My Cousin Passed Away… The Granddaughter of the Father of Modern China Passes Away After Car Accident

Posted on January 29, 2011 by Damon

I’m still learning about my connections with the Yat-Sen dynasty but I’m stunned to hear about this today:

Granddaughter of Sun Yat-sen, father of modern China, dies in Taiwan hospital a month after car accident – Xinhua http://bit.ly/gh17Di

…It turns out I’m related to the Founding father of China: Dr. Sun Yat-Sen on my mom’s side.  :o

My Mom’s Brother is married to the Great, Great, Great Grand Daughter of Dr. Sun Yat Sen…. Mona Sen.

Her Mother is Rose Sen of Oahu.

Yes… I know he was the ultimate Commie… I just found this kind of weird and was able to verify things w/in the last few weeks…

Roseanne Barr Sues Ex-Husband… Oh and a Hilo Book Signing

Posted on January 29, 2011 by Damon

Yesterday, Roseanne Barr Filed a lawsuit against her Ex-Husband Ben Thomas.

…The comedienne is furious with Thomas, the former bodyguard who was her husband from 1995 to 2002, for an action he filed against her last October.

That’s when Thomas went to court complaining Roseanne was violating the custody agreement for their son Buck. According to Thomas, when Roseanne decided to move to Hawaii a year earlier and wanted to take Buck, 15, with her, she agreed to fly Ben and his new wife over to see him for 10 days each month, all expenses paid…

Full story here: Roseanne Barr Slams Ex Ben Thomas for Disregarding her privacy and “emotional sanguinity”

Oh and by the way, she will be signing copies of her book “Roseannearchy: Dispatches from the Nut Farm” on 2/12/11 Noon at  Hairy Monkey Books in Hilo.

Comedian and author Roseanne Barr stopped at Outwrite Bookstore in Atlanta on Jan. 19. Barr answered questions from fans and signed copies of her new book, ‘Rosannearchy.’
