Waking up with Clueless

This morning to balance out my natural happy nature I watched this week with Christiane Amanpour. It is not her journalism that kills my joy buzz it is listening to her Tea Party guests who can only speak in talking points. Speaking in talking points gets out a message but it leaves the speaker appearing rather clueless.
The clueless speakers on her show this morning were Tea Party backed congresspeople from FL, IL, and NC. No matter how Christiane asked the questions we all have about the actions of those in the House each of the Tea Party backed members answered using talking points that did not respond to the questions asked. Watch the show at ABC.com to see if I only imagined the no response.

Rep. Walsh of IL when asked about raising revenue responded with talk about his legislation that proposed running our country like a household. I agree with him. In my household I cut spending and raised my revenue via a second job. It hurts but I know it will help me achieve financial stability in my home. He supports spending cuts and not raising taxes on corporations. In his world view as corporations make more money they will pay more to the government in the way if taxes. Rep. Walsh obviously is so caught up in his talking points he is not aware that under the current tax code the U.S. owes GE a tax refund. Clueless or he really does think Americans are just that stupid. He claimed President Obama should be ashamed of himself. I say Walsh should be ashamed for insisting that every tax cut has raised revenue. Call me slow but what revenue was raised from 2001 to 2010?

Rep. West of FL also spoke in talking points. The funniest thing I found from his talking point was his mentioning his 22 years in the military. He mentioned in his response to rather things were as dire as predicted by the Feds his military background does not encourage him to rule by fear or intimidation. I had to shake my head on his response.
Rep. Ellmers also spoke talking points when asked about Ryan's Medicare plan. She insisted that the people would not have to pay out if the pocket for coverage. She comparedMedicare with the medical coverage provided to members of Congress. Christiane was quick to point out there is a difference. Two thoughts came to mind: did she renounce her right to medical coverage Is she really that clueless?

I know I said, outside of sex, I would stop raising my pressure so early in the morning. However, I could not resist watching these talking heads. Rep. Southerland of FL was the only one who said something worthwhile. He stated he would be himself even if he was not re-elected in 2012. I agree no elected official should govern based on being re-elected. Do what is right for all people while you are able. Southerland may smell a clue. On that note I am off to smell some coffee.

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.
