lamar+cooper Criswell College Interim President Dr. Lamar Cooper in Hot Water for Calling Illegal Immigrants "WetbacksCriswell College interim president Dr. Lamar Cooper’s recent comments about the Arizona immigration legislation before a radio-broadcast last Sunday during which he referred to illegal immigrants as “wetbacks.” Wow, how compassionate! According to the Dallas Morning News, church officials have condemned the remark and said it was “off-hand” and “unfortunate.” Er, it was very insensitive.

According to the Dallas Morning News, the broadcast has been taken off-air indefinitely and the church is apologizing individually to each person who has complained about Cooper’s language.

Criswell, a small Christian college in Dallas, prides itself as developing “God-called men and women in the Word, both intellectually and academically. Really? Compassion is one of the first things Lamar Cooper ought to develop. He should learn to lead by example.

Marqz Robotham, Hartford, CT, is accused of killing his former girlfriend, Allison Owen, in front of horrified customers at Windsor Federal Savings Bank Thursday afternoon. According to the Hartford Courant, police received calls from patrons at the bank who witnessed Robotham, 18, repeatedly stabbing Owen in the bank’s rear parking lot. She was rushed to the hospital, where she later died.

Windsor police Capt. Thomas LePore said both had graduated from Windsor High School in 2009 and had been living together until their relationship ended recently, according to the Courant. They were high school sweethearts and honor students.

Robotham’s bail is set at $1 million and he will be arraigned Friday at Superior Court in Enfield. The reality is that domestic violence knows no boundaries and is more prevalent than we think. My thoughts and prayers go out of the family of Allison Owen.

Glenn Beck’s Viewership on Fox News Plunges Nearly 30%

April 30, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Fox News wingnut Glenn Beck’s television audience plunged nearly 30% since the beginning of the year, since more people are coming to the realization that the man is crazy. Fox News, despite Beck’s plunge is still leading the ratings charge. The company averaged 1.9 million viewers in April, which beat the combined audiences of MSNBC, CNN and HLN.  Fox has now led its rivals for 100 months.

Beck lost about 800,000 viewers since the start of the year, though he still has 2.1 million watchers. I think Glenn Beck has gone totally radical since he left CNN. Unless he was being restrained there and since Fox News doesn’t have a problem coming off partisan and nutty, then I guess they let him flourish.

 My  mother is my heart and I can’t imagine anything sinister ever happening to her. I can’t even fathom how someone could harm their mother, much less decapitate her. Shocking. Jumar Henry, 21, of Jacksonville, was charged with murder after his mother, Jennifer Renee-Henry Ling’s bloody, headless body was found inside her home. The decapitated head was found in a bag a few blocks away from her home on Sunday, according to the Florida Times-Union. Police said witnesses saw him leave the home carrying an identical bag and then returned a few minutes later empty-handed. What’s equally shocking is the fact that he went to church to pray for forgiveness shortly thereafter. She was reportedly killed following an altercation with Henry. Police said the murder weapon was a steak knife from her kitchen.
