Apology

A WINDOW INTO RACISM IN AMERICA, 2008Jimmy ZI am glad that A Newt One is shaking things up. As I told my friend The Knight, I do not desire to be controversial for the sake of causing controversy. But the truth is by and of itself controversial, and many people are upset by the truth - that's for sure.I wrote a ten item list in response to the demands issued online by a group of black Americans. Their list infuriated me. I wrote in my piece exactly where one could go to retrieve their list and give my list context.Apparently, no one wanted to do that. Fair enough; I cannot force A Newt One's readers to do their follow up. Hell, for many years now, I could not force the leftwing democrats in the evil left wing chat room to do their follow up either. Some folks don't want context; it's

There is scarcely a day that goes by that we are not excoriated by some wild-eyed, nimrod moonbat for posting "hate speech". Our typical response is to consider the source, delete the comment and never give it another thought.Until today.On a daily basis, we write posts that are always true, never plagiarized, never sugar-coated, often hilarious but never hate speech. Hate speech is vicious, corrosive and designed for no other purpose but to tear down and cause pain. We leave the hate speech to the leftists.What we use is truth speech. In doing so, many people become very offended. We usually don't care.Until today.Today, I was accused of posting hate speech on my blog by a sane person, a person I truly respect. The accusation was based on two specific articles. I didn't write either one.

ARTICLE FOUND < HERE >NEW YORK - Roger Clemens apologized today for unspecified mistakes in his personal life but denied having an affair with a 15-year-old.The Daily News reported last week Clemens had a decade-long relationship with country star Mindy McCready that began when she was 15 and an aspiring singer. The newspaper also linked Clemens to former Manhattan bartender Angela Moyer and Paulette Dean Daly, a former wife of champion golfer John Daly."Even though these articles contain many false accusations and mistakes, I need to say that I have made mistakes in my personal life for which I am sorry," Clemens said in a statement issued by spokesman Patrick Dorton. "I have apologized to my family and apologize to my fans. Like everyone, I have flaws. I have sometimes made choices which

Judge apologizes, pays $100K for lawsuit By MICHAEL LIEDTKE Full story here on www.montereyherald.com SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — In an unusual act of contrition, a state court judge has publicly apologized and agreed to pay $100,000 to Silicon Valley billionaire Tom Siebel for wrongfully besmirching him in a lawsuit she filed as an attorney more than a [...]

Our favorite Canadian, April Lavigne, wants to speak to her fans from the heart. The singer and "songwriter" just posted the following on her official blog. She says: "Hey Guys, I am at home right now taking it easy. I have been sick this whole tour, and now I have lost my voice. I have never canceled a show [...]

Monday evening after the match between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore, there was a minor argument between the Indian One-day captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and constable Shivakumar of Cubbon Park Police Station.

In a recent article on People.com, I learned that some Miley Cyrus Vanity Fair photos resulted in Miley Cyrus issuing an apology to her fans via People.com.The Miley Cyrus Vanity Fair photos were meant to be artistic in nature and according to People.com regarding the Miley Cyrus Vanity Fair photo in question, "Miley's grandmother and her teacher were there when she shot it [the photo that proved embarassing]."Apparently, through the miracle of modern photography, the photo appeared much more revealing than it really was and the end result proved embarassing to Miley Cyrus.

Kollywood’s protest on Karnataka’s stance on the Hogenakkal issue, witnessed a huge turnout. Almost all the biggies in Kollywood, including Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan made it to the event, except a few who could not make it due to short notice and prior commitments. Although the absentees were asked to give an explanation for their absence, Asin seemed to have ignored it. Having given the actress enough notice, the Nadigar Sangam planned to initiate action against her. Meanwhile, the Malabar beauty has sent a letter of apology stating that her commitment as the brand ambassador of a popular brand forbade her from partaking in the fasting. She also gave an assurance that this would not happen in future. With the letter arriving on time the actress seems to have emerged unscath

I passed the 72 hour mark without smoking a cigarette a few short minutes ago. Overall today was definitely easier than yesterday. But it still had its challenges. The morning started with the return commute to San Jose to finish getting Rover smogged (I promise to post my rant on this tomorrow), but [...]

I need to apologize for being hypocrytical about my sis. On her myspace, everytime she likes a new guy she pours out all these emotions about how she likes him so much, is mad that the guy before left her broken, he has changed her life for the better and basically all I hear is blah blah blah fake emotions. Well, I need apologize because I always rant on how she never understands me and would probably think me crazy if she knew how I really felt, and you know what for me to tell her what she is feeling is not real is hypocrytical. I need to show her as much respect about her feelings (whether I see them as fake or stupid) as I feel I deserve for my own. So I am sorry sis and I will no longer judge her feelings because I am not taking the time to understand her and, I need to if I want

Bollywood actress Celina Jaitley says she will withdraw her lawsuit against Pooja Bedi, who allegedly called her mentally ill and delusional, if the latter issues a public apology. "If she apologises to me in all the leading newspapers, I wouldn't want to take this further. But calling someone delusional is not a small matter. I've nothing against Pooja. So I don't know why she decided to talk like this. People are wondering why she has spoken like this," Celina told IANS in an interview.

A while ago, I explained that terrorists legitimize killing innocent civilians in a Democracy because the elected leaders who make the nation’s decisions are elected directly by the people, thus our responsibility for their suffering. Well, after CNN’s Jack Cafferty called China’s government, a “bunch of goons and thugs,” China is protesting using the [...]

So why are the Chinese Americans and Chinese all around the world so upset with what CNN's Cafferty said in the program "The situation room" last wednesday 09 April 2008. This is what Cafferty did,Cafferty said in "The Situation Room" program on last Thursday that the United States continues to import Chinese-made "junk with the lead paint on them and the poisoned pet food...""I think they're

A "Goons" Apology, Sort of....More on the "goons and thugs" remarks by CNN commentator Jack Cafferty. He gave a rambling, semi-coherent populist rant preceding the remark (see here for a transcript), which included something about exporting jobs to a Shangri-la-ish place where workers are paid 'a dollar a month.' Anyway, for the record, on April 14, on the same program (The Situation Room) he did apologize,........ sort of: Last week, during a discussion of the controversy surrounding China's hosting of the Olympic Games, I said that the Chinese are basically the same bunch of goons and thugs they have been for the last 50 years. I was referring to the Chinese government, and not to Chinese people or to Chinese-Americans. I guess this more or less falls into the category I mentioned bel

Once again a Republican candidate is apologizing to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. This time no one did something as outrageous as calling the man by his name (Hussein). This time it was for something different."I'm going to tell you something: That boy's finger does not need to be on the button," Congressman Geoff Davis said during a speech at a dinner event in Kentucky. "He could not make a decision in that simulation that related to a nuclear threat to this country."Davis, rightfully received praise from the audience after the remark but later came under fire from some who saw the reference to an African-American as a "boy" as racist.After coming under fire, did Davis point out that he was referring to the same person who once talked about invading Pakistan but wants

Calling Rob Sherman to apologize for her bigoted tirade was a step in the right direction, however Rep. Monique Davis (D-Chicago) still owes a public apology to the millions of American atheists to whom her public comments were also directed. I'd like to offer a brief explanation about why this is necessary and suggest a way out of this mess for Rep. Davis.A public apology is necessary because Rep. Davis' comments were made public on the floor of the Illinois Legislature and because they were relevant to all American atheists and not simply to Mr. Sherman. According to a recent press release issued by the American Humanist Association:"Such a purely private apology, even when publicly reported, misses the point," declared Lipman today. "What Monique Davis said was an offense to all nonthei

Rep. Monique Davis (D-Chicago) finally apologized to atheist activist Rob Sherman for her tirade of bigotry. She was reportedly stressed over learning about the death of a Chicago are public school student, somehow excusing her behavior. Sherman has accepted her apology and forgiven her. So is this matter closed now? Not just yet.Initially, I thought I could join Rob Sherman in agreeing to forgive Rep. Davis. I have certainly said things I later regretted when under periods of great stress. Then again, I would expect to face consequences for public expressions of bigotry, regardless of how much stress I was experiencing at the time. Like others, I am able to control my impulses and exercise reasonable judgment, even in periods of distress. Rep. Davis can believe what she wants, but even if

I am not sure where to start with this, because it is decidedly not funny, but every time I start writing about it, I get the giggles. You know that funny bone that is not in your elbow but is in your knee? The one that really kills when you bump it? Yeah, well my knee funny bone keeps jerking and kicking a whoopee cushion, a whoopee cushion that I wrote sad teenage poetry all over.So, let's start again. Hello, my name is Schmutzie, and I am not being funny. In fact, I am being very sad, especially over the last few months. I do not mean sad-all-the-time sad. It is more like anxious-sad, it's-blooding-fucking-spring sad, seasonal-affective-disorder sad, dealing-with-the-past-year-from-hell sad.For those of you who were not here as far back as September 2006, that was the month in wh

In an earlier post I talked about how Jesus displayed his propensity for mercy and inclusion when he met the woman at the well in John 4:1-42. At that time I was basing my remarks upon what is the current wisdom among many progressive Christians, that the Jewish culture of the time [...]

I'm the first person to admit when he is in the wrong and I fucked up last week. There was a somewhat offensive remark in the Street Dreams K-Def remix write up directed toward people of a particular nation. Unfortunately the person who pointed it out didn't read the whole write up and see who wrote it and therefore pointed the finger at me. That particular write up was part of the original

I owe another apology. The first one was in regards to a comment that someone else had written. This apology is for something that I have continually written. I have often used the phrase "arab/islamists". I didn't think twice about it until this afternoon. It is extremely unfair, and unjustified, for me to use the term Arab. G-d made a covenant with Ishmael, the father of the Arab peoples.

Jimmy Henchmen Replies To LA Times' Apology; Afeni Speaks Czar Entertainment CEO Jimmy "Henchmen" Rosemond has responded to an apology issued by the Los Angeles Times, claiming the article not only libeled him, but also put his family at risk. A March 17 article written by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Chuck Phillips titled "Blood Feud" claimed that Sean "Diddy" Combs and Christopher "The Notorious B.I.G." Wallace had advanced knowledge that Tupac ...

In reading LALATE NEWS daily, you now know what has happened to this tale of The Times. Chuck Philips in a Los Angeles Times article claimed involvement by Sean “Diddy” Combs in a 1994 assault against Tupac. Diddy quickly said it was false. Then the website The Smoking Gun provided alleged proof that it was false, based [...]

Los Angeles, Ca. (ThaLunatic Daily) -- Mandi Hamlin, a 37 year old woman who was forced by the Transportation Security Administration to remove nipple piercings before boarding an aircraft, wants an apology . and she'll sue if she doesn't get one.Hamlin, who resides in Texas, demonstrated for reporters the manner she used to extract nipple piercings after being informed she could not board the aircraft without doing so.When Hamlin attempted to pass through security, a hand held scanner beeped when it was passed over her chest. When she told security that she had nipple piercings, she was informed that she'd have to remove them.She was directed behind a curtain where she intended to take them out. When she couldn't remove the second piercing, she was given a pair of pliers to finish

I owe an apology to anyone who reads this, especially my Jewish audience. I have removed a comment by a person who went by the pen name "jesus". He had made a disparaging comment about banning the Talmud and also claimed to be starting a site for the denial of the holocaust. I would have removed it sooner however I was not in a location where I could access my account. This blog is where I go to

My post on 15 March inadvertently insulted hearing people and for that, I sincerely apologise.

What I SHOULD’VE said was ‘What gives people the idea that they have a right to be condescending and [...]

From Truth News : Oscar-winning actress Marion Cotillard has refused to yield to a non-existent media-manufactured "outrage" and recant her comments about 9/11, as some newspapers falsely claim that she has "apologized" for discussing the collapse of the WTC complex and sharing doubts about the official story held by the majority of Americans. Under the headline, Marion Cotillard U-turns on 9/

Earlier tonight, I posted a entry on here about the situation with Geraldine Ferraro. Unfortunately, I allowed my emotions to get the best of me, and after coming back and looking at the post, I decided to pull it from the Blog.  I did this because I felt that I was stooping to her level, by calling her the stuff that I did. I will try not to allow this to happen again, I'm better than that sort of a thing, I just sometimes forget that. Again, I apologize to any female readers who might have seen that post and were offended. I mean that sincerely... -Chuck Editor-In-Chief - Political Byline  

Eliot Spitzer - Governor Eliot Spitzer Apologizes - Eliot Spitzer Apology - Eliot Spitzer Apologizes to Family - Eliot Spitzer Emperor's Club VIP Spitzer in a video you will not want to miss. New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, aka Client 9 as he is known at the Emperor's Club VIP, issued an apology to his family and the public but he did not mention the prostitution ring or the Emperor's Club VIP sex club during his apology speech.Many have called for Eliot Spitzer's resignation, but Eliot Spitzer has not decided if he is going to resign.

Though I thought I was being rather witty in my “Blogging Mistake” post, I seem to have offended someone who I have followed in their blogging career for quite some time (since they started, to my knowledge, and watched them progress). Though my mood may have been been a little off during that day, I seem [...]

By DANNY HAKIM and WILLIAM K. RASHBAUMMarch 11, NY TimesALBANY — Gov. Eliot Spitzer was a client of a high-end prostitution ring broken up last week by federal authorities, according to law enforcement officials, a development that threatened to end his career and turned the state’s political world upside down.Mr. Spitzer’s involvement with the prostitution operation came to light in court papers filed last week, the officials said, as federal prosecutors charged four people with operating the service, Emperor’s Club V.I.P. Mr. Spitzer was caught on a federal wiretap discussing payments and arranging to meet a prostitute in a Washington hotel room last month. The affidavit, which did not identify Mr. Spitzer by name, indicated that he had used the prostitution service before, altho

Everyone took notice, when Whoopi Goldgerg became emotional Monday on The View while discussing the fact that she was omitted from the montage of hosts during the Academy Awards broadcast. Whoopi announced on The View today that Gil Cates the shows producer called her and said "he made an oversight, pure and simple. You know I love you ... It was a mistake, and I'm sorry I didn't catch it." It is always big of someone to admit a mistake, I'm just not buying that it was a mistake. I seriously doubt there were many black women with dread locks on the Oscar's footage, she is kinda hard to miss in a sea of white folks. I think that Whoopi is on a top rated daytime show, and showed that she was really upset by the snubb. With the strong reactions and support she got from her fans, I think the

I found this interesting cartoon blog with Stumble Upon (how else). It's drawn by Mark Gleim. I love the way it's been drawn and the way the humour somehow manages to be silly and true to life at the same time. It does have what some would consider bad language, but I don't think it's at all out of place in the realms of the topics dealt with, or detracts in anyway from the humour. The drawing is wonderfully loose and always clear. Visit the site: and make up your own mind, or just visit it and have faith in my judgement that this is one of the best loosely drawn web comics drawn by someone called Mark, out there. Oh and unlike this shambles of a cartoon blog, this one is updated every Tuesday (mostly). I'm wondering why Tuesdays are such a good day to update, but in my experience it's on

This is my first post really branching away from what I usually write about - you have been warned! I’m having a hard time writing this post because the consequences are ongoing and unresolved but I’m going to plough ahead with it regardless. It will either be taken as sincere or it will loose me someone [...]

Sen. Barack Obama’s wife, Michelle Obama, made recent statements saying that for the first time in her adult life she was really proud of her country. She said that for a long time she’s been frustrated by the way our country was going and that it made her feel isolated and disappointed. She said that her husband’s candidacy, and the response he’s gotten from America, has really convinced her that the country has a true hunger for change and that she isn't alone. And, this made her feel proud.Well, all hell broke loose because the last thing a Black person can say is that they haven’t always been proud of their country. Despite the legacy of slavery and other historic injustices, continuing economic and social inequality, etc., we simply aren’t allowed to say that we aren’t a

"Please forgive me. I'm unbelievably nervous. I'm not very good at this." ~ Katherine Heigl, presenting at last night's Academy AwardsYep, even actors can be afraid to speak in public!A few months ago, I posted about apologizing during a presentation, either to explain away nervousness or to get the audience on your side for some as-yet-unperceived mistake.If you've done nothing wrong, there's no need to apologize.If you're nervous, like Katherine Heigl, I guarantee you are ten or a hundred times more sensitive to your own nervousness than the audience. And even if they do notice you're nervous, so what? They would be nervous, too, if they were the ones in front of the room.You may think that apologizing in advance is going to get the audience's support. You might think it will endear you

I really have to apologize for writing nothing for more than 2 weeks! I wrote so much because I was at the time waiting for the new job to start. And now, it started. So I don't have so much time to bring so many things here.But I hope to bring you a few commentaries in the coming week!

I wanted to share this with my non Aussie readers. Our new Prime Minister apologised to our Aborigines today for the stolen generations. I have always felt sorry for them since I was a kid because of how we invaded their country and treated them, but only until a few years ago I never knew we were stealing their kids. It's not exactly something they taught you in school history lessons!What is worse is that, this is pretty recent, Aborigines my age and even younger were stolen from their families up until the mid 70's, I find that all very barbaric and disgusting. There was a touching movie called Rabbit-Proof Fence that I think everyone should see.Of course, this has been very controversial with our previous Prime Minister refusing to apologise. Frankly, I don't see the big deal, regardle

Though we are living in Croatia we still keep an eye on what is happening back home in Australia.

Those [...]

Hi :-)This posting is a little sad, but provides hope at the same time! I wanted to wish you all a very Happy New Year, but also to apologise for the posting below, which was not 'me' and may have come across in the wrong way.Perhaps this 'intro' posting may also help people who are either down and alone during this festive season, to pick back up again and see hope in their future - and in contrast, perhaps help those, who are already experiencing a happy and wonderful life, a greater understanding of those people who lack this joy in their lives at the moment.Remember, our lives are constantly changing - up, down, and around!! :-)Christmas. New Years. Family. It can be such a wonderful, joyeous time - of love, happiness, a sense of belonging and importance; a time to give and to receive

an open letter posted at iloilophilippines.org   ———————————-   We, the administrators of the IloiloPhilippines.org are on crisis because of the issue regarding the photos of Mr. Anton Sheker used without due permission. In this case, we are extending our apology to him for using these photos in our banners. Our Side The photos used were just found through Google search and our developer probably did not notice the copyright embedded in the images if they really had. The thing is, our developer cannot trace the source of the photo anymore. So we are not so sure if they truly came from photo.net.ph or from elsewhere. The owner of the said digital photos claimed that the IloiloPhilippines.org administrators just ignored the complain so he did post several messages in the blogs and forums sections of the site in which some of them were posted in wrong places so the webmasters chose to delete them. It is not true.

The three associations of sports journalists - Bangladesh Sports Journalists Association, Bangladesh Sports Writers Association and Bangladesh Sports Journalists and Writers Community - yesterday demanded Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) president SA Sultan's apology for trying to disgrace the media last week.Sultan, in a letter to the National Sports Council (NSC) chairman and Chief of Army Staff General Moeen U Ahmed, claimed that 'the media cannot be controlled without exchange'. He also alleged that 'politically motivated media had launched a propaganda blitz against the BFF' in the written statement.Speaking at a press conference at the NSC conference room yesterday afternoon, leading sports journalists condemned Sultan for his loose remarks about the media, which has always given vast coverage of football despite the game's decline under his rein."Sultan has a tendency of denying comments made by him but such a remark, which is on record, from the president of the footb

I really don’t have time to write right at this moment, but I’d like to apologize to those kind bloggers who have been leaving me comments and have gotten no reply from me as of yet.

Hopefully I’ll be able to keep up the posting. In fact, I know I will. I just need to get some affairs in order, first :). Bookmark:

In reference to a recent list of the 10 most controversial comments by sports memorabilia celebrity Don West - I’m afraid I must correct a glaring error in this posting. Controversial quote #5 is listed as “Griffey!” In fact, the fifth-most controversial Don West quote should read as follows: 5. “You snooze, you lose!” Don’s job was to give his watchers the best deals on the most unbelievable sports collectibles. But, that was his only obligation. If you chose not to act on a deal that was just incredible, he could not care less. And he told you that to your face. In Don’s world, sleep was for losers who weren’t dedicated to sports collectibles and he felt no sympathy for that attitude. You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video I’d like to take this opportunity to apologize for this horrendous oversight. In the admittedly modest history of this website, we have never printed a factual error until now. Rest assured

I am sorry that I have not been able to get a new book review up. I was hoping to get The Longevity Thesis finished over the weekend but I've come to the realization that I will not be getting any reading done until the middle/end of next week. I want to extend my apologies to anyone waiting on my reviews but please let me explain.Last weekend I went to a live production of the opera Madama Butterfly for my opera course at UC Santa Cruz. I had intended to get The Longevity Thesis done that weekend, but it proved futile as time became a factor on Sunday. This week happens to be the beginning of finals. This means I have four essays to write that are due next week on different dates. I'm planning to get most of them done over the weekend, but I doubt that will happen.However, I am going to catch up on an whole lot of reading over the break, which will extend from next week until the 3rd of January. This means I intend to not only read everything on my reading list, but I am also

The Church remains spotless even when Her members sinThere is absolutely no doubt that the human history of the Church, like all of human history, has its dark pages. But if anyone cares to take an objective look at this history, one must quickly acknowledge that the doctrine of the Church has always implicitly condemned abuses introduced by Her members.In the words of Dr. Dietrich Von Hildebrand, "There were sinners in the Church yesterday and there are sinners in the Church today. But the Church Herself, in her divine teaching, emerges gloriously unspotted in a history stained by human weaknesses, errors, imperfections, and sins." In the words of the great Cardinal Journet:"All contradictions are eliminated as soon as we understand that the members of the Church do indeed sin, but they do so by their betraying the Church. The Church is thus not without sinners, but She is without sin. The Church as person is responsible for penance. She is not responsible for sins....The members of t

LUCKNOW: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati on Saturday decided to lift the ban imposed on Madhuri Dixit's comeback film 'Aaja Nachle' following an apology by producer Yash Chopra who has also decided to remove the objectionable parts of the title song's lyrics.Cabinet Secretary Shashank Shekhar Singh said, "We have just received a formal apology from Yash Chopra, who has agreed to not only remove the objectionable portions from the title song but has also assured us that he will not use those lines in any of his future films.""In view of the apology and his assurance, the state government has decided to lift the ban. Movie halls will begin screening the movie by Saturday evening," Singh added.The state government had on Friday banned the screening of the film following objections by Dalit leaders who had alleged that the title song made derogatory insinuations against the community.

The Christmas season is now officially upon us. Since we live about 16 hours away from our family, we receive all of our Christmas presents via the Post Office or UPS and FedEx.

Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan and director Farah Khan Friday said “sorry” to Manoj Kumar for what he perceived as his humiliation in a scene in the recently-released “Om Shanti Om”. But the legendary actor is unmoved, trade sources said. Manoj Kumar has not accepted the apology yet. “The two (Shah Rukh and Farah) will be required to do a lot more to convince him to forgive and forget,” the trade sources told IANS Friday night. The thespian had taken offence to a ’70s scene in the film which shows a young Manoj Kumar (played by a double) being beaten by police constables outside a theatre when he lands there for a premiere. The thespian had reportedly wanted to sue the filmmaker and Shah Rukh Khan for defamation and a deliberate attempt to humiliate him. (more…)

Anytime you have celebrities and pseudo-celebrities doing TV interviews to apologize for saying things that we all know they really meant, it can be a very embarrassing situation. I mean, you sit there and you watch this person groveling because they fear losing their career opportunities.Well, on cable’s Hannity and Colmes show, Duane “Dog” Chapman took his apology to an otherworldly level, when he said that he went to George Washington’s home in Mount Vernon and visited the site where Washington’s 300 slaves are buried. He says he is currently working on a deal to be buried at the site himself. I can only say…“What the f*ck?!!!”Dog says he wants his mistakes to be a lesson to other people. Apparently, someone in the future will know who Duane “Dog” Chapman is and will ask why this reality star is buried with Washington’s slaves. If that’s not the height of egomaniacal fantasy, I don’t know what is. Most people now don’t give a damn about Duane Chapman and

A dedicated apology I write for a person that represent humanity, in the kindness and devotion, in its goodness, its not an apology of mistakes done, rather an apology for what couldn't be done, a name I shall not mention, because the dedication is known for whom, and the one knows.I apologize because I couldn't be what you wanted, because i couldn't give what you asked, as it long died, for not forgetting as life taught me never to forget, for the distance I keep so as not to cause you pain later, you stood beside me when no one did, I never forget, a pain i cannot endure to cause you, you were spared, although i caused you lots, but pains of honesty and clarity, can be endured, rather than pains of dedication and no hope, that lasts for life.I hope someday you'll understand my actions, for I foresaw the future of endless agony if actions are not taken this way.I don't say I'm a saint for I'm surely not, I make mistakes, but have the courage to admit them, I can't be the cause

Keith Olbermann and Arianna Huffington smeared Rudy this week intentionally. There is no other way to describe what happened. Keith and Arianna called Rudy Giuliani a liar for claiming that Democratic Presidential candidates want to invite "Terrorists" to the White House. Well, that never happened. Rudy never said "Terrorists" Rudy never said the name Osama Bin Laden. Rudy was referring to... Click the Headline Link to Visit Copious Dissent and Read the Full Story.

Chances AreThe news station that insulted Janet Jackson and Tyler Perry during the "Why Did I Get Married" press junket has apologized for statements made last week. Apparently the station got a bevy of calls and emails regarding the distasteful behavior exhibited that morning. If you hadn't heard of the story, one of the reporters asked Janet some questions regarding the Superbowl. While the questions were meant to be taken as a joke, no one was laughing. Push It BackAshanti called Doug Banks Morning Show and confirmed some rumors. The video for "Hey Baby(After The Club) has not been shot yet, and the album has been pushed back. The album should arrive "at the top of next year" according to Ashanti. Awww Baby! U.N.I.T.Y.Trina wants more female unity! Don't we all? Apparently her and good friend Missy Elliott are trying to get all the (popular) female rappers...Remy included to partake in a song together. Good luck! Trina also responded to the long-standing rumor that her and Missy

My relationship with my parents has had its good moments and its bad ones. This is a work in progress...a letter to my dad. I doubt it'll ever get sent to him because he won't understand it. Here's hoping someone does...Dad,I hate it when we argue. I didn't write this to hurt you or to make you feel guilty. I'm writing it to try to help you understand how I feel. Please listen. Please try to see where I'm coming from.I love you with all my heart. I love you unconditionally. Every night I pray that you could love me half as much. I used to think you hung the moon. You were my Superman...my "big daddy." No one has shown me the kindness and love that you showed me when you adopted me and chose to be my dad. Not many kids get to say that. 14 years later you tore my whole world apart the day you decided you didn't want a family and left. I didn't understand then and now, 6 years later, I still don't understand. I'm still mad at you. I'm 23 and it still hurts just as bad as it did

I want to thank all the wonderful artists who have created something for Blog Action Day. More on that tomorrow.And a profound apology for not keeping up (especially after nudging everybody into action kind of hard). All the artwork that I have received will show up on the website, promise, cross my heart, and hope to ... uh... trip and fall - and with the proper acknowledgements and links to your various sites (and info about purchase too for those who chose that). I've just been a little overwhelmed by other stuff around here at Casa Insanity. Hopefully, things have started calming down, and I can create web pages that will upload correctly.

Today when cleaning out the family garbage truck, a.k.a the minivan, I noticed something had fell on the ground during my numerous trips to the garbage can. Annoyed and short on time, I simply escorted it back to the vehicle, where out of curiosity I decided to see what had refused to go to the place of no return. The offender had Testimonial written in big letters at the top and underneath was the name Hon. Ron Paul. "Great! This really needed to go to the trash!" However for some reason I decided to read it and boy I was shocked.I need to admit something before I go any farther. Up until this moment, I am ashamed to admit that I had pretty much written Ron Paul off as a total fruit cake in need of services from a good mental institution. While I am friends with some Ron Paul supporters, others have scared me with their almost cult-like devotion to the man whom I feel disgraced America when he once implied in a national debate that we were in some way responsible for the dem

As the incisive Senate Guru notes, Maine GOP chair Mark Ellis' press release update--the one acknowledging that Rep. Allen was at a family funeral in Bangor during three House votes Ellis accused him of skipping--contains nothing resembling an apology.(How did I miss that?)So important questions remain: Does Ellis believe Allen abrogated his obligation to his constituents by attending the funeral? Does Sen. Collins--whose campaign took the lead in disseminating the original attack--think an apology is in order?Or does she concur with Ellis that Allen's absence--for a family funeral--indicates that the six-term Democrat "seems to have lost interest in showing up to work." And does anyone in the Maine press corp find any of this salient enough to be worth a couple hundred words?

This has been something that has long been overdue. The toy recalls of all China made products because of the much celebrated “lead paint” issue, has spread like wildfire over the world and has tarnished the reputation of the leading manufacturer of Mattel toys as well. Apparently, there were glitches and misunderstandings that occurred along the way and a lot of these can be traced towards the quality and safety control of the popular toy manufacturer. While the apology and explanation was indeed given, the damage has been done. Download latest version of Flash to view video! .

An interesting story from the Washington Post (h/t China Challenges) about the Mattel toy story. The company made an apology for the recall, and the Chinese media took it as an apology to China. But is that how it was meant?: “Mattel says that Thomas A. Debrowski, its executive vice president for worldwide operations, was in Beijing to repeat what the company had already said in Europe and the United States, that it was sorry for the recall of millions of toys, and that it was doing all it could to prevent further problems. The Chinese press heard it differently. The state-run New China News Agency said Debrowski “apologized personally Friday to a senior Chinese official for the massive recall of Made-in-China toys due to design flaws committed by itself.” Other media outlets said Debrowski apologized for harming the reputation of Chinese firms.” PR can be a tricky business, and foreign firms have to be increasingly careful what they say when talking about China (eve

Yesterday was my day off. I had happened to see an ad the day before for "puppies for sale" on our studio bulletin board and decided to go have a look. Wow, they were cute!! Mixed breed Lab and unknown. There were 3 boys and 3 girls (4 of which have already been spoken for) so I have my pick between a little tan colored girl or a white and brown boy. I told the woman I'd call her today..... I'm still trying to decide if I should get one of these or go to a shelter to choose one.On to other news, I wrote that librarian, Betty, back and she gave me her number! I'm going to call her this weekend.You are probably wondering about Jewelie? Have I heard from Jewelie?! Well, surprisingly YES. The day after that class she called me (sobbbing hysterically I might add) and asked me to please forgive her for being such "an asshole". Wow. She said "I know I have very deep and troubling personality issues and I'm working on them in therapy". She asked if she could "p

             Earlier today, MapleJuice.com published a story reporting on rumors of an alleged Elisha Cuthbert sex tape. We have since been informed by representatives of Ms. Cuthbert that the rumors upon which we were reporting are absolutely untrue, and completely fabricated.

Guess what. It’s funny video Friday and I’m in the mood for Family Guy. The Family Guy has some pretty edgy comedy, and nothing on the show (as far as I’m concerned) has been more edgy than the Mel Gibson apology satire. The Family Guy creators created this mock-apology to laugh at Hollywood’s constant production [...]

When Steve Jobs announced, at the September 5th Apple media event, that Apple was cutting $200 off the price of the iPhone, many a cheer was heard across the US. However, almost as resounding were the jeers of early iPhone adopters who had essentially paid $200 for the privilege of owning an iPhone for two months or less. Though penalizing early adopters financially isn't a foreign concept to Apple, and is in fact a reality that many Mac faithfuls accept, the magnitude of this scenario exceeded anything seen before by Apple customers. As a result, countless emails and complaints were reportedly received by Apple by customers who had purchased the iPhone previous to the price reduction. In an open letter, published on the Apple website, Steve Jobs has offered an apology to the community. In the letter, he states I am sure that we are making the correct decision to lower the price of the 8GB iPhone from $599 to $399, and that now is the right time to do it. iPhone is a breakthrough pro

Update: We did an emergency patch to our code to search for only Creative Commons licensed Flickr images and to attribute the flickr user of the image selected. We’re still looking into how we can insert an attribution in the Myspace profile itself (this will take more time). === We’ve gotten several messages that our CoolChaser tool is enabling the copyright violation of Flickr users. I now realize that we could have coded our tool to more specifically list only images of Flickr users that allow sharing and to properly attribute such users. This was on my todo list and I apologize for not implementing it sooner. I appreciate that some Flickr users have chosen the Creative Commons license to share their photos to varying degrees, and that Flickr actually does allow us to filter for only such photos. Thanks for bringing this issue to my attention. Rest assured this matter has my highest attention now, and we’re looking to fixing this in the next few days. We’re l

Michael Vick apologized to the NFL and the Atlanta Falcons on Monday for “using bad judgment and making bad decisions” and vowed to redeem himself after pleading guilty to a dogfighting charge. He could be sent to prison for one to five years and was suspended indefinitely by the NFL last week. According to Falcons they would not cut Vick immediately because of salary-cap issues. The team intends to pursue the $22 million in bonus money that he already received in a $130 million contract signed in 2004.

I am so sorry that I haven't posted for this weekend. You may wonder I have enjoyed a good weekend and so I didn't have time to publish any post. That's not the fact at all. As some of my readers may remember, I have graduated from my master degree, and need to find a permanent job as soon as possible. The culture in Hong Kong is unique, we need to hurry to find a job once you are graduated, or otherwise all the good jobs will be gone and be occupied by other capable persons. This is something different from other places like UK or US, where the graduates there normally choose to have a vacation first, and then come back and start to hunt a job.Hong Kong is Hong Kong. I have been interviewed several times in the last week, mainly in the planning field. Finally, I get offers from both the Planning Department from the Hong Kong Government and the private consultant firm. Here's come to another problem, which one should I choose?

KUALA LUMPUR: The Cabinet has not accepted student Wee Meng Chee’s apology for the furore caused by his Negaraku rap videoclip on video-sharing web portal YouTube.Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz said the Cabinet had decided yesterday that they were not in the position to forgive him and that “the law would have to take its course”.“The offence was not against the Prime Minister or ministers concerned but against the nation,” Nazri told reporters after the launch of the International Conference on Media and Information Warfare: A Global Challenge of the 21st Century here.“If he had committed an offence, which I think was an offence, then we must allow the Attorney General to investigate and decide whether to take him to court,” he said.Wee had on Tuesday apologised for the parody and agreed to remove the videoclip from his blog.Nazri said Wee’s apology could be used as mitigation in sentencing but not as a reason to not p

A lot of Malaysians cried out anywhere from ‘Alamakkk…’, ‘Aiyaaa…’ and ‘Ayoooyooo…’ when they learnt that the Malaysian Cabinet has rejected Wee Meng Chee’s apology for the unnecessary fuss that he has made with this ‘Negarakuku’ YouTube video.Yes, even I was surprised to hear that they have rejected his apology. Everyone thought that this matter would be resolved amicably after Wee Meng Chee tendered his apology to all Malaysians last few days.I met a few friends of mine earlier today and many were toying with the idea that the government is perhaps taking a little advantage from this fiasco. In the light of the current ongoing war of words between some government officials and some of our local political bloggers, they are perhaps going to use Wee Meng Chee’s case to their advantage. Let’s just say that they are going to flex some muscles and show ‘who the real boss is’ to everybody. How much this is true remains to be seen. It is just hearsay, coming

An unexpected event took place at the 10th rajeev gandhi awards function At the 10th Rajiv Gandhi Awards function held at the Jamshed Bhabha Theatre, NCPA.Vivek oberai who had to perform a dance number before the award to be given to Salman khan, Vivek did something that shocked everyone present there.when on his way out, he stopped before Salman (seated on the front row) and suddenly, without warning, put his hands together and bowed before him.But salman khan wasn't in the mood to forgive Vivek as he shook his head, and latter Shilpa shetty who also for some strange reason that only our government knows won the award for best actress requested Salman khan to forgive Vivek.As I said earlier I don't think Salman khan is a kind of guy who would forgive people just like that When MiD-DAY called Salman and narrated the incident, the actor refused to acknowldege Vivek’s identity. “Who are you talking about?” When we said Vivek, he said, “Vivek who?” Naturally, we said, Vivek Ob

So I had all sorts of brilliant plans for what I was going to do this afternoon, including sorting, photographing, and sharing the fabric and goodies I acquired from that house last week. And maybe posting some pics from the shoot we did on Sunday. And showing you the awesome turban I picked up at the vintage store. Alas, I think I'm coming down with something: the headache, sore throat, and chills seem to indicate that. So maybe I'll convince le sister to pick up SATC season 5, and we'll watch that ALL EVENING. Lovely, eh?BTW: here is the link. It's an ezine, and it has some seriously gorgeous photography. Also, if you're into fashion and you don't read the coveted (that would describe me up until yesterday) you're missing out. I love her style and inspiration.

It's one of Bollywood's oldest mantras – let bygones be bygones. And on Sunday, actor Vivek Oberoi decided to do just that, when he made an impromptu gesture of seeking forgiveness from actor Salman Khan. But it seems it didn't work!When Salman Khan and Vivek Oberoi come face to face, things are bound to happen and that's exactly what happened at the tenth Rajiv Gandhi Awards function. According to sources, after Vivek finished performing item-numbers, he folded his hands and bowed before Salman as a sort of apology.The two actors have a history of not getting along, due to the presence of Aishwarya Rai in both their lives then. Vivek was a beginner in the film industry at the time and it seems his impulsiveness got him into a big mess.At the time Vivek called a public press conference and claimed that drunken Salman had hounded him with 41 abusive calls. Since then though a lot of water has passed under that bridge and the lady who was the bone of contention between the two has

Hardbeatnews, NEW YORK, NY, Thurs. Aug. 9, 2007: Senegalese-raised singer Akon’s latest song, ‘Sorry, Blame It On Me,’ has yet to be officially released but it is riding pretty high on the charts.
