It's no surprise that Harlem Pastor James David Manning has been preaching against President Obama—he's targeted Obama on and off ever since he came into office, most prominently by putting up "Obama Is Evil" and "He Used Black Vote to Uncle Tom For Wall St." on the tall sign outside the ATLAH World Missionary Church on the corner of Lenox Avenue and W. 123rd Street. But that doesn't mean his neighbors aren't completely fed up with him: "It's not something that represents this community. It sends out a message that all of Harlem is not supporting [Obama] and that's not true," said Belynda M'baye, who walks by the sign everyday.

This Combination Starbucks/McDonald's Can Only Be A Sign Of Pure Evil
This is it fellow Americans, Starbucks has entered its sinister Phase Two of operations, which as far as we can tell from this photo begins with attaching itself to McDonald's, literally.

Accused Cat Killer's Criminal Past: Dognapping, Robbery
The Daily News has some more details about Cheyenne Cherry, the 17-year-old accused of killing her friend's (or ex-roommate's or ex-lover's) kitten by baking it in a 200-degree oven. Cherry was arrested in 2008 after her "boyfriend snatched the pooch from a woman in a Bronx park... after holding a BB gun to her forehead" (Cherry had "friends show up with the dog when a $500 reward was posted"). Also in 2008, she robbed a man of his iPod at gunpoint, claiming it was a "joke," which is what she said of the kitten killing and, in 2007, she was busted for "smacking a girl in the head with jewelry." In spite of her history, she was released without bail after being charged with aggravated cruelty to animals, arson, burglary and criminal mischief for the incident killing Tiger Lily the kitten and damaging the friend's apartment. The owner of the teacup Yorkie that Cherry and her boyfriend stole told the News, "They wonder why this little girl doesn't learn right from wrong. If she's willing to kill a cat and steal my dog, what else will she do? She thinks she can beat the system."
Bronx Teen Kills Kitten In Oven
The ASPCA arrested a 17-year-old girl for killing her ex-roommate's kitten by putting the feline into an oven and leaving it to die. The Post described it as Cheyenne Cherry's "heartless attempt to get revenge on her lesbian lover." Cherry and a friend broke into the Mott Haven apartment of Valerie Hernandez, planning to trash the place. And the Daily News reports that Cherry allegedly told investigators, "I hate cats." Neighbors called the fire department, because a fire started and smoke was coming from the apartment. ASPCA Assistant Director Joseph Pentangelo said, "The kitten was burned alive, and it did not happen quickly. It was an agonizing death," adding that Cherry and the other person left soon after also slashing Hernandez's couch and stealing items, "She didn't want to hear the cat crying and scratching at the oven door... It's a shame that this kitten had to suffer like this. For the kitten to get caught up in whatever was going on with them is a tragedy." Cherry was charged with arson, burglary, criminal trespass and felony aggravated animal cruelty.
