I got this email: My friend Kris Kelly, who runs a nonprofit animal rescue got a call about a dog that refused to leave the street corner where he had been dumped 6 weeks earlier….. He was laying on the corner all day, everyday for the entire 6 weeks. Neighbors were leaving bits of food and water, but he wouldn’t budge….. So I went there with a big bag of meatballs some blankets, and a leash, with two other women. We talked him down and calmed him and held him for 2 hours and finally got him into a car, and now he is being cared for and hopefully adopted by a rescue… But they are very broke….they need help through donations to pay for his care. Anyone who reads the site, yes I am talking to you, one dude who reads the site, knows I love dogs more than people, because dogs possess the qualities people are supposed to possess, it’s like they have evolved with us and kept all our good traits. They are loyal, sweet, amazing…and well they don’t talk back…. So when I hear a devastating story of an asshole fucking a dog over…and nice people who save them, I get involved and suggest you do too. Not to mention Kris Kelly is a total babe Send money via paypal to Info@thekriskellyfoundation.org. Send money via paypal to Info@thekriskellyfoundation.org.

Happy Valentine’s day fellas! Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue Cover Revealed Featuring Chrissy Teigen Via SportsIllustrated IF THE COVER of SI Swimsuit is some of the hottest real estate a supermodel can inhabit, the 50th Anniversary Issue cover is the Tribeca triplex of American newsstands. And if the featured models Nina Agdal, Lily Aldridge and Chrissy Teigen are to believed, they are delighted to occupy that space together. “We really, honestly liked each other,” said Chrissy earlier this afternoon. “Of course you are going to hear that from anybody who does a group shot, but this time it’s true. The connection was natural and the mood was fun.” An hour after getting the good news (a moment captured in the above video), Chrissy and Lily (Nina was out-of-town on a shoot) were on the 33rd floor of the Time- Life Building in a conference room whose enormous windows look out onto the Hudson—by all accounts, on top of the world. There they prepped for the two-week press tour that would likely be the most laborious of their already high-profile lives. But neither model was thinking of small annoyances, especially not Chrissy. Now 28, she has been fan favorite ever since her 2010 Rookie of the Year debut. But nothing guarantees a cover—sorry guys, the Twitter pleas don’t often factor into editorial decisions—and it was safest to avoid thinking about it altogether which she managed to do, until that one magical day in the Cook Islands, late last October . “It’s been many years that I’ve been doing this now and this was the first shoot where I was like, ‘This may actually have cover potential. We had this perfect water, perfect time of day, perfect light, perfect look, perfect suits, perfect everything. And with James Macari shooting, I just sensed it was going to turn out right.’” When asked about which lady is the real “cover girl”, Chrissy says: “If I were to pick . . . I would have to say our butts won it.” We’d have to agree. Flip it over for a few more pics Image via SportsIllustrated
Do you agree? Jesse Jackson Blames Wall Street Discrimination For Black Unemployment Jesse Jackson is speaking out to identify patterns of of long-running economic discrimination that he says is keeping unemployment numbers high among African-Americans. He had this to say on the topic in a recent interview with WPIX New York : Well you have Wall Street and Harlem on the same island. And when you think about Yahoo and Ebay and companies like Amazon with no blacks on the board, that’s a great disparity. Beyond the issue of freedom, we’re free but not equal, the disparities keep growing. It happens because of discrimination. You have patterns that target race discrimination. For example, for many people, their first business was their home. But when these banks foreclosed on homes after subprime lending, the banks got bailed out but the people got left out. We embraced the dream but we didn’t embrace the civil rights. You have to enforce equal opportunity [employment] and affirmative action. For example, what does it mean that 50 years later, there are zero black owners of Coca-Cola franchises? ONE owner of a Pepsi-Cola franchise? 20,000 automobile dealerships and only 200 are black? NFL and there’s not one black owner; [professional] baseball not one; only one in basketball. These patterns of economic segregation have basically been left off of the table. These are patterns of economic discrimination. Do you agree with Rev. Jesse Jackson’s theory on economic discrimination? Let’s discuss.
