“While the show’s (“Olbermann”) content was distinctive and extremely high quality, we ultimately made a business decision to move in another direction,” the ESPN Faculty said in a statement. “We wish Keith nothing but the best and trust that his skill and ability will lead him to another programming endeavor.”
Olbermann’s contract was set to expire at the end of this month.

Why is this video coming out now? Well it seems that some, if not all of the women accusing him of sexual misconduct, were apparently telling the truth. Newly revealed court records show Cosby admitting that he used drugs on some of the women he wanted to have sex with.
So maybe this song explains the reason for his actions with these women.

I guess when your father was a failed president of the United States, and your brother was a failed President of the United States and you are running to carry on their failed legacy, then it is quite reasonable for you to think that working longer hours is the key to success.
Bush told New Hampshire’s The Union Leader that to grow the economy, “people should work longer hours.”
He was answering a question about his plans for tax reform and responded:
“My aspiration for the country and I believe we can achieve it, is 4 percent growth as far as the eye can see. Which means we have to be a lot more productive, workforce participation has to rise from its all-time modern lows. It means that people need to work longer hours” and, through their productivity, gain more income for their families. That’s the only way we’re going to get out of this rut that we’re in.”
Already the Democratic National Committee has pounced, releasing a statement that calls his remarks “easily one of the most out-of-touch comments we’ve heard so far this cycle,” adding that Bush would not fight for the middle class as president.
You can still fly the flag on your own property, but the “deeply offensive symbol” as South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley called it, is officially coming down from the State’s capitol grounds.
After nearly all of South Carolina Senators voted to take the flag down last week in a 36 to 3 vote, the state’s House voted to do the same early Thursday morning, in a 220 to 94 vote. The bill was sent to Governor Nikki Haley around 1am to be signed into law.
The flag received renewed scrutiny after a racist white supremacist – seen in pictures burning the American flag and waving the confederate flag – murdered nine black church members as they held a Bible Study in a predominantly black Church in Charleston South Carolina. Among those killed was the pastor of Emanuel AME Church and a State Legislature, Pastor Clementa Pinckney. Gov Haley then promised that she would used Executive order to removed the flag if all other measures failed.
Among those calling for the flag’s removal was Rep. Jenny Horne, who made a passionate plea to her fellow representatives before the vote was held.
Her name is Jenny Horne and until today, I would have bet that all Republicans want the confederate flag to keep flying. Yes, they would say one thing when the lights and cameras are turned on, but when the lights go off, these same Republicans talk about their love of the flag and all it represents. But after listening to Jenny Horne I am convinced that she is one Republican who is against the flag and all the evil it represents.
Listen to State Rep. Jenny Horne’s passionate call to her fellow politicians to rip down the flag!
This message was checked out and verified by ABC. You’d think that after the senseless killing of Freddie Gray from injuries he sustained in the back of a Baltimore police van, you’d think that everything possible was being done to ensure sensitivity in the Baltimore police department.
But you’d be wrong to think that. This pic was taken in the back of a Baltimore police van, the same type of van where Freddie Grey’s spine became partially severed.
It’s Florida, so what do you expect. If there were ever going to be a vote in favor of flying the confederate flag, Florida would be the place to hold such a vote! And today, after all the fuss about the racism surrounding the flag, Florida has decided to put their flag back up on full display!
Officials in Florida’s Marion County have decided to buck the national — not counting Mississippi — trend of removing the Confederate battle flag from government buildings by restoring the one they took down after the June shootings in Charleston, South Carolina.
At the Marion County Commission meeting Tuesday morning, “several” members of general public argued that the flag ought to be restored, and the commission voted to do exactly that.
Members of the commission assured the Ocala Star Banner’s Kristine Cane, however, that the flag would be accompanied by an informative display that would outline its historical significance.
It will come as no surprise that many in the conservative world are buying into this piece of propaganda. It was first posted by conservative elite, Dinesh D’Souza on Twitter and on his Facebook page, and has since been shared my other eager Republicans who will stop at nothing to save the confederate flag.
Here is the Twitter post from Dinesh, showing Hillary Clinton posing with the confederate flag displayed in the background.
But here is the real photo of Hillary Clinton. Notice the obvious absence of a confederate flag!
But as usual, facts mean nothing to this group of Republicans as they shared all jumped into a frenzy sharing the fake image of Clinton with the photoshopped flag!
Realizing the photo was a fake, Twitter users took it a step further using Dinesh D’Souza himself, posing next to some questionable artifacts. This tweet took the cake!
Brand new accusations of racism were hauled at Celebrity Chef Paula Deen Tuesday, after she took to Twitter and posted a picture – reportedly taken in 2011 – of herself dressed as Lucille Ball from I Love Lucy, and her son sporting a brown face, apparently meant to represent Lucy’s husband, Rickey.
“”Lucyyyyyyy! You got a lot of esplainin’ to do! #TransformationTuesday,” the photo caption read.
Twitter users went understandably went NUTS!
Deen was dropped from Food Network in 2013 after she admitted in a videotaped deposition to using the N-word and to telling staff that she wanted her brother to have a ‘”southern plantation wedding” featuring an all-black waitstaff. Deen gave the deposition for a discrimination suit against her, her company and her brother. The fallout from those comments cost her several other lucrative business relationships.
She was recently cut by Fox News, so her audience has obviously reduced significantly. What’s a Palin to do? Sane people are not really going to pay to hear Palin spread her lies and hate, so her only other move was to offer her lies and propaganda for free.
“It’s starting August 1st, everything’s free,” Palin said in announcing the end of her paid subscription service. “And just to let you know, that it is an honor to have you subscribe, really it’s been so illuminating and still is so illuminating to read and to respond to many of your insightful comments about current events, about so many things going on in our world today.”
“Now, it is with an important presidential election coming up that we are going to do this,” she continued. “I just want to make sure that your voices and mine are heard by the widest possible audience across this great land of ours. I really look forward to continuing to hear your ideas and your dreams and your solutions for America.”
The South Carolina Senate has voted and the vote was overwhelming – 37 to 3 in favor of removing the confederate flag from Statehouse grounds in the state!
“We now have the opportunity, the obligation to put the exclamation point on an extraordinary narrative of good and evil, of love and mercy that will take its place in the history books,” said Sen. Tom Davis, R-Beaufort.
Lawmakers had largely ignored the flag until the killing of nine black people during a Bible study at a historic African-American church on June 17.
The video below shows a police officer in Harlem attempting an arrest on a man because the man had what a witness called a “pen knife!”
The incident happened around 3:15 p.m. on Frederick Douglass Blvd. at W. 129th St. last week, when the officer spotted 30 year old Saykou George and stopped the man for having the knife. George is asked for his identification and when it was provided, the officer is seen putting the man’s identification in his pocket and pulling out the pair of handcuffs.
At that moment, George is heard asking why the officer took his i.d. The officer began approaching George to make the arrest and that is when all hell broke loose!
Things began to escalate real fast when George tried to walk away, still asking the officer for his id. The officer pushed George into a fence and threw a punch at the man. George then tried walking in the opposite direction with the officer following. Another punch was thrown by the officer and George retaliated and a street brawl ensued.
George was eventually arrested when a gang of officers showed up and took him to the ground. Before he was taken down, the officer connected on three punches. According to the police commissioner, Bill Bratton, the officer involved did nothing wrong.
“My preliminary review of that was I saw nothing inappropriate with the officer’s behavior,” Bratton said.
George was charged with resisting arrest, assault on a police officer, possession of a knife and disorderly conduct. The police officer’s conduct is being investigated by… the police department.
