WOW! Bet no one saw this shyt coming. Well if yall didn’t know Washington Mutal, one of the largest lenders in the world, has been sold by the goverment to  JP Morgan Chase.

In what is by far the largest bank failure in U.S. history, federal regulators seized Washington Mutual Inc. late Thursday and struck a deal to sell the bulk of its operations to J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.

On Friday, most financial stocks and the broader market slid as investors digested the WaMu news and the wrangling in Washington over a bailout plan. The financial sector was the second-worst performing part of the S&P 500 behind energy stocks, falling 4.1%. Wachovia, which like WaMu has a troubled mortgage portfolio and faces an uncertain, saw its shares fall 28%, while National City tumbled 41%.

Also Friday, J.P. Morgan priced the capital raising related to its WaMu deal and said it will sell $10 billion in stock — $2 billion more than expected. The public offering is for 246.9 million shares of its common stock at $40.50 a share, a 6.8% discount to its closing price Thursday.

J.P. Morgan Chase shares recently traded up 1.9% to $44.27, after falling 6.9% at one point.(Source)

Or at least that is what i am thinking this mother was going for when she stole her child’s identity!

 According to the SFGate, ”A 33-year-old woman stole her daughter’s identity to attend high school and join the cheerleading squad, according to a criminal complaint filed against the woman.

Wendy Brown, of Green Bay, faces a felony identity theft charge after enrolling in Ashwaubenon High School as her 15-year-old daughter, who lives in Nevada with Brown’s mother.”

Ok here is my commentary on this and what i personally believe about this situation. Something is really wrong with this woman and she needs to seek help. When a 33 year old woman wants to relive her teen years by stealing not someone else’s identity BUT HER OWN CHILD’S IDENTITY, that person needs to seek help ASAP.

There are so many ways they could lock her up for this. They could go even as far to say that she had pedophilic tendencies and had intentions on seducing teenage boys half her age.

Yea the courts could really run with this one. I really hope this lady got whatever it was out of her system because she may be facing up to six years in prison for pulling a stunt like this.

What does this have to do with the topic of the day you may ask? Well here is my question to you fellow bloggers.  What kind of punishment do you believe that this woman should recieve, that is assuming that you believe that she should be punished for this at all? Why or why not?

It never ceases to amaze me how parents always find some kind of way to blame the behavior of their children on someone else. Where did this sudden urge to talk about this come from? Well from the fact that America Ferrera said that and i quote ” The Hills and Gossip Girls are mean spirited shows.”

Now i guarantee you that if i took a survey to see how many parents believe that these shows are the reasons that they children act in sexually irresponsible ways and believe that they should live their life according to American TV standards.

Want me to hit you with some reality? The problem is not what the child thinks, the problem is what the parents allow their childrens’ minds to be not only consumed with but influenced by. Children , esp. teenagers, only act on by what they are influenced to do. They don’t just come out of thin air and decide that they are going to try and be the “sexist kid in school” or just out the blue try to achieve “varsity status” so they can be popular. So my question to you is this my fellow bloggers.

Can you honestly blame Mass Media for the misguided behavoir of teenagers today or is it safe to say that parents’ should get a better hold on their kids?

Please discuss and let me know what you think

Opinions on this please!

A man who says he bought moldy cookies in the King County Jail is suing the county for pain, suffering and emotional distress.

The 41-year-old man, Moses Wiggins, says he didn’t notice the mold until he had eaten half a bag of cookies. He spent several days vomiting while suffering diarrhea and stomach cramps.

The incident happened last year at the jail in Kent. He’s currently in the Stafford Creek prison near Aberdeen serving time for a theft conviction.   Source.

Ok yall have to talk about this one for my sake. Personally here is what I think.

#1. Fool you ain’t at the damn Hampton’s. YOU IN JAIL. What the hell kind of of upty ass prisoner is this?! They feed you slop, throw you in a cold cell and you want to complain about somebody giving you a moldy cookie? You have to be kidding me.

#2. The judge that takes this case seriously just needs to step down from the bench because there is no way you can take this serious. This is a convict suing the county and the jail for not “rendering food services” correctly.

#3. This is not a joke. This seriously is happening.
