Duke Lacrosse Scandal: Stick To The Facts (Part 2)

It appears the the alleged gang rape of a black stripper by three Duke University lacrosse players in April of this year is a sham that has been perpetrated by Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong in an attempt to drum up publicity for his political future. The investigation into this alleged crime has yet to turn up any credible evidence showing that the woman in question was ever raped.

There has been nothing but inconsistent statements by both of the strippers who were at the party, sloppy police work and an obvious attempt by the prosecution to play the race card in order to draw attention to this case. In the mean time, the three accused players have suffered irreparable damage to their reputations even though a person is supposed to be innocent until proven guilty.

As I have said before, if this had been a white stripper accusing three white men of rape this case would not have received the national, front page exposure that it has. Mike Nifong should be ashamed of himself and the citizens of Durham should be outraged by the highly questionable actions of this individual.

Coffee and the Comfy Chairs




Today the Viddy clan took a break from shopping at the Coronado Mall to enjoy the ambiance, fine coffee and of course, the comfy chairs at
Satellite Coffee up on Louisiana Avenue. This location by far has the nicest staff of any of the local coffee joints I have visited since moving to Albuquerque. This is not to say that there are not other friendly baristas in the area, I am just saying that this place has the nicest staff of the places I have personally visited. The quad espresso was pretty damn good and so was the music.

But what has always fascinated me about the Satellite Coffee franchise is the comfy chairs. It is worth a visit just to sit down and relax in them. My god, it is just a simple thing but I can never say enough about their comfy chairs.

So whether you live here or just plan to visit, take my advice and visit a Satellite Coffee location here in the Duke City.

Kiss Kiss Darling

We got it going on down here in the Duke City. Ladies and gentlemen, come to Albuquerque. Where the chili is hot and the bitches (or should I say women) are even hotter. We are a city just waiting to explode and claim its spot as one of America's finest mid-size city.

We are kind of like Portland, Oregon except we have a shitty public transit system with terrible drivers and our downtown is nothing to write home about but it beats the hell out of living in Reno, Nevada or anywhere in the Midwest.

But don't take my word for it, come visit and see for your own damn self. Tell them Viddy sent you.
