The Lee Murray MMA Heist Story

A little while back, DevX wrote a Guest Manifesto: ENTER ACTION WITH BOLDNESS, that featured Street Hood turned MMA Fighter turned Superstar Heistman Lee Murray.

Here are two videos of the story:

Ashley Alexandra Dupré 2008’s Woman of The Year?

Ashley Alexandra Dupré 2008’s Woman of The Year?

My friend just sent me this article:

The Lady at the center of the salacious scandal that brought down former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer and generated national headlines is going to dish on her life as a pricey escort. ABC says Ashley Alexandra Dupre sat down with Diane Sawyer on the program “20/20.”

Dupre reveals how an “upper middle-class, girl next door got into the profession and the psychological journey she continues to experience.”

Spitzer resigned March 12 after it was disclosed he had used Emperors Club VIP. Dupre worked for the escort service.

On Thursday, federal prosecutors said they wouldn’t bring criminal charges against Spitzer, marking the end of the saga.

Four people pleaded guilty to running the prostitution operation.

The show will air Friday at 10 p.m.

I was just talking about this girl and Spitzer the other day. We were talking about how amazing it is that Ashley Alexandra Dupré has not said one word to the press since Eliot Spitzer went down. Especially in this day of media whores (so to speak).

Because of her show of class of keeping her mouth shut (and the fact that it is so incredibly rare for a young lady these days to avoid media exposure), I was thinking of naming her the first G Manifesto’s Woman of the Year at the annual G Manifesto Awards. (Click here for The G Manifesto Awards, The Best of 2007).

But now her chances look bleak.

And I don’t mean Memphis Bleek either.

Freddie Roach disses ‘TWIGGY’ Oscar De La Hoya

Freddie Roach disses ‘TWIGGY’ Oscar De La Hoya

Manny Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach has poured more scorn on Oscar De La Hoya three weeks ahead of the ‘Dream Match’ in Las Vegas.

Roach, who worked with De La Hoya for his fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr in 2007, has ridiculed the boxer’s appearance.

De La Hoya must slim down to 147 pounds for the fight with Pacquiao and will skip the traditional turkey dinner on Thanksgiving Day as a result.

He is pleased with his progress in the battle with the scales but Roach said: “I’m glad to hear that Oscar’s diet has made him skinny.

“The photos of him at his media day have him looking like boxing’s version of Twiggy! If Oscar thinks he has it tough skipping Thanksgiving to train for this fight, wait until Manny cooks his golden goose on December 6!

“Manny’s recipe for success will have Oscar plucked and roasted within nine rounds.”

De La Hoya remains a hot favourite to win the fight and is an 8-11 chance with Sky Bet.

Freddie Roach lands a zinger.

Not sure who I am picking in this one yet, but if Roach keeps this up, I might have to side with The Wild Card Boxing Club.

Hell, I used to spar at The Wild Card, before it was The Wild Card.

Peter Schiff: The Humpty Dumpty Economy

» 17 November 2008 » In Style » 2 Comments

Peter Schiff: The Humpty Dumpty Economy

Before the current economic crisis became apparent to all, the most popular fable used to describe America’s uncanny economic resiliency was the story of Goldilocks. It was argued that our economy was skipping down a sunny path of moderate growth, low inflation and rising asset prices. However, a much better parable for our economy over the last decade would have been the story of Humpty Dumpty: a bloated, fragile shell perched on the top of a dangerously high stone wall. This week, all the government’s horses and all of its men scrambled to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. Here is a look at some of this week’s highlights:

The Mother of all Moral Hazards

No doubt prodded by the administration, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac announced a new attempt to stop the fall in home prices and foreclosures through a loan modification program that would cap mortgage payments so that a homeowner’s total housing expenses would not exceed 38% of household income for home owners who are 90 days delinquent.

In a classic case of unintended consequences, the plan will encourage a massive new round of delinquencies and household income reduction as homeowners will jump through hoops to qualify for the program and maximize their benefit. Those who could conceivably economize to meet their existing obligations will now have a strong reason to forego such sacrifices. Those who are not 90 days past due will intentionally become so. In many cases, dual income families may decide to eliminate one job altogether as reduced mortgage payments combined with lower child care and other work related expenses will likely exceed the after-tax value of the lost paycheck.

Unfortunately, the last thing our economy needs is falling household incomes and even more bad debt. But that is precisely what this plan will give us.
