Yes, Serena Williams uses steroids. As do hundreds of other athletes.

Do you realize that Lance Armstrong never failed a test….Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Roger Clemens never failed a single steroid test…..If you think that Serena Williams, Dwight Howard, LeBron James and many more of your childhood heroes aren’t/weren’t on Steroids; you're out of your mind.

Biogenesis an “Anti-Aging Clink” in Miami has been linked to athletes from the NBA, NCAA, professional boxing, tennis and MMA, in addition to other professional baseball players who have not yet been identified.

Tiger Wood’s personal trainer was arrested crossing the Canadian Border into NY smuggling HGH and PED’s.

In Touch used a drone to help cover George Clooney-Amal Alamuddin's wedding

The source tells us that David Perel, the editorial director of In Touch and its sister title Life & Style Weekly, is “extremely excited” in the technology and plans to soon have live video from the drone on his computer so that he can direct reporting on breaking news.

It’s believed that In Touch is the first magazine in the highly competitive celebrity category to use the technology.

Mia Farrow was paid $118,000 to fly to Ecuador and get her picture taken showing her hand covered with oil.

The Farrow visit was part of a campaign centered on an Ecuadorian court ruling that found against Chevron and ordered it to pay more than $9 billion in compensation, the largest civil penalty in history.

A few months ago, a New York court found the Chevron judgment was obtained by fraud and bribery — mostly masterminded by Manhattan-based attorney Steven Donziger. The fraud was so outrageous that the judge found the Ecuadorian lawsuit was the equivalent of organized crime extorting money from Chevron.

The RICO laws, normally used against organized crime, are now being applied to Donziger and his associates.
The case was so corrupt, it’s impossible to list here all the outrages.

Punches, blood and someone shouting the C-word


Anchorage police released a report Thursday detailing a fight that broke out at a house party in September where several members of the Palin family were in attendance. As TheWrap previously reported, witnesses named Track Palin and Bristol Palin, the son and daughter of former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin, as being physically involved in the brawl. No arrests were made the night of the incident and no one involved opted to press charges.

The new report is offering new details about the altercation. Here are the 7 most shocking revelations:

North Carolina’s athletic department colluded with a manager in the African and Afro-American Studies department for student-athletes to take classes to boost their GPAs and keep them eligible in their respective sports.

Colleges make a fortune off of their athletes and the students receive a worthless degree. Meanwhile, the football coach is often the highest paid employee on campus.

Other majors that exist for jocks:

Communications: This seems to be one of the more popular. What used to be taught at a technical school was dressed up with 100 and 200 level liberal arts classes into a respectable major.

Criminal Justice: A four year degree that police departments think is bogus is very popular in the SEC. It used to be cops and prison guards were trained on the job. Now they can get a four year degree, before having to be trained on the job.

Apparel, Housing, and Resource Management: This is one of of my favorites offered by Virginia Tech. The Vick brothers were placed in this department. One of the classes is to attend a fashion show. This is basically home economics with a dose of bling.

Family, Youth and Community Service: Florida puts its jocks in this program. Tim Tebow was placed here. This program teaches kids how to volunteer at a non-profit or church.

Physical Activity and Sports Science: This is where West Virginia puts its young scholars from the football team. It’s a bachelor degree in gym. Heck, they even offer a masters in gym so it must be really hard.

Kinesiology: Texas likes this one. I used to think it was just gym with a fancy name, but I’m told graduates go onto exciting careers in massage therapy. If you like getting a back rub from a 250 pound former linebacker, Texas is the place for you.

Rob Reiner Makes His Stand Against Whole Foods in the Great Vacant Lot of Malibu

Having watched the evolution of environmentalism among liberal Democrats in the Los Angeles area over the last 45 years, it’s really hard to take seriously the notion that modern liberalism is about Hope and Change and Opportunity and Equality and the Masses. It’s a lot more about: We’ve got a good thing here and we’re going to keep it.


For example, movie director and Democratic Party stalwart Rob Reiner, who played Meathead on All In the Family, is currently opposing a Republican politician / developer’s plan to build a Whole Foods organic grocery store on part of the giant empty field in the middle of downtown Malibu.

Modern culture is trying to waste your life.

In personal life, there is a very strong social ethic to put-off getting married, and to put-off having children - it is regarded as bizarre for a middle class or upper class woman to marry and have a family at age twenty; for men to want to marry at this age is regarded as just insane.

For modern culture the 'important things' are what we are supposed to do when putting-off the real things -

high living, partying, travel,
getting drunk, experiencing multiple friendships and love affairs, gathering sexual experiences,
exercising and body-building, sky-diving and bungee-jumping...

That is the Ideal Life, in a secular society - and what a miserable, shallow, corrupting, worthless thing it is.

Bundled Cable TV Deathwatch: Ratings Plunge.

Turner Broadcasting is implementing a mass staff cut of about 1,500 positions..

What truly terrifies the multi-nationals that own most of the cable networks is the loss of carriage or affiliate fees -- that's the money dozens of low-rated networks earn just for being a part of your cable package.

Whether you watch crap like CNN or MTV or not, they are making money off of you. Currently, these appalling carriage/affiliate fees are more profitable for these networks than advertising revenue. This makes sense when you realize that although no one watches CNN, it is still available in somewhere around a 100 million homes.

Bundled cable is nothing more than left-wing affirmation action that allows junk like CNN and MTV to survive and enter our homes even though we hate it. Streaming is changing all that, and for the better -- both culturally and for our pocketbook.

Kenyans win another Marathon. PED's? (Performance enhancing drugs)

African countries like Kenya have dominated the major marathon scene for years, and Sunday’s New York City Marathon was no different. It was a Kenyan sweep when Wilson Kipsang and Mary Keitany finished first and grabbed their $100,000 paychecks.

But when Rita Jeptoo, a Kenyan who has won the Boston Marathon three times and the Chicago Marathon twice, failed an initial doping screening last month for the endurance-boosting substance EPO, it raised questions about the credibility of every Kenyan winner.
