“Jay-Z Can’t Be Real With The Brooklyn Nets?”

The ReadyWriter

Rap mogul Jay Z continues to make smart business moves to apparently fatten his financial portfolio.

The 42-year-old NBA minority owner held a press conference this morning to announce the team’s name change from New Jersey Nets to Brooklyn Nets, which doesn’t even sound right.

He also annnounced that he would be performing 8 concerts to welcome the newly renamed team to its new home at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY.

In an effort to draw the big corporate money to Brooklyn, the team also announced it’s selling “all-access” passes to the team’s VIP lounge. The VIP passes, which can be yours for only $15,400 a pop — will also give you backstage access to Jay Z’s 8 concerts. Not bad for $15K.

Oh well, I guess I’ll be watching the Nets from my home screen from now on.

So says TV judge, Greg Mathis in speaking about the execution of Troy Davis.

Davis, 42, was put to death by lethal injection on Wednesday at Georgia’s Diagnostic and Statistics prison for the shooting death of Savannah police Officer Mark MacPhail.

Judge Mathis offered his opinions about the case from the set of his television show.

“Despite the overwhelming doubt surrounding his guilt, Davis never received a new trial and was unjustly put to death by a lethal injection.” said Mathis, who added that Georgia had “blood on its hands” for executing Troy Davis.

Take a listen.

A Los Angeles County coroner’s Capt. John Kades (KAY’-dihs) says Williams was found dead at 6:15 p.m. Thursday in an El Segundo hotel room but Kades says it will take six weeks to complete a toxicology examination to learn the exact cause of death.

“Chaz Bono Is As Proud As a Pumpkin”

This picture is for those confused lesbians who prefer transgenders like Chaz Bono. You would be surprised to know how many women are into chicks who mutilate their bodies. I read a comment on another blog from a Chaz fan who actually wrote, “I don’t see any scars on Chaz’s body.”

As you all know, Chaz made its debut this week on ABC’s “Dancing With The Stars”. Judges gave Chaz and dance partner Lacey Schwimmer a 17 out of 30 for their stiff cha cha routine.

“Troy Davis Executed” – Was It A Legal Lynching?”

The ReadyWriter

Strapped to a gurney in Georgia’s death chamber, Troy Davis lifted his head and declared one last time that “he did not kill police officer Mark MacPhail”. Yet the state of GA still executed him and he was pronounced dead at 11:08 PM.

Davis was scheduled to die at 7 p.m., but the hour came and went as the U.S. Supreme Court apparently weighed the case and ultimately denied Troy Davis a stay.

Justice Clarence Thomas resides over the GA jurisdiction, so I knew Davis didn’t have a chance.

Outside the prison, a crowd of more than 500 demonstrators cried, hugged, prayed and held candles. They represented hundreds of thousands of supporters worldwide who took up the anti-death penalty cause as  Davis’ final days ticked away.

MacPhail’s family (the cop who was killed in 1989) was relieved, they feel justice has been served.

MacPhail’s mother, Anneliese MacPhail, said in a telephone in an interview from her home in Columbus, Ga. “All the feelings of relief and peace I’ve been waiting for all these years, they will come later. I certainly do want some peace.” She then dismissed Davis’ claims of innocence. “He’s been telling himself that for 22 years…You know how it is, he can talk himself into anything.”

The McPhail family was relieved and feel justice had been served? Yet killing Troy Davis will not bring their loved one back. Why kill Troy Davis? Why not let him live out his life in prison?

Davis’ execution had been halted three times since 2007 but on September 21, 2011 his fight for justice ended when he was executed however, his family has a long fight ahead as they continue the fight and Troy’s last wishes to find the truth in this case.

Troy Davis said to the prion officials about to take his life “May God have mercy on your souls”.
