Look Who's Voting

If this video doesn't drive you to the polls on Election Day, November 2nd, then you really don't care about the direction our country takes. None of the people in this video represent my views, not Glenn Beck, not Rush Limbaugh and certainly not those angry tea party people who dwell in some alternate universe where socialism and communism coexist and intolerance prevails.

While they are all wound up over the President, more than 2 million Americans have slid into poverty over the past two years and the actual jobless rate is closer to 22% than 10% that's often reported. Where's the outrage over that?

Naked Dumbassness: Charlie Sheen & the Double Standard

Photo taken from Bloginity.com

Under the category of "This-shit-is-too-funny-to-be made-up", Charlie Sheen has done it again. Only two months out of  rehab, Sheen went on an alcohol and drug fueled binge had an "allergic reaction" to medication and was found naked in a restaurant bathroom in New York City earlier this week. According to his date, Capri Anderson, he reneged on his agreement to pay her $12,000 for the night so the tawdry but hilarious details of Sheen's antics are now being reported in the media. Sheen's date, Miss Anderson is an adult film star with multiple aliases and assuming she didn't have the same "allergic reaction" as Sheen, she knows what went down and isn't afraid to get her 15 minutes of fame.

While there appears to be no consequences or repercussions for Sheen's bad behavior, imagine if this were Lindsay Lohan instead? Poor Miss Lindsay would certainly be drummed out of Hollywood for good if she pulled half the stunts Sheen has. She has been ridiculed and vilified for her problem with drugs, alcohol and women but Sheen has not.  He is still the highest paid actor ($1 million an episode) on television and everyone looks the other way when he beats down his women and goes on drug and alcohol binges. For once, I'd like to see the media camp outside his house, his girlfriends' houses and follow him around all day taking pictures and asking him stupid questions.

Of course it's about drugs, alcohol and sex for him, but what's with punching the wall and shouting "nigger, nigger, nigger"? Maybe it's time for an intervention because Charlie Sheen is nuttier than a fruitcake. Drugs, alcohol and skanky women do not mix! Martin, come get your boy!

Ginny, Juan and Uncle Thomas

I am not and never have been a fan of former NPR commentator and FOX News go-to-negro Juan Williams. I am so glad he will no longer be on 'Morning Edition' providing his owns special brand of commentary. I wonder why it took NPR so long! The fact that Juan gets nervous when he boards a plane and sees someone dressed in Muslim garb is bullshit and a very lame justification for "Islamophobia".

I guess drinking from the FOX News water cooler has made Juan oblivious to the fact that he is a black man and that many people (probably most of his co-workers including Bill O'Reilly) get nervous when they see a black man or black people even. It doesn't sound any less prejudice coming for you Juan! You deserved to be fired from NPR.  I am glad you can now espouse your opinions on FOX News because I won't be watching. 


With Juan Williams out of my hair I can now move on to that crazy-ass Ginny Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas or Uncle Thomas as I refer to him even though we are not related. Just when I had  forgotten about about that messy confirmation hearing, she had to bring all that shit back up again! It's been nineteen years and she is expecting Anita Hill to apologize. Almost everyone else has moved on Ginny, why can't you? Anita Hill has always been a class act and didn't bother to dignify the phone call from this crazy woman, I wouldn't either:

“Good morning, Anita Hill, it’s Ginny Thomas. I just wanted to reach across the airwaves and the years and ask you to consider something. I would love you to consider an apology sometime and some full explanation of why you did what you did with my husband. So give it some thought and certainly pray about this and come to understand why you did what you did. Okay, have a good day.”

What is about Tea Party women that makes them so crazy? Reaching across airwaves and years isn't going to give Ginny the closure she expects. Now I'd really love to hear that she called Lillian McEwen, one of her husband's old girlfriends had a long talk, it seems she knows your husband very, very well. Now I'd love to be a fly on the wall for that conversation. I'm sure Ms. McEwen would tell her some things she didn't want to hear but sadly, its all too little, too late. We've all moved on Lillian, maybe you should too.
