the real deal with celeb's and charity(and some stuff on the war and our prez)
This blog touches on a few things. Some crazy stuff is in this one, but everyone can find something they would like to know. So here goes it, over the past 3 years over 800,000 people have been charged by Homeland Security in immigration courts for overstaying their visas to national security violations. 12 of those people have actually been charged with crimes relating to terrorism. 12 people have been killed by sharks since 1990 in the US. 16 people died from falling into holes dug in the sand. Beware those sharks and sink holes folks..they'll get ya.
Next up, celebrities who "contribute" to charity, Here are some things that well known celebrities have demanded to have and be paid in order to show up for a charity event. In 2001 Marc Anthony demanded $50,000 to appear at a Heart Fund benefit. Dana Carvey appeared in his place-for free. Ray Charles recieved $75,000 to sing four songs in 2002 for a gala to raise money for developmentally disabled kids. Michael Jackson said in 2006 he planned to keep the publishing rights and the royalties for a never released song for charity dedicated to 9/11. Paris Hilton was paid $200,000 to attend a Caines event last year. "All i had to do was wave," she said. When J-Lo agreed to be in the video "Whats goin on," to raise money for Aids and the United Way, she demanded Evian at room temp, 9 varieties of fruit and a room decked out in white(drapes, couch, flowers, candles, tables). This past April Snoop Dogg was paid $150,000 to perform at a concert for UNICEF for kids in poverty, he almost cancelled when he found out he didnt have an Xbox in his dressing room. This is the crazy type of shit these overpaid motherfuckers think they can get away with. Ill let you decide for yourself.
Now on G.W. Bush, do i like the man? No. Do I hate the man? No. But just read some of his statements over the years.
Sep 2002, "Saddam's regime is a grave and gathering danger, we cannot stand by and do nothing while dangers gather."
Oct. 2002 "Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof, the smoking gun that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud...some worry that a change in leadership in Iraq could create instability and make the situation worse." (ya think?)
May 2003, " Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the US and our allies have prevailed..the tyrant has fallen and Iraq is free." (coulda fooled me)
Dec 2004 "...Coalition forces will continue to training Iraqi security forces so the Iraqi people can take responsibility for their own security."
March 2006 " Ultimately, the Iraqis are going to have to determine their future. And these troops are going to have to stand up and defend their democracy. When they stand up, we stand down."
Jan 10, 2007 " The situation in Iraq is unacceptable to the American people...and it is not acceptable to me...even if our new strategy works as planned, deadly acts of violence will continue and we must expect more Iraqi and Amierican casualties."
Jan 23, 2007 " Everyone of us wishes this war were over and won. Yet it would not be like us to leave our promises unkept and our friends abandoned."
Sep 2007 To the Aussie Prime Minister about Iraq, "We're kicking ass."
Nuff said.
