| Lo Fun Fact #1 |
| "Lolita Files" is my real name. It is not a pen name, as incredible as that may seem. There are plenty of Files family members and people who have known me for years capable of validating this. As for the "Lolita" part, my mother named me after the movie based on Nabokov's book, although she saw or read neither. To this day, she has no idea what a "Lolita" is. |
| Lo Fun Fact #2 |
| I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes. If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Mr. Chicken (my favorite spot in Cleveland) and a pair of
Christian Louboutins. |
| Lo Fun Fact #3 |
| Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi (preferably Pepsi Jazz Caramel Cream). Better yet, how about not show up at all? |
| Lo Fun Fact #4 |
| I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay? |
| Lo Fun Fact #5 |
| I love the internet!!! I love communicating through the internet!!! You can e-mail me and odds are I'll e-mail you right back (if I'm not in the middle of a major project). Makes up for my hangup about the phone, doesn't it? See, I'm not so bad after all!!! |
| Lo Fun Fact #6 |
| I can't stand IMing. Please don't IM me. You will get the cold shoulder. I don't like giving people the cold shoulder, so please don't put me in that position. |
| Lo Fun Fact #7 |
I have four five six wonderful, slap-happy dogs, a bird (some kind of dove/pigeon mix), and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs, bird, and cat, we'll be instant friends. If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five six dogs, a bird, and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond. |

In the wake of Golf Channel commentator Kelly Tilghman's suspension for saying that the only way the new generation of golfers will have a chance at winning against the juggernaut that is Tiger Woods is to "lynch him in a back alley," Golfweek Magazine took things to their next illogical level with this madness...
Yeah. Okay.
Says the head fool in charge:"We knew that image would grab attention, but I didn't anticipate the enormity of it," [Golfweek editor Dave] Seanor said. "There's been a huge, negative reaction. I've gotten so many e-mails. It's a little overwhelming." No shit, Sherlock. I personally think this cat just wanted an excuse to whip out a pic of a noose (in honor of MLK's birthday, no less!!!). The golf world can say what it wants, but as a historically white elite sport, they're none too happy about a blackish man dominating for so damn long.
I guess when all else fails against an indomitable opponent of color, you pull the race card. Just ask this woman...
Update: The idiota who came up with this ridik magazine cover just got fired. Happy MLK weekend, y'all!!!

And yet the younguns of today want to say racism is dead because they don't always see the signs. Be ever vigilant, people......lest it happen all over again.

I don't care what the editor of Golfweeks says. That noose cover was done to incite. Pure and simple.

I.CANT.BELIEVE.THAT.DUMB.SHIT.
All hell should break loose on that magazine. I'm going to circulate this post to every person in all my address books. yahoo gmail hotmail aol..hell i may even spam this message out.
WTF?!
I thought my post was right on time for MLK day...yours has taken it next level. THANKS ALOT!

The editor got fired? There is justice in America! At least during Martin Luther King's birthday week.

Anyone who has seen the Great Debaters had lynching brought graphically to their attention. Now to see this crap.... I'm tellin' ya, every single day I see items in the news which make me believe in the essential truth of Naomi Wolf's new book "The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot." We are well down the path of a Fascist Shift in this country...and don't think that it's all gonna change come election time...what makes you think they gonna let anybody they don't like into the Big House? They just stole two elections, and I got a bad feeling about November....if it ain't a landslide, they will do what they can to steal it again. Probably the most important election in our nation's history. Please buy a copy of her short book, read it and give it to a friend, and tell them to give it to a friend....very important people!

I guess his ass was the one who got the noose!
