Jesse Helms died today....quoting the late, great Jackie “Moms” Mabley.....” never say anything about the dead, unless you can say something good..............”he’s dead....good!”

The professional bigot will not be missed on this block. He opposed anything connected to civil rights....the Martin Luther King national holiday, the Civil Rights Act, integration, affirmative action, you name it. If it helped minorities reach equal ground with whites, he was against it.

Speaking of professional bigots, this time masquerading as Christians, the AFA is boycotting McDonald’s. Pseudo Reverend Donald Wildmon and company say Mickey D’s is pro homosexual. Gee, I thought all they did was sell hamburgers. Makes me want to run out and buy a big mac in support of the corporation.

Uncle Tom is alive and well and living in Sarasota Florida. Seems the National Black Republican Association has decided to resort to “swift boating” Barack Obama. The NHRA is buying ads and putting up billboards attacking the democratic nominee.

I want to know who’s paying for the ads? The RNC has disavowed the attacks. John McCain has distanced himself from the attacks. So who is footing the bill? What great white rich man is behind the curtain pulling the puppet strings this time?

These deluded chocolate covered fools should have read their history books in toto rather than pick out lines to remember, like “the party of Lincoln...or Martin Luther King was a Republican.

Once again slow people...the Republican Party of Lincoln is not the GOP of today. The only connection is the name, Republican.

Please, lemmings, take off the rose colored glasses and look out for the cliff, you’re about to go over.

Condi surfaces...she says she is proud we bombed Iraq and that the world is safer since Dubya took office.

Standing by her man to the end.

Meantime, Dubya has ramped up the hunt for Osama bin Laden. The white house cowboy wants him caught and strung up by sundown on January 19th, 2009. To that end he is keeping our out manned Marines in harms way in Afghanistan longer than he promised. They can’t come home until he says so...Not fair....
