I’m Your Pushaaaa: Special Needs Man Travels 520 Miles By Wheelchair To Talk To President Obama About Legalizing Kush

Posted on July 2, 2013 by Benny Hollywood

Ridin’ out for rollin’ up? Now that’s dedication! Man Travels 520 Miles By Wheelchair To Lobby For Legalization Of Kush How far would you go to convince the leader of the free world that piff-puffin’ is a life necessity and should be legal everywhere? Probably not as far as this man. via Huffington Post Confined to a motorized chair, Curtis Kile, who has Cerebral Palsy, thinks “mean green”should be legal for all. The 52-year-old pointed his wheels from Taylor, Mich. toward 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue on June 14, a 520-mile trek. He says he’s hoping to make his pitch in person to President Barack Obama at the White House on July 4. His 17-year-old son, Curtis Kile, Jr., is accompanying him for the 20-day trek in a Ford Econoline van. Kile Sr. is following the path led by his own father, Charles Curtis Kile, Jr., whom Kile said founded the United Marijuana Smokers of Michigan and once walked from Michigan to the White House in support of “mean-green” legalization. While Kile said his health and pace have been affected by the hot temperatures, he has vowed to press on. “I intend to get a national movement going so it (marijuana) can just be legalized,” he told The Compassion Chronicles. “We have to make it readily available to those who cannot afford it.“ Michigan voters approved medical “mean-green” use for some chronic medical conditions in 2008. But acceptance has been stymied on multiple fronts. Kile told the Detroit Free Press that lobbyists and rival industries, not common sense, have stymied access to marijuana for people who could benefit from it. This man damn near risked his life all for the love of that mean green. SMH. Continue reading →

Making It Rain On Them College Hoes: General Petraeus, Former CIA Director And Notorious Cheat, To Earn $150K Teaching 2 Classes At CUNY!

Posted on July 2, 2013 by Benny Hollywood

We bet this dirty dog will be teaching them co-eds a thing or two… Via NYDailyNews reports : City university will pay $150,000 to former CIA Director David Petraeus to teach two classes in the next school year, a CUNY official said Monday. The salary is substantially higher than most visiting professors, but it will be covered through private fund-raising, not taxpayer dollars, CUNY spokesman Michael Arena said. Petraeus, who resigned from the CIA last year after admitting an affair with his biographer, will be a visiting public policy professor at CUNY’s Macaulay Honors College. CUNY announced the appointment in April but did not disclose his salary, which was reported by Gawker.com. “He’s teaching two courses . . . and giving some public lectures,” Arena said. Before leading the CIA, Petraeus was a four-star general who commanded the coalition forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. SMH. Must be nice. Had it been a black man — nevermind. Just sayin’ though.

Josh Hamilton Signs $125 Million Deal with Angels

Posted on December 13, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

One year after shocking the world with its signing of Albert Pujols, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim have done it again. And they’ve screwed over arch rival Texas in the process. Sources confirm that Josh Hamilton – a former American League MVP who hit .285 with 43 homers and 128 RBI last year – has signed a five-year, $125 million deal with the Angels. In stealing the free agent from the Rangers, Los Angeles bolsters a lineup that already includes Pujols and Mike Trout. That’s fairly ridiculous. It is now expected they will try to trade another bat (Mike Trumbo, sources believe) for a front-line pitcher along the lines of R.A. Dickey. Hamilton is a recovering alcoholic who has been open about his struggles to remain clean and sober. He’s exceptionally good at hitting a baseball.

David Petraeus: Barbara Walters’ Most Fascinating Person of 2012!

Posted on December 13, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Barbara Walters’ 10 Most Fascinating People of 2012 special aired last night, and the #1 most fascinating of the electic mix of individuals was revealed at last: David Petraeus! The special highlighted the achievements and antics of those that kept us enthralled for the past 12 months, from Ben Affleck to Gabby Douglas to Honey Boo Boo . But it was Petraeus, the decorated U.S. military hero now disgraced by an affair that forced his resignation as director of the CIA, who took the top prize. “He is, without question, one of the finest officers and minds of his generation,” said Walters. “Then shockingly, he resigned as head of the CIA because he’d had an extramarital affair with Paula Broadwell, his biographer. … The story was irresistible.” “The keeper of the nation’s secrets, unable to conceal his own.” Yes … the story of a man attracted to a younger woman who was taken with him is so unique. Paula Broadwell , of course, was revealed as Petraeus mistress after apparently emailing Jill Kelley, another woman he knew socially, and telling her to step off. Petraeus has been married to his wife, Holly, for 37 years. On the entertainment side, Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane received a spot, along with British boy band One Direction and 50 Shades of Grey author E L James. Political nods went to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. What do you think of David Petraeus as the year’s most fascinating person? Yes, that story was the craziest! No, are you kidding me? View Poll »

Holly Petraeus "Beyond Furious" With David Petraeus Affair, Spokesman Says

Posted on November 12, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Holly Petraeus, David Petraeus’ wife, is reportedly incensed that the now-former CIA Director cheated on her with Paula Broadwell after 37 years of marriage. To say she’s furious would be an understatement, his former spokesman says. Holly has not commented on Petraeus’ resignation from the CIA , but former spokesman and family friend Ret. U.S. Army Col. Steve Boylan revealed what she’s feeling. “As you can imagine, she’s not exactly pleased right now,” Boylan told GMA, revealing that Petraeus told him that Holly was irate over the situation. “In a conversation with David Petraeus this weekend, he said, ‘Furious would be an understatement.'” “I think anyone that’s been put in that situation would probably agree. He deeply hurt the family.” Boylan also gave a timeline of the affair Petraeus had with Paula Broadwell, his biographer. The spokesman revealed that the relationship began several months after his retirement from the Army in August 2011 and ended four months ago. He said David Petreaus, whose affair was apparently revealed to the FBI by a second woman, Jill Kelley , recognizes the magnitude of his indiscretion. “He had a huge job and he felt he was doing great work and that is all gone now.” Petraeus knows “this was poor judgment on his part. It was a colossal mistake. … He’s acknowledged that,” Boylan said. His next move is anyone’s guess.
