Walmart Passes the Blame to Tracy Morgan – Breaking Entertainment News




Mega-retail monster, Walmart, has passed the buck and the blame down the line in the recent accident involving actor and comedian Tracy Morgan.

Recent controversy surrounding the accident that proved fatal for writer and comic James McNair, aka Jimmy Mack, has focused on speculation that Roper was awake for the 24 hours preceding the incident. Whether it was a matter of driver fatigue remains to be proven, but Walmart apparently isn’t willing to take the chance.

Halle Berry Impersonator, Stress, Gums and Advice Tips – “Ask Andi” Advice Column

A loving relationship between parents has the potential to spill over into the relationship with their children. If the unit functions correctly, the parents can fulfill each other’s needs. Children have their needs fulfilled. Children grow up to become happy, healthy, productive members of society and strong communities result.
Sadly, this ideal structure is often lacking. Lack of responsibility, selfishness, and immaturity have eroded the foundation of many families. Today’s “Ask Andi” addresses some of the issues that arise when that foundation crumbles and gives practical tips for dealing with them.
