Arlen Specter, a former U.S. Senator who made headlines toward the end of his career by switching from the Republican Party to the Democratic side, passed away yesterday after a battle with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. He was 82. The long-time Pennsylvania politician passed away at his home in Philadelphia, family members confirm. He was elected to the Senate in 1980 and served longer than anyone in state history. “Arlen Specter was always a fighter,” President Barack Obama said in a statement. “From his days stamping out corruption as a prosecutor in Philadelphia to his three decades of service in the Senate, Arlen was fiercely independent — never putting party or ideology ahead of the people he was chosen to serve. He brought that same toughness and determination to his personal struggles, using his own story to inspire others.” Specter crossed party lines in 2009 when he voted for the President’s stimulus plan and subsequently lost in the Democratic primary to then-U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak a year later. He is survived by wife Joan, sons Shanin and Steve, and four granddaughters.
While Mitt Romney’s “47 percent” remark became a campaign land mine for the Republican this fall, another quote from that same viral video has been largely ignored. Until now, if Rosie Perez has anything to say about it. Easier as a Latino? (Rosie Perez Ad) The actress just recorded an ad for a Democratic PAC focusing on Romney joking that if his Mexican-born father had had Mexican parents, he would “have a better shot at winning this.” “I say that jokingly,” the candidate added, “But it would be helpful to be Latino.” The ad cuts from the laughter of Romney donors to Perez’s own laughter. “Hispanics represent 17 percent of the population and account for less than 2 percent of all elected and appointed officials. The advantage is obvious,” she says, sarcastically. She then goes on to mockingly name the U.S.’s Latino presidents (Jorge Washington, Jorge Bush, etc.) and generally makes fun of Mitt for being rich. That’s about it. Romney and President Barack Obama square off Tuesday in the second of three presidential debates . If that latter doesn’t show up this time, no ads are going to help.

Marine’s Wife Suspected Killers Linked To Alternative Sex Lifestyle Keep thinking that “50 Shades Of Grey” business is a cool way to get your kicks. It’s looking like it got this woman murked and another one taking the rap for her nasty freakazoid lover. The three people accused of killing a 22-year-old Marine wifewere engaged in a sadistic sexual lifestyle that may be linked to her death, according to court documents released Wednesday. Detectives believe two of the defendants, a Marine and his girlfriend, may have sexually accosted Brittany Dawn Killgore before killing her, according to one document. Four search warrants, ordered released by an appeals court over the objections of the district attorney’s office, provide an inside look at the unusual relationship involving Staff Sgt. Louis Perez, 45; Jessica Lopez, 25; and Dorothy Maraglino, 36, all charged with murder in connection with Killgore’s slaying. The three shared a house in Fallbrook in northern San Diego County where detectives believe Killgore may have been killed either April 13 or April 14. Her body was found days later near Lake Skinner in Riverside County. Perez, Lopez and Maraglino routinely engaged in sex play that included bondage, punishment, masks, whips, spanking, cutting, a “sex dungeon,” an unspecified “sex apparatus” and role-playing of slave, servant and master, according to one document. “Because of Perez and Maraglino’s unusual sex fetishes, I believe they may have accosted Killgore for these reasons,” one San Diego County Sheriff’s Department detective wrote in a sworn affidavit accompanying a search warrant. The search warrants include an assertion that an unidentified woman was once held hostage in the “sex dungeon” until she submitted. On April 13, Killgore agreed to accompany Perez to San Diego for a dinner cruise, according to the documents. Within 13 minutes of Perez picking her up at her residence, Killgore texted a friend: “Help.”Unable to get a response from Killgore, the friend texted back: “Brittany, Are U OK? I am freaking out here.” Perez sent back texts via Killgore’s phone indicating that nothing was amiss, according to the search warrants. Perez was the first of the three to be arrested. Detectives found a stun gun and gloves with blood that matched Killgore in his truck. Perez told detectives that he had taken Killgore to the Whiskey Girl Club in the Gaslamp District in San Diego but that the two had become separated, according to a detective. Investigators believe Perez and Killgore never left Fallbrook. Lopez was arrested at a San Diego motel where she had been drinking heavily and had attempted suicide. In a profanity-laced seven-page note addressed “PIGS READ THIS,” she claimed to have killed Killgore out of jealousy and dumped her body “in almost plain sight.” In the note, Lopez referred to Perez as “Master” and Maraglino as “Mistress.” Lopez was Perez’s former girlfriend; Maraglino was his current girlfriend, according to detectives. Killgore’s body showed signs of strangulation and attempts at dismemberment, as Lopez’s note suggested, according to one search warrant. The documents were released at the request of several news organizations. Perez, Lopez and Maraglino have pleaded not guilty. All remain in county jail on $3-million bail each. Killgore’s husband returned from Afghanistan on emergency leave after the killing. SMH. Just disgusting. That poor woman. May she rest in peace. Source Facebook
A little known fact about me…when Lady Gaga, someone I find annoying, disgusting, a lie of a human, a try hard, trash that the public sucked up and made a fortune for as she scrambled to try to be different….is that I molested her ass once… I snuck into some afterparty for her and she was in some VIP booth behind security guards with Perez Hilton and I just reached in around her security and fondled her fishnet, leotard wearing ass. This was 3 years ago, right when she was milking Perez Hilton for fame, that worked, you know cuz she fucking exploded after that…. And you know what, depsite having a face that always looks like it is about to throw up, her ass was fucking incredible…. In attempts to take her fame to the next level, she’s pulling what she pulled with Perez on Terry Richardson, bringing him out to photo document her tour….and here are some pics from her first show…in Korea. I’m hoping they produce more nudity, cuz she needs the press and I’ll always look at a bitch naked, even if I hate her…in fact, most bitches I see naked I hate… here are the pics…
