Image via Getty Suspicious Powder Found Outside Obama’s D.C. Office They really need to stop playing with our emotions. According to a report on Fox5DC Barack Obama’s Washington, D.C. office is surrounded by police, fire department and EMS after a powdery substance was found in a letter that was sent from Hong Kong.

SMH: Wealthy Black Family’s $4 Million Mansion Firebombed By Racist Neighbors

Black Family’s Home Firebombed By Racists Racists targeted a rich Black family’s LA Mansion over the weekend, in an effort to drive them out of their affluent white neighborhood. Via DailyMail : A Los Angeles family whose house was firebombed early Wednesday, causing $200,000 worth of damage, said they considered moving away, convinced they were the targets of a hate crime. But Ronald and Malissia Clinton have chosen to stay after being inundated with support from the local community in Manhattan Beach. The couple believe there is no other reason for the attack – where a gasoline-filled tire was set alight, blowing out the front of their house at 2.30am – other than the fact they’re black. “I don’t have proof, I don’t have any type of motive, but I do have a gut,” Mr Clinton told My Fox LA. “And I tell you- my gut tells me this was racially motivated. And it was somebody that had the intent to harm, injure or even kill us.” Mr Clinton, a pharmacist, was sleep when the attack occurred. He said he woke to the sound of at least two explosions. His wife, a corporate lawyer, was away on business. He quickly got his three children up, grabbed the family dog and ran outside. He then used a garden hose to douse the flames at the front of the house until firefighters arrived to finish the job. The house was bought in 2013 for $3.5 million. The fire department confirmed the incident was arson. Sad that the family had to deal with such hate. Thankfully, no one was hurt and hopefully the culprit will be caught soon. MyFox LA

Frances Cobain BLASTS Lana Del Rey: Shut Up About My Dad!

In a bizarre interview published last week, Lana Del Rey glamorized premature death , and hinted that she’d like to emulate her idols Amy Winehouse and Kurt Cobain by not living to see 30. Naturally, a lot of people took offense to this mind-blowingly foolish statement, and one of the critics of Lana’s comments knows all too well about the pain that can be caused by one person’s reckless disregard for their own health and well-being. Frances Cobain lost her father – legendary Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain – when she was just a year old. Lana Del Rey: I Wish I Was Dead! The young artist was understandably upset by Lana’s comments and has made her feelings clear on Twitter: “@LanaDelRey the death of young musicians isn’t something to romanticize,” Cobain tweeted. “I’ll never know my father because he died young & it becomes a desirable feat because people like you think it’s ‘cool.'” “Well it’s not,” Cobain continued. “Embrace life, because you only get one life. The ppl you mentioned wasted that life.” Wow. Surprisingly insightful comments from 21-year-old  – particularly one partially raised by Cobain’s notoriously troubled widow, Courtney Love. Recently, a new note found at the scene of Cobain’s death  seemed to suggest that the marriage between the two singers was a deeply hostile one.  Shortly thereafter, Love’s father suggested she was involved in Cobain’s death . Needless, to say it remains an ugly situation more than 20 years after Cobain’s death, so it’s plain to see why Frances might object to someone romanticizing her troubled family. It should be noted, however, that Lana has accused The Guardian of misquoting her in the controversial interview in question. 7 Iconic Photos of Kurt Cobain 1.

American Student Gets Stuck in Enormous Vagina Sculpture

USA! USA! US… hey, wait a second. What?!? According to NBC News, an American exchange student sparked an “extraordinary rescue mission” last week when his leg got stuck inside a giant vagina sculpture in Tuebingen, Germany. “It was a dare,” fire department squad leader Markus Mozer explained to NBC . “The young man had tried to pose for an unusual photo and climbed into the artwork.” And, come on, fellas. We all know how complicated it can be once you’re inside there. It took a total of 22 rescue workers (seriously!!!), along with special equipment, to wedge the 20-year old out after about a half hour. The six-foot replica of female genitalia was put in place 13 years ago outside the microbiology and virology department of the city’s university clinic. It’s worth nearly $200,000. This story, however, is priceless. Strange But True News Hall of Fame 1.

It did not go as planned.

Jonas Brothers Trapped in Elevator For 45 Minutes

American pop boyband Jonas Brothers were stucked in an elevator for 45 minutes. After giving a free concert to thousand adoring fans last Saturday at The Grove in Hollywood, they found themselves trapped in an elevator. “We were stuck in an elevator with eight people and Big Rob,” said Joe Jonas, referring to the band’s illustrious security guard. “It was a 21-person elevator,” notes Kevin. Joe and Nick were the first to panick which prompted some disagreement from Nick. “I didn’t panic,” insists the young star, who, mindful of his diabetic condition, points out, “I just didn’t have my [blood-sugar] checker with me. No one had it on them, and I was afraid that if [my blood-sugar level] went low in an elevator we wouldn’t be able to do anything about it.” Joe said, “It went from, ‘Okay, this is hilarious, we’re stuck in an elevator, okay press the button,’ to ‘This is crazy, okay, I can’t breathe, this is insane.’ “ It was fortunate for them to be with a good company during the confinement in the elevator. “Chef Tim Love was in the elevator, with us and he was trying to become Rambo in the moment,” says Joe, who, as a fan of Love’s cooking, had invited him to join them that day. “It was really funny,” says Joe. “It was crazy to see the fact that he was put in the situation.” To top it off, the entire experience was captured on film. “We had our photographer Rob Hoffman with us, and he had his video camera so he taped the whole thing,” says Nick. “It ended with the fire department coming through with axes.” Jonas Brothers Trapped in Elevator For 45 Minutes is a post from: Daily World Buzz Continue reading
