Stormy Weather

I have a slight headache from my night last night. I was up until 2AM keeping the stress I felt from my face during yet another tornado in my county in Mississippi. All of that aside, I shall attempt to solider on with my take on storms, tax cuts, government officials being superheroes.

Given that I am short, I shall keep this stuff short and sweet.
The storm that hit NYC could have been handled more effectively had the city and the state not made budget cuts that reduced the experienced workforce of those who normally handle blizzards. The state and the city were force to make cuts because of the reduction in federal funds coming into the state. This event is an example of trickle down working in the lives of the American people. Something that I find to be humorous is Gov. Christie's application for federal funds to assist with clean-up. It is downright a slap in the face to unemployed, uninsured, poverty living Americans who bear the results of his rhetoric regarding entitlement spending. I suggest he gets a shovel and join the mayor of Newark and put his back into it. Please note, I have lived in NJ and love the people. They were so warm and welcoming the state should be the "Hospitality State".

Finally, I shall chime in on something that came up during the Oil Spill of 2010 that made a mess of unemployment and small businesses in Mississippi that do not benefit from the oil proceeds the received by the state of Louisiana. Note, many in Mississippi work in the offshore industry but the state itself does not receive direct revenue as does Louisiana. Watching Fox News, I was given the impression that President Obama was a petroleum engineer with a specialty in hydraulics instead of a lawyer with a specialty in Constitution law. Every day there were reports of his failure to stop the spill, I thought to myself "super nigger": He is able to plug any size hole with using his tremendous male sex organ( I love blogging). " Just as I did not expect President Obama to stop the oil spill himself, I do not expect the government officials of either NJ or NYC to hold back a blizzard. Given they had to make budget cuts because of a reduction in federal funds given to the state, the mess we saw in the blizzard of 2010 should have been expected. In short our elected officials are not superheroes or even smarter than the average voter. Our elected officials are just people willing to be the lighting rod in the storm for a price( personal coffer enrichment).

When things happen in Mississippi my first thought is not what the government will do to correct the matter. My first thought is what can I do to fix things. After Katrina, my second thought is how much will the government allow me to do without blocking my efforts. We are Americans. We can overcome all that is thrown at us (my personal belief). We must not allow ourselves to become soft by depending on our government to provide for us or to tell us what to do. There are times when government officials should be expected to step into a matter and times when they should not be expected to do so. A natural disaster is such a time for officials to roll-up their sleeves and get to work. A private corporation bungling of equipment is not the time is not such a time. When it is a private corporation government officials should work to hold the corporation accountable for full repair from the damage they have caused.

We need to get real about federal tax cuts and elected officials being human.

Additional reads, as always I love the comments to the articles. A way to gain insight to the American psyche.

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 . 

OWS dead? Again?

I am so angry at this moment I cannot type straight. http://townhall.com/columnists/susanbrown/2011/11/30/we_are_not_the_99_percent/page/full/ I am sick of false stories planted in the media to kill a real people's movement (OWS). OWS is not dead nor is it dying. Please read the article. We must get more real stories into the media about Occupy. This woman has not been to Occupy she is only repeating a lie created in the MSM to kill Occupy. The people of Occupy are too busy attempting to make a change to think of orgy and the like. MSM is being irresponsible to all at Occupy as Occupiers. There are those at Occupy camps who are not Occupiers but people intent on killing the movement by any means necessary. Please spread the good of Occupy. We must be the media until the media reports truth.
