Personally, I'm Starting to Get a Bad Feeling About the Oscar--Reeva Story

Oscar Pistorius 'was told to back off from Reeva Steenkamp'

Oscar Pistorius subjected Reeva Steenkamp to such intense emotional pressure in the early days of the relationship that her best friend's father was forced to warm him to "back off".

Cyril Myers, who Miss Steenkamp lived with in Johannesburg said he had found Pistorius to be "very moody" as he wooed the young model who felt caged in by his attentions.
"Very nice and charming to us when they started dating. Then he always came in to say hello. But when they began to date steadily, he just dropped her and picked her up.
"That's not right. I call it respect. If you're in a relationship and you pick up the 'daughter' in the house, at least come in and say hello." After the couple's first date, Pistorius "would not leave her alone", Mr Myers said.

"He kept pestering her, phoning and phoning and phoning her. Oscar was hasty and impatient and very moody – that's my impression of him.
"She told me he pushed her a bit into a corner. She felt caged in. I told her I would talk to him. I told him not to force himself on her. Back off.
"He agreed, but his face showed me what he was thinking: 'Oh, this guy is talking nonsense'."
Mr Myers described his anger when he heard about Reeva's death, and that it was Pistorius who had killed her.
"She was my little girl, and he shot her four times from behind a closed door. One shot may have been a mistake – but four times?," he said.
"I have a printing business, and I had large, framed photographs of Oscar and myself. I smashed them all. I don't want to know anything about him.
Miss Steenkamp had lived with Mr Myers, a commercial printer, and his wife Desi since September, and the couple's daughter Kim was the model's closest friend in the city.

He said the Paralympian would have to live with his conscience regardless of the outcome of the forthcoming trial.
"I wouldn't do anything to him, because when it's finished and done, he must live with it. I hope he gets a long sentence. Gets what he deserves.
"People will stay away from him now. Women too, they will be too afraid, no girl wants her a**e shot off. And if my daughter wanted to go out with him, the pawpaw would hit the proverbial fan." Mr Myers said he had decided to talk to the newspaper because, "everywhere you go, it's just Oscar, Oscar".
"But Reeva was the victim, her voice must be heard too. People must know who Reeva Steenkamp was," he said.
did not originally plan to stay with Oscar Pistorius the night she died but changed her mind because it became too late for her to drive home safely, her best friend's father has said.

Miss Steenkamp, who grew up in Port Elizabeth, used to introduce him to her friends as her "Joburg dad".
"I've got this thing with all three children (Reeva, and his daughters, Kim and Gina), if they don't come home at night, they must text me," Mr Myers told South Africa's City Press newspaper.
"Then Reeva sent the (SMS) message: 'Hi guys, I'm too tired. It's too far to drive. I'm sleeping at Oscar's tonight. See you tomorrow'.
"Tomorrow never dawned for her I have nightmares at night thinking how frightened she must have been. Can you imagine how terrified she was?"
Police asked Mr Myers, his daughter, Kim, and his son, David, formally to identify Miss Steenkamp's body the morning that she was killed.
"We looked at her through a glass window. She was . . . you know . . . the way someone looks who has been shot . . . The police tried to make it easier for us," he said.
He did not describe Miss Steenkamp's injuries further. Police on Sunday denied reports that Pistorius used a cricket bat found at his house to assault his girlfriend before shooting her.
Mr Myers, who identified Miss Steenkamp's body, told the Daily Telegraph that he was "surprised" by reports that she had been assaulted with a cricket bat.
"When I identified Reeva, I saw no indication of that", he said. "The first I knew about it was when I read it in the papers. I do not know where that came from".
No such evidence was entered by the prosecution during pre-trial proceedings to decide if Pistorius would be granted bail, even though it would likely have affected the magistrate's ruling.

cl.......to me this story has many of the hallmarks of domestic violence........

Bill O'Reilly--Crusin' for a Brusin'

taking bets.....who will lay out bill o. first, James or Mary?  Mary does not suffer fools easily........need I say more?

I think James is trying to hold back and not embarrass bill right off the bat, maybe he will cut him a little slack until he can't stand it any longer........

But what about Mary Matalin...I have never seen her take it from anyone.   She knows  her  facts and she knows  the point she  is trying to make expertly.......it's just a matter if time.....

I'm saying it's  just a waiting game before she has  to straighten out the facts according to Bill O'Reilly.

On the other hand James Carville just can't get on the air of his new  channel, Fox News, and lay Bill O'Reilly out the first  day.....how long can  James suffer morality according to bill O?

What do you think?

Right now my money is on Mary but I do think we  have to wait  just a little while  to see what happens before the fighting begins.

I just can't see Mary Matalin putting up with the condescending Bill O. regardless of his political party.

here is a little hint from mediaite:



O’Reilly And Carville Clash Over Whether Clinton Cared More About Economy, Debt Than Obama Does

VIDEO» 90 comments

Bill O’Reilly continued his theme of what the biggest problem facing the country today is withJames Carville. Carville cited a general economic trend downward since the 1970s and unemployment. After a brief clash, O’Reilly brought up Carville’s former boss, Bill Clinton, and challenged him on the difference in economic outlook between Clinton and President Obama. Carville disputed that, saying their only major difference is on style.
Carville said that the economy is slowly but steadily improving, which led to him and O’Reilly briefly clashing over exactly how much better the economy is getting and exactly where health care cuts are coming from.
O’Reilly then turned to the Clinton issue, saying that the former Democratic president had a “very responsible fiscal policy” and didn’t try to “micromanage” the private sector. He accused Obama of being the biggest spending president in history and claimed at least Clinton cared more about the national debt. Carville argued that a key difference between the two presidencies is that the economy was starting to grow when Clinton got into office, but not with Obama.
But Carville maintained that by and large Clinton and Obama have similar economic beliefs. He said both favor raising taxes on the wealthy, both worked on getting health care reform done, and both signed free trade agreements. If anything, Carville said, the only difference between them is on style. O’Reilly insisted they have a fundamentally different economic philosophy. Carville pushed back, saying that Obama most likely just believes in “aggressive government during a downturn.”

My Favorite Power Pundits, James Carville and Mary Matalin--It's Just A Matter Of Time......

Why James Carville And Mary Matalin Are Leaving CNN…

VIDEO» 16 comments
When it was first announced that husband and wife political odd couple James Carville and Mary Matalin were leaving CNN, all speculation indicated that new president Jeff Zucker was pushing them out to make room for new blood at the network. But according to Carville, there may have been a more logistical reason for their departure.
Appearing this morning from their hometown of New Orleans ahead of Sunday’s Super Bowl on CBS This Morning, Carville told host Norah O’Donnell“what CNN said was they wanted contributors to be there on set.” Finishing her husband’s sentence, Matalin chimed in, “which makes sense.”
“It makes total sense,” Carville continued. “It’s a good strategy, but it’s a strategy we can’t fulfill.” For years, the pair has regularly appeared on CNN remotely from New Orleans, but now apparently the new management is insisting that contributors appear from CNN’s sets in New York and Washington.
Charlie Rose, no doubt sensing the duo’s reluctance to discuss the issue said “tell them to bring the set to New Orleans,” before changing to subject to Hillary Clinton‘s upcoming memoir.

from chloelouise.........
I'm saying this may turn out to be very interesting........how long will this power couple put up with the political facts according to the O'Reilly interpretation .....I don't think he can shut either one of them down....Repub or Dem,  they are both extremely skilled and knowledgeable......It's just a matter of time.......

Why I Want To Divorce My Mother And Marry My Cat


I love you Chlo-Chlo.......


Chlo Langen........a cat and my best friend




Edward Gorey's 88th Birthday


Why I Want To Divorce My Mother And Marry My Cat


Well, they both are really old.

They are both ever so slightly insane.

They are often mixed up and don't really know where they are but neither one will admit it.

Obviously, very crabby and set in their ways--both.

Each think they are always right--not think, they know they are right.

Each run off when questioned--as if they have an appointment.

both parties refuse to venture out of their familiar space......make up stories about impending engagements...

Of course, varying degrees of hearing and vision impairment exist in each case.

mother does not know a nickel from a dime.

Chloe does not know a nickel from a dime.

Arrogance is a global problem.


The difference:

My cat loves me and cares if I have a bad day--she always has, mother never has.

My Chlo-Chlo appreciates the way I try to take care of her.

Mother is taking care of herself--just like she did in 1942.

Chloe is sooooo beautiful.

Chloe loves just being together.

Chloe thinks I am doing a really good job of taking care of her even if I forget her and spend too much time on my comp.

Chloe wound never stop loving me.
