Oh, i am mad for him!

Can you imagine spending 35 years in prison, i mean that is  a lifetime, in prison for a crime you did not commit!  I mean, he must have so much faith and patience. All he could say was “I got God in my head” Wow!

I just read this story on Cnn.com  James Bain, 54  who sentenced to life in prison after being convicted  on charges of kidnapping, burglary and strong-arm rape  when he was 19 years old.  Bain was set free after DNA test showed he did not kidnap and rape  the  9-year-old boy accused of,  in 1974.

It is stories like this that make you stop and think, How many other innocent people are still out there serving life sentences for crimes that they did not commit. This man went to jail at 19, and now he is coming out at 54 years old.  Very sad indeed. This is someone’s son, cousin, uncle who missed a lot of family moments serving time for something he didn’t do.

As reported on CNN, In 1974, the 9-year-old Lake Wales, Florida, victim had told police that his attacker had bushy sideburns and a mustache. After being shown five photos of potential suspects, the victim picked out one of Bain, the police report said.

So, some outstanding issues here, for one  the real criminal here went free and innocent man served time. This boy who is now what 44 is going to have to re-live all that ordeal and am thinking maybe full of  Guilt for causing someone else to  be wrongfully punished, and the fact that he may never get real justice for the crime commited against him.

One thing is for sure, James Bain’s mother is in cloud 9 right now. I mean, this  is the perfect christmas present for this entire family!

I wish all of the people affected here  some peace.

Tiger you know there was no way people would have left you alone.  You are an icon and in the world of golf you are the superstar, and so when drama happens in your life, everyone will not only hear about it, but mostly would have something to say about it.

So Tiger cheated on his wife,  so should we really care?  I mean… Whatever happens in his marriage should be  his business, and is between him and his wife, right?  Oh yeah…i forgot, it would if he was only  Tom, Dick , or Harry.

I am not saying cheating is ok, but for heavensake,  leave the man alone  and let him work on fixing his marriage, whatever that is left of it!

Sunday’s game between the Chiefs and the Steelers was the GAME to watch! Wow i still can’t belive the Chiefs beat the SB champions! I bet the Steelers are still thinking that was a prank. So The Chiefs CAN actually play? I mean, i  want to rewind this whole season and want them to start all over again, of course starting last Sunday, lol.

Yeah.. I know am not the only fan saying this now…Who is Larry Johnson?  when you have Jamal Charles bringing it! Bowe was suspended, but his replacement – Chambers didn’t dissappoint.

Hey I love football, i am just telling it as it is. So to the coach, keep on doing what you are doing, i don’t care whether you didn’t play football or not, this Sunday was the best time spent watching the team play. I hope this is the beginning, no more hopeless plays.

Good Job, KC Chiefs! Go Chiefs!

….Did anyone watch soccer championship last night? I just caught the last 10 min as i was watching the AMA awards… Oh man, i felt so sorry for Beckham. He played through all the pain, and only for his team members to lose on the penalty kicks! Oh well, David you played well, there’s always another season!

Happy Monday!

If only.

Oprah has decided to end her show on September 9, 2011 after  25  successful years in the running.  Wait… She is not retiring, she is just expanding her network. Apparently rumor has it she will be bringing her program to her own network- The Oprah Winfrey Network.

For Oprah, this just means- she is just getting started! Well Oprah, i know you don’t believe in luck, but i will still wish you lots of it. I am sure anything you touch turns out to be  gold and this new venture is just going to be a success!

I think we should start a campaign  with the slogan – who wants to work for Oprah? I  am in.

update…

Oprah announces the end of her show and gets all choked up….Here’s that video link

This is the picture released for Major Nidal Hasan, the U.S. Army Psychiatrist that shot and killed 12 men and wounded 31 others today at the army base Fort Hood, Texas.  According to yahoo news, this man was against the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. He had wanted the President to pull the soldiers from this 2 countries, and today he just lost it.

He is still alive.

What is really troubling here is, all this men couldn’t defend themselves, i mean they have no reason to carry guns around on base. They only use their guns during training. This is very sad. Families get worried when their loved ones get deployed overseas, when  they are still in the country at least you have peace. How do you call someone’s wife, mother, husband and tell them their fellow army man, who is supposed to protect them, who took an oath to fight for the country, just shot and killed them!

This is is hard to take in.  Peace to all.

WICHITA | A Kansas nurse convicted of enslaving the mentally ill residents of the group home she ran with her husband was due back in court Tuesday to be re-sentenced.

Linda Kaufman was convicted in November 2006 of defrauding and abusing residents. Jurors found that the 66-year-old woman forced residents to work naked and perform sex acts while the government and their families were billed for “therapy.”

Kaufman was sentenced to seven years in prison. But a federal appeals court has ruled that the trial judge should reconsider factors that could mean a longer sentence.

*****

All i can think of right now is plain abuse.  This nurse took advantage of her patients, how would she have felt if this was done to her? This is a 66 yr old woman having people work nude for her! Jeez what is happening with this world?

I would not want to be the mom in this situation,  imagine having to give birth 2,000 ft in the sky! Mmmh, no epidural,  no hospital bed, no hospital staff etc But There was a Doctor on board, what a relief!  On another note, hope some people won’t get any ideas either – on how to get free flights, mmh, lol

AFP/File – A baby boy who made a surprise arrival on board an AirAsia flight this week will be given free flights …

 

KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) – A baby boy who made a surprise arrival on board an AirAsia flight this week will be given free flights for life with the budget carrier, as will his mother, the airline said Friday.

AirAsia said 31-year-old passenger Liew Siaw Hsia went into labour on Wednesday’s flight from the northern island of Penang to Kuching on Borneo island.

The aircraft made an emergency diversion to the Malaysian capital but the baby arrived just before landing, delivered by a doctor who was on board and who was assisted by the airline’s flight attendants.

“The baby was safely delivered when flight AK 6506 was approaching Kuala Lumpur for landing at 2,000 feet,” the airline said in a statement, adding that  mother and baby were taken to a nearby hospital following touchdown.

“To celebrate this momentous occasion, we decided to present both mother and child with free flights for life,” said AirAsia’s director of operations Moses Devanayagam after visiting them in hospital.
