The prophetic reputation of Pastor TB Joshua attained new heights with the recent revelation that he foretold the sudden death of the iconic pop legend, Michael Jackson…

Shock and sympathy are still reverberating around the world since the news broke on Thursday 25th June that Michael Jackson, the undisputed 'King Of Pop' had died suddenly after collapsing in his L.A apartment. However, his death had been foretold months earlier by a popular Nigerian Prophet, TB Joshua.

In January this year, Joshua prophesied during one of his famous Sunday services, broadcast live on Emmanuel TV: “I'm seeing a great star whom the world is shouting, “Hey, hey, hey!” In his own area, he's famous – he's known everywhere. He is great – too great… I see something will begin to happen to that star and that may likely end in him packing his load and going on the journey of no return…”

A month later, he clarified that the person concerned was not from his local environ and was 'too young to leave your midst' – enjoining the congregants and viewers worldwide to pray earnestly for this 'great star'.

Although some may view his words as too generic to be accredited to the legendary entertainer, the revelation of Tee Mac Omatshola Iseli on Sunday 28th June 2009, the famous flautist, business associate of Marlon Jackson and close friend of the Jackson family, put asunder such doubts. Joshua knew clearly who he was referring to.

In a sober atmosphere, Tee Mac spoke in front of a live television audience on Emmanuel TV, testifying that Prophet TB Joshua had told him to warn Michael Jackson of an impending health disaster, and invite him to visit Nigeria for healing.

“The man of God (TB Joshua) called me to his office and said to me, 'Please, tell your friend Marlon to bring Michael here to Nigeria. Michael needs healing; he needs deliverance.' I told the man of God that Michael Jackson just went for a medical check up because he is going to have about 50 concerts soon. But the man of God said to me, 'Send Michael here – he needs healing.' ”

When the tragic news broke, “what immediately came to my mind was that the man of God told me something's going to happen,” Tee Mac reminisced. Clearly remorseful, he lamented that if he had taken the message more seriously and acted with more insistence, “maybe Michael Jackson would still be alive today…”

Utilising the occasion to reflect on life, TB Joshua asked the audience in a heartfelt message: “If today were your last day on earth, what would people remember you for? What would generations yet unborn read about you?' He encouraged the people to live each day as if it were their least, and avoid the burden of unnecessary worry and anxiety. “Let us leave tomorrow's trouble for the One who bore our troubles on the cross,” he remarked.

As well as speaking on major world events, Joshua regularly prophesies to individuals that throng his flourishing church in Lagos, with uncanny accuracy. His recent prophecies include the death of the former South Korean president, the Feb 13 plane crash in New York and the release of Ingrid Betancourt from the Colombian jungle last year.

His ministry is attracting a growing fanatical following, particularly across Africa, and many African leaders such as John Evans Atta Mills of Ghana regularly frequent his church for spiritual support and guidance.

بلغ السمعة نبويّة قسيس [تب] [جوشوا] إرتفاعات جديدة مع الوحي أخيرة أنّ هو تكهّن الموت فجائيّة من الأيقونيّة فرقعة أسطورة, مايكل جاكسون…

صدمة وتعاطف بعد يتردّد حول العالم بما أنّ الأخبار [بروك] في يوم الخميس [25ث] يونيو - حزيران أنّ مايكل جاكسون, ال [أونديسبوتد] "ملك [أف] [بوب]" مات فجأة بعد ينهار في ه [ل.ا] شقة. مهما, تكهّنت موته تلقّى يكون شهور [إرلير] بنبي شعبيّة نيجيريّة, [تب] [جوشوا].

I really don't know what to say. When I read about Victoria Jackson's incoherent rant this afternoon, I just shook my head. I have heard this self-proclaimed conservative spew her hate and rhetoric towards Obama and his administration before. What bothers me most is that she actually makes people like Limbaugh, Beck, O'Reilly, and Palin look tame and intelligent.

I would like to address several of the key points in her rant:

Abortion -- It is quite obvious that Miss Jackson is Pro-Life. She comments that Obama is killing babies. It does not matter your stance on abortion. Obama does not kill babies, and the issue of abortion is not even within his purview. The issue was decided by the Supreme Court in 1973. Regardless of the merits of the arguments, Roe v. Wade set the law of the land, and unless the ruling is challenged, accepted and overturned, the President has absolutely no standing to contest or oppose established case law like this. People on both sides of the issue have worked strenuously since 1973 to fight this ruling, Pro-life advocates to overturn it, and Pro-Choice advocates to uphold it. That the issue has not been overturned in this time is telling.

Health Care -- This is obviously the current hot-button issue for much of America. There are a great number of things being tossed back and forth in this debate, several are good, many more are bad - from both sides. There is an agreement that something needs to be done with our health care system. From there, the sides diverge greatly. While I agree with her contention that customer service, especially among government employees, is lacking in our society, I do not see how this applies to the argument. The state of governmental customer service (or lack thereof) has been as such for many, many years, and cannot be attributed to the Obama administration in any way.

On the actual issue, nobody (of consequence) is suggesting socialized medicine. To remake our current system into a fully public system is likely impossible. Currently, millions are without insurance, the industry has not held up their responsibility of quality patient care, and control of the system is relegated to a few powerful organizations. We need a change, and since the industry has proven throughout history to be incapable of bringing the kind of change needed, and with the interests of the patient in mind, it falls to the government. Unfortunately, nobody has provided a viable alternative to this. The Obama administration has put forth a plan to make a public option available for people, like me, who cannot obtain private coverage nor have an employer-sponsored plan. How is this socialized medicine?

I completely lose her when she combines these two points to assert that Obama would be killing senior citizens. First, it is only Congress that has the authority to pass legislation, which would be necessary to affect the change necessary to overhaul our health care system. Sure, Obama has to sign it, and he can play cheerleader, but it is ultimately up to Congress. Even without this fact, her point falls down easily. With it, it is completely blown out of the water.

By the way, she hints that she may be asking for Social Security and/or Medicare as she ages. If she is so set in her conservative ways, how can she fathom taking advantage of the very social programs she despises?

Obama v. Hitler -- This is where she starts orbiting Pluto. Even if you believe the argument that Obama is a socialist (which he is not), this makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. How can any intelligent person make a connection between Barack Obama, a moderate, liberal President of a capitalist, representative democracy, and Adolph Hitler, with his vision of a totalitarian, autocratic, single party, national socialist dictatorship realized in Nazi Germany? I really don't know what else to say. Hitler was ultra-conservative, and dedicated his life to the "purification" of the human race, while Obama just wants people to be able to make a decent living, have access to education and healthcare, and to generally just get along. Where is the connection?

Evil Governments -- I had to laugh at this one for a few reasons. First, a system with a King is called a Monarchy, and is not inherently evil. As with any authoritarian form of government, it is prone to corruption by power-hungry individuals, but is not itself evil. The same thing applies to Oligarchies.

Secondly, fascism is not a form of government, but a political ideology frequently found in authoritarian governments.

Finally, Socialism and Communism are socioeconomic structures and can be found in conjunction with any of a number of governmental models. If we take this argument and restructure it to fit the assumed meaning, authoritarian governments are evil, as are the socialist and communist models of economic theory. Without debating the merits of these, I think we can agree that America is not an authoritarian form of government, nor is it a socialist or communist state. For all its warts, our system is undeniably a representative democracy and adheres to capitalistic economic philosophy.

Note: Wikipedia, while not always perfect, can be a wonderful tool for helping to understand concepts like forms of government, socioeconomic schools of thought, and political ideologies.

She then rambles on about an encounter she had with a small business owner. She asserts that the "facts" she was informing the shop staff about caused them to glaze over, apparently from the realization of just how screwed we all are under Obama. I suggest that the real reason for the glazed look was their polite way of dealing with a crazed person in their store.

With her rant, Miss Jackson reminds me of a quote, attributed to Abraham Lincoln: "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt." Please, somebody on the conservative side, educate this woman or prevent her from speaking out. She is not helping your cause.

On Friday, leaders at the G8 summit in Italy take on the global food challenge - how to curb hunger in a world where there are a billion hungry people, more than ever before.

In reading some of the coverage leading up to the event, I saw a troubling lack of understanding about the role providing nutritious food to the hungry plays as an investment in our future. Food assistance is an investment: An investment in stability and world peace. Surely you remember the food riots of 2008 - they were not that long ago. And look at Pakistan now. The food streaming into millions of people who have fled their homes is pivotal in cooling a troubled region.

An investment in the next generation of global citizens. Food builds both physical capacity - strong bodies that resist disease--and mental capacity, starting from the youngest age. It seems that with every day we get another piece of information linking nutrition and brainpower--with some studies attributing up to 35 points of IQ to nutrition that is or is not received between the fetal stage and age two.

The inside skinny is that the communiqué (that's the official word for the official statement that the elite groups issues at the conclusion of its annual meeting) will be dominated by a commitment to long-term agricultural production - with an eye toward producing more food for the planet.

I understand the desire to move to something new. We've been providing food assistance to a hungry world for four decades now and there are still more hungry people than there should be.

Investment in agricultural production is critical and at WFP, we're 150% behind that approach. As the population grows, the world will need more food. But make no mistake: More is not enough.

The world could triple food production tomorrow and not put much of a dent in the number of children who go to bed hungry each night. That's because the vast majority of hunger in the world today isn't about supply, it's about access. Food is available but, often for economic reasons, it's out of reach.

So as leaders talk in Aquila, we thank them for investing in agriculture even as we plead with them not to forget those without food today.

Payday loans are touted as a useful financial product for middle-class households that just need a little help making ends meet in the short term. But critics have long held that the costly short-term loans burn a hole in those households' finances, which can immediately necessitate another loan, and another, and another, trapping the borrower in a cycle of debt.

A new study by the Center for Responsible Lending shows exactly how fast this loan "churning" happens. Eighty percent of people who take out a payday loan take out more than one per year, according to the study, and nearly nine out of ten of those repeat borrowers take out their next loan during their very next pay period. Half do it within one day of paying off the previous loan.

More than $20 billion of the $27 billion in annual payday loan volume -- 76 percent -- is a product of this churning, according to the study.

"If you look at payday loans in general, the industry looks like it has booming demand, like lots of people need these loans even if they have high cost," said Leslie Parrish, co-author of the report, in an interview with the Huffington Post. "What our findings show is three quarters of that volume is artificially generated."

Steven Schlein, a spokesman for the Community Financial Services Association of America, a trade group for the payday lending industry, brushed off the study.

The Center for Responsible Lending "has a history of misusing the regulator data," wrote Schlein in an email to the Huffington Post. "In fact, none of its studies ever hold up after review by competent statisticians or researchers. Of course, they don't care because they get the media attention and then move on."

Schlein pointed the Huffington Post to past criticisms of CRL reports by regulatory services company Veritec Solutions.

To get a payday loan, borrowers sign over their next paycheck in exchange for an advance usually worth a few hundred dollars, with a typical fee of $15 per $100 loaned. Because of the two-week repayment deadline, the annual percentage rate (APR) of interest on such a loan approaches 400 percent.

Payday lending is illegal in 15 states that have instituted APR caps of 36 percent or less. Consumer advocates want a nationwide cap set at 36 percent, per a bill introduced by Dick Durbin (D-Ill.). Lenders are already prohibited from charging members of the military more than 36 percent interest, a cap President Obama has said he would like expanded to included all Americans.

"It would incentivize [payday lenders] to make loans over a longer term," said Parrish. "Payday lenders could still charge $15 per $100 borrowed and that would go a long way for allowing people to fully repay their debt."

Here's a chart from the report that breaks down how quickly payday borrowers return for more:

Parrish said the loan churning costs households $3.5 billion a year in fees.

"You can imagine what kind of opportunities are lost," she said. "Especially right now when more people are living paycheck to paycheck, that's a huge loss for these households."

As expected, the tabloids are currently ripping into Lindsay Lohan, implying that she's an idiot for turning down The Hangover. Hindsight is 20/20 and actors turn down golden opportunities all the time. But this is a situation where Lohan's choice wasn't all that inexplicable, and may have been beneficial to all involved.

First of all, you can't go on and on about what a big surprise the film's success was, then make fun of someone who didn't see it coming. Second of all, the role probably didn't seem all that appealing on paper. Heather Graham's role wasn't exactly a goldmine of rich material. She was the obligatory "hot stripper with a heart of gold," written more as eye-candy than a fountain of comedy. She was a solution to a plot-problem ("we want them to find a baby in the hotel, but we can't have them chucking the kid around the whole movie"). And finally, Heather Graham's star has dimmed enough that she could blend right in with the B-level cast (Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and Bowfinger were ten years ago), while Lohan's celebrity is still such that she would have stuck out like the gimmick casting that it probably was intended to be. Point being, the filmmakers should thank Lohan for turning down the picture.

Senate Democrats spent their first full day holding 60 votes just as they have spent the previous 2 1/2 years without such a supermajority: scrambling to find Republican support for their key initiatives in order to choke off potential filibusters.
