Kevin Love

There is a new star in the horizon and the bankruptcy attorneys, who had been dazzled by its brilliance, know for sure that it isn’t going to fizzle out any soon. The star in question is Kevin Love, the blistering power forward of the Minnesota Timberwolves. In fact, all those who had the chance to see him perform against the Eastern All-Stars couldn’t agree more.

A Rising Star

Here’s what the bankruptcy attorneys are gushing about. It all happened during the NBA All-Star festivities on Saturday night.

Kevin Love Scores Over Kevin Durant

The much-hyped duel between Kevin Love and Kevin Durant ended with Love beating his rival from the Thunder to win the 3-Point Shootout. Though Love displayed superlative action all throughout the game, he still was made to sweat by Durant. In fact, he had to pull through a tiebreaker in the first round and survive a last few blistering shots from Durant to eventually pull off a 17-14 win. Love, this year has scored about 25 points per game, averaged 9.9 rebounds per game, and connected on 49 of 141 3-point shootouts for the Timberwolves. So bankruptcy attorneys have ample reasons to cheer for him.

Athletes who are Respectable

The good thing about Love and Durant is that unlike Kobe Bryant, they are both likable and athletes worth cheering for.

Go Timberwolves

Many people believe that Love has justified his All-Star selection, which he clinched last season, and with other power forwards like Blake Griffin and LaMarcus Aldridge. All three look to become the perennial All-Stars in the Western Conference. Love is only 23 and has years of action in front of him. Here’s wishing him many more accolades and hopefully he can bring Minnesota an NBA championship.

Neil deGrasse Tyson

As the financial system in America still struggles and is just managing to limp back on the road to recovery slightly and certainly not good enough, it is only natural that bankruptcy attorneys feel weighed down by the concerns still plaguing the economy. But even in the midst of all this, they have made the time to catch up on the television appearances of astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. Well, if they are not, plenty of people have watched Tyson on TV. With 30,000,000 unemployed people, watching TV is what many people spend their time doing.

A Skill he Possesses

Bankruptcy attorneys hold Tyson in high regard, not only because of the immense wealth of knowledge he possesses, but also for his gift of the gab and his almost uncanny ability to express complex scientific jargon and concepts in the most lucid and readily comprehensible language. Perhaps he can explain why many Americans do not see that America is sitting on a financial precipice and wasting billions of dollars on broken programs such as Medicaid is harming their country. 

Neil deGrasse Tyson Makes a Thought-Provoking Suggestion

Neil deGrasse Tyson has suggested a solution that he believes will relieve NASA of all its present troubles. He has proposed increasing the funding for this space agency and bankruptcy attorneys think that his solution is a reflection of his belief that the way ahead for the nation lies in furthering the cause of science. This is a belief that he has consistently been propounding on all the television shows he has recently appeared on—The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Bill Mahr’sReal Time, and in an interview to Alan Boyle on MSNBC. He should go on Bill O’Reilly whose ratings beat all three of theirs combined.

Right on Tyson

According to Tyson, with a budget increase, NASA will be able to carry out many of its projects – technological development, planetary probes, and space explorations and these in turn, will enrich the pool of scientific knowledge of the nation. This sounds like a wonderful idea; too bad the current administration would rather waste money on unproven science and mismanaged companies such as Solyndra.

Bankruptcy attorneys had made it a point to wrap up their work early and catch the final episode of The Bachelor, the reality dating show that had a few people speculating on who would Ben Flajnik pop the question to – Lindzi Cox or Courtney Robertson.

More Fish in the Sea

The grand finale of The Bachelor saw Courtney Robertson walking away with the “prize catch.” Ben Flajnik – at the start of the show there were 25 women vying for his affections and nod of approval. While bankruptcy attorneys differ in their opinion about Flajnik’s choice, they are unanimous on one point – Lindzi Cox may have been sorely disappointed at losing out to Robertson but she has been very graceful. She may be a defeated reality show star but she has definitely won the hearts of Americans. There is always a chance she can meet a male secretary in Washington D.C. who makes $120,000 a year and only works about 30 hours a week taking notes and doing some pleasant research.

Lindzi Cox Speaks to Jimmy Kimmel

Jimmy Kimmel Live

After her loss to Courtney Robertson, Lindzi, 27 years old and a business development manager in Seattle, had appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live. When asked about her feelings after going so far and being pipped at the post, Cox graciously answered, “It was a good ending. Like everything happens – I’m happy for them.” And although she seemed disappointed after having won over Flajnik’s mother and sister in an earlier episode, Cox made clear that she harbored no ill feelings and wished only the very best for the couple.

Lindzi Cox was candid in her interview and admitted that after getting to know the result, it was indeed difficult for her to watch the show. Bankruptcy attorneys feel for her.

Jon Benet Ramsey

It’s been more than 15 years since the bizarre murder of 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey, a toddler who was famous for her beauty pageant appearances and winning several titles as well. The case still remains unsolved. But bankruptcy attorneys have not forgotten JonBenet and nor can they help frequently wonder if there was a way the little girl’s death could have been prevented. Why parents would put makeup on a 6 year old child is another ridiculous act altogether. There are many people who shun and reject toddler beauty pageants.

A Dead Child

With JonBenet Ramsey always on their minds, it is only natural that the bankruptcy attorneys would be interested to know what her father, John Ramsey had said to the media about his daughter, who was cruelly snatched away from him so soon.

JonBenet Ramsey’s Father Lambasts Child Beauty Pageants

Regret was evident in John Ramsey’s voice and demeanor as he opened his heart to the media about his daughter and his book “The Other Side of Suffering”where he talks about his life. John Ramsey was harsh on child beauty pageants and expressed his concern about the burgeoning of these “kiddie pageant” reality shows that only served to rob children of their childhood. He said although he and his wife Patsy once viewed these as only “fun” and thus let JonBenet take part, he now regrets having done so. Evidently, he has realized that it is not natural for a little girl to wear layers of makeup and don high heels and puffy dresses when she should be splashing about in the mud. This point was also made above.

Who murdered this child?

The hearts of bankruptcy attorneys go out to this grieving father and they hope that JonBenet Ramsey’s case deters parents from pushing their daughters to take part in shows like Toddlers & Tiaras. Well, who is the culprit?

Deron Williams

Bankruptcy attorneys knew they could expect fireworks in the NBA game between the New Jersey Nets and the Charlotte Bobcats. And that’s what they got – a blistering display from the Nets point guard Deron Williams who almost singlehandedly steered his team to a huge win and in the process, rewrite some records. Williams scored a career-high 57 points in the game and gave the Nets a lead and a win after they were trailing the Bobcats at halftime.

A Point Guard who can Score

Deron Williams’ performance reminded bankruptcy attorneys of the time, 20 years ago, when Reggie Miller, from the Indiana Pacers, scored 57 points against the Hornets. The difference here is that Miller was a natural shooter, Williams is not. But obviously Williams is a fabulous point guard.

Deron Williams’ Performance Gives Rise to Comparisons

Fans of the game and critics found some eerie points of similarity between Deron Williams’ performance and what Reggie Miller achieved 20 years back. For instance, both players made 16 out of 29 shots from the field and 4 out of 11 shots from behind the arc. Bankruptcy attorneys too rake their memories of the game back in 1992 and chip in with these facts – Miller had 8 assists and 5 rebounds while Williams had 7 and 6, respectively. Both players made 21 free throws but while Miller missed two FTAs, Williams was spot-on with all.

Charlotte’s GM Michael Jordan Struggling

The game against the Charlotte Bobcats was a nail-biting fare, more so because a victory for the Nets was never quite secure. However, Williams was ably supported by his teammates. Meanwhile, the Bobcats might be wondering what is it in their play that makes opponent players get away with so many points – incidentally, Kobe Bryant had scored 58 points at their expense in 2006.

The problem with Kobe is that no one likes him though.

Kirk Cameron

If it is not a Rush Limbaugh or a Patricia Heaton bashing the socialist Sandra Fluke and speaking the truth, then it is Kirk Cameron hitting out against homosexuality on the Piers Morgan’s show. Bankruptcy attorneys are appalled that someone can just state an opinion and a frenzy erupts because of it.

Cameron is on Point

Kirk Cameron, the former star of Growing Pains, had his take on gay marriage rights and abortion laws, both topics that are currently the rage on the national political scene. Although Cameron just spoke from a morality standpoint, bankruptcy attorneys wonder if morality matters to so many Americans. How can a society be happy about murdering innocent babies?

Kirk Cameron’s Comments and His Defense

There are many who would argue that Kirk Cameron had been too outspoken and too blatant in expressing his views. But Cameron argued that he should be allowed to exercise his freedom of speech – speak his mind without being accused of being hateful or being told to conform to accepted moral standards. When accused of hurting the sensibilities of a specific community, Cameron defended himself on his Facebook page, saying, “I can only say that it is my life’s mission to love all people, and that I expressed the same views that are expressed clearly and emphatically throughout the Judeo-Christian scriptures.”

Jobs & Money

Cameron then called on all to “debate these things with greater love and respect.” Bankruptcy attorneys across the map wish America would realize that killing a child in the name of feminism or a woman having domain over her body is immoral and terribly irresponsible. This is a huge subject but a larger subject is why America sends billions of dollars to Saudi Arabia every week when America is sitting on huge amounts of energy of its own?

Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali, known as “The Greatest” in the world of boxing, is their hero. Bankruptcy attorneys just can’t gush enough about their idol who lost only twice in his seven prizefights in Las Vegas in a career spanning about two decades and is showing the same grit and determination as he battles his neurological disease.

For Charity

The boxer’s 70^th birthday was celebrated with much fanfare at MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Many celebrities joined in the event which also saw a fundraising dinner for the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health and the Muhammad Ali Center in Kentucky. Bankruptcy attorneys turn their eyes to the celebrations for a heavyweight cause. Too bad he Ali does not have the stamina or knowledge to attack the nation’s president for not doing what it takes to lower the unemployment rate well below 8.0%. 8.3% is just not good enough. Ali fought against the Vietnam War, too bad he did not speak about the current travesty.

Muhammad Ali’s 70^th Birthday Celebrations Brings together Luminaries from Different Spheres

The star-studded gathering at Muhammad Ali’s birthday celebrations read like a Who’s Who list of the entertainment and sporting worlds. Gracing the event were luminaries from the tinsel town like Sir Anthony Hopkins, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Davi, James Gandolfini, and Terrence Howard. Lenny Kravitz, Quincy Jones, Chris Issak, Sean Combs, Kelly Rowland, and LL Cool J were the representatives from the world of music, while the sporting world was represented by David Beckham, Jim Brown,Leon Spinks, Franco Harris and Andre Agassi. There were also some boxing stars: Evander Holyfield and Sugar Ray Leonard who attended. Holyfield may need charity as well soon.

Some Kind Words

President Barrack Obama too dropped by, via a video message that said, “Happy birthday champ. As a fighter, you were something spectacular. You shocked the world, and you inspired it, too.” It is ironic that his party was also for charity and this president has increased the need for charity across this country. And bankruptcy attorneys know all about what this president’s friends such as Barnie Frank have done.

Ali was an incredible fighter but now America is in another fight that many of these celebrities do not recognize.

Magic Johnson

Bankruptcy attorneys and avid basketball fans still remember that day, 20 years ago, when their hero Magic Johnson announced to the world that he was HIV-positive and that he was not going to play for LA Lakers any more. Not only fans of this great player but also an entire generation who had been spellbound by his on-court prowess and off-field persona, was left shaken by his announcement. Many people felt terrible for Magic but not his team the Lakers who are in a big market and NBA brass have aided in winning championships more than once.

ESPN’s Tribute

It was the height of the AIDS epidemic at that time and there were many bankruptcy attorneys amongst the viewers that day who were certain that Magic Johnson would soon die. But he has fought on, away from the public eye and the glare of the media. His trials and tribulations, for the first time, will be brought to light in an ESPN documentary, “The Announcement.”

Magic Johnson and “The Announcement”

Magic Johnson was an athlete extraordinaire and a player beyond all comparisons. After hanging up his Adidas or other brand of athletic shoes, he carried his larger-than-life persona from the court to his immensely successful entrepreneurial ventures and continued his involvement with the sport via ESPN’s NBA programs. Meanwhile, there was always an interest in how he was coping with his disease. ESPN’s documentary “The Announcement” is an attempt to answer this question.

A Two Decade Fight

Bankruptcy attorneys are excited about the documentary, which is going to air some rare Magic Johnson footage from the NBA archives and the attorneys hope to relive these great on-court moments. But they are more eager to know how their hero has spent his life battling a terrible disease for 20 years.

Stephen Colbert

Even in the midst of their frenzied schedules, some bankruptcy attorneys make it a point to catch TheColbert Report, the witty and incisive political satire hosted by comedian and famous liberal Stephen Colbert who has never had any problem with the current president wasting billions of tax payer dollars via the Dept. of Energy and boondoggle energy schemes. The show is aired on Comedy Central.

A Biased Show is Gone

So they were quite surprised when they tuned in to the channel on Wednesday and discovered that the show had been taken off the air. The producers cited “unforeseen circumstances” for withholding the telecast. Bankruptcy attorneys also got to know that the ticketholders to the show were informed, via e-mail, at the eleventh hour about the cancellation; many of them had already reached the New York City studio where the show was to be filmed. The attorneys, prone as they are to reading between lines, wonder what could have prompted the producers to take this one sided show off the air.

The Colbert Report

The Colbert Report is one of the most popular shows on Comedy Central which does not say much. On Wednesday morning too, there was no inkling of the things to come. For instance, the customary tweet announcing what is to come on the show went out to followers even on Wednesday morning. “Watch Stephen help shape the message of Colbert Super PAC with the help of political strategist Frank Luntz,” read the tweet. The tweet obviously had some loyal fansand bankruptcy attorneys waiting with bated breath. And then came the disappointment.

Honesty Matters

Meanwhile, speculations are rife as to what may be the reason behind The Colbert Report going dark – is Colbert ill, has his relations soured with the network, has the show been cancelled, or has Colbert gone off to Afghanistan. These speculations will be laid to rest only when the show returns with some answers.

Lenny Dykstra

Former New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies star, business owner, and a financial guru, took a wrong turn in the past few years. Lenny Dykstra filed for bankruptcy back in 2010. He is certainly not a financial guru now and it is hard to believe that many people were taken in by him, including some bankruptcy attorneys.

Spent too Much

At that time, the baseball great was fighting to save his palatial mansion, worth a whopping $17.4 million, from being confiscated by the authorities. He had vowed that he would make a comeback, like the countless other times he had done on the field. The bankruptcy attorneys were impressed by his grit and truly hoped that the bad times would come to an end for their baseball hero.

Lenny Dykstra falls to great depths in his attempt to reach the highest financial plateaus

Lenny Dykstra had one dream – to “be a billionaire, so … bad, buy all of the things I never had.” He wanted to be featured on the cover of Forbes and be counted amongst the likes of Oprah Winfrey. But bankruptcy attorneys are shocked to learn that in his overwhelming desire to climb to the top of the riches ladder, Lenny Dykstra had fallen to amazing lows.

Last Monday, Dykstra was found guilty of theft and fraud and sentenced to three years in prison. He has been charged with grand theft auto and presenting false financial documents. Dykstra and his accomplices were caught trying to sell off leased cars by claiming credit from fictitious businesses.

Greed and Avarice

Dykstra’s woes are far from being over – he still faces charges on more than a dozen criminal counts such as fraud, federal bankruptcy, and impeding the process of justice. This is truly a fall for a three-time All-Star – from sporting glory to criminal ignominy.
