FIRST FAMILY INTERVIEW W/ BARBARA WALTERS

JUST IN CASE YOU DIDNT SEE...

GOODBYE EDDIE JORDAN

THE WASHINGTON WIZARDS ORGANIZATIONS BREAKS TIES WITH FORMER HEAD COACH AND D.C. NATIVE EDDIE JORDAN, AFTER A 1-10 START...

ANOTHER HORRIBLE DECISION BY THE WIZARDS, IF I MUST SAY SO MYSELF! I WILL GIVE YOU THREE REASONS WHY,

ONE, FOR THE PAST 3 OR 4 YEARS JORDAN HAS KEPT THIS INJURY DEPLETED TEAM IN THE PLAYOFFS YEAR AFTER YEAR.

SECONDLY, PERHAPS THEIR BEST OR "FAVORITE PLAYER," GILBERT ARENAS IS LOOKING AT A 3-4 MONTH INJURY. OH YEA, ARENAS WAS AN ALL-STAR/MVP CANDIDATE BY THE WAY...

THIRDLY, THEIR STARTING CENTER BRENNAN HAYWOOD, WHO CAME OFF HIS BEST SEASON IN THE NBA YET, IS INJURED AND HAS YET TO PLAY THIS SEASON!

I MEAN I DON'T THINK YOU CAN BLAME THE 1-10 START COMPLETELY ON THE COACH IN THIS INSTANCE. JORDAN IS A PROVEN WINNER, AND HE HAS BEEN THEIR FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS I THINK. THIS SEASON THE WIZARDS HAVE LOST ALMOST EVERY GAME THE SAME WAY...IN THE 4TH QUARTER. AT SOME POINT THE PLAYERS HAVE TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

LAST THOUGHTS
I THINK IF THE WIZARDS DIDN'T MOVE TO THE 2ND ROUND THIS SEASON, IT WOULD BE TIME TO CALL IT QUITS WITH JORDAN, BUT I WOULD ALSO SEND AWAY PLAYERS SUCH AS ETAN THOMAS, DARIUS SONGALIA, DESHAWN STEVENSON, AND ANTONIO DANIELS. THESE PLAYERS ARE GREAT IN THEIR OWN RIGHT, BUT I DONT THINK THEY COMPLIMENTED THE YOUNG AND QUICK ROSTER THAT WE HAVE.

INCREASED CRIME ON PG COUNTY BLOCK

IN PG COUNTY, THE 3300 BLOCK OF WALTERS LANE IN FORESTVILLE HAS BEEN THE LOCATION OF QUITE FEW RECENT CRIMES.

ON THE SHORT BLOCK, THREE MEN HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THE PAST THREE WEEKS. A FOURTH DIED THERE MONTHS EARLIER. IN THE PAST YEAR, LOCAL POLICE HAVE LOGGED APPROXIMATELY 2,800 CALLS, INCLUDING ASSAULTS, ROBBERIES, THEFTS, ETC.

POLICE HAVE BECOME MORE VISIBLE IN THE AREA BY PLACING MORE PATROL OFFICERS ON WALTER LANE. THEY HAVE ALSO USED CADETS TO CANVASS FOR WITNESSES AND POST REWARD INFORMATION. THE INCREASED PRESENCE HAS HELPED BUT THERE HAVE BEEN NO ARRESTS IN ANY OF THE THREE RECENT KILLINGS.

AMERICA HAS SPOKE :: CHANGE WILL COME

YESTERDAY, AMERICA ELECTED THE FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, SEN. BARACK OBAMA OF ILLINOIS.

OBAMA WAS DECLARED PRESIDENT JUST AFTER 11PM LAST NIGHT, AFTER PASSING THE NEEDED 210 ELECTORAL VOTES WITH VICTORIES IN CALIFORNIA AND WASHINGTON STATE. HE BLEW OUT REPUBLICAN OPPONENT, SEN. JOHN MCCAIN IN THE KEY VICTORY STATES OF OHIO, FLORIDA, VIRGINIA, AND PENNSYLVANIA. OBAMA WOULD ULTIMATELY WIN INDIANA AFTER MIDNIGHT BRINGING HIS TOTAL OF ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES TO 349, WHILE MCCAIN WON MONTANA, BRINGING HIS TOTAL TO 163.

FOLLOWING HIS CALL CF CONCESSION TO THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN, MCCAIN GAVE WHAT MANY CALL A VERY ADMIRABLE AND GRACEFUL CONCESSIONS SPEECH BEFORE SUPPORTERS IN PHOENIX. HE LIKE, OBAMA BOTH SPOKE ON THE HISTORIC IMPACT OF THE ELECTION. "THIS IS AN HISTORIC ELECTION, AND I RECOGNIZE THE SPECIAL SIGNIFICANCE IT HAS FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS AND THE SPECIAL PRIDE THAT MUST BE THEIRS TONIGHT," MCCAIN SAID.

OBAMA NOT ONLY SET RECORDS IN HISTORY BOOKS BY BECOMING THE NATIONS 44TH PRESIDENT AND THE FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN, BUT ALSO BY BECOMING THE DEMOCRAT SINCE JIMMY CARTER IN 1976 TO RECEIVE MORE THAN 50 PERCENT OF THE POPULAR VOTE AND TO TRANSFORM THE ELECTORAL MAP.

KINGPIN SLIM UPDATE

AYE, YESTERDAY @ GW WE RECEIVED WORD [FROM JUDAH] IN THE INTERVIEW THAT ONE THE DMV'S UP AND COMING ARTIST KINGPIN SLIM WAS SHOT. JUDAH, FROM FORTHEDMVONLY.BLOGSPOT.COM GOT THE STORY FOR YOU...

[FROM FTDO]

Day 1 Saturday night-Sunday morning
The day started out as a good one. After losing to my room mate in 2k9 (for some reason my Lakers can't beat his suns) I get a call from my jeweler saying that my pinky ring is ready. I'm bout to crush these peoples is what I thought to myself as I put on the hot pink Adidas sweater I'd been waiting to rock. I would need to get out there and back by 6 cause the Game Tight video shoot was scheduled to be finished. I grabbed the ring and was late to my own video shoot by a hour LOL but we made it work. Cameos from my homies, Boris from I Wanna Work For Diddy and Dre All Day In The Paint made it sweet! Afterward's I head home to eat and as I'm grubbing I get a call from a lady friend of mine who wants to meet for drinks. I meet her down lucky strike and get a call from one of my close friends who wants to go to Layla. The club is small and I'm not trying to mess up these fresh white shell toes I'm givin em but she and he wanna go so majority rules we in there! Once I get there I'm glad I came cause I ran into Rich Harrison and the whole Richcraft staff whom I was supposed to sign to Atlantic through in like 07. Everyone over there was telling me how much they like The Five Dollar High! Jerry Vines (Raheem DeVaughn manager) and I had words, slid him a CD as he said he heard of me and would check it out. People were complimenting my sweater and I felt like I had "that glow" the whole night. On the way to my car I see my ex parked right beside me (showing off her new Benz LOL). I get in my car and reach down for a CD to give her, On the way up I feel something in my peripheral view. As I turn towards it I see the flash of a chrome handgun, probably a 40 cal or a 44. I tried to escape through the passenger side but it was too late this nigga was dumping 6 shots in my ass from 5 feet away max! After the last shot he stopped shooting (either out of bullets or thought I was dead) and walks away. Not runs walks as to not create any more commotion. I'm thinking that was a smart move as the blood from my wounds starts to leak everywhere. Looking over at my ex who is mind you right beside me she looks like she saw a ghost. Her girlfriend who was riding with her opened the drivers side back door and yells to me "cmon nigga! Let's get you to the hospital!" I mustered up the strength to pull myself into their car and we sped off towards the nearest hospital. My ex was in shock and didn't have enough coherence to think straight so her girlfriend took over shouting directions at her and orders at me to hold on! As we get to the ER the girlfriend hops out yelling he's been shot he's been shot! They pull the stretcher around and ask me to pull myself up on it! I'm like nigga I can't fucking move! Once I yelled that, it was like my last piece of energy so thankfully they sprung into action and pulled me up on the stretcher. The slugs are burning as I look up in the sky I can hear my ex and her home girl telling me to be strong, easy for them to say! This shit is painful and as I'm leaking blood on the stretcher these fuckers go the wrong way! They had to turn me around and get me to the operating room. As I get there, they just start cutting my clothes off ( I'm gonna miss those Rock and Republic jeans, the hoodie I will be copping soon as I get back on my feet off top!) and telling me how lucky I am to have survived. It turns out I had like 15 people in ER, homies and exes mainly but they only let my daughters mother up to see me. I still can't move my lower body and at this point am praying that I ain't paralyzed. Lucky for me I'm a gym rat and all that came into play during this ordeal as I had to rely solely on upper body strength to get me by. The Feds show up all gung ho and leave disappointed as I ain't have anything for them. The doc tells me I took 6 shots from a 40 cal or 44 and that my right hand and left leg are broke from the shots. My daughters mom is crying on me and I gotta piss like a raging bull but I can't get it out lying down so they had to sit me upright so I can get this pee up outta me. They tell me surgery in the morning to put a rod in my leg so I can start the process of walking again. Eventually I fell asleep.......

Montgomery Teen Killed on Ride On bus

On Saturday night, a 14- year old boy was killed and two other teens were seriously wounded by a gunman on a crowded Montgomery County bus, after an alleged argument moments earlier.

The incident occurred on the Ride On bus as it approached Piney Branch Road and Arliss Street in Silver Spring about 11 p. m. According to witnesses, the first group of three to five people including the shooter, got off the bus at that stop and then the alleged gunman turned and fired several shots at the teenagers inside.

The victim, Tai Lam, was a freshman honor student and wrestler at Montgomery Blair High School. He was pronounced dead a short time after the incident at a hospital. The other victims, ages 14 and 15, were in serious condition yesterday, according to police.

The victim's brother, Lam Cao, 16, has disputed the police account of the argument, saying that the shooting was not provoked. Cao also reported that one of the member's of the shooter's group held the door of the bus open as the gunman fired.

Detectives are still investigating the case to find out whether or not the shooting was gang-related.
