Talk about Mercury Retrograde! Such wild communications all over the place it’s crazy.
I’ve not been a fan of Kanye, and agree with the President’s simple assessment. And Lynn, I agree fueling the opposition doesn’t do a thing to shift the world in any useful way.
If Taylor was willing, to me the real path of Kanye’s healing could be something like working with her on a song, recording together, doing a couple shows together on Taylor’s terms, in Taylor’s life, in her world so he could experience some of what her life is like. All his apologies sound so self-serving I think he’s got to do something rather than just fuel talk about him. That’s my two cents’ worth.

Who cares about Kanye West? Really? Really, really?

Not to make excuses for Kanye but I still think he is grieving his mother’s sudden death at the bottom of a bottle of alcohol.
As for Serena I find it ironic that is her first major blow up and people want to ban from the Australian Open and possibly even more Grand Slams next year, yet Johnny Mac who was famous for his temper tantrums is a respected commentator. Go figure!!

The difference is, of course, that John MacEnroe had his blow-ups way back in the 70s or 80s (I think) and never, ever threatened “shove this **cking ball down your **cking throat”. And much has changed in the game since then.
In the tennis world, which I’m a part of, Serena had been on edge through much of the tournament, shooting glares at linespeople and, although not cuddly by any stretch of the imagination, was cold and more distant than usual. Those who saw her in the Player’s Lounge or on-court during practice said she seemed angry but just under the surface.
Had she had one blow-up over that foot fault call, she could have perhaps dodged the USTA bullet. But she returned to serve, and then decided to go back and continue yelling. That — and the profanity (which MacEnroe never used, to my knowledge) — was when she crossed the line.
As for Kanye grieving his mother, I don’t buy it. This is how he’s always acted, even before her passing. With a Sun-Jupiter conjunction, I believe, he’s just a pompous a** with an inflated sense of self. But as with most things Jupiterian, it’s a lot of hot air with no legs to stand on.

Ok here it goes. Both Kanye and Serena are paid far more than any average every day working class citizen like myself. I am not taking away from their craft, but what I am saying is just because you make the dough does not mean it gives you a right to be rude. There is no excuse for rude behavior. Taylor who is younger than anyone in this situation has more class than those who wanted to steal the spotlight. Maybe there is hope for the young generation.

Wow did Obama really call him a JACKASS??? Ha ah ahhhahhahh aha ahahha
Love it!!!!

Great post, Lynn, and i agree with you and the president 100%.
Perhaps Mars now being no longer out-of-bounds (a tennis term, no less) will help with the outrageousness!

I think Kanye’s heart is in the right place but his mouth isn’t.
But Beyonce just confirmed my belief in her goodness and compassion.

Shane, Beyonce showed her graciousness and offered a hand of healing by using her time onstage to invite Taylor Swift back up to the stage for a second opportunity. THAT is class.

Hope he gets help soon. Stop taking Hennesey bottle to an Awards show would be a step in the right direction. Ask Amber BEFORE you open you mouth in public again..

“The problem is, the greater a reaction to an event, the greater the apparent significance that event takes on”
Like you are doing with these events? I don’t even know who Kanye West is, and I think I’m better off not knowing I didn’t know who Joe Wilson was until last week either. Both of these characters are insignificant egotists making a big noise. The MTV “music” awards aren’t about music, they are about the music industry. Real talent has moved elsewhere yet people keep watching…

As far as President Obama. A lie is a lie and a bold face lie is even worse You may not like him being call out on his disinformation but it has been on going campaign of deceit. The truth to his lie was exposed when day(s) after the speech language to enforce the requirements that no funds were to be used for illegal aliens was finally added to the bill. When back doors are left wide open to allow that which the President said did not exist, then there is no intention of stopping illegal aliens from obtaining health coverage at tax payers expense. Most politicians lie, do we not remember, “read my lips”, President George Bush senior or “I did not have sex with that woman”, President Clinton. These were bold face lies meant to deflect public awareness of the real truth. This health care bill is far greater than either of the other two instances since they only impacted near term situations. This Health Care Bill will impact the indebtedness of the American people for decades unending. It is refreshing to finally see someone who is not fearful of the two party evil alliance of democrate-republican elite.

I just wrote a defense of Joe Wilson and called a lie a lie and explained it. I did notice that all other comments were anti Wilson. For some reason when I went to post my comment it is not appearing even though I am showing that comment was to be #12. I guess the censors are hard at work here.

An up date as soon as I posted comment #13 my comment #12 was released for posting. Sometimes you have to entice people to do the right thing.

Mel, there were no lies. Saying the bill doesn’t provide for illegals is different than saying if it provides for enforcement. If Obama had said it provided enforcement, then that would have been a lie. The Joe Wilson kind of outburst should not be tolerated. Civil discourse is necessary and interrupting the presidents speech was extremely disrespectful. If you think Obama lied then did GWB do every time he opened his trap? If not lies then continuous distortion. Even when he was spouting the Iraq lies no one was as disrespectful as Wilson. Republicans would not have tolerated it when they had the balance of power. A few were honest enough to admit it isn’t acceptable House behavior and deserved condemnation. Do you want the government turned into more of a circus than it already is?

Your article and opinion of this relating to the planet positions is excellent and gives food to thought.
Thank you. And thanks for your calm…. I hope many were listening and getting it!!!

The only censor on this blog is me, and I don’t remove any comments unless they are profane or just nasty. Sometimes there is a delay of several minutes before a comment is posted to the system.

This reminds me of Micheal Jackson’s life situation. Kanye West has as many notable friends as Micheal Jackson but no one was willing to speak the truth to him about his behavior. Yes it is a hard world but balance is there if you ask and work for it. kanye’s life is not one of drugs, violence, and sheer hate, so he is working hard but he shows little respect for others. He will need some humility if he really want’s the respect he is hollering about.
