Republicans' 3rd World Response to Missouri

I am worse than Palin when it comes to spelling so pardon any errors. I am sitting at a coffee shop typing this posting to my blog. Adele's CD is playing in the background. It is in this environment that I create a more in-depth coherent reply to a FB buddy's posting of The Daily Show's take on the Republican response to disaster relief.

What a bunch of jerks. The very nation they are so quick to say is the best in the world is the same nation they attempt to poor-mouth to the inhabitants. How can we lead the world if we can not care for our people when a disaster occurs? I am not running to the government when I have a disastrous night at the tables. However when an event beyond the control of me, my family, & my friends occurs; I do look for the government to assist. The faster we can help these people get back to some form of normal the better it is for us all.

Yet there is some sadist & masochist garment in my closet that speaks to my heart of the pleasure the Republicans are getting from seeing Americans in distress and pain. The glee that plays across the face of Cantor as he breaks down the bottom line to the people of Missouri is akin to that of a young boy with a magnifying glass & an ant hill. It seems from my simple and trusting thugs to be thugs view that there is a concentrated effort to keep people in pain rather it is from natural disasters or from telling employers to stop filling jobs openings. We may not like Koch politics but Koch employs many people.

Something is amiss in our nation. We have corporations attempting to dictate the will of the people. The last time that happened there was a party in Boston by people who had become tired of seeing their rights usurped by corporations. I smell something in the winds and it is not tea. This time we are getting something with more kick, coffee. The coffee is not going into the water but being used to fuel the bodies of those willing to put in the time to regain the rights of Americans. It is senseless that we a 1st world nation have a 3rd world response to disasters. It is time for us to get Congress to stop lying to us about why they are really sitting at the feet of corporations. We need to remind Congress of who actually votes.

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.
