Rep. Kevin McCarthy should be ashamed. By joining a chorus of Republicans calling for rollbacks to women's health care, environmental protections and support for the poor, McCarthy proved himself to be yet another cowardly politician only capable of serving those able to write a check rather than the entirety of his constituency.
Kern County consistently ranks in the upper tiers of several less-than-admirable lists, including teen pregnancy rates, STD transmission and asthma prevalence. At the same time, we rank poorly on air quality, education and income.
By voting to support the House budget more than a week ago, McCarthy said "yes" to exacerbating the social ills already tearing at the fabric of our county. Funding for low-income patients needing cancer screening, STD testing and treatment, and contraceptives? Cut. Child support for working families? Cut. Environmental protections aimed at cleaning our air and water? Cut.
The livelihoods of many of the residents of Kern County were deemed less important than preserving $4 billion in oil subsidies and implementing a program to provide contraceptives for wild horses. Yes, horses.
Discretionary spending in the U.S. is but a fraction of the total budget. Without addressing the problems of Medicare, Medicaid, defense spending and Social Security, all other actions are tantamount to a political grandstand. By showing that he and his colleagues are unwilling to tackle the big problems and only target the weak, McCarthy proved himself to be yet another cowardly politician uninterested in anyone unable to write a check.

Kevin Nash stated during an interview with La Nación in Puerto Rico that he is presently negotiating with TNA Wrestling regarding a return to the organization.
Sources close to both sides indicate he has negotiated on and off with the company since his contract expired last October. It was recently reported that he agreed to a deal, but stated that someone in the office said he would be returning before a deal could be reached.

It wasn't surprising to me that Britney Spears fell for Kevin Federline. Though he was a douche bag, he was a pretty hot guy. Let's face the facts, ladies: many of us have fallen for that combination before. But now, there's absolutely nothing to be desired with K-Fed. While Britney Spears is once again becoming fabulous, Kevin Federline is becoming FAT...and no, that's not with a "P.H." Britney Spears baby daddy was spotted at Ryan Sheckler X Games Celebrity Classic carrying a wide load. Yes, that is his pot belly in the photo below! I see a new nickname in his future. K-Fat, anyone??? Kevin Federline's first baby mamma, Shar Jackson, said of the weight gain, "It's daddy weight! When you are a full time parent, sometimes you can't focus on you. If gaining a few pounds is your only problem, life's not too bad!" I have no doubt that parents are bound to gain weight. Taking care of your kids is a full-time job, and unfortunately you don't have the time to put yourself first. But the key word here is, "taking care of your kids". How often does K-Fat, I mean K-Fed, do this? This loser is off making flop-albums, dating ex-volleyball players and collecting $20,000 a month from Brit-Brit. Someone get Celebrity Fit Club on the phone, stat! Sounds like a joke, but we all know they really will be calling him soon.Kevin Federline's new size - There's junk in the trunk
