McCain's Wright (but much worse!)

I guess only black preachers are controversial and allowed to cost black candidates an election. I listened to Rev. Jeremiah Wrights comments on Monday and don't really know what he said that was so terribly offensive. This wack-job, John Hagee, who John McCain stood next to and said he was honored to have an endorsement from, is a "whole 'nuther" story. I mean, I was horribly offended. Any American should be, but why haven't we heard a blessed thing about this? Could it be, nah, it can't!! But could it be there's a double standard where black people are concerned? Ya' think?!?

Detroit Madness

My goodness, I just finished reading text messages between Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and his former Chief of Staff Christine Beatty and my face is burning:

http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/16057009/detail.html

Shame on them both for being so stupid. How could two "educated" people not know that city-owned equipment is maintained and monitored by city personnel? How could they be so delusional to think that the world is theirs and everyone else is just inhabiting it? How could they be so callous and disrespectful of their own families?

Although I'm disgusted with both of them, she really irks me. How are you going to lay up there with someone else's husband and send him text messages on city-owned and maintained equipment about sucking him off and being jealous of the wife whose friend you are pretending to be? Men will be men, they are just dogs and will say anything to get laid, but women are our own worst enemies. Face it lady, you been played, you been had, bamboozled. You were his ho. He said what he had to say to get laid and then went home to his wife and children. You made a fool of yourself publicly and privately. Let's hope you learn from this horrid experience.

And the other thing - both of you, man up! You've been caught, and you look like some d@mn fools denying what is out there for all the world to see! Have a shred of dignity and own what you did!

WTF is Wrong With Us?

Yesterday the news was dominated by a couple of people: the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Miley Cyrus. The media is digging every scrap of dirt they can find out about this guy (who in my opinion is FAAAARRR less racist than motormouths like, let's see, Jerry Falwell or that scumbag racist Patrick Buchanan), and some teenager who made pretty pictures (although I have to say that in the one showing her bare back, her facial expression looks like she's about to vomit). Who frickin' cares? Have any of these people who think these things are news gone to a gas station lately? Now that will make you want to throw up! Maybe Miley just filled her gas tank before going to the photo shoot. Or have they been to a grocery store lately? You almost have to take out a loan to eat nowadays.

Why aren't we outraged? WTF? Here we are brawling in the mud like a bunch of snotty-nosed kindergartners about stuff that doesn't matter, while ignoring the fact that we are being brutally RAPED by the oil companies and suffering the trickle-down effects of their extortion. And while we can't NOT drive anymore, personally I'm giving them as little as they can. I've been catching the bus and leaving the box in the garage as much as I can. Last week I even walked to the store! Got some fresh air and although my body protested initially, it thanked me later. Who knows, if I can keep doing that I may even shed a few pounds. There's a couple of short-term solutions, but whatever are we going to do in the long run?

"Cultural" Thangs


Complete, Total Audacity

Okay, now this one's almost too funny to be believed. Overweight inmate Broderick Lloyd Laswell has filed a prisoner civil rights lawsuit against his jailers for not feeding his big self enough. That's right, coming in at 413 pounds, he is now down to a measly 308 based on the bad prison food he is receiving, which isn't enough to sustain his bulk. He wants the prison to fry him up two pounds of bacon and 18 eggs for breakfast like his mama did, 6 packages of bologna and 2 packs of cheese with white bread and a whole jar of mayonnaise and 6 bags of greasy potato chips for lunch, and 4 buckets of fried chicken with 12 pounds of mashed potatoes and gravy, 3 whole pies and a gallon of ice cream for his suppa'. That's what he's used to, by George, and as a law-abidin' free white man goddam it that's what he needs in jail!!!!

Just finished reading a story on AOL about the 2008 Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival . Wow, such non-news. So many pictures of Sienna Miller. Who exactly is the girl, and why the f*ck is she dominating the festival? I understand that she's a Brittish actress but I can't honestly name a single thing she's been in that I've seen or admired, and I'm a hard-core movie-loving-Netflix-wh*re.

Abrubt change, I have to comment on the "media's" back-stabbing change of heart on our next President, Obama. Makes me want to roll my eyes real hard, how stupid they are, all turning on him, as if they get to determine how we vote in the long run. It's laughable, isn't it? Ha Ha!!!!Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!! These simpletons actually believe that, what they say matters, that all of the sudden America is going to change how they feel because they have written some negative stories and posted questionable polls! Haa! Ha! Makes me want to go pee. On a newspaper. Or someone's toes.

I shouldn't say that it doesn't matter to everyone, because as we thinking people all know, the knuckle-draggers are content to let others do their thinking for them and unfortunately, they get to vote. However, we have to fight the good fight, be stoic and let the dufus media run their course. They will see come Indiana, won't they?

Texas Polygamists


I just watched a couple of videos on ABCnews.com showing Polygamist cult member mothers crying over the loss of their children. I’m really torn about this issue. I can’t imagine what it must be like for the government to sweep in and take your children away from you. These women must be devastated and suffering horribly. They are probably wondering what kind of a country do they live in, where it’s okay to take someone’s children based on their religious beliefs.

On the other hand, are these children in any kind of actual danger? There are allegations of, what basically amounts to child rape. Girls as young as 14 are forced to marry sometimes much older men, and must immediately consummate the “marriage.” There’s a special bed right in the temple for such use - they don’t even have to wait to go home. Also, there was something about the video I just watched that was very disturbing to me. The “crying” women were all dry-eyed, dabbing at dry, clear eyes with tissue while making pitiful, mournful crying sounds. It as if they were all being drama queens to garner sympathy. Why else would they have allowed cameras onto a compound that is closed to “outsiders?” One woman spoke of a little boy who was taken away with Down’s syndrome and Hershberg disease. I have to wonder, while looking at these people, how many children are afflicted with diseases that could have been prevented had they not been so inbred? I'm sorry, but the women all looked, well, just a little off. Kind of inbred.

At any rate, there’s no easy solution to this situation. I just hope the CSP in Texas really thought this out before they raided.
