“Bill Clinton Gives Sean Penn $500K For Haiti”

The ReadyWriter

Former president Bill Clinton, gave $500,000 to actor and humanitarian Sean Penn (Not Wyclef Jean), for Haiti toward continued earthquake relief efforts.

It is important to note: that former president Clinton didn’t even consider giving that money to singer Wyclef Jean, who has proven himself to be a greedy, attention seeking opportunist.

The Clinton Foundation gave $500,000 to Penn’s charity, J/P Haitian Relief Organisation.

The donated money will be used to provide bridge funding for a camp in Petionville, which is run by the organization.

Penn, 50, told People.com: ‘The support of President Clinton and the Clinton Foundation is an extraordinary boost in our organization’s ability to continue its work in Haiti. [link]

 “From the beginning the Clinton Foundation’s staff and leadership have generously shared expertise and essential logistical support,” Penn said, who spent 6 months helping out in a refugee camp.

“New Eddie Long Billboard Stirs Controversy”

The ReadyWriter

I’m seeing that Bishop Eddie Long think it’s all about him.

He has a new billboard near highway I-75/85 in Atlanta, GA, which reads: “Love Like Him – Live Like Him – Lead Like Him” and as you can see, it features a picture of himself, dressed like the average Joe.

So whom is he referring to? God or himself?

What baffles me is, Bishop Long is in the middle of a lawsuit, filed by 4 young men siting “inappropriate sex”, yet he focuses on and continues to, bring attention to himself; not his church and not God but himself.

I wonder if this is, the pride before the fall.

“The Bishop’s Alias Was Dick Tracy”

The ReadyWriter

That’s the name Bishop Eddie Long used when he was traveling and checking into lavish hotels with his young male church members. The men flew on Long’s personal jet and shared a bed with him at hotels.

However, the bulk of the relations occurred on the megachurch’s property, including inside Long’s “guest house” on Snapfinger Road in south DeKalb, GA.

The plaintiffs, Anthony Flagg, 21, and Maurice Robinson, 20, began having inappropriate relations with Eddie Long at the age of 16, which is the legal age of consent in Georgia, said their attorney B.J. Bernstein.

The suits allege that Long chose the plaintiffs to be his “Spiritual Sons,” a program that allegedly includes other young men from the church.

“Spiritual Sons are taken on public and private jets to U.S. and international destinations, housed in luxury hotels and given access to numerous celebrities including entertainment stars and politicians,” the suit alleges.

Flagg moved into a home owned by another New Birth pastor when he was a high school junior, according to the suit, where Long would sometimes share a bed with him. Flagg was eventually put on the church’s payroll, his suit alleges, with Long personally delivering his pay checks.

Flagg’s suit says that Long presided over a spiritual “covenant” ceremony between the two of them.

“It was essentially a marriage ceremony, with candles, exchange of jewelry, and biblical quotes,” Bernstein said Tuesday. “The bishop [told] him I will always have your back and you will always have mine.”

This is really sick!!

The suits allege that various staff members working for Long, his church and the Longfellows Academy — which the suit describes as an offshoot ministry of New Birth — “knew of Defendant Long’s sexually inappropriate conduct and did nothing to warn or protect [the plaintiffs].”
