Santa Fired over Naughty Boys & Girls Joke

San Francisco's Macy's Union Square has had "Santa John" on the clock for 20 Christmases.

He's been on the job since 1990, but now John Toomey is out of a job because of a joke he says he's used for decades.

Macy's fired Toomey over the weekend after a couple who visited him for a photo complained the joke was in bad taste.

Toomey says he must have told it a thousand times and notes he only tells it to adults.

"When I ask the older people who sit on my lap if they've been good and they say, 'Yes,' I say, 'Gee, that's too bad.' Then, if they ask why Santa is so jolly, I joke that it's because I know where all the naughty boys and girls live," he explained.

Macy's hasn't commented on Toomey's dismissal.

Toomey is still hoping his long time employer will reconsider.

INMATE has "CELL" PHONE... (Video)

 A Oklahoma man convicted of killing a sheriff used a "cell" phone from his prison cell to access Facebook! Walker, convicted of the 2001 murder of Pawnee County Sheriff Dwight Woodrell Jr., has been held in a medium-security facility, sentenced to 30 years for the killing acquired a Blackberry Smart-phone. Talk about things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
 Uploading photos of himself w/ a knife and smoking trees inprision like a true beast he was caught and now no more good times. Too bad he didn't use what he had and get the word out of how prison really is like Omar Broadway. Omar is a Black man  from New Jersey, a prison inmate who snuck a video camera into maximum security & will be premiering his documentary on HBO.
 All I'm saying is be smart if you're gonna do something of this magnitude, make it count for more than 15min of fame. This man and his buddies had trees and was doing how we do on the street. It look like a pound & a party to me. So all inmates remember to check your privacy settings and take those close shots of yourself, you know from about arms distance, so nobody can tell what 's in your background. That way you can document ya story and share it wit ya family and friends... if that's the kinda shyt they into.
 Prisoners aren't supposed to have "cell" phones, much less phones that have Internet access, but Justin Walker did. Why not though? He's in a "cell" with a "cell" phone... let the man download a few apps and make a few calls until he gets caught, but my homey don't ever show off your BlackBerry by posting videos of yourself to Facebook. That is self destruction. Think what you COULD be doing and the difference of what you are actually doing!?!? Oh my fault he can't read this article right now, cause he is in MAX!
 So this goes out to everybody. Let's learn from our mistakes and just take a moment to think next time, look at your surroundings and ask yourself... is my next move my best move? Not only for yourself but for all the family & friends that will miss yo dumb ass if you make that bong hit... I mean bone head decision.

Mehserle; ONLY 2 years for Oscar Grant's life

In this tragic case of a young Black man being murdered, we are finally able to see the horrible truth about how we are regarded in this hypocritical society. A mans life was taken and all I hear from the media are excuses for the actions of Mehserle.

 There is no explaining or sugar coating in the death of Oscar Grant. With all this so called training "officers" are put through, why now is there room for error? When young Black mean make mistakes they are treated as if they should have known better and we have received no training. Think about that.

 A 2 year sentence puts Mehserle back on the streets before the Grants Family can even properly grieve and learn to deal with the loss of a son, father or fiance.

 I don't want riots or the death of Mehserle, even though I'm do not oppose either, but what I do want is justice. Too bad she's blind...

SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS VICTORY PARADE PHOTOS

Enjoy our photos...

San FranCHAMPIONS of 2010

This morning the World Champion San Francisco GIANTS returned home and were greeted by a fans of all ages. As the buses rolled in the cheers got louder. The Mayor Gavin Newson is amongst some of the GIANTS fans now recalling their love for the American Past-Time.

 Since the play-off run and making it to the World Series, we have had our City Hall lit with orange lights, we have won bets with other cities and had our flag raised above Atlanta's City Hall(Check my archive for that story.) and it was all for a good cause. Over 50 years in the making.

 Upon arriving home the players I'm sure were exhausted but signed autographs and talked with the fans as they showed off the Trophy our GIANTS proudly have brought home. Crowds were ecstatic

.

But last night in the City of San Francisco there was a different story. People celebrating in the streets turned ugly and started burning trashcans and starting small bonfires which the police Chief said he would allow until the fires or crowd got out of control, which it eventually did. 

 One crowd at the intersection of Mission street and 11th street at one point surrounded a car that tried to make it's way through the people in the street. The crowd turned on the car and passengers, pulling the doors open and trampling the car. The vehicle was eventually set on fire and the police intervened. There were reports of a few arrests but authorities are still the suspects and victims in the car case as they were all gone by time the police responded.                                             

  SERIOUSLY?

 So all in all it was a Glorious night for all San Franciscans and tomorrow there will be a parade in the GIANTS honor. (The route is shown above.)

 The parade will start on Montgomery st at Washington st, then turn onto Market st headed west towards City Hall. It will then turn off of Market st onto Mcallister st and continue to its end at Civic Center Plaza.

 Edgar Renteria has been named Most Valuable Player last night. Renteria hit a game clinching 3 run home run in the 7th inning to make the game 3-0 , which ended at 3-1 with the Rangers only scoring 1 run from a solo home run shot directly answering Renteria's. The bottom line is that it wasn't enough to stop the GIANTS.

Barry Bonds Stopped by Cops

Last night sometime during all the celebrations and amongst all the jubilation due to an overdue San Francisco GIANTS World Series victory, the all-time slugger was being pulled over by Hollywood police for talking on his cell phone. Barry Bonds was driving the limit and not swerving but the light emitted from his iPhone was bright enough to attract the red & blues and that all too familiar horn! Cited and released I'm sure Bonds was more concerned with the win that had eluded him during his career here in San Francisco. Enjoy it just as if you were playing Barry, cause I'm sure you're an inspiration for more than a few of those guys who took it all the way and brought home the Trophy.

SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS WIN THE WORLD SERIES 3-1

I would think the title on this one says enough and I'm sure you been keeping up with my Giants and their victorious season.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE 2010 CHAMPIONSHIP SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS
