Heleer!I just wrapped another movie. Cha-Ching!

Tyler Perry has the Midas-touch. I believe he’s anointed regardless of what his critics say.

Those in Hollywood just won’t allow themselves to believe it.

While Hollywood spends hundreds of millions of dollars making movies, Tyler makes them on half of that budget and in less time.

The man is a spiritual, refined and meticulous person who is able to rally his cast and crew and make them be of “one accord,” so that they are comfortable with each other.

His formula has always been like this, since he was producing his plays on the “Chitlin Circuit.”

That is why he continues going to the bank.

“Cha-ching.”

Tyler Perry’s next movie, I Can Do Bad All By Myself comes out Friday (Sept. 11).

President Obama has been under a lot of pressure from vociferous right-wing pundits including Glen Beck and Bill O’Reilly. Beck even lost advertisers after calling Obama a racist.

During her confirmation hearing, Judge Sonia Sotomayor didn’t do much in my opinion. I think that frustrated the senators at her confirmation. All she said repeatedly was that she regretted her comment that a Latina lady would’ve made a quicker decision than a white male justice. Because of that comment,to protect her slip of the tongue she just would say she wasn’t aware of certain state-laws that were proposed to her as examples to rule on by senators.

From Reuters:

Republicans are expected to vote overwhelmingly against Judge Sonia Sotomayor in the Supreme Court confirmation vote set for Thursday with an eye toward a potential next pick from President Barack Obama, according to party lawmakers and strategists.

Republicans say the show of party unity will discourage Mr. Obama from choosing a more liberal candidate in future picks and that the arguments they developed against Judge Sotomayor set a precedent for rejecting what they see as "activist" judges.

As the White House pushes for a new healthcare plan U.S., lawmakers in the U.S. Congress are under increased pressure—to actually read the bill. With the economic bailout bill, many in Congress signed off without actually reading the document, which some have said they now regret. The bill which pushes 1000 pages aims to revamp the U.S.’s existing system.

Wikipedia-On July 4, 2009, the bodies of Steve McNair and Sahel Kazemi were found in McNair’s home in Nashville; both bodies had gunshot wounds. On July 8, 2009, the Nashville-Davidson County assistant medical examiner announced that traces of gun powder residue were found on the hands of Kazemi and confirmed that their deaths were the result of a murder-suicide, with McNair being the murder victim.

Sarah Palin, former Republican vice presidential candidate and governor of Alaska, stunned everyone, including those in her party when she announced  July 3 that she was stepping down as governor of Alaska. Palin has not publicly stated why she did so, though those supposedly on the inside claim her reasoning to be everything from a potential presidential bid in 2012 to money.

June 25, 2009-(New York Times)- LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Ken Pagano, the pastor of the New Bethel Church here, is passionate about gun rights. He shoots regularly at the local firing range, and his sermon two weeks ago was on “God, Guns, Gospel and Geometry.” And on Saturday night, he is inviting his congregation of 150 and others to wear or carry their firearms into the sanctuary to “celebrate our rights as Americans!” as a promotional flier for the “open carry celebration” puts it.

“God and guns were part of the foundation of this country,” Mr. Pagano, 49, said Wednesday in the small brick Assembly of God church, where a large wooden cross hung over the altar and two American flags jutted from side walls. “I don’t see any contradiction in this. Not every Christian denomination is pacifist.”

The bring-your-gun-to-church day, which will include a $1 raffle of a handgun, firearms safety lessons and a picnic, is another sign that the gun culture in the United States is thriving despite, or perhaps because of, President Obama’s election in November.

Christian politicians Sen. David Vitter, Sen. John Ensign and Gov. Mark Sanford, who have at various times opposed President Obama’s policies, calling them anti-marriage, have all had to face the music lately for adultery. Vitter, reportedly visited prostitutes on numerous occasions. Ensign admitted to having an affair with a campaign staffer, and was once active in the Christian ministry, Promise Keepers. Sanford, who had an affair with an Argentinean woman, likened himself to King David—as if that makes adultery okay.

Interestingly, even though these men threw stones at Obama, he didn’t throw any at them about their infidelity.
