Michael Jackson - dead at 50

Written by Black Entertainment USA
I am really shocked. This was news that was completely unexpected. Michael Jackson died today at 6:15 EST from a heart attack. He was just 50 years old.
I saw earlier today when news came out that Jackson was being brought to a hospital. Reports at the time said he was not [...]

Jon & Kate Plus 8 – the show must go on

Written by Black Entertainment USA
Actually it shouldn’t. I have been disgusted with the tabloid coverage of this couple. The media frenzy over their marital difficulties was abominable. And it all culminated with the show this evening.
After the endless speculation and paparazzi attempts to confirm the worst of thoughts, Jon and Kate Gosselin have publicly declared [...]

California: home of towns that are an insult to the U.S. military

Written by Michael Vass
The more I hear of the laws and issues promoted in towns across California, the more I wonder what happened to their gene pool out there. Actually that might not be fair, as Southern California seems to have its head on its shoulders as opposed to stuck up an orifice, most of [...]

I remember the words of Vice-President Biden

Written by Michael Vass
Do you recall what Vice-President Biden said back on the campaign trail? It was October 2008. And he asked every American to mark his words. I did.
“Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about [...]

text messaging - the sport ESPN won’t cover

Written by Black Entertainment USA
It’s official now. The world is going to hell in a hand basket.
Why? When there are competitions, equating a form of athleticism to sending a text message well then the future is just all over. Seriously, there was a competition for the fastest, and most accurate, text messager.
Obviously this was [...]

Should David Letterman be fired?

Written by Black Entertainment USA
When I first wrote about the inexcusable comment that David Letterman made about the daughters of Gov. Sarah Palin, I was firmly entrenched in the thought that it was political. And an insult to all women. It was more than just a “bad joke”.
To say it was merely a bad joke [...]

Captain America returns!

Written by Black Entertainment USA
When I was growing up, there were a few things that you could always count on. Death, taxes, the fact that every President was a descendant of a European, the only time you would hear about Black history was in February – and that was mostly just Dr. Martin Luther King, [...]

President Obama apparently protects supporter, fires Inspector General

Written by Michael Vass
Let’s say that a President was elected with a majority of votes. Let’s say that this President has a number of supporters, some of whom run organizations that receive money from the U.S. Government. Let’s say that one of those supporters got into trouble with their business, due to an appointee that [...]

David Letterman, Judge Sotomayor, Speaker Pelosi - all examples of liberal bias

Written by Michael Vass
You know, I find it interesting how liberals get away with outrageous comments. The media just ignores any comment by a liberal entertainer/celebrity/commentator/politician, no matter how insulting or rude. But dare a Conservative or Republican say an even questionable remark – well the floodgates just get sent wide open.
Obviously there are the [...]

Lollipipe candy: Introducing kids to drugs

Written by Black Entertainment USA
Of the many products I have seen over the years, I have run into few that are as exploitative and potentially dangerous as the Lollipipe. And when I say dangerous, I mean promoting drug use in minors. When I say exploitative, well just read on.

The Lollipipe is the invention of Kzee [...]

Will there ever be justice for Oscar Grant?

Written by Black Entertainment USA
Oh my god. Could it actually be that Justice will be served in a case where a police officer shot, and killed, and unarmed young Black male?
The end of the preliminary trial for ex-BART officer Johannes Mehserle has ended in Oakland, still without the media coverage that such a case deserves [...]

Gambling - New York State’s answer to fiscal irresponsibility

Written by Michael Vass
There are a few things you can always count on in life as I have observed. The Government always gets bigger over time. People always drink when the economy is good, and 2x as much when it is bad. And any sales pitch offering free money will make the salesman rich.
Taking the [...]
