Checkmate

Funny or sad?
Both.

I particularly enjoyed the Dickensian aspect.

Obama (Hearts) Jews, Really...

(Oi with the blackness and the name!)

As Obama begins to shed the filth that was Hillary and the Democratic primary and heads towards the general, he continues to be evaluated through his "problems" with various demographics.

• Obama's women problem
• Obama's working class problem
• Obama's rural problem

The truth is these group's have problems with Obama because of their own fucking ignorance.

Women believe that Hillary failed because she's a woman and not because she's a spineless, war-mongering self-obsessive. They think McCain won't overturn abortion because he's a "maverick."

Working class people who think Clinton, being a $100 millionaire who can't use a coffee machine or a gas pump really gets them deserve four more years of being chewed up and spit out by our capitalistic machine.



And



I won't even touch rural whites.

And now the newest bullshit issue is Obama's Jewish problem.

Email smears going around questioning Obama's committment to Israel have forced him to adopt a more hard-line love for Israel with less of the nuance he seems to bring to other issues.

• Some Jewish voters are turned off by his willingness to negotiate with countries like Iran and Syria. Others reject Obama because of e-mails spreading false rumors about him.

You know, the same shit every President ever has done is now a problem because Black Madrassa, my brother's nickname for Barack Obama, is the candidate.

Before I go in I have to defer to Friedman's column in the Times that summed up a good part of this issue,

• Pssst. Have you heard? I have. I heard that Barack Obama once said there has to be “an end” to the Israeli “occupation” of the West Bank “that began in 1967.” Yikes!
  
  Pssst. Have you heard? I have. I heard that Barack Obama said that not only must Israel be secure, but that any peace agreement “must establish Palestine as a homeland for the Palestinian people.” Yikes!

  Pssst. Have you heard? I have. I heard that Barack Obama once said “the establishment of the state of Palestine is long overdue. The Palestinian people deserve it.” Yikes! Yikes! Yikes!

  Those are the kind of rumors one can hear circulating among American Jews these days about whether Barack Obama harbors secret pro-Palestinian leanings. I confess: All of the above phrases are accurate. I did not make them up.

  There’s just one thing: None of them were uttered by Barack Obama. They are all direct quotes from President George W. Bush in the last two years. Mr. Bush, long hailed as a true friend of Israel, said all those things.

  
  

This proves again that Obama as a black man, faces a different standard than Bush, McCain or any white politician. This is why Rev. Wright's ignorant rants and raves about black children and white children having different brains got attention much faster than McCain's preacher pal Hagee claiming that Hilter was sent by God to force the Jews from Europe.

It took months of liberal digging and prodding until they forced Hagee's record out into the open and made McCain reject Hagee's endorsement after actively seeking it.

But what can you expect in this country when white radicalism is the norm. This is a country that had picnics around bodies of black men swinging from trees.
Fuck a MySpace, killing blacks was the original social network.

Thomas Friedman had another point,

• Personally, as an American Jew, I don’t vote for president on the basis of who will be the strongest supporter of Israel. I vote for who will make America strongest. It’s not only because this is my country, first and always, but because the single greatest source of support and protection for Israel is an America that is financially and militarily strong, and globally respected. Nothing would imperil Israel more than an enfeebled, isolated America.

THANK YOU. Hyphen-Americans should care more about America and less about the hyphen. Why is it that Israel gets its own unique fucking consideration as a foreign policy issue?

Why do Jewish/Israeli-AMERICANS worry first about Israel?

I'm Carribean/American and no one has explained their jerk chicken/shrimp roti policy to me yet.
Can I get a free trip to Trini Carnival in 2009?
Can John McCain do the dutty wine with a Red Stripe in hand/
And we make Machel Montano's "Craziness" the national anthem?

Also, what do politicians think about Nigeria, Iceland or Australia?
Oh what's that?
Nobody gives a fuck.

I understand that Israel is in a geopolitical shit zone that needs constant monitoring and support but they are not our perfect and holy ally.

They fuck up. Badly.
See their last war.

Our blind support of and refusal to seriously criticize Israel does more harm than good.
Israel is a country that has been exposed as a nation that SPIES ON AMERICA.



(Worth watching)

Think of another Middle Eastern country that could do that and still receive more foreign aid than any other nation in the world.

Yet Jewish people still insist on supporting candidates that enrage the Middle East and give Israel carte blanche.

If you care more about Israel than America did George Bush really make your country safer?
Is that region of the world better off now than it was 8 years ago?

I understand Obama's need to fight double standards and ignorance at every corner he turns but these smears on his real record force him to take positions that alienate him with those who realize that Israel is flawed, like every country in the world.

• But the resistance toward Mr. Obama appears to be rooted in something more than factual misperception; even those with an accurate understanding of Mr. Obama share the hesitations. In dozens of interviews, South Florida Jews questioned his commitment to Israel — even some who knew he earns high marks from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which lobbies the United States government on behalf of stronger ties between the U.S. and Israel.

  “You watch George Bush for a day, and you know where he stands,” said Rabbi Jonathan Berkun of the Aventura Turnberry Jewish Center.

  Many here suspect Mr. Obama of being too cozy with Palestinians, while others accuse him of having Muslim ties, even though they know that his father was born Muslim and became an atheist, and that Mr. Obama embraced Christianity as a young man. In Judaism, religion is a fixed identity across generations.

Anyone that thinks Obama has any racial advantage in his run for presidency needs to peek out their window.

Fun with Race: Volume Infinity (Morehouse Gets a White Valedictorian)

White boy becomes first white valedictorian of Morehouse.

• From his first day at Morehouse College — the country's only institution of higher learning dedicated to the education of black men — Joshua Packwood has been a standout.

  His popularity got him elected dorm president as a freshman. His looks and physique made him a fashion-show favorite. His intellect made him a Rhodes Scholar finalist. His work ethic landed him a job at the prestigious investment banking firm Goldman Sachs in New York City.

  But it's his skin that has made all of this an anomaly. This month, Packwood is set to take the stage and address his classmates as the first white valedictorian in Morehouse's 141-year history.

Obama supporters discover "America."

• For all the hope and excitement Obama's candidacy is generating, some of his field workers, phone-bank volunteers and campaign surrogates are encountering a raw racism and hostility that have gone largely unnoticed -- and unreported -- this election season. Doors have been slammed in their faces. They've been called racially derogatory names (including the white volunteers). And they've endured malicious rants and ugly stereotyping from people who can't fathom that the senator from Illinois could become the first African American president.

Fox "News" LOL

This is unreal.



Expect these same journalistic standards in the WSJ soon.


Here's some more Republican awesomeness to start your day with.

• A congressional candidate is defending his speech to a group celebrating the anniversary of Adolf Hitler's birth, saying he appeared simply because he was asked.
  
  Tony Zirkle, who is seeking the Republican nomination in Indiana's 2nd District, stood in front of a painting of Hitler, next to people wearing swastika armbands and with a swastika flag in the background for the speech to the American National Socialist Workers Party in Chicago on Sunday.
  
  "I'll speak before any group that invites me," Zirkle said Monday. "I've spoken on an African-American radio station in Atlanta."

So blacks are equal to Nazis. I love this country.

Sean Bell Day Is Tomorrow

Riots for profit and justice!

If Sean Bell doesn't get justice tomorrow, I'm putting a garbage can through a window and copping a HDTV and at least two PS3's.

Bring your duffel bags.

Mother Fuck the U.S. Government

(Motherfuck Neil, motherfuck Lynn, motherfuck Mike)

Maybe I've been listening to Eazy-E too much but mother fucker any government official or Congressperson who decides to investigate a sporting event before any of the million ___________________ (fill in the blank) real scandals that have gone untouched.

Peep the newest failure of America,

• Reps. Neil Abercrombie, D-Hawaii, Lynn Westmoreland, R-Ga., and Mike Simpson, R-Idaho, are introducing a resolution rejecting the oft-criticized bowl system as an illegal restriction on trade because only the largest universities compete in most of the major bowl games. The resolution would require Justice's antitrust division to investigate whether the system violates federal law.
  
  

  Abercrombie said the matter is worthy of federal review because college football is big business with hundreds of millions of dollars at stake.

  "It's money. That's what this is all about," he said.

  But it's no coincidence that all three lawmakers have home-state schools with recent beefs against the bowl system.

  The University of Hawaii and Boise State University in Idaho each had an undefeated season in recent years, but were denied a shot at the championship. And Westmoreland said he is still smarting about his University of Georgia Bulldogs being passed over for the national championship game last year.

  Georgia instead was matched up against undefeated Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl, winning 41-10.

Please kill all yourselves. Now.

I swear I feel like I'm watching Rome burn.

Bill Maher Would LIke To Welcome the Pope

Cosign, but still, Ouch.

I really don't get how everyone rolls out the carpet for a dude who in his previous job, told churches to hide child rape until it couldn't be prosecuted.

Setting Humanity Back a Few Millenia

I don't want to become a link farm but in lieu of time to post in length I gotta share the shit that crushes my soul so I don't suffer alone.



As a music lover and music player (in my ancient past) this video hurts on several levels.

The product is so dumb the blog that discovered it trashed it completely and was contacted by the company's PR firm.
Gotta love Gizmodo.

Ha.

I think Lil Wayne just bought 15 of these.

The LA Times is Full of Bitch Ass Ness

I never even bothered to read that bullshit expose the LAT published about Puffy killing Tupac and causing 9/11 while dumping Natalie Holloway's body in Aruba.

It's not that Puffy is such a standup guy. Most rappers would buck their mom if they could sell 5 extra copies of their newest weedcarrier's mixtape.
Let's not forget Puffy let Shyne take the fall for him when he fled that NY shootout with J. Ho a good 9 years ago. Diddy is still going to have to pay up big time in that case.

But now he can handle that case with dough he's getting from the LA Times for slander and libel.

Apparently The Smoking Gun blew up their six months of research in one week by discovering the story was based on forged documents presented by a notorious conman.

After watching David Simon speak this week at Columbia's J School (which I will post about later), I'm looking more and more at newspapers like toilet paper than ever before.

More on Bitchassness

MTB4 S2 - Studio Fight
by harleypunk

I'm Done with Politics

Seriously, this election is giving me a heart attack and a little bit of cancer.

But this video done broke my political back. I will do my best to avoid the election from here on out.



Holy illegal abortions Batman, what was that?

Almost as tragic as 4,000 dead US troops and an uncounted number of dead Iraqi civilians.

Five years of war.
4000 troops dead.
Trillions of dollars flushed down the toilet.

And no one seems to give a fuck.
It's time to get the draft poppin'.

Here Comes the Shark Jump!

In the last few weeks I have noticed that people are more sympathetic to Hillary and at certain points she looked so beaten down I got a little sympathetic for her but the above video kinds of wipes all that out. She really is the vindictive self-obsessed opportunistic politician she has been made out to be.

One minute she's crying at every campaign stop, then she has Bill Clinton tearing into Obama and now she's mocking the idea of being hopeful when she's not calling the states Obama won useless. The common argument is that we don't know who Obama is and what he's done, but who is Hillary and what has she done?

She's still shifting her message, tone and style and her Senate record is not more impressive than Obama's.

Hopefully her sad lashing out marks the end of her campaign. It's too embarrassing.

Is This What You Want?

Um, yikes...

Obama Gets in that Ass (Obama for God!)

In one weekend he beats Hillary in

The Virgin Islands

Louisiana

Washington

and fucking Nebraska.

I mean damn.

And if that wasn't enough he wins Maine on Sunday. Yes, Maine. The state that is so racist against blacks it got a special NY Times writeup.

If he can take D.C., Maryland and Virginia this Tuesday and win 7 states in a row, I'm going to Disneyland.

I try not to become rabid in my Clinton hatred, (look at how the McCain hatred is eating away the Republicans) but she proves herself to be more robotic and less electable by the day.

I had an exchange with my boy over at Straight Bangin' and I realized that I've worked for several women in my lifetime and it reconfirms that my dislike of Hillary's candidacy has nothing to do with her gender.

But story after story of shady Clinton connections in the past and present (Why is Bill Clinton brokering uranium deals with dictators that Hillary criticizes in the Senate?) helps me realize that I was too young to understand why Republicans thought Bill disgraced the White House.

And don't get me started on the pandering ass comments Clinton is making at black churches,

• "All my life I have wanted to vote for a woman for president," Clinton told 800 parishioners at the Temple of Praise congregation in Washington. "All my life I have wanted to vote for an African-American for president. ... I wonder why God gave us this dilemma."

I bet after a mention of a dilemma from Jesus, at least 30 old black ladies from that Sunday service came running back to Bill.

But Why won't the Clintons list their income tax returns?

Frank Rich and the Wall Street Journal realize that the Clintons will not lose graciously.

David Brooks shows exactly how petty of a person Hillary is.

I'm not saying Hillary is Bush, but on a certain scale she has emulated many of the things Americans have come to hate in Bush.

• Pettiness and grudges
  
  
• Staged Media Events
  
  
• Racial Campaigning (McCain's black baby in South Carolina)
  
  
• Shady back rooms deal
  
  
• Lack of transparency
  
  
• Refusals to engage world leaders of countries we dislike
  
  

A friend pointed me to this "Something Awful" pseudo endorsement of Clinton which perfectly captures why her contrived nature and "vetted background" are a joke.

I never though a black man would be the best bet to stop John MadMan McCain from reaching the White House, but the Clinton's resume is so filthy that Republicans are actually cheering for her because they know how fun the the last 20 years of Clinton mud would be to dig.

I appreciate Obama's message of "we" versus Hillary's "I" but if he wins, I hope he doesn't take this reconciliation too far. Republicans are welcome to join in the post-Bush cleanup, but let's be honest, conservatism has failed as a political movement.

The G.O.P. part in 2009 and beyond needs to be minimal.

Social conservatism has failed. Abstinence-only education has teens getting more STD's and getting pregnant younger. Gay marriage and Terri Shiavo are not my business and many Americans feel the same.

Economic conservatism has failed. Check the national debt, trade deficit, the ballooning national budget, unemployment rate, strength of the dollar, the housing industry, the Dow Jones...................

Foreign policy conservatism has failed. Check out this thing called the fucking world. Democracy is not a banana. The shit can't be exported.

Where has conservatism succeeding but as a fucking theory that sounds good in a book?

Self-reliance and low government spending/involvement are great principles except when the party in charge of them runs up the national credit card and has AT&T filtering your Internet traffic while the President flies to your state in order to keep your brain dead wife plugged to a life support machine.

When I was young I thought communism was such a great idea until I started studying history and realized what a fucking disaster it was in implementation.

The Clinton ideal of centrism, in many ways, paved the road for the neo-cons to slip into power.

Please end the dynastic hot potato of Clinton/Bush. Soap operas are for the afternoon.

The Only That Matters on the 2008 Grammys

Is Steven Wright winning the award for Best Comedy Album.

Fuck a Amy Winehouse satellite debacle.

I first caught Steven Wright on Conan O'Brien, where his deadpan nonsensical humor caught me off guard. Who the fuck was this guy?

I went and dug out some of his material, which goes something like this,

• “It’s a small world, but I wouldn’t want to paint it.”

  “I went into a restaurant. The menu said, ‘Breakfast anytime.’ So I ordered French toast during the Renaissance.”

  “I need one of those baby monitors from my subconscious to my consciousness so I can know what the hell I’m really thinking about.”

  “My doctor told me I shouldn’t work out until I’m in better shape. I told him, ‘All right; don’t send me a bill until I pay you.’ ”

Etc, etc. His humor isn't for everybody but I love it.

Earlier this year I realized he dropped an album of new material which I copped immediately. If I had made a Best Albums of 2007 list, please believe this would have been on it.

I actually didn't realize he released an album until the Grammy noms came out.

Here is his comp,

Field 20 — Comedy

Category 80

Best Comedy Album
(For comedy recordings, spoken or musical)

• America's Mexican
  George Lopez
  [Comedy Central Records]
  
  
• Dirty Girl
  Lisa Lampanelli
  [Warner Bros.]
  
  
• The Distant Future
  Flight Of The Conchords
  [Sub Pop]
  
  
• I Still Have A Pony.
  Steven Wright
  [Comedy Central Records]
  
  
• Songs Pointed & Pointless
  Harry Shearer
  [Courgette Records]
  

Lisa Lampenelli is as dirty as she is funny.



Flight of the Conchords was on my TV Top Ten. Dudes are hilarious.

George Lopez is meh and I don't know about Harry Shearer.

Seems like good comp but Wright deserves the nod. He is the antithesis of the whole shameful funeral procession the Grammys have become.

If anything on that show was worth watching, let me know so I can YouTube that shit.


UPDATE: Flight of the Conchords won.

I can't hate. Wright deserved it though.

HBO's In Treatment: Best New Show of the Year

And HBO lets you watch the first weeks for free online.

When I first I heard about this show I thought HBO had jumped the shark. HBO has long been obsessed with the realm of endless psychological analysis, (Sopranos and Tell Me You Love Me) but to make a show set entirely in a psychologists office with talking heads whining about their problems seemed like too much.

What happened to the kickass HBO of Deadwood, Sopranos and Band of Brothers?

However In Treatment overcomes the stuffy air of the psychologists office by creating a fascinating therapist and an equally set of interesting characters to match.

Each night, from Monday through Thursday you see a different patient in therapy and on Friday the therapist goes to his own shrink, which is particularly fascinating as his own marriage falls apart because he begins doubting his ability to actually help his clients.

Watching each character's personality challenge a different aspect of the therapist as he tries to peel away the neuroses as slowly as possible is memorizing. It will be interesting to see where these lives go.

With the writer's strike fucking up TV for most of 2008, you're probably not going to get TV much better than this all year.

Mitt Romney Is Like Mad Hood Yo, Dog!

This is Mitt Robo Romney relating to black people.





"Who let the dogs out"

"Woof woof"

"I see you have some bling bling"

To me, this is worse than some golf channel bimbo asking for Tiger to be lynched.

I can deal with the "I will lynch you" brand of racism but I can't tolerate that Mitt Romney brand of racism where all black people are fucking snippets of a rap video who do nothing more than wear baggy pants, say "Yo's!" and "Raise the roof!'s"

Not only are the references casually racist, they are dated.
Bling bling and "Who let the dogs out?" are from the 1990's.

At least the motherfucker could have said "Who Superman'd that ho?!"


In direct contrast to this simplistic casual racism, the Washington Post has launched a new site called the Root (www.theroot.com) that examines blackness in all its complexity.

It is launching with this video series about black celebrities and their ancestry.

Peep Chris Rock getting emotional after discovering his super great grandfather fought for the Union in the Civil War.



Powerful stuff.

Be sure to watch the video with Morgan Freedman discovering that his possibly raped great grandmother lived with and was buried with the father of her children and the other video of Don Cheadle discovering his family was enslaved by Native Americans.

I need to do one of these genealogy tests quick fast and figure out where the fuck I came from.

The Bill Clinton Free Ride is Over

(Caption this as you please)

Let's keep it 100 right now.

Bill Clinton got a huge pass from liberals and blacks during his time in the White House.

People rallied behind Bill because Republicans got a little too obsessed with his blow job.

People thought it was a little creepy, especially since the critics like Newt Gingrich eventually got caught cheating on his wife who was in the hospital with cancer.

• Gingrich’s personal life has been the subject of much attention from both the media and his political opponents over the years. In 1992, his Democratic opponent, Tony Center, ran an ad claiming that Gingrich had "delivered divorce papers to his wife the day after her cancer operation," which was not strictly true, although friends have acknowledged that he discussed divorce terms with his estranged wife while visiting her in the hospital.^[14]

And how can we forget Clinton Crusader Larry Craig and his gay bathroom stall loving last year.

Once Clinton left office his free pass continued because Bush was such a disastrous failure as a president. But with the Bush era coming to an end people are beyond the "anyone but Bush, why not Clinton Part 3" mentality that Hillary was hoping to ride in on.

But after dismissing Obama's S. Carolina win by saying that Jesse Jackson did the same thing in 1984 and 1988, which is code talk for "all the coloreds win SC" I can understand why Clinton was such a target of Republicans.

And with Bill Clinton so willing to play the attack dog, it is fair to assess what people let him get away with in order to keep someone in office they thought would be able to fend off Republicans.

The Clintons are a dirty and divisive family and Hillary's current profile will get murdered by McCain.

She can't play the experience card or pro-military card with McCain. And the Clinton family dirt will disgust everyone who may have forgotten how they get down.

She had a major hand in many of the Clinton scandals and the slumlord that Hillary accused Obama of being cool with,



Whoops, she was in a picture with him.

Plus there was major Hillary donor Norman Hsu who got busted on fraud charges.

Whatever small mistakes Obama made in associates, the Clintons have made on a much larger scale, over and over again.

A few months ago I compared Bush's Libby pardon with Clinton's pardon as he left office and some people caught feelings because they felt Bush's pardon was different.

Politicians should stand on their records independently and relative to their peers. Bush being a shady ass mother fucker doesn't mitigate the shady dealings Clinton was involved with.

The Clintons were involved in

• Travelgate
  
  
• Lewinsky
  
  
• Whitewater
  
  
• Troopergate
  
  
• Bill Clinton's pardon list
  

And this list, although open to interpretation is slightly disturbing.

http://prorev.com/legacy.htm

Now it's 2008 and Hillary is trying to present herself as a fully researched strong capable female, who just happens to be riding on her husband's coattails.

The rabid white female liberals of Hillary's base seem to miss the irony here.

Let's trace this feminism.
Hillary let Bill shit on her for decades with repeated sexual scandals as she awaited the moment when Bill would put her in charge. Not to mention all the women Hillary implicitly let be slandered or explicitly slandered after Bill's sex scandals.

Hiring Kristol wasn't the The New York Times last blunder, they recently came out in Editorial support for Hillary. Several individual writers strongly disagreed.

Frank Rich

Peep this comment from his column,

• It's so sad to see the Clinton's bringing back the dirty tricks and politics of personal destruction. But it reminds us that the Clinton's modus operandi and character has been remarkable consistent.
  
  We can also expect that if Hillary is nominated the GOP will reopen the many cases of sexual harassment and abuse of Paula Jones, Monica Lewinski, etc. But this time, the focus will be on Hillary’s role managing the attack machine. Previously, she was portrayed more as another victim of Bill's sexual compulsions and philandering. In retrospect, and in light of the return of the Clinton political attack machine, either the GOP or the “watchdog" press will start reminding folks that it was Hillary who was in charge of the fast reaction task force when they used smears, lies, denigration, and intimidation to undermine the credibility of anyone who challenged their power.
  
  The long list of woman who were victims of Bill's sexual compulsions, like Paula Jones, Monica Lewinski, Gennifer Flowers, Jaunita Broaderick, Kathleen Willey, Sally Perdue, Elizabeth Ward Grace, Dolly Browning etc. soon thereafter, became victims of Hillary, Carville and the rest of The Clinton Attack Machine.
  
  Hillary got a free pass on these retaliation charges. In any modern day state Commission Against Discrimination hearing, these retaliation actions would receive higher civil penalties than even the harassment charges.
  
  For example, surrogate, James Carville was sent out to denigrate Paula Jones on news shows with the "walk through a trailer park with $100 and see what crawls out comments."

Bob Herbert now and 10 years ago

• Here’s what Mr. Young, who is black and a former ambassador to the United Nations, had to say last month in an interview posted online: “Bill is every bit as black as Barack. He’s probably gone with more black women than Barack.”

  He then went on to make disgusting comments about the way that Bill and Hillary Clinton defended themselves years ago against the fallout from the former president’s womanizing. That’s coming from the Clinton camp!

Dowd

• Bad Bill had been roughing up Obama so much that Representative James Clyburn of South Carolina suggested that he might want to “chill.” On a conference call with reporters yesterday, the former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, a national co-chairman of the Obama campaign, tut-tutted that the “incredible distortions” of the political beast were “not keeping with the image of a former president.”

  Jonathan Alter reported in Newsweek that Senator Edward Kennedy and Rahm Emanuel, the Illinois congressman and former Clinton aide, have heatedly told Bill “that he needs to change his tone and stop attacking Senator Barack Obama.”

Kristof

• With all the sniping from the Clinton camp about whether Barack Obama has enough experience to make a strong president, consider another presidential candidate who was far more of a novice. He had the gall to run for president even though he had served a single undistinguished term in the House of Representatives, before being hounded back to his district.
  
  Looking at the 19 presidents since 1900, three of the greatest were among those with the fewest years in electoral politics. Teddy Roosevelt had been a governor for two years and vice president for six months; Woodrow Wilson, a governor for just two years; and Franklin Roosevelt, a governor for four years. None ever served in Congress.
  

The Billary fiasco is the couple you see arguing in the restaurant or apartment next door, but played on a national political scale. They have dragged America down in their domestic circus for long enough. The Presidency is not a make-up present for the wife you fucked around on.

God Forgive Me, I'm Cheering for the Patriots

The Cowboys shattered what was left of my heart last week.
The Giants crushed up the rest tonight.

Now it's Pats - Giants.

I cannot have the team lead by the first NFL quarterback with over 50 chromosomes, Eli Manning, be the team that stops the Patriots.
I just can't.
My brain would implode.

God forgive me but,
Go Patriots!

Snitch of the Week: 1/6 - 1/12: Al Sharpton (Bounty Hunter)

(I'm coming for you Sharpton)

Apparently Al Sharpton is picking up the slack for the Dog the Bounty Hunter since his son flipped on him a few weeks ago.

These two Shawshank fans snuck out their prison cell on some Prison Break shit and were eventually caught but not before King Ambulance Chaser Al Sharpton tried to get some shine off this spectacle.

• Even though his ad hoc mission collapsed, Sharpton still tried to take credit for the arrest. "Clearly his calling me ... helped lead to the conclusion," Sharpton said. "I hope that justice for all parties will be served."

  The Marshals Service denied Sharpton's presence had anything to do with the arrest, and New Jersey prosecutors blasted him for his attempted intervention, which they said bought Blunt precious hours on the run.

  Union County Prosecutor Ted Romankow said Sharpton never told him Blunt might have fled to Mexico - and the lawman first learned about Sharpton's stunt in Wednesday's News. "I said, 'Whoa, Mexico?'" said Romankow, who conceded jail guards didn't notice Blunt's original escape for 20 hours. "I was a little surprised."

  Officials with Sharpton's National Action Network insist they informed NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly about the Mexico mission. An NYPD source said Sharpton told Kelly only that a friend was trying to get Blunt to surrender and never mentioned Sharpton was going to Mexico.

  It's not Sharpton's first embarrassment. He famously defended Tawana Brawley even after the teen's rape claim was debunked and turned up in an FBI surveillance tape discussing a drug deal with a reputed mobster.

  Blunt was awaiting trial on robbery and weapons charges when he broke out of the Union County Jail with Jose Espinosa, 20.

  The pair stole a metal wheel from a storage room and used it to gradually pound a hole through a cinder block wall in Espinosa's cell. They covered up the hole with nudie pictures, just like a character did in the hit movie "The Shawshank Redemption."

  They apparently escaped Dec. 14, but guards did not realize they were gone for nearly an entire day. Blunt even left a cheeky note thanking jail guard Rudolph Zurick for his help. Zurick later committed suicide.

  Unlike Blunt, Espinosa didn't make it far. Cops busted him Tuesday a few blocks away from the jail in a girlfriend's basement apartment, where he had been hiding out with a twisted ankle.

Obstruction of justice... awesome!

This comes on the heels of some white twit on the Golf Channel who called for Tiger Woods to be lynched. As the stalwart defender of the Civil Rights that he is Tiger Woods said, "That's OK!" and then Sharpton jumped in and called for the announcer to be fired.



This woman should lose her job for that shit but Al Sharpton, with his record of corruption, opportunism and divisiveness is not the dude to trumpet these issues anymore, especially after going around the police to play bounty hunter. Get lost Sharpton.

Play golf, marry a white woman, join a country club and all that. But maintain awareness.

Why was Barack Obama able to pull off the mixed black man with different interests and background routine and maintain his sense of blackness, while Tiger Woods failed so miserably?

Al Sharpton, for getting your Bubs on, you are the Snitch of the Week. Tiger should lynch himself.

This Week in WTF

- This cartoon perfectly encapsulates William Kristol's brilliance and the kind of wisdom he will bring to the NYTimes.





- Why does the mayor of a US city have a MySpace page where she puts up pictures of herself in her bra and panties? Is she trying to fuck the local HS QB?



Nice abs, but Tragic.


- How can two twins marry each other by accident? Scary shit. I'm checking my birth certificate now.


- How bad do the establishment baby boomer generation of Democrats look as they try to stomp out Obama and maintain the status quo. The baby boomer age of political stagnancy and 1960's nostalgia must end.

Gloria Steinem, the fossilized grandmother of feminism, wrote a bullshit ass column in the NYTimes stating that no woman is ever a frontrunner,where she basically said that all women must support feminism by supporting Hillary, that Barack Obama wouldn't have a chance as a black woman and that white women are the saddest most oppressed group in the galaxy.

Her opinion is open to comments and she got owned.

• I'm not supporting Clinton in spite of the fact that she shares my sex (female) and profession (lawyer), because she supported the war in Iraq when she had the opportunity (with way more information than the average American)to show some personal and professional integrity and do what was right even if it didn't affect the outcome of going to war. In voting for war she showed to me she was either: a)lazy by not reading the information she had available as a US Senator(unlikely); b)she was stupid by not understanding aforementioned information (unlikely) or...; c)she did what was politcally expedient (probable). I suspect she chose option (c), but is publically declaring option (b) by tring to identify with the many people who were fooled by the media and the other politicians who were too unaware or cowardly to voice opposition to the war. Neither is acceptable to me as a voter. I'm looking for someone in a presidental candidate, male or female, black white or brown, with a backbone to stand up and do what's right for the nation. I'm really, really bummed that it's not Ms. Clinton. I have the same problem with Edwards (I like trial lawyers!) Obama had the guts, early on, to say the war was wrong. It's Obama-rama for me. Sorry, Gloria, I grew up with your magazine. But it's not enough for me in middle age.

Rosanne Barr, that mid 90's fossil, had this to say.

• barak obama is an empty suit selling "hope" in lieu of Truth. Oprah Winfrey helped to elect Arnold Swartzenegger. I have no doubt that she voted her purse by doing this, as she is a large land owner in California, and that ilk fears Dems because they do not want to pay their "fair share" of Cali tax. Oprah has given us Swartzenegger and Dr. Phil. If that was not offensive enough to decent thinking people, now she brings us Obama. He has no ideas, no plan and nothing to add other than the cynical pacification of the masses with bedtime stories about hope, while calling Unions "special interest groups" that need to be done away with.

  Obama votes with Bush constantly funding this terrible endless war.

  Oprah, you play the race card and the gender card too.

  You are a closeted republican and chose Barak Obama because you do not like other women who actually stand for something to working American Women besides glamour, angels, hollywood and dieting!

  When Americans find out that Obama backs right wing corporate racist anti worker bullshit, they will not vote for him, and the victory will go to the most racist right wing republican ever.... Mccain, who is a fascist!

Um, Rosanne, Hillary Clinton was on the Board of Directors of Wal-Mart. You could only be more anti-union than Wal-Mart if you suicide bombed a picket line. And Hillary Clinton also takes money from Rupert Murdoch.

Think before you talk and spell Obama's name right.


And it gets worse,

Clinton supportor, Andrew Cuomo said this about Obama,

• "It's not a TV crazed race. Frankly you can't buy your way into it," Cuomo said, according to Albany Times Union reporter Rick Karlin. "You can't shuck and jive at a press conference," he added. "All those moves you can make with the press don't work when you're in someone's living room."

  The phrase "shuck and jive" refers to mischievous blacks behaving innocently in the presence of an authority figure, so as to lie and get out of trouble.

He then tried to claim his words where taken out of context. He meant the non-racist use of "shuck and jive."


I read a comment of Huffington Post hat summed the increasing string of racial attacks Hillary is using,

• (1) In addition to Hillary sophomorically attacking Obama (on campaign letterhead) for an essay he wrote in Kindergarten, Bill Clinton calling Obama a "kid": http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/01/the-bill-factor.html
  
  (2) Hillary Clinton dismissing Martin Luther King Jr.: http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/01/was-hillary-dis.html
  
  (3) Clinton Surrogate Francine Torge, comparing Obama to John F. Kennedy who "was assassinated", and doing it in front of Hillary Clinton, whose "expression did not change noticeably when Ms. Torge made the comment": http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/01/07/civilrights/
  
  (4) Clinton friend and supporter Bill Shaheen (who is husband of New Hampshire Govenor Jeanne Shaheen) floated the notion of Obama being a drug dealer and pusher: http://blog.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2007/12/12/post_235.html (and this: http://thinkonthesethings.wordpress.com/2007/12/13/video-evidence-that-attack-on-obamas-drug-use-was-deliberate/)
  
  (5) Bob Kerry trying to smear Obama by repeatedly mentioning Obama's middle name: http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/12/17/kerrey-tries-to-explain-obama-muslim-remarks/
  
  (6) Two high-level Clinton volunteers were vilified in the press for attacking Barack Obama with an "Obama is a radical muslim terrorist" e-mail smear campaign that has been both disproven and discredited, and a third volunteer knew about the e-mail - she didn't forward it, but she didn't alert the campaign about the smear e-mail either: http://hotlineblog.nationaljournal.com/archives/2007/12/third_clinton_v.html

My growing hatred of Hillary has little to do with her ovaries and it will be truly sad if she swings support back her way because she can fake cry on cue.
McCain is 204 years old and has been running for president since 1924. That motherfucking hasn't cried once.

And he got passed over for BUSH.


The Clinton's have burned up any favor they have with the black community a long time ago. Even they realize this and they try to backtrack on the shit they've said.

Keep all this shit in mind when the primaries swing around to your state.
