GALENA, Mo. (AP) - A woman who killed her ex-husband by dousing him with gasoline and setting him on fire has been sentenced to 25 years in prison.

After watching a "Waiting to Exhale" marathon on Lifetime, Barbara Ann Banning, 60, poured fuel on her ex-husband while he was sitting in a recliner recovering from knee surgery. She then lit a piece of newpaper on a stove, threw it at him, and then bounced.

Neighbors put out the flames, but Fred Bounous died hours later.

"Yes I want him to die, and I hope he burns in HELL!" said Banning, who pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and first-degree arson.

Public defender Brian Smith said Banning snapped after years of emotional and physical abuse. Bounous' relatives have questioned the abuse claims. "I mean, he once gave her the clap, but I never thought she'd try to burn him back."

"No matter what the relationship was like in the past, there was no evidence the defendant was pushed into that situation." prosecutor Robert George said.

A study has been published revealing something that alot of people have suspected for a long time ( unless you happen to be one of these muthafuckas in the study ). Alot of college graduates are fucking stupid. Unfortunately, the main people who suspected this all along, are not college graduates and their boss is that dumb ass they've always known was a dumb fuck. But since they have no degree and arent in charge of shit; they have to endure the troubles of being managed by some one who cant even compare the cost of food per ounce. Living with the fact that the only reason that this jack ass is their boss or supervisor or what have you, is because they have that little piece of paper. .

Al-Qaida leader, Osama Bin Laden has a new mixed tape that just hit the streets of Egypt. In his latest installment, of course he goes with the usual threats of bloodshed of the infidels yap yap yap. But this time, he dishes out a twist. A Truce! Say word?

Osama says that the road to peace would include the the United States apologizing to the victims of the wars theyve caused and promise never to interfere in other nations affairs. Ummm yea right. Way to try to look like youre taking the high road. We'd probably all want the US to stop fucking around in other countries. But it aint gonna happen, until somebody really really makes them. And clearly flying airplanes into buildings isnt enough to stop them. So Osama, youre gonna have to try harder than that. Or better yet, just save your self the time, because all of BadBoys 90's hits are on G Dubs famed "iPod One". ( i thought i told you that we dont stop... )

Dispite the treats of further violence, the White House is clearly "Neva Scared". White House press secretary Scott McClellan said "The United States does not negotiate with terrorist, We put them out of business." Strong words, considering the fact that its been how long and Osama is still putting out tapes? There have been claims that this Al-Qaida leader was either killed or captured, but these niggas are still making threats, putting out tapes and still pulling off bullshit. McClellan also offered personal closing thoughts about the newest tape with the truce, "... and when you see Osama, tell him i said suck MY dick too!.... WHAT?!?" solidifying his gangster amongst the other White House officials im sure.

As for the the actual threats, US counter terrorist officials said there is no creditable evidence that an attack is pending. But they've been wrong before.

Almost, but not yet at least. Its reported that the board of directors over at famed HipHop Magazine, The Source, are trying to push Dave Mays and punk ass Benzino out the door, as all of HipHop begins to grin. But careful to not get our hopes up because the cunning, crafty and rather janky duo of mays and we will call him zino, Have put a temporary restraining order on the board members to prevent reciving that preverbal timberland to the ass.

The board members are claiming that mays and zino are basiclly running the company into the ground. Everybody knows about them getting evicted from their offices a few months ago. Employees are pissed, Readers are pissed, Publishers are pissed, Vendors are pissed, and investors are really fuckin' pissed. The magazine defaulted on an $18 Million dollar loan from a company called Textron Financial Partners( anybody ever heard of these niggas? ). Of course Textron is pissed off about this and have filed a lawsuit against The Source, asking the courts to place the magazine into receivership. (Bankruptcy Bitches!). The Magazine is also in dept $9 - $12 Million to various vendors. What a buncha fuck ups. We wont even mention what they owe to the hiphop community for a history of fuck ups, payola, saturating the magazine with benzino and hangmen ads that nobody wanted to see nor supported. Giving undeserved mics to muthafuckas, all kinda shit. We wont go there.

But i can tell you this, if mays and zino are ousted, i for one will be purchasing me a copy of the source, just because!

WASHINGTON - A suspect in the beating death of New York Times reporter David Rosenbaum turned himself in to police Thursday night after TV stations broadcast surveillance images showing his face using Mr. Roenbaum's credit card.

HAMPTON, Virginia -- A newlywed couple's best man was sentenced to nine years in prison for torching the groom's house during the honeymoon.

Joseph T. Overton pleaded guilty in October to arson and manufacture of explosive devices. He was sentenced Wednesday and ordered to repay insurance companies that paid claims on the fire. The home is being rebuilt.

Overton was the best man at the wedding of Anthony and Shannon Williams two days before the explosions last April.

Williams said he and Overton had argued a year before the fire, after he told Overton's wife that Overton had been cheating on her. After a thorough ass whoopin’, the men supposedly patched things up and Overton toasted the couple at their wedding. When asked for comment, Overton responded “I’d do it again, too!! You don’t snitch on your man! And if he got something else to say, I’ll PISS on his cat!”

Anthony Williams said he was satisfied with the punishment. "He feels sorry for this, I know he does… I mean, if you got caught in everything you did, you’d be sorry too, right? Plus, it’s better than any gift his broke ass could have gotten me… I get a brand new house." he said.

Circuit Court Judge Von Piersall could have sentenced Overton to life in prison. Instead, he opted for 9 years and 500 written pages of “cheaters never win.”

ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor was fined $17,000 Monday by the NFL for spitting in the face of Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Michael Pittman in response to being called an "African Booty Scratcher."

Jack Abramoff, the once-powerful lobbyist at the center of a wide-ranging public corruption investigation, pleaded guilty yesterday to fraud, tax evasion, not giving a fuck about the law, and conspiracy to bribe public officials in a deal that requires him to rat out all the members of congress he paid off, especially Tom DeLay.

In West Virginia, a mine blew the hell up and people were inside. So now everybody is thinking this is going to be a bad year. Then there was news that 12 of the 13 minors survived. Three hours later, they were told that opps, I meant 12 of the 13 families were dead. Well lets talk about the real tragedy. Perhaps you heard of a little something called the BCS. Well the 2005-2006 college football season was topped off by a great game between USC and Texas. In fact, every game over the last week has been a nail bitter. And these miners missed every great game. That sucks. These games need to be played earlier so that miners can watch the game during their x-mas break. In fact, not only would playing the games earlier be a benefit to miners, but to all workers across America. So sorry miners that blown mine caused you to miss some great football; games that would blow your mind.

Today, two of Americas allies in the fight for oil. I mean, well. Fuck it what ever reason they are over there fighting. I dont think anybody really knows anymore. Neither does Bulgaria and Ukraine, so they decided to withdraw their record breaking 1,250 troops from Iraq. Oh whatever shall we do? Bulgaria and Ukraine brought their troops who specialized in being hairy speaking poor english and civil war.

The two countries respective troops should be gone by mid december. They would have left last month but they are driving out of Iraq for the most part and gas is even high in iraq, so they had to save a little and pillage a little to get up enough funds to put gas in their hummers and 3 planes, to roll out.

If Australia, Britain, Italy, Japan, Poland and South Korea reduce or recall their personnel, more than half of the non-American forces in Iraq could be gone by next summer. Talk about a bunch of muthafuckas that have a hard time communicating with one another.

It should be noted however, that in March of 2003, the US strolled into Iraq with about 250,000 muthafuckas. All the other countries involved, all together contributed 50,000 troops. Now there are about 160,000 US troops in the region and 24,000 troops from 27 other countries. It should also be noted that the other 24,000 troops or personal rather, are non-combative.

Researchers in Arkansas, of all places, have found a way to convert chicken fat to fuel. Thats right, chicken fat into gas. In an effort to decrease the countries dependency on foreign fuels, the number of chicken hatched and produced in this country will increase70% and they will all be feed mcdonalds and that greasy nasty ass sandwich from burger king.

DALLAS (AP) -- Former Dallas Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin was named the 2005 recipient of the prestigious Darryl Strawberry "Pookie" Award for Crackhead Achievement. The annoncement was made after Irvin was charged with misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. Plano police officers searched his vehicle during a traffic stop and found a crack pipe.

Irvin, an ESPN analyst and semifinalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, told The Associated Press late Sunday that the pipe found in his car belonged to a friend of 17 years who borrowed his car to hang out with Bobby Brown for the night. Irvin refused to name his friend because he "Ain't no damn snitch."

Irvin said he put the pipe in his car because he didn't want it in his house where his wife might smoke up all of his stash. He said he planned to drive somewhere the next day, like a grocery trash bin, then stand behind it and get high one last time before throwing it away for good.

Ok so I really think that the writers for Desparate Housewives need a nomination for the Heros of Insensitivity award due to the storyline which basically has a black family on the block who have locked up thier 'developmentally disabled' son in the basement.

ANNY way, apparantly, on the set actor Page Kennedy, who played the shadowy Caleb, aka the Guy in Betty's Basement, was evicted from Desperate Housewives, ABC confirmed Tuesday due to inappropriate behavior. Which of course can only be speculated upon at this moment.

Kennedy's final appearance will be on this Sunday's episode. Previews show his character escaping from his basement chains and running wild through Wisteria Lane.

Backlash aside, Housewives is still the second-most watched show on TV behind CSI, averaging nearly 25 million viewers a week.
