Is This Blog On? version 2.0

Well, there are plenty of special people here.

The Mayor posted this already, but I thought I needed to insure its distribution.

Mckinny hits an officer, and how does she respond? By turning it into a race isseu;

“I am absolutely sick and tired of having to have my appearance at the White House validated by white people,” she said at the time.

So, no blogging. Unless I get tired of cleaning.

Which, truth be told, is very likely.

So …. who got kicked off? I’ve got co-op today, and don’t have time to look it up.

So next time one in eight of you decide to hold a giant afternoon party downtown, ring me up. I have some good ideas. Like that maybe when you’re marching for American citizenship, you should leave the Mexican flags at home. Listen, we got it, you’re from Mexico.

Perhaps a sombrero or one of those cool wrestling masks would get that across better than waving a flag for a different country when you’re asking to be a citizen here. Also, I could bring bagels. It’s the only decent food my people ever came up with.

So, who’s going to get kicked off today? I would offer an opinion, but I only watched the last two performances -who can watch tv at 8 pm at night? Of course, I did catch the 3-second recaps of each, and based on that … I still have no clue.

And Katie, of course.

You know, I think I’m going to make up my own crap religion with really, reallystupid rules. So Katie Holmes is going to give birth without uttering a peep, sans drugs? Good luck with that. The only way I could keep quiet during birth is if they knocked me out. With my fifth and final child, I woke up a whole maternity ward (in my defense, it’s not that I’m a baby, it’s just that I gave birth so quickly, I almost delivered him in the hallway.)

Christopher Reeves on Scientology

Bizarre beliefs of Scientologists

In conclusion, Scientology should be ridiculed by all.

But, please don’t sue me.

At least that is what a 12-year old told this black woman. Being a good father was important to the boys, but marriage, apparently, isn’t part of the deal.

Although slavery was an atrocious social system, men and women back then nonetheless often succeeded in establishing working families. In his account of slave life and culture, “Roll, Jordan, Roll,” historian Eugene D. Genovese wrote: “A slave in Georgia prevailed on his master to sell him to Jamaica so that he could find his wife, despite warnings that his chances of finding her on so large an island were remote. . . . Another slave in Virginia chopped his left hand off with a hatchet to prevent being sold away from his son.” I was stunned to learn that a black child was more likely to grow up living with both parents during slavery days than he or she is today, according to sociologist Andrew J. Cherlin.

Sad.

And I heard, as it were, the noise of thunder: One of the four beasts saying: “Come and see.” And I saw. And behold, a white horse. 
There’s a man goin’ ’round takin’ names. An’ he decides who to free and who to blame. Everybody won’t be treated all the same. There’ll be a golden ladder reaching down. When the man comes around. 

And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts, And I looked and behold: a pale horse. And his name, that sat on him, was Death. And Hell followed with him. 

Yes, duh, I saw Walk the Line last week.
