’s upcoming interview in The Hollywood Reporter.

Conversations Of A Sistah, What he said

***************************

Self-appointed relationship guru Steve Harvey’s skyrocketed success behind his “Think Like a Man” franchise, which landed him a best-selling novel, a movie box office hit and in addition; a daytime talk show. Steve Harvey has done an excellent job at convincing women that they are in a dire state of affairs concerning black men and relationships.

Well…I never brought into Steve Harvey’s hype; didn’t buy his book and had absolutely no desire to see the movie generated from the best-selling book. I recognized the twice divorced comedian as an opportunist. Touting the black male crisis as the source of all relationship woes, Harvey was in my opinion; giving black women an emotional crutch that effectively allows them to become devoid of any accountability for their own failed relationships.

But Oh NO!!! I’ve never gone with every wind of doctrine based upon self-appointed opinions. I’d rather stand with a biblical principle of truth, concerning relationships between man and woman.

De Lacy Davis, (pictured right above), our featured guest this Thursday, September 27th on “Conversations Of A Sistah” will differentiate Harvey’s craze of “Think Like A Man” based upon real principle.

“Personally, I don’t know too many men who’d want to date a woman who thinks like a man” De Lacy said in our brief phone conversation concerning the subject.

Davis, of De Lacy Davis Consultants, LLC; is a powerful force to be reckoned with, overcoming trials; yet triumphed in the integrity, experiences and challenges of what he holds to be true. Best selling author of Black Cops Against Police Brutality: A Crisis Action Plan and known in the community as Brother De Lacy…, Davis is not one to turn his back or hold his tongue in the face of injustice or when an issue is being hoodwinked. 

With too many impressive accomplishments to list, De Lacy Davis has appeared on MTV, Nightline, C-Span, Oprah, Hard Ball, News Talk, Good Day New York, Positively Black and Ricki Lake, just to name a few.

The whole Steve Harvey craze a good marketing blend, but now De Lacy’s going to tell us, “Why women should NOT think like men”.

Hope you’ll tune into “Conversations of a Sistah” on “Conversations Live” Thursday night at 8:00 P.M. I can guarantee you, you won’t want to miss it!!!
