Question of the Day: Just how ballistic will Lynne Sin go after reading Keef's Led Zeppelin remarks?

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/keith-richards-on-getting-busted-zeppelin-and-stones-future-20151008?page=6



Rolling Stone: I was never a big Zeppelin guy.

Keith Richards: Me neither. I love Jimmy Page, but as a band, no, with John Bonham thundering down the highway in an uncontrolled 18-wheeler. He had cornered the market there. Jimmy is a brilliant player. But I always felt there was something a little hollow about it, you know?

Rolling Stone: Robert Plant's voice never really appealed to me.

Keith Richards: No, I think he's doing better stuff now — he did that that thing with what's her name?

Rolling Stone: Alison Krauss, yeah.

Keith Richards: I heard that and thought, "Finally, he's getting his chops!" But no.

Wiz Khalifa busted for public urination in Pittsburgh

www.nola.com/celebrities/index.ssf/2015/10/rapper_wiz_khalifa_busted_for.html

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh police say rapper Wiz Khalifa has been cited for urinating in public.

The incident happened at about 2:30 a.m. Saturday behind a bar called The Flats on Pittsburgh's South Side, city public safety spokeswoman Sonya Toler said.

Khalifa, whose real name is Cameron Jibril Thomaz, is a graduate of Pittsburgh's Allderdice High School and keeps a home in suburban Canonsburg. He was in town to perform during Pitt's Midnight Madness basketball season kickoff Friday night.

Representatives for Khalifa, who is known for hits such as "Black and Yellow" and "See You Again," did not immediately return phone and email messages late Saturday from The Associated Press seeking comment on the citation, which is basically a ticket.

DELIGHTFUL! Eddie Munster is "taking Packers weekend to consider" becoming Boehner's replacement.

Sources: Ryan taking Packers weekend to consider pleas to take the field for speakership race

Republicans knew at the Friday morning huddle there was but one House GOPer capable of filling the void: House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis.

But there’s trouble with Ryan. If you look at his history, Bryce Harper and Jonathan Papelbon stand a better chance of going to dinner together than Ryan seeking a congressional leadership post.

Ryan is the same lawmaker who some courted to run against Boehner for minority leader in 2008, after Democrats handed the GOP their heads at the polls that fall.

He’s the same congressman who took a pass at running for president, governor, senator and even majority leader after the unexpected primary loss of then-Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va. -- to say nothing of speaker after Boehner announced his departure a few weeks ago.

Mrs. Orange County 2014 arrested on child porn charges



http://www.ktnv.com/now-trending/beauty-queen-mom-accused-of-making-selling-child-porn-busted-in-san-diego

SAN DIEGO -- A beauty queen and a Mormon married mother of three was arrested on charges of child pornography Wednesday in San Diego.

Twenty-five-year-old Meghan Alt of Irvine was taken into custody by the Orange County Child Exploitation Task Force Wednesday after being stopped on State Route 163. Alt won the Mrs. Orange County 2014 beauty contest. “She admitted to a lot of the criminal allegations that were being made,” Orange County Sheriff’s Department Lt. Jeff Hallock said.

Alt was under investigation by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) for taking pictures of a four-year-old child, who is related to her, and selling them online to a Marine from Southern California, Hallock said.

“As a member of the Mormon church, she did some volunteering at the church where she had responsibilities for caring for young children at times,” Hallock said. “That has concerned investigators and created the possibility that there may be some additional victims out there.”

Justin Bieber's dad is proud of his son for uploading photos of his tiny little Bieber penis.

Justin Bieber's dad is apparently pretty happy with his son's anatomy.

After nude pictures of Justin were published Wednesday -- which were taken while the 21-year-old pop star was on vacation in Bora Bora -- the "What Do You Mean?" singer's dad, Jeremy Bieber, seemingly joked about it on Twitter on Friday.

@justinbieber what do you feed that thing. #proud daddy ☺️

Jerome Hudson's disturbing, delusional Breitbart op/ed "The Liberal Media Lynching of Dr Ben Carson"

One of my conservative friends posted this on his Facebook page. YES, it's Breitbart, so if you don't want to read it or click the link, don't.

The Liberal Media Lynching of Dr. Ben Carson

http://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2015/10/09/liberal-media-lynching-dr-ben-carson/

We are all witnessing an elaborate liberal media lynching of Dr. Ben Carson. The former Johns Hopkins neurosurgeon turned leading black Republican presidential candidate is just the latest “uppity negro” (Justice Clarence Thomas, Herman Cain) to defy the expectations of his white liberal mainstream media masters by deciding to ditch the political hymnal from which most blacks read and think for himself.

No matter that before he was surgically splitting brains, Ben Carson was being raised in poverty by a single mother. The disgusting, and yet prevailing, wisdom among far too many Americans is that if black people grow up impoverished like Ben Carson did, their unfortunate fate is a fixture of an America that is, always was, and always will be a devoutly racist place. And if you are black in America, you should never expect to achieve any meaningful socioeconomic success–like becoming a brilliant brain surgeon–simply because of the barriers American racism persistently permit. Of course, this is fallacy.

More pointedly, Ben Carson rebukes that bitter ethos and the victim-focused racial identity it breeds. And now that–as a national figure running for president–he has chosen not to be a mindless minstrel puppet, tap dancing, performing, like a good boy, for his white liberal media gatekeepers, he is being whipped, strung up, and left to hang.

For all the Left’s pseudo-social science drivel about how white America “otherizes” blacks–mercilessly demeaning their humanity, transforming them to subhuman status–one would assume there would be more influential African Americans defending Ben Carson from abhorrent attacks like being called a “coon” by an Ivy League professor. I dare you to imagine a GQ headline that read, “Fuck Barack Obama.”

Black Sabbath's 1972 cocaine budget while recording "Vol 4" was $75,000



According to Butler’s mathematical calculations, Sabbath spent approximately $75K on cocaine in 1972, a whopping $15K more than they spent recording Vol. 4. Here’s more on Sabbath’s white line fever from former cocaine enthusiast Ozzy Osbourne via his 2010 autobiography (which I highly recommend), I Am Ozzy:


Eventually we started to wonder where the fuck all the coke was coming from…I’m telling you: that coke was the whitest, purest, strongest stuff you could ever imagine. One sniff, and you were king of the universe.


In the same book Osbourne noted:


For me, Snowblind was one of Black Sabbath’s best-ever albums—although the record company wouldn’t let us keep the title, ‘cos in those days cocaine was a big deal, and they didn’t want the hassle of a controversy. We didn’t argue.
