Larry Fitzgerald Restraining Order
Written by Jay on January 4, 2009 – -It looks like Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald has a restraining order to stay away from both his baby’s mama as well as his own son.
The Arizona Cardinals might be celebrating its first home playoff victory from yesterday but Larry Fitzgerald doesn’t have much celebrating to do off the field after an alleged domestic disturbance. It was said that both Fitzgerald and the woman got into a serious argument, she hit him and he retaliated by throwing her across the room as well as pulling out some of her hair.
I don’t know if her hair was fake or not but if it was real, "ouch!"
Anyways, he’s been ordered to stay away from her as well as his 11-month-old son until everything gets straightened out.
More to come on Larry Fitzgerald restraining order… stay tuned!

Unemployment Rate Highest Since ’86
Written by Jay on June 7, 2008 – -
If you’re worried about job security, I don’t think you should continue reading. Well, actually, you should because everyone who will need a job, have a job could well be out of a job soon!
In the month of May, Beyonce, Alicia Keys or Jay-Z tickets aren’t the hottest tickets around. It seems pink slips have been given out to quite a large crowd. Matter of fact, it was given out to so many people that 49,000 jobs were eliminated in the month of May, which is a 5.5 percent increase from the previous month.
So, yes, the nation’s unemployment rate skyrocketed 5.5 percent in the biggest one-month jump in over 20 years.
To make matters worse, oil prices claimed to a record high and it doesn’t seem like it’s going down anytime soon. In addition, if you’re getting paid in dollars, that’s not necessarily a good thing as the value of the dollar has fell even more.
Of course, we can blame the President and the government. Yeah, they might seem like they’re going out to try to do something but honestly, they should have been doing that a quite sometime ago.
According to Friday’s Labor Department report:
- Employers eliminated 49,000 jobs in May
- The number of unemployed people grew by 861,000 and now sits at 8.5 million
- Job losses this year alone has reached 324,000
What’s going on with the United States of America? The economy is raising… the gas prices are soaring… food prices will take a giant leap in cost… tons of people are getting laid off and unemployed… and the dollar value is dropping.
This is what happens when you vote for an idiot for president… TWICE!

Congratulations to Obama for Clinching Democratic Nomination
Written by Jay on June 4, 2008 – -
Senator Barack Obama claimed the Democratic Presidential nomination last night after a very hard fought battle with Senator Hilary Clinton. Of course, either way this will go down in history as Obama became the first black candidate to lead a major party’s presidential nomination.
Personally, I didn’t get a chance to watch his victory speech but I heard it was a very powerful speech. I may youtube later… though, I read that before he commits his energy to the presumptive Republican nomiee John McCain, he first needs to do some work in unifying the Democratic party.
I believe I read that there were quite a number of Clinton supporters that would rather vote for McCain or not vote at all in November. I think that’s another reason why Clinton should run with Obama.
I mean, speculations show that Clinton and Obama need each other to help win for the Democratic party. But we shouldn’t jump the gun just yet until they make it official… if that happens.
