Surprise!! Mittens Got ZERO Votes In 59 Voting Districts In Philly!

This is raising a lot of eyebrows and analysts are questioning how not one single vote was made for Romney . According to The Grio : U.S. cities are usually bursting with Democrats. Politically homogeneous, most big cities have 75 to 80 percent of its residents identifying with President Barack Obama’s party. Still, what happened in some Philadelphia districts on Election Day was incredible. Fifty-nine of the city’s voting districts came up with results that if proven to be without fault, are outstanding. They reported that not a single person voted for GOP candidate Mitt Romney. Zero. The Philadelphia Inquirer reports the unofficial vote tallies for President Obama at 19,605 to Mitt Romney’s nil. “We have always had these dense urban corridors that are extremely Democratic,” said Stanford University political science professor Jonathan Rodden told Philly.com, “It’s kind of an urban fact, and you are looking at the extreme end of it in Philadelphia.” The unanimous support for Obama was clustered in the predominantly black neighborhoods of West and North Philadelphia. Though a big win, the result can be used as fodder for voter fraud conspiracy theorists. Steve Miskin, a spokesman for Republicans in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives brought up his party’s voter ID initiative when he heard about the results. “We believe we need to continue ensuring the integrity of the ballot,” he said. “I’d be surprised if there weren’t a handful of precincts that didn’t cast a vote for Romney, but the number of zero precincts in Philadelphia deserves examination.” said Larry Sabato, a political scientist at the University of Virginia who has studied African-American precincts. “Not a single vote for Romney or even an error? That’s worth looking into,” he said. In many of the wards, not only were votes for Romney missing, but Republicans were generally AWOL. The City Board of Elections claimed some registered voters were Republicans. But when asked by the Inquirer, they said they were Democrats. James Norris, 19, is listed as a Republican, but claims to be a Democrat. Another voter, Eric Sapp, 42, was surprised to hear that the city listed him as a Republican. Both voted for President Obama. “I got to check on that,” Sapp told the Inquirer. This result isn’t the first time that the Democrat candidate has won so overwhelmingly in a Philadelphia precinct. George W. Bush came out with no votes in five divisions in 2004, and in 2008, McCain didn’t get a single vote in 57 divisions. Do you think it’s all a coincidence?? Images via WENN

Chris Brown Dresses as Islamic Terrorist For Rihanna Halloween Party

Chris Brown, a man already linked to violence and destruction on a regular basis, hit up Rihanna’s Halloween party last night dressed as … a stereotypical Islamic terrorist. Here’s the singer and his crew, Taliban style: The 23-year-old and his pals donned beards, turbans and fake guns as they made their way to a TSA Watch List Greystone Manor in West Hollywood. “Ain’t nobody F–king wit my clique!!! #ohb,” Chris tweeted, classily. Chris Brown himself hasn’t commented beyond that, but his mother, Joyce Hawkins, weighed in: “HALLOWEEN IS FOR FUN NOTHING MORE THAN JUST FUN.” “GET A LIFE PLEASE.” Thanks, Joyce. We’ll do that. It’s not like your boy goes out of his way to court controversy. Halloween is the time for shock value, but still. You’d think a convicted woman-beater with obvious rage issues might opt for a costume a little less provocative. You know, like Green Man from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia . Or Karrueche Tran . What do you think of Chris’ costume? Good fun or goodness, what is he thinking?   Harmless fun! Offensive and insensitive! View Poll »

Update: Woman Sucker Punched By Officer During Parade Speaks About Anger And Insecurity Over Assault [Video]

We’re still shocked by this video… and now Aida Guzman is finally speaking out after the incident. We showed you the footage of Aida being brutally assaulted by a police officer for no reason at a Puerto Rican Day parade and now police say they will launch a full investigation into the actions of the 19-year veteran cop. According to the Daily News… Mother-of-three Aida Guzman, 39, from Philadelphia, has a swollen and cut lip as well as injuries to her hands and arm after the violent assault from Highway Patrol Lt Jonathan D. Josey II, 40. Speaking at her Chester home yesterday, she said she was angry at the officer’s actions and insists she had done nothing wrong and that she was merely a participant in the parade. Translating for her mother, her daughter Keysha, 19, said her mom was hit from behind and while she was on the ground the officer said: ‘That’s what you get’. She then told him,’It wasn’t me.’ She said: ‘That’s what happened. I didn’t do it. He has no right to put his hands on me. I’m 39, I don’t play games like that. ‘I feel angry, very angry. I go to someplace, got a good time and look this happen, for no reason.’ Lt Josey – a 19-year police veteran who moonlights as an actor and comedian, according to the Philadelphia Daily News-is seen in the video punching Ms Guzman violently in the back of the head after someone else in the crowd throws silly string or water at the officers. In 2006, he nominated himself to be a ‘Daily News Sexy Single’, where he listed his most outstanding feature as his ‘charm and magnetic personality’. In March 2010, Josey was cleared in the fatal shooting of an armed robber at a 7-Eleven and was later cited for bravery. He was stabbed in June 2010 when he was trying to break up a fight at a bar when he was off duty. An internal affairs investigation was launched on Monday and Josey was placed on desk duty pending the outcome of the investigation. Deputy Police Commissioner Richard Ross said of the incident: ‘We’d be remiss if we didn’t acknowledge that the video is disturbing. ‘Clearly, the one issue at hand is she does appear to be walking away. She does not appear to be facing Lt Josey at that time.’ The 39-year-old was then arrested and was issued a summary citation for disorderly conduct, on which police reported she had thrown beer at them. We hope this ‘man’ gets dropped by the PD and soon. With all of this isht caught on tape, it’d be hard to convince any of us that he wasn’t out of line! Images via facebook/youtube

For Discussion: Philly Man On Death-Row For Killing Childhood Rapist To Be Executed Next Month, Does He Deserve Death Penalty???

A judge has granted a new evidence hearing for a killer set to be executed next month after he has claimed he was sexually abused by his victims when he was a child. Terrance ‘Terry’ Williams admits he killed Amos Norwood with a tire iron at age 18, months after killing another man. He now says Norwood, 56, had been sexually abusing him since he was 13. In a new affidavit, co-defendant Marc Draper said he told detectives and a prosecutor that Williams ‘snapped’ over his relationship with Norwood, information they discouraged him from telling the jury. A Philadelphia judge has now granted a new evidence hearing for Williams, who is due to be execute October 3, so she can hear from Draper and the trial prosecutor. He claims that both men, Norwood and 50-year-old Herbert Hamilton, had molested him. Hamilton was found naked with his throat cut on his kitchen floor in January 1984, when Williams was 17. He has exhausted his appeals, but could win a reprieve if he can prove the government withheld evidence or otherwise interfered with his 1986 trial, public defender Shawn Nolan said. Norwood’s widow, several jurors and death-penalty opponents, including Roman Catholic Archbishop Charles Chaput of Philadelphia, are among those urging that Williams’ life be spared. Williams, is set to be executed on October 3. He would be the first person executed in Pennsylvania since 1999. Let’s make something clear, it’s NEVER right to kill some with the exception of acting in self-defense. But 30 years is more than enough time for a crime of passion from a victim of sexual assault. The idea of him giving his life on top of what he has already lived (loss of a childhood, a promising adulthood, and guilt of taking a life.) Do you think Terry deserves the death penalty or should his life be spared? To sign a petition for Terry’s clemency click HERE Source

Isn’t She Engaged? Wild Child Miley Cyrus Was Caught Sucking Face With Another Chick In NYC!

Where are her parents? Wait, where is her fiance!?!? Miley Cyrus is attracting attention for all the wrong reasons as usual. This week the teen singer/actress has tongues wagging about her doing a little same-sex kissing, and of course everyone is talking about how the timing is perfect because of her new platinum short “boy” haircut. The former “Hannah Montana” star, who recently became engaged to longtime boyfriend Liam Hemsworth of “Hunger Games” fame, is sowing her wild oats before the wedding – by smooching other women. “Miley decided to live a little before she ties the knot,” an insider told The ENQUIRER. “She wants to have some fun and laughs before she gets bogged down with wedding plans.” Miley, 19, was spotted sharing an intimate kiss with an unidentified woman at New York’s trendy club The Darby on Aug. 23 while her 22-year-old fiance was hard at work shooting his new film, “Paranoia,” in Philadelphia. “Miley has always been outspoken over her support of gay rights,” the source continued. “She even sports a small equal sign tattoo on her ring finger to signify her belief that all love is equal. “So it’s certainly not surprising that she’s experimenting with girls before she walks down the aisle.” This isn’t the first time the onetime Disney darling has locked lips with another young lovely. In 2010, she puckered up with a cutie onstage during a performance of “Can’t Be Tamed” at London’s legendary G-A-Y nightclub. At the time, the “Party in the USA” singer defended the kiss by claiming “nothing happened” and there are “more important things in the world” than two girls kissing onstage. But Miley’s behavior was enough for self-professed bi actress Evan Rachel Wood to take notice! After seeing Miley’s new do, Wood tweeted: “I called it! Miley Cyrus is leaning toward gay!” Meanwhile, Miley’s career remains red-hot as she recently inked a deal to appear in a two-part episode of the hit sitcom “Two and a Half Men.” “Miley’s having the time of her life right now,” added the source. “She knows she’ll have to settle down once she and Liam get hitched, but for now she seems to be living by the motto, ‘Girls just want to have fun!’” SMH. If Miley is “having the time of her life right now” and feels the need to “live a little before tying the knot,” what is even the point of getting married? She’s only 19 anyway! What’s the rush? And what gives with the making out with girls? Is she really attracted to women or is this just about how much she can get away with without Liam walking away? Source
