Neo-Nazi Rally Rattles Arizona and Minnesota

Monday, November 9th, 2009

Neo-Nazi groups have greatly grown in number since the 9/11 attacks. Those that have abandoned the cowardice and bigotry associated with the hood and emblazoned cross are now taking to the internet and donning suits, ties, and the occasional swastika tee-shirt on weekends whenever the need arises for them to spread their own special brand of hatred.

The same unique group of “special” Americans met in Arizona and Minnesota to protest America's weak immigration laws and the influx of undocumented illegal aliens that now call the United States of America home.

Members of the Nationalist Socialist Movement watched in awe as their peaceful, hatred induced protest was met with more anti-protestors than they had members. Jeff Schoep of Arizona's NSM encountered a similar situation during his protest in Arizona.

Baltimore Mayor Finally Faces Judge

Monday, November 9th, 2009

Mayor of Baltimore, Sheila Dixon, undoubtedly has fans, but it would seem that she is finding herself in a situation where fate has awarded her more enemies than friends.

Nearly 11 months after being indicted by a grand jury on 12 counts of wrongdoing, including four counts of perjury and two of theft over $500, Mayor Dixon arrived to court in a Black suit to begin answering for her crimes.

The charges stem from allegations that Dixon swindled numerous homeless families out of gift cards that were donated for their use, of which, she used to buy clothing, electronics, and other miscellaneous items for herself and various family members.

This particular trial marks the first of two for the presumed disgraced mayor, her facing two counts of felony theft, three counts of fraudulent misappropriation by a public official, one count of theft, and one count of misconduct in office.

“I think that I have done an extraordinary job in focusing on the business of the city, because that's what the people elected me to do,” remarked Dixon to Baltimore's WBAL-TV.

Mayor Dixon is also facing a second trial for perjury due to her allegedly failing to disclose gifts that she gave in several situations. No trial date has been set for the case due to it being held up in Maryland's Court of Special Appeals.

If found guilty of any wrongdoing, Dixon will be immediately removed from office, after which, she will receive severe jail time.

Sammy Sosa Comes Under Fire For New Look

Monday, November 9th, 2009

Members of the mainstream media and sports world alike have been at awe over retired MLB legend Sammy Sosa.

Recent photos of the former all-star appearing several shades lighter while sporting green contact lenses and a slick-back, Rick Ricardo-esque hairstyle have set the internet ablaze.

“He's not trying to be Michael Jackson,” said Sosa friend Rebecca Polihronis, speaking of a snapshot taken during Sosa's appearance at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. “He is going through a rejuvenation process for his skin. Women have it all of the time. Part of it is just the lighting.”

Several sports and media talking heads have speculated that Sosa is actively bleaching his skin and changing other aspects of his physical appearance due to a deep dislike of his natural self, his natural dark skin.

Kansas City Chiefs Release Star Back Due To Bad Behavior

Monday, November 9th, 2009

Larry Johnson's career as a Kansas City Chief is no more!

The 29-year-old running back was the superior lackluster NFL franchise, yet star power and talent was not enough to keep him on the team.

The decision, handed down swiftly by Chiefs management, comes just ten days away from Johnson's 30th birthday and 75 yards away from him breaking the team rushing record set by Priest Holmes.

“A part of him is excited and a part of him is very regretful,” said Johnson's agent Peter Schaffer to media. “It's analogous to breaking up with a girlfriend. Maybe you saw it coming, but it still hurts when it happens.”

Since being drafted to Kansas City out of Penn State in 2003, and something of a lightning rod for controversy, the star running back found himself suspended for four games after being accused of assaulting women at a Kansas City club. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two years of probation.

Johnson was fined on October 25th after making disparaging remarks and anti-gay slurs on his Twitter account about Chiefs fans and coach Todd Haley.
