A man sitting in a car with a loaded rifle, a machete and a container of
gasoline was arrested Friday in New York ... after authorities
determined he was planning to kill George W. Bush.
44-year old Benjamin Smith
was taken into custody by the Secret Service and charged with
threatening to kill Dubya -- after his mother blew the whistle on him.
According
to reports ... Smith's mother called cops on Thursday saying her rifle
was missing and her son had left a note in the house saying, "I'm going
to work for George W. Bush and the Pentagon. I have to slay a dragon and
then Barbara Bush is mine."
The prosecuting attorney said she believes Smith was talking about Bush's daughter, not his wife.
Bush
and his family were in NYC at the time ... but it's unclear how close
the suspect got to him. Smith allegedly yelled "Bush will get his" as
he was taken into custody.
A lawyer for Smith says the note and outbursts do not constitute a "true threat."
The Home based Super Eagles defeated the Zimbabwe team 1-0 to claim the third place position in the ongoing CHAN 2014.
Christian Obiozor headed home Nigeria’s winner with
five minutes left to play as the Warriors defence failed to clear Ejike
Uzoenyi’s cross.
The ill-tempered game saw the Super Eagles whose wings were clipped
against the Black Stars of Ghana in the semi final began the game with
the intent of getting the early goal by dominating possession right from
the referee’s blast of the whistle while the Zimbabweans seem content
sitting on defence.
Stephen Keshi’s men had the first chance at goal in the fifth minute as
Ibrahim raced down the right side of the Warriors defence but Pyagbara
failed to score from 10 yards as the opponents failed to clear their
line.
Few minutes later, Zimbabwe grew in confidence and almost got the lead.
Mahachi profited from a counterattack, ran down the right side of the
Eagles defence, crossed to the near post but there weren’t players in
the penalty area to take advantage.
However, the biggest highlight came in the 16th minute as Zimbabwe’s
Mambare was sent off for a dangerous play. The Warriors striker failed
in his attempt to connect to an in-flight ball but decided to hit
Chigozie Agbim with his foot raised high.
Even at this numerical disadvantage, Nigeria failed to break down the
defence of the opponent as Ian Gorowa’s men looked rock solid at the
rear coupled with great goalkeeping skills by goalkeeper Chigova.
The West Africans continued in the ascendancy, and were somehow kept out
by a supreme double save from Chigova. Shehu knocked capitalised on a
neat pass to launch a stinging effort at the Zimbabwe captain, who
produced a world-class stop to keep the Warriors in the game.

The veteran actor said to motivate each of his six children, he bought them all cars upon graduation from the university.
"I wanted to motivate them and keep them away from peer pressure.
Parents must be able to motivate their children and set target for them.
The minimum target for each of them was to graduate from higher
institution; their reward upon graduation is a car. And where I come
from, it is important to keep one’s word; I bought the car for each of
them. Yul who is over 30 (pictured above) is the last born and he got his too.” Pete Edochie tells The Nollywood Reporter
The celebrated actor who has been married for over 45 years said his marriage is
about the longest in the industry and he never thought of taking a new wife.
“I married early and have
remained married since then. What am I looking for a second wife for? I
married a woman who gave me six children, what could I possibly be
looking for in another woman that I didn’t get from this woman? There is
no reason for it"
There's NOTHING wrong with whores ... so says Kendra Wilkinson -- who claims the United States should STOP arresting people for prostitution when it involves two consenting adults.
The former Playboy model was wading her way through LAX with hubby Hank Baskett Thursday evening ... when she explained why the laws against hooking are just plain stupid.
For the record, there are parts of the U.S. where
one could legally purchase sex ... but it's clear, Kendra believes ALL
AMERICANS (of age) should be able to pay for ass.
God, she's patriotic
DMX says he'll be jailed if promoters allow him to step in a boxing ring with George Zimmerman ... because he'd break every boxing rule in the book -- then piss on his face.
The 43-year old rapper tells TMZ ... he's throwing his name out as a potential opponent for George's upcoming celebrity boxing gig -- just like The Game -- and says he wants to do it for "every black person who has been done wrong in the system."
DMX adds, "I am going to beat the living f**k out him … I am breaking every rule in boxing to make sure I f**k him right up."
DMX says, "Once I am done with him, I am going to whip my d**k out and piss on him ... right in his muthaf**kin face."
He adds, "Zimmerman is a piece of s**t and that’s what he needs to drink."
We're guessing George won't take him up on the offer.
Heidi looks gorgeous, as usual, in a short gray skirt and midriff–bearing shirt on the March cover of Women's Health.
The 40–year–old model reveals just enough of her toned body to remind
you that she's the same fit woman she's always been, and she's proud of
her body.
For those of you who've been easing your troubled minds with the
notion that Heidi Klum looks as amazing as she does because she has
spent 40 years working out for six hours a day, you may want to stop
reading.
Klum confesses to Women's Health that she rarely has time for
traditional workouts. "I have a treadmill that’s really great, but it
just sits there unused,” she admits. Instead, she finds ways to exercise
on–the–go, like encouraging her family to spend time together being
active outside.
The model explained that she maintains her figure
by keeping her energy up and her food intake healthy: "I'll eat
everything but the pasta and bread. Do I want the pasta? I do. But I
choose not to eat it."
Even for one of the world's most successful (and beautiful) super
models, metabolism has not been working in Klum's favor as she's gotten
older. She now has to do a better job of watching what she eats and
creating a healthy balance of food an exercise, she says. "The
metabolism definitely changes when you turn 40. I always thought, That's
not going to happen to me, but it is happening to me," she explains.
"If I indulge more, I have to exercise more. I figured out what works
for me."
It seems as though whatever balance she's found is definitely working in her favor.
Of course, Klum makes it seem as though she puts in less effort than
she does. The famous mother has celebrity trainers and efficient workout
routines designed to keep her in tip–top shape. After all, she once
gave birth and famously walked the Victoria's Secret fashion show just eight weeks later wearing undergarments and angel wings.
Through all of her effort figure, Heidi Klum has always been
well-aware of how good she looks. She recalled to Women's Health, "I've
always felt great about my body. I've always been very confident, and I
still am."
