Wisconsin did not see it coming

It is late as I start this blog post. My anger level may be higher than normal. It would be easy for me to call Gov. Walker the dick his actions seem to say he is. However, as I listen to his campaign advertisements, I discern he is doing nothing more or less than what he said he would do.

The people in Wisconsin did not turn out to vote last year. Those who did vote turned out for Walker. They fell for his rhetoric on social entitlement programs. Now those same people have come to understand that unions, health benefits for public servants, and pensions for those same people are also social entitlements in Walker's view.

My rant tonight is not the idiotic action of Gov. Walker. Tonight I rant against those who vote against their best interests and those who do not vote. If we sit at home during elections then we get what we get, Gov. Walker. It is time we standup and speak-out.

We must organize and get out into the street. It is time we go door to door spreading the news. We must hold real town-halls weekly. We must not allow Americans to forget how the 2001 tax cuts have hurt us. We must remember how corporations have been given special protections and rights. We can not afford to forget the attack on teachers, firemen, and police officers. We must take to heart the attempts to dumb down Americans by the cuts to NPR and PBS. We must not allow the Wisconsin moment to fade. We must be heard.

I am done with my rant. I am off to dream sweet dreams. Blessings

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  Discover...

New century no time for old games

As I prepared to write my comments on the Marcus Smart/Jeff Orr incident, I noticed a grown-ass man push a chair in the path of two running children at McDs.  I moved the chair and informed the man I was helping him by preventing the children from tripping.  I informed him that if the children tripped he and I would have an altercation.  He had not one word to say to me.  Punk assed grown assed men don't fuck with grown-ups only those they consider weak.  These people are the ones who will take pics of their gun collections to post on FB or Twitter.  These are the ones who will heckle college kids with racial slurs, "go back to Africa", or "Where is your green card."  As a mother, I can only hope my example of not being a punk has become embedded in my kids.  Real strength comes from knowing who you are and not seeking to belittle others.  My thoughts on Marcus Smart and Jeff Orr are simple. Marcus don't let it get to you.  It is sad...

The words we use

Someone in the media is in hot water for calling the president a dick. In all fairness I have said worse about Dick Cheney and George Bush. Well Cheney. I do not think anyone should be in trouble for call president a dick. However I have yet to see President Obama do anything that warrants my calling him anything other than Mr. President. He has not started any unwarranted wars. He has not fought to keep the American people in financial bondage. He has worked to change the tax code to keep the American economy viable. Why would anyone call Obama a dick is beyond me. IMHO we have had people in power who were true dicks. They managed to screw the people of America and the world so badly it will take a decade to feel normal. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
