Basketball star Allen Iverson has reportedly just confessed to charges of beating and threatening to kill his girlfriend, according to Philadelphia District Attorney Lynne Abraham, and will be taken to trial "as soon as possible".

The Philly D.A.'s office also once charged Don Adams with assaulting the fists of Teamsters with his face. Unfortunately, that was no satire...

Hopefully, Iverson will be returned to the place he
belongs--prison.

Then VA governor Douglas Wilder pardoned Iverson
back in the mid 90s following his incarceration
for maiming a teenager in a VA Beach parking lot.
Or maybe it was a Norfolk parking lot.

Language, someone said, is a dialect with an army and navy.

The so-called double negative is a common and natural grammatical form (in French, ne {verb} pas, for example).

The Philadelphia DA's office needs to hire Barbara Billingsley, the "rap translator" from the movie Airplane to assist in interrogations.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.
