Obama Deception, a must see!!

Written, produced and directed by Alex Jones, this documentary film, although tagged  as “The Obama Deception”,  really doesn’t take shots at Obama and mainly focuses on the true entities behind the political figureheads who we think are directing the American nation.

Strong contents and words, but this film is said to be a reality check and candidly tries to establish that  Obama phenomenon is nothing but a hoax. It also uncovers who he works for and the lies he is telling the public. This piece of work is well worth seeing as this tries to shed the light on the dark side of the American dream.

The Boss [1930-2010]

July 14th, 2010

The BossGeorge Michael Steinbrenner III (July 4, 1930 – July 13, 2010) was the principal owner and the managing partner of Major League Baseball’s New York Yankees.

His leadership and his role in his team made him one of baseball’s most controversial executive. Being known to many as a hands-on figure, he earned the nickname “The Boss.” His tendency to meddle in daily on-field decisions, and to hire and fire managers led then- Yankees skipper Dallas Green to give him the derisive nickname “Manager George.”

During Steinbrenner’s ownership from 1973 to his death, the longest in club history, the Yankees earned 11 pennants and 7 World Series titles.

He died after suffering a heart attack in his Tampa home on the morning of July 13, 2010, day of the 81st All-Star Game.

Ortiz vs RamirezCompeting in his fourth Home Run Derby as part of the All-Star festivities, Boston Red Sox’s hitter David Ortiz, and finally took home the big prize Monday, out slugging Florida Marlins’ shortstop Hanley Ramirez in the final, 11-5.

“It was a lot of fun,” said Ramirez, who slugged 26 homers in all and became the first Marlins player to reach the final of the derby.

“He’s like my dad. We always hung out when I was in Boston. I used to go to his house, like a son and father. I have a lot of respect for him. For me, it was a little hard to compete against him. We just pulled for each other. He has a good heart. He’s one of the best guys I’ve met in my life.”

Ramirez, the reigning National League batting champion, matched Ortiz for the first two rounds with 21 homers before he said he “ran out of gas” in the final. Ortiz had participated in the Home Run Derby three previous times, but never had won. It was Ramirez’s first derby.

Is the deal worth it?

Joshua (“Josh“) Malik Childress (born June 20, 1983 in Harbor City, California) is an American professional basketball player.

NBA

During the 2004-05 NBA season, Childress emerged as one of two proJosh Childressmising rookie talents for the Atlanta Hawks, along with Josh Smith; as the season went on, the two showed improved play, minutes, and production. Childress ranked third among rookies in double-doubles in the 2004-05 season, behind only Emeka Okafor and Dwight Howard. He was also voted to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team.

Reportedly, The Phoenix Suns, which lost Amare to Knicks, have acquired Josh through a sign-and-trade deal with the Hawks, who get back a second-round pick in 2012. The deal is worth at least $30 million over five years.

During his four seasons in Atlanta, Childress averaged 11.1 points, shooting 52 percent from the field and 36 percent from beyond the arc.

With Steve Nash still at the helm, it is still one heck of a ball club. Josh should be a great addition to the Suns’ run and gun attack.
