Gus Kramer, Contra Costa assessor: Deals, deeds and doubts
Saturday 26th of May 2012 03:25:00 PM
Posted by admin / Under Kramer Guitar
| Contra Costa Tax Assessor Gus Kramer used an arcane real estate transaction known as a gift deed to acquire millions of dollars worth of property in the county during the past decade despite an ethics law limiting gifts to a few hundred dollars a year that a public official can accept from any one person. Public records show Kramer obtained full or partial title to seven properties from 2000 to 2010 for which no money changed hands and no real estate transfer taxes were paid. Kramer didn't list three of those properties on his annual ethics disclosure statements, as required... |

| New York City violated a teacher's constitutional right to due process when it removed her from the classroom for eliciting vulgar words from students during a lesson about HIV and AIDS, a federal judge ruled yesterday. After being put on administrative duty for eight months for allegedly causing the group of eighth graders "mental distress" and violating a regulation prohibiting "verbal abuse," Faith Kramer turned around and accused the Board of Education of violating her First Amendment and due process rights. While Eastern District Judge Jack B. Weinstein held that Ms. Kramer's speech was not constitutionally protected, he agreed that... |

| Many of the fake documents used by a leading Democratic Party fund-raiser to defraud HSBC and Citigroup Inc were made by his brother-in-law, U.S. prosecutors said on Friday. Authorities arrested and charged Shahin Kashanchi, brother-in-law of indicted fund-raiser Hassan Nemazee, who donated to the presidential campaigns of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and other leading Democrats over the years. Nemazee pleaded not guilty on Wednesday in Manhattan federal court to defrauding a total of three banks -- Bank of America was the other -- out of $292 million in loan proceeds. "Based on e-mail traffic between Kashanchi and Nemazee, Kashanchi was... |

| Olympian Sven Kramer was none too happy with a local NBC reporter asking him to identify himself in their interview. On the heels of Netherlands speedskater Sven Kramer taking the gold medal in the men's 5000m, a local NBC reporter says to Kramer, "I need you to say your name, your country and what you just won here." Kramer's response? "Are you stupid? Hell no, I'm not gonna do that." On the one hand, the NBC reporter can be heard in the background saying, "For tape identification" but on the other hand... the dude just won a gold medal and,... |

Richards' rant reminds us of 'fragile peace' (LAUGH ALERT)
Saturday 26th of May 2012 03:25:00 PM

| "I'm not a racist. That's what's so insane about this," said Michael Richards on The Late Show With David Letterman, a scant three days after his meltdown during a performance at The Laugh Factory in Los Angeles. A few days later, in a desperate, public relations-fueled effort to rehabilitate his sagging career, he was interviewed on Jesse Jackson's weekly syndicated radio show "Keep Hope Alive" and told the listening public that he was "shattered" by his outburst. Michael is not a racist, his manager would have us believe -- he simply has an anger management problem. His defenders say he's... |

| Festivus just isn't the same this year for self-professed "Seinfeld" fanatic Gov. Jim Doyle. In fact, Doyle said he won't be recognizing the made-up holiday after Michael Richards, aka Kramer, unleashed a string of racial slurs at black patrons during a recent comedy club appearance. "Probably like a lot of people, I'm still sorting out my feelings about it all," Doyle said Friday. "It's pretty hard for me to watch the show right now."That says a lot coming from a governor whose aides are known to watch "Seinfeld" reruns in their spare time so they can keep up with Doyle's... |
"Kramer's" apology opens the door for others (by Larry Elder)

| Here's my holiday wish list: Dear Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, Please accept my apology for launching into a racist tirade against two black hecklers at my comedy show. Because I attacked two blacks in particular, I know this means I harbor deep-seated racist feelings about all blacks. While, in return, I heard words like "f---ing white boy" and "cracker-ass motherf---er," I know those epithets were directed toward me, as an individual, and not at the entire white race. Again, please accept my deepest apologies. Michael Richards, aka "Kramer" of "Seinfeld" |

| If you've only read about the Michael Richards rant, you don't know just how bad it was. Check out the full and unedited on Youtube (www.youtube.com) and then get back to me. It really was a "racist tirade." And it wasn't so much his use of the "n" word, as it was the depth of the historical ideas and images Richards invoked. After being heckled by audience members (who happened to be black) during a stand up performance, Michael Richards (who played the character of Kramer on the show Seinfeld) started spewing racist epithets. Then he dejectedly walked offstage as... |
Kramer Rant Boosts DVD Sales

| It seems that there really is no such thing as bad press -- even press generated by racist tirades. Sales of season seven of "Seinfeld" are up 75% over season six and 90% over season five -- after one week of sales, according to website DVD Empire. Meanwhile, DeepDiscountDVD.com reports a staggering 178% increase over season six. Sales are up despite Jesse Jackson calling for a boycott. Seasons five and six were released on the same day last year. TMZ's video of Michael Richards' hideous harangue was first seen on November 20 -- one day before season seven was released.... |

Jesse Jackson and a number of black leaders are calling on the entertainment industry – and rappers in particular – to permanently retire its use of the N-word. "We want to give our ancestors a present," Jackson said at a news conference in Los Angeles Monday. "Dignity over degradation." The press conference was arranged in response to the Nov. 17 racial rant from former “Seinfeld” star Michael Richards, who used the N-word several times and made other racist remarks to African American men who allegedly heckled him during his stand-up routine... |

| As if the initial scandal wasn't bizarre enough, the aftermath of the controversy just got progressively--how shall we say, a tad askew or maybe "bizarro Jerry." Michael Richard's first reaction to save his name and reputation was a Kramer-esque moment of pure inanity. He decided to appear on David Letterman's Late Show along with Jerry Seinfeld to explain the incident and the "rage" (as opposed to the "burning") that existed within his real life character. The audience held back laughter as Jerry Seinfeld chided them in his new "papa voice" for laughing at what was admittedly a very funny apology.... |

| I’ve never been a fan of Seinfeld, and I’m not very familiar with the characters. When the show went into syndication a few years ago, I began to come across it whenever I did any channel surfing. I don’t know anything about Michael Richards, the guy who played Kramer on the show. When I read about his onstage rant at a comedy club in Hollywood last week, I figured the guy has some serious anger management problems. Anyone who has performed in front of a live audience knows of the danger posed by hecklers; it comes with the territory. Hence, when Mr.... |

"Kramer" Apologizes on Rev. Jackson's Radio Show

Posted by admin / Under Kramer Guitar
| The actor best known as "Kramer" from the show Seinfeld has apologized on Reverand Jesse Jackson's syndicated radio show for a racist outburst he made at a comedy club ten days ago. Michael Richards says it wasn't bigotry, but anger which fueled the swear loaded shoutfest. Richards told Jackson that he never before has used racially charged language, and that the comments he made came through him "like a freight train." Rev. Jackson reacted to the apology by calling the outburst "hateful", but claimed the show was an opportunity for discussions on the entertainment industry's "cultural isolation." |

| What punishment is befitting black men who heckle white comedians? Lynch 'em. That's what Michael Richards, better known as Kramer on "Seinfeld," feels is a proper punishment for the black patrons who had the gall to tell him he wasn't funny during his recent standup act in L.A. On a videotape of the show, Richards yells at the hecklers: "Fifty years ago, we'd have you upside down with a (expletive deleted) fork up your ass." And he didn't stop there. He called the men "niggers" not once, not twice, but a wincing, hammering six times. Stung by the criticism --... |

The men, Frank McBride and Kyle Doss, said they were part of a group of about 20 people who had gathered at West Hollywood's Laugh Factory to celebrate a friend's birthday. According to their attorney, Gloria Allred, they were ordering drinks when Richards berated them for interrupting his act.

| Not nice. It’s time to admit that “diversity” is code for racism. If it makes you feel better, we can call it “nice” racism or “well-intentioned” racism or “racism that’s good for you.” Except that’s the rub: It’s racism that may be good for you if “you” are a diversity guru, a rich white liberal, a college administrator or one of sundry other types. But the question of whether diversity is good for “them” is a different question altogether, and much more difficult to answer. If by “them” you mean minorities such as Jews, Chinese Americans, Indian Americans and other... |

The ad said the crude clay figurines have removable white pointy hoods. The starting bid was listed at 13-77. As of last night, no bids had been placed for the items. An e-Bay spokeswoman told the New York Daily News that the listing violated the company's offensive materials policy and would be taken down. Past offerings removed from the site include a pocket knife with a Klan shield, an antique Klan hood and a T-shirt... |
