Michael irvin Vindicated

-


Vindicated because the Marriott Hotel defamed him in February. There was no trial for his $100 million defamation lawsuit against the hotel chain, but the fact that it settled, is proof he is vindicated. He did not sexually harass a hotel employee.

Michael Irvin needs no introduction to followers of American football because he was on TV, on the NFL Network. They took him off the air because of the accusation by a princess, whose name is not revealed. He sued. Michael Irvin is back on the air but the woman who accused him still drives and parks to the gym, Marriott Hotel, shopping, or swimming with her kids if she has kids. Her life is not destroyed and besmirched.

Michael Irvin’s name has an indelible stain that will be quoted, podcast-ed and re-tweeted till kingdom come. What I would like to know is who are the four men who said: He is a problem. Delete him. Then they drove to the Marriott and agreed on a m.o. to destroy an innocent man. It is fool proof because all those women who lie against successful men are protected. Their names are not revealed.

Michael Irvin is lucky. He is alive to fight for himself. Sam Cooke the songwriter was killed by Bertha Franklin a hotel manager on 11 December 1964. The court called it justifiable homicide. His song ‘Change Gonna Come’ is a classic but it is wrong, tactics changed. No more guns. False accusations from anonymous women. “I was born by the river.”

Elections And Political Bullies

-

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

-

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

Einstein Passengers

Being a passenger is very stressful.   You must listen to the owner of the car, nod and grumble yes to everything he says because you don’t want to piss him off. Two things can happen if you disagree with the driver: he can lose concentration and you all end up in a mash-up accident or stop the car and ask you to get out.   That is the driver’s prerogative.   You must listen to me if you are a passenger in my car.   Let’s flip the script for a minute and sympathise with the driver if she has a passenger who is more intelligent than Albert Einstein. He talks non-stop.   It is all about himself, how right he is, how good he is, how stupid his boss is. Einstein is also a driving instructor.   “Careful.   Look at that guy.   Is he crazy or something? ” says Einstein. Einstein is the unofficial pilot.   He presses imaginary brakes in the passenger seat when the driver stops abruptly for a guy who is texting on his bicycle. A certain Einstein took it to another level.   S
