Ahhh poor baby upset because someone else got offered a book deal..

I was unaware that there was a time limit on writing books. My book distribution company would be interested to read about these newly discovered standards. Can you point them out to me somewhere?

So the evil parents of Trayvon Martin sued the HOA and obviously were right with their suit as there was a settlement, and they were accused of making money off of the death of their son, but it's OK that this woman can write a book off of the death of Trayvon.

She was running her mouth 5 minutes after the verdict. She's nothing more than an attention seeking wh*re who is using Trayvon's death for publicity and her own financial gain.

You could call it "blood money". That's a little different. "Emotional Damage".

CNN is a business, a corporation, that's what corporations are supposed to do.

Just because the business is media doesn't make it any different than any other business.

People also are supposed to go out and make money.. How does them being a corporation make it ok to do what individuls shouldnt be able to do?
