Mexican Drug War
Word that Obama is going to help Mexico battle the drug cartels on the border...Seems to me that the best way to do this is to simply end the failed war on drugs....
Admit that some people are going to use, no matter what....
Legalize the market, just like liquor stores, tax with user tax, controlled from state store...
the war on drugs is another failed program that has gone on for way too long...Prohibition war on alcohol is the precedent....it didn't work then...it's not working now...
legalizing the market....immediately stops the violence at the border and in the neighborhoods...
legalizing the market....immediately stops warehousing people in private prisons for profit...
legalizing the market....can work with the planned revisions in health care in America...revise everything in health care toward prevention, rather that penalty for illness...because addiction is illness...not crime...
This country spends billions on this war....more than Iraq and Afghanistan put together...

Tim Geithner
My gut tells me he's a crook, just like the rest of them....but we're in a position of having to trust him...so let's hope his handlers know what they are doing...

Barack the Magic Negro
Man, that song must have gotten some traction, somewhere...all these folks throwing tea parties and protests because of what the prez is doing....
He's only been in office about 60 days give or take....
They really do believe that he is magic if they actually thought he was going to be able to clean up this mess in about 2 months on the job....
Ya'll need to chill....
Other Magic Negroes have taken a while to find their game, too...
After all...
Michael Jackson didn't make Thriller as his first record...
Micheal didn't win a championship the first year he got to Chicago...
How old was the Doctor the first time he dunked....
Michael Johnson didn't win his first 400m dash...did he?
Tiger didn't win the Masters the first time he played it...
Arthur Ashe didn't Grand Slam his first year on tour....
I don't think Hank Aaron hit a home run the first time he stepped up to the plate...
Even Willie Mayes dropped a fly or two in the outfield...
Patience, grasshoppers....Barack will work his magic....give him a minute or two..

A Passing and Stupidity in a Chocolate Nation
Gershwin’s Bess
Ann Brown, a woman that few of us ever heard sing, has died. She was 96. Ms. Brown was a black woman who was pure a pure soprano, who sang Opera and classical music during the time when Blacks were rarely allowed to perform in white theater.
She was Bess in Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess...the first one..the original one..
She predated Marian Anderson, who was the first Black woman to sing at the Metropolitan Opera. She predated Leontyne Price and Jessye Norman and Kathleen Battle.
She was born here, but left the country to live in Oslo Norway and perform in Europe because of the race prejudice at the time..
May she find peace.

Chocolate City AIDS Epidemic
Where are the Black Churches now? AIDS has reached epidemic proportions among Blacks 40-49 in DC and nobody is saying anything about it...Why?
It is the number one health problem with Blacks and nobody is talking about it....Why?
The virus is killing men especially in DC and the mode of transmission is man to man sex...
Black women are dying in record numbers nationwide, because they are sleeping with Black men who secretly sleep with other men...
When is the Black Church, The Black Community, and Black politicians going to pull their collective heads out of their collective asses and do something....
This is not a White Man’s problem, people...This is us and it’s time we admitted that and handle our business...

Joe Deters Sucking on His Toes
Once Again with Foot Firmly Planted in Mouth...
Hamilton County Prosecutor just can’t seem to resist grabbing publicity at every opportunity. I guess not content that he hasn’t been in the news lately, decided to issue his two cents worth on Cincinnati’s latest crime wave.
Of course I’m talking about the murder of Esme Kenney, may she rest in peace.
But why wasn’t it a crime wave when the 14 year old was killed on Blair or the other woman died under similar circumstances in Avondale?
Why is it only now a crime wave?
Deters implied that the closing of the jails had something to do with her murder...as if the alleged killer would have been locked up and thereby unable to do what he did to that young girl.
Police may have been looking for him, but he was on the streets legally because the system...and I don’t mean the jail system....broke down...
Even if the Queensgate jail had been open, this guy would not have been locked up there or anywhere else.....
He was on the streets because he’d served his time....served his parole...legally....
He got kicked out of the halfway house because he started fighting another felon....
Those at the halfway house didn’t bother to alert his parole officer that he was becoming violent again, until days later and probably after he’d killed a couple more times...
For some reason....this guy snapped....his history shows that he is able to work the system...the problem is that when he does fall through a crack........ people get hurt or die...
There is a big problem with our system....when we lock them up... and after we release them.....they sometimes come back to haunt us....
But it did not happen because the jail was closed and the accused killer couldn’t be warehoused as Deters put it.....
We can’t keep warehousing people.....the more we just warehouse...the more violent some of them become....
Walking time bombs stalking our streets for prey.....
The judicial system, prison system, and post release system needs overhauling just like the government
Like it or not....out of sight....out of mind...is not the answer...

Insulting Obama
Debate a talk show host?!
Rush Limbaugh, the hill billy heroin using, viagra popping, red light district cruising, 100 million dollar walking waste of oxygen....
Please!
Obama can’t bend down that low!
In his whole life Obama has never even accumulated that much dirt on the bottom of his shoes...
Rush and the rest of his crowd keep forgetting.....Obama won the election.....He can do whatever he wants to do...He don’t have to run it past Rush, the self proclaimed great white hope for old white men..
....He has to deal with "we" the people.....
The polls show that only 14% of Americans like Rush...that means 86% of us support Obama....I don’t even understand why anyone is bothering to even include this guy in the conversation except as a joke....
This is the second time in two weeks that the Gay Old Party of which Rush is a card carrying member....has insulted the President...
The first was Michael Steele....who wants to hip hop the Republicans....
Question....when was the last time you heard Obama use street language in order to get his point across? I don’t know how he talks among his friends..but I do know that when he talks to America, he comes correct....
Take a lesson Steele....What Steele said is racist....period....if the president were white...there would be absolutely no one putting GOP, hip hop and urban in the same sentence.
Hell, if truth be told....if Obama hadn't won the election...there would be no Michael Steele or Piyush Jindal being touted as the saviors of the GOP.
Steele insulted not only the President....but the rest of America as well...
Hey mikey...hey rush...apologize !
