SOTU a liberal response

I am part of the ADHD crowd. This speech needs to be short. He invokes Tucson. He speaks of how we are one nation. He issues a challenge for elected officials to do more than just sit together. He still believes people in office will work together. He calls for the focus to be on creating jobs and not 2012 elections. We are 4 minutes into the address. Is Boehner wearing a pink tie? Just asking. President Obama is now touching on globalization of our economy. He mentions how the rules have change in the world of employment. He is now speaking of a need to educate the population. He invokes how China and India are training their populations. He is now asking us to sacrifice and struggle to move our country ahead. We need to encourage innovation. Innovation is how we make our living. He is calling for more R&D spending. We are having our "Sputnik" moment. He mentions the various technology areas where we need to invest. OMG he just called for an end for subsides to oil companies. The president may have a backbone after all. OMG he just got on the parents for not encouraging learning in the home. I may come to love this man. Race to the Top is being trumpeted. He mentions how state governors helped to shape race to the top. Whoa!!?!? The president had some Wheaties this morning. He just called on the nation to give respect to our teachers. He spoke to the children to become teachers for our nations need teachers. Crying John is not behind a permanent tax credit for college. He did not clap as the president touted the tax credit. I have to wonder about Sen McCain he can say things that show enlightenment but the moment a camera is on him he spouts crazy stuff. Camera was on McCain for a moment.

Back to address. President Obama is now calling for an update of our infrastructure. OMFG. He just took a swipe at TSA's pat downs. The Prez is back if he means what he says. He talks of changing the tax code to remove loop holes without adding to our deficit.

Ok we are now 30 minutes into this address. I hope I can stay awake for the rebuttal. Wicked he admits to removing unnecessary regulation while keeping commonsense regulations in place. He has extended an olive branch on HCR by saying he will sign anything that allows for people to have affordable access to healthcare. He sounds firm on what he will do. He states that he has proposed cuts to community action groups and defense. Boehner laughed when the president stated removing a plans engine will not help it fly. There will be an impact.

He stated he wishes to strengthen social security and work on sound Republican initiatives. He has also called for a repeal of tax cuts.

We must make the hard choices now rather than later. Ok I am sleepy now. The president has to learn that a nation of ADHD people can only stay awake for video games.

I shall write my thoughts in the Republican rebuttal from M B. I shall use secondary sources.

This country girl is off to bed.

Black Lightning is more than ready for prime time

Black Lightning It is finally here. I do mean finally for I have been waiting for seems to be ages (1977). I am calling for a second season having only watched the first two episodes. I am not sure of the level of involvement Tony Isabella & Trevor Von Eeden in the production of each episode. The first two I enjoyed, did I say that already? The first two episodes seems to have been packed with every issue seen in mainstream media and think pieces regarding the Black community. This posting is not a think piece. It is my piss piece. Before I touch on the piss, thanks, many thanks, to Salim and Mara Akil for making it happen. Black Lighting opens with a Black parent, once again, having to bail a child out of jail for exercising his/her right of protest in the USA. We need to question why peaceful protests with no guns see protestors arrested. Please do not take I am saying people of color should have guns at protest marches. We would be shot before the

White Boys Whine

Quick and dirty Star Trek Discovery is everything I thought it would be. It is my hope the White boys chill the fuck out . There will be a White male captain . The Black woman will be of a lowered status. White boys are you appeased ? My personal view fuck White boys who had their dicks in a vise over women of color at the helm of a fictional space vessel. I shall watch Star Trek Discovery . I shall pay the fee to CBS Access with joy. If you wanted to watch OITNB you paid Netflix . Overall I look forward to the day a fictional show that features women of color in prominent positions doesn't freak out White males. They were so freaked out they compared The Orville to Star Trek Discovery . Guys chill out , future happens .

Y'all should eat my grits no cheese

It is two days after the GOP primary in Mississippi. We are still laughing at Mitt's attempt to cuddle up to us with cheesy grits and a few y'alls thrown in. In my area of Mississippi it is yaw'all(10 second word). Had he come here expecting us to be able to count to 20 without removing our shoes, he may have been taken a little bit more seriously. I am not sure if Mitt's grits ranks with Bush's "this part of the world" statement after Katrina but it ranks. Truthfully, I enjoy cheese in my grits along with garlic and red pepper. However, I do not think my love of grits, a bowl every morning, makes me Southern. Although I was born in Southern California and partially reared in Southern Wisconsin, I consider myself a full blown Mississippian. Along with keeping my grits to myself, I also speak without care of accent. The fact that I can tell you how to get from Memphis to the Coast without using the interstate or Google says I am from Mississippi.
