The Nappy Cat Chronicles

Joe Galloway is packing things up from his column at McClatchy Newspapers.

Good news (! or ?)  We just got one step closer to combat-cyborgs.

A blue-ribbon committee of the National Academy of Sciences is recommending that the Army expand its research into how a soldier’s brain, blood and nerves work so it can develop futuristic applications that can increase performance and survivability in combat.

So, according to reports, Kevin was a pastor. According to his website, he was a pastor who did “much prayer and fasting”:

He was also a bishop (were his victims his pawns?):

His church was called the Greater Faith Tabernacle Church of Deliverance. Incidentally, he came up with the whole church idea after “much prayer and fasting”:

The building required a large renovation that, I’m positive, required “much prayer and fasting”:

Kevin reminds me of Eli, the preacher from There Will Be Blood:

In the final scene, Eli is beaten to death by crazy man with a bowling pin. I’m not advocating that that be done to Kevin, though, I don’t think that prison will be too kind to him.

Pushia, 32, was arrested last week after police said he confessed to having Lemuel Wallace — a blind, disabled man who’d been under his care — shot and killed in February. Wallace’s body was found in a restroom in Leakin Park.

I knew Kevin from the field. Reading the articles, it seems like he owed a lot of money to a lot of people as the developmental disabilities field doesn’t pay well enough to own “several properties”. How he tried to pay his debt is completely fucked.

CNN has a sad story about Christopher Lloyd’s home being destroyed by the Southern California wildfires. It’s sad because Christopher Lloyd is one celebrity to whom you can’t possibly want bad things to happen.

For your enjoyment, four great CNN articles:

• Is it Time to Invade Burma? (Link)

  

  (This kid is like “Call me!” not “Invade me!”)

• Report: Fired admiral had sex at White House (Link)

  

  (From the article: “[T]he supervisor told her that ‘everybody in town knew Boomer was f’ing some bimbo[.]‘”)

• Rapper DMX faces animal cruelty, drug charges (Link)

  

  (And this is when you realize that Mr. “‘Cuz I’m tired of runnin’, remember me as the nigga that died gunnin’. Kamakaze mission, C-4 strapped to the chest. Run up in that joint, raw dog, fuck the vest.” is a washed up drug using animal abuser and that thug-rap is a silly commercial for baggy clothes.)

• Judge allegedly napped, made bailiff rub her back (Link)

  

  (From the article: “A shirtless man who answered the door at her home pointed to a “no trespassing” sign and ordered a reporter off the property…She has submitted a report from a therapist who diagnosed her with an adjustment disorder, anxiety and depression. And she produced a letter from her physician, Dr. Michael Jacobs, who said she is diabetic, uses a wheelchair because of arthritis in her feet and knees, and needs oxygen to counteract the effects of sleep apnea.”)

This story is important for three reasons. First, it answers the question that everyone has been asking me for some reason. That question is, “Is Montel Williams still alive?” Second, it lets us know what he’s been up to recently:

Montel Williams showed up in Savannah, Georgia Friday to promote the drug industry’s program to help people afford prescription drugs. By the time he left town, the talk show host had threatened to “blow up” some local reporters, according to the Savannah Morning News.The threat was apparently triggered by the following question, posed by a high school intern working as a reporter: “Do you think pharmaceutical companies would be discouraged from research and development if their profits were restricted?”

Williams, who has multiple sclerosis and is a paid spokesman for the industry’s Partnership for Prescription Assistance, abruptly ended the interview shortly after that question was asked. Later in the day, the reporter went to a local hotel to do a feature on gingerbread houses displayed there. Williams, who was at the hotel for a separate event, believed they had followed him there.

And finally, it reminds us all that Montel is still dangerous after all these years of fame:

According to the reporter and two of her colleagues, Williams approached them and said, “Don’t look at me like that. Do you know who I am? I’m a big star, and I can look you up, find where you live and blow you up.”

Williams has since issued an apology and offered to apologize to the young reporter during a taping of his show. Ken Johnson, an SVP at the industry trade group PhRMA told the paper it was a “regrettable incident.” Johnson noted that Williams suffers a great deal from MS, but added that “even on bad days bad behavior is not acceptable.”

Complete and total badass. Really though, I’m just using this as an appropriate excuse to post Talking Heads – Psycho Killer. Is there a better theme song for a lanky and socially awkward gangsta? I think not.
