How elected officals should behave

I think of the six months I lived in NJ. The people opened their doors to me and their restaurants. NJ is the only place outside of the South where eating is a hobby and love affair. The bad part, the food is damn good. Warning, the people in NJ, even Newark, are sweet, loving and kind people. Wear sweat pants and be prepared to eat your way across the state. I ask everyone reading my blog to please text RedCross to 9099 to send $10 to help those affected.

Sandy does have a silver lining. That lining is elected officials doing their jobs regardless of political affiliation. Christie's response to President Obama's response to Sandy gives to me hope that all is not lost in America. Maybe there is more to us than Democrat or Republican. Am I a dreamer? I hope I am not the only one.

The media has made much of President Obama and Christie actually working together for the people. It is a shame that such expectation are the norm in America. We must hold elected officials responsible no matter what their political affiliations may be.

After Katrina, I watched my home state get through the FEMA red tape with ease. However, my governor at the time was the former RNC Chair and the president at that time was GOP wunderkid George W. Bush. I also watched Louisiana's Democratic governor go through hell to get the help needed from FEMA for the state. The GOP went full political during Katrina. President Obama has done his job well by serving the people hit by Sandy without regard for the governors' political affiliation. Chrisite did his job by not being too proud or too committed to GOP dogma to help the people of New Jersey.

This election please vote for the person who actually gives a fuck for the American people. In every state there is a clear choice on the ballot for those running for office who give a fuck and those just wanting to be in office. We need a President and a Congress that gives a fuck for the people.

Day-um Christie's ass is large. Please know I am a big woman. I saw Christie's ass and thought, "Shit, I have got to get in better shape?

Limbaugh thinks President Obama beat down Christie for a photo op. What is Limbaugh's deal? Is it the Oxycontin?

Watching the clips of Christie and President Obama walking side by side I think the FLOTUS needs to do an intervention in the Governor's office.

Sandy has made Christie seem normal. I could see why his wife said ok, I'll marry you. He no longer appears to be a huge ass.

Ok, enough about Chrisite. I seriously respect him for doing the right thing during a really fucked up time in America. It is not the time for politics when the people need help. We must come together to rebuild NJ without asking is it worth. Every city and state in America is worth rebuilding. Let's continue working together. Keep FEMA viable for we have only just begun climate change disasters.

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.
