You know if this were any other country on the planet....enclaves like Beverly Hills, Wilmette, Indian Hill, The Upper East Side, North Hampton to name just few....would have gone up in flames by now during this economic crisis...I mean we Americans are the only poor people in the world who defend a rich man's right to screw us over time and time again.
We send our kids to fight illegal wars, while they send theirs to Oxford or St. Andrews, or someplace in Canada...
We castigate each over whether or not they should have tax breaks...nevermind that it never...ever trickles down to us....ever...
We fight each other over race and religion calling each other names on the 24/7 news cycle....while they sit back and watch the dust up...
We sit back and argue about whether or not Barbie has a brain, rather than condemn our patriarchal hierachy's continuing fascination with stupid, useless women....and yes...it's a sex thing....men don't want to marry or be led by the Sarah Palins and Palin clones of the world...they simply want to fuck them and go home to their trophy wives.
We women outnumber men as voters...yet we are still begging them for permission to control our own bodies and make a living wage paycheck.
I'm tired of Black people who stand up and say they are “tired of defending this president.” as if he really was Barack the Magic Negro and hasn't pulled off the magic trick to make everybody happy and content and equal....
I'm tired of Negroes who don't understand that Obama winning the White House was the equivalent of winning a battle...not a war...
I don't understand why Obama won't issue an executive order halting DADT...but heckling him for it...is like a dog biting the hand of the one who feeds him....stupid and childish...
And yes, I'm frustrated with some of his policy choices....but given the alternative....I will defend him until he leaves office...I may punch a few holes in the wall from time to time...but hey, that's life...
Life happens....not necessarily when you want it...but when it's supposed to..

Question: Does the entire Black community suffer from fag hag-itis? This homophobe was preening in the mirror ya'll...Those pics reminded me of Calvin Lockhart as Frankie J Parker in the movie Melinda. You know the scene I'm talking about.....Parker looking at himself in the mirror...”you are one pretty muthafucka.”
How many of these sorry ass closet cases have to tumble out of their personal prisons before the Black community wakes up and starts to deal with its rampant and virulent homophobia.
It's not a sin to be who you are....it's the truth....
Men who work the religion hustle are not men of god....they are no different then the corporate raiders who plunder America Monday through Friday, leaving the religious pimps to work the weekends.
The Black community must begin to think for itself and stop looking for a slave master, a miss daisy, or a white man or preacher or a Black president to save them....
Slaves were emancipated in 1865...isn't it time some of you started acting like it....

John Kasich is running for Governor of Ohio
The man from Lehman brothers is running ads touting his balancing of the federal budget back in the 90's when he was a congressman...
He was chairman of the Budget committee when the Federal Government did balance the budget and run a surplus, which Dubya promptly squandered on two illegal wars and tax cuts for his friends and family...
What Kasich is not telling you in his ads is that he was in Congress while Democrat Bill Clinton was president and it's the president who gets the credit....not the Republican Budget Committee Chairman.
His ad leaves the impression that he did all that heavy lifting by himself....
If Kasich ran for congress today...he would probably have to run as a Democrat because the GOP and teabaggers would find him too liberal to be a republican..
Besides Kasich was the man who convinced Ohio to invest with Lehman Brothers causing old seniors to lose their pensions big time...
I'm still in Strickland's corner....and Justin Coussoule who is running against John Boehner...and Steve Driehaus...who is being challenged by the hirsute challenged Steve Chabot..
Another retread named Rob Portman is running, too...He was Dubya's budget man....Now he wants to be Senator....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Finally, Health Care Reform
What kicks in on September 23, 2010.. It's being called the Patient's Bill of Rights and includes:
President Obama signed the health care reform bill six months ago, to take effect on Thursday. Several misconceptions are still circulating and probably will continue to spread until the above reforms kick into full gear.
Can't imagine anyone wanting to repeal a piece of legislation that will protect their children up to age 27, the way this one does. More reforms are phased in with the bulk of the health care bill coming to fruition in 2014.
That still gives the GOP and the Tea Party plenty of time to rail against the measures, much like they do with social security, medicare and medicaid.
I will really start to worry about the opposition when the teabaggers start giving back their benefits, which will signal their willingness to live in a true free market society and compete along with the rest of us.
However, until I see social security card, medicare card burning parties or old white guys tearing up their social security checks at teabagger rallies....I'm not worried...
If the GOP is serious about repeal or shutting down government...let them first agree to cut off their own health care, give back their pensions and refuse to use medicare or medicaid.
- Allowing children under 26 years old to stay on their parents' health care plans
- Prohibiting insurance companies from discriminating against children with pre-existing conditions
- Barring insurance companies from rescinding coverage once a customer becomes sick, or if he or she made a mistake on their application
- Barring insurance companies from putting lifetime limits on health coverage No out-of-pocket costs for preventive care
- Insurers are banned from charging more for emergency services obtained outside of a customer's network
- Customers are guaranteed the right to appeal insurance company decisions to an independent third party
- Customers have the right to choose their own doctor in their insurer network

Friday Rap
All the polls....you know those conducted by the professional pollsters among likely voters come November....in other words...all those people who still have land lines, are usually over the age of 60, overwhelmingly white and non hispanic and vote republican...tallying no more than 1000 people max....
Those polls say....Democrats don't have a snow balls chance in hell of winning anything in November.
Yep...they say it's going to be just like back in the day when Barry Goldwater swept to power...Ohio is going to lose its democratic Governor....all of its democratic representatives and gain a new GOP senator.....
Obama is going to be totally embarrassed and put back in his place....yeah..that's the ticket...and then, come 2012, they are going to take back the White House, too....can ya dig it?
I got one question.....Do ya'll really think ...all 16% of you.... that all black people, all brown people, all gay people, all native Americans, and all sensible progressives are going to stay home on Election Day?

Up in Delaware...one day after Pandora climbs out of her box..... Palin clone, Christine O'Donnell tries to put a lid on some of that other stuff that was in the box with her....things like masturbation is the same as adultery...or gay people are scum (does that include her sister, too?).....or you can legislate morality....People who like legislating morality usually like being called “dear leader” or “dur fuhrer” too.
One day after O'Donnell wins all the GOP is sucking up to her in their efforts to return to power. Goes to show the politics of the GOP is nothing about the people, but all about the power.
No surprise on the Karl Rove flip flop...He's spent his entire professional life kissing somebody's ass...usually male...but you do what you gotta do to live down to the nickname Turdblossom (another name for a stinky fart)
But back to Christine...
Question: Why can't a good christian girl find a good christian man? Girlfriend is single..even her gay sister has a girlfriend...what's up with that? Maybe she should a been a nun...married Jesus...
Question #2: what up with all these pictures used by the MSM of girlfriend with her mouth wide open? Looks like an audition for the part of Linda Lovelace in the Deep Throat movie. Thought Lohan had that wrapped up?
Is this a subliminal message about how guys really think of Palin and her army of cheerleader clones?

Another GOP Bimbo Eruption
The Republican Party has become Amazon Country...the party of real, imaginary women and girly men.
John McCain had absolutely no idea what he was about to start when he chose that fresh faced Sarah Palin as his running mate back in 2008. The “babe” as Mount Rushbaugh called her at the time, was totally unqualified to be tapped as a candidate for vice president, and most pundits figured her selection was merely McCain's way of giving up without having to actually say, “no mas.”
The election was a landslide that republicans continue to this day, to spin as a close race, that Palin/McCain almost won, making Palin a household name instead of relegating her to the fate of trivia question answer as is the fate of most VP's successful or otherwise.
Looking back, the only thing really new about the Palin choice was the fact that she was a real live girl instead of the girly men of recent GOP history, like Dan Quayle or George W. Except for gender, both of these less than he man types have more in common with the intellectually challenged Palin then they did with the rugged Ronald Reagan or even George the first variations on the usual vanilla masters of the universe theme.
Nobody on the GOP side cared if these dimmer than usual bulbs destroyed the world as they studied for their foreign affairs policy credentials, and they were apparently willing to let Sarah study on the job as well, witness her continuing occupation of center stage these days.
Now comes 2010, and the Bimbo Eruption is on full blast. The original and real live Bimbo having decided to make money and to play kingmaker instead of be king, proving that she may not be as dumb as we all like to think, is being cloned. The GOP is looking for a new “Sarah” that looks, acts, talks and feels exactly like the original.
Fresh out of Delaware and in competition for the seat vacated by Joe Biden comes Christine O'Donnell, the latest teabagger heart throb. O'Donnell couldn't be elected dog catcher, let alone US Senator, if you listened to the pre election hype. Yet, somehow she managed to upset a veteran republican for Biden's old seat.
Christine was endorsed by the prototype and shares similar views, meaning she is an abstinance candidate among other things, going so far as to say that masturbation should be illegal and adultery a crime.
Adultery a crime? No wonder she doesn't sit well with the regular honchos of the GOP. But Lady Sarah is happy, no doubt, since another of her “mini-mes” has emerged victorious. Wonder if Sarah will introduce Chrissy to her witch doctor? Oh wait, Chrissy had one on the podium behind her last night, except she called him her lawyer.
But it must be remembered that this is just a primary. In other words it was a family quarrel. It wasn't the battle or the war. She still has to face the “other America.” You know, those of us who don't belong in this country according to their faction of the GOP. Truth be told, she probably would not have won if the GOP members had turned out to vote, which they didn't.
Because like all of these “teabagger victories” nobody is turning out to vote. Something that the MSM fails to put into perspective. The wins are minority wins from within the minority. If 50% of those eligible took part, then it might have been significant, maybe. But in all cases...from Joe Miller in Alaska, to Sharron Angle in Nevada, to Nikki what's her name in South Carolina, to Rand Paul in Kentucky, to Carly Fiorina and Meg Whitman in California...nobody is turning out to vote...But this is normal for primaries in America. Party faithful elect the candidates, while the electorate chooses the winners.
So to recap we have the Drama Queen from Wasilla begetting Nikki Haley, the maybe adultress from the Palmetto State who begat Rand Paul the clueless from Kentucky, who begat Sharron “I see aliens everywhere” Angle from the desert, who begat Joe “please don't make me drive” Miller from Alaska, who begat Christine the giant killer from Delaware.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm....Who's in trouble in November, again?

Poor People-Caught in the Crossfire
The on-going war by white guys against the black guy in the White House....
Man, that was quick. Less than 24 hours after he who would be speaker of the house stated he was willing to compromise on tax cuts for the rich and famous, John Boehner got
knee capped by Miz Mitch McConnell.
knee capped by Miz Mitch McConnell.
McConnell said “hell no, we ain't gonna compromise with no democrats!” If the rich don't get a tax break, then neither will the middle class.
Damn the middle class, he said in so many words. And the truly onerous part of all this is that several Democrats are going to side with the GOP as they thumb their noses
at us.
at us.
In one weekend, we've heard “screw the middle the class,” and “no jobs bill” and we'll hold our breath and “shut down the whole government” if we don't get our way immediately.
To add insult to injury, the GOP is promising to mount Clinton impeachment-like investigations of President Obama if they are able to take control of Congress come November.
For those of you who may not remember, the Clintons both of them, spent much of their time battling false allegations hurled at them by the GOP, just because they could.
Nothing....Nothing the GOP said was true....their only intent was to paralyze government.
Nothing....Nothing the GOP said was true....their only intent was to paralyze government.
Trust me...it will be worse...if they officially go after Obama...given what they've been doing to him these past four years..
And then...there is this insistence on continuing Voodoo Economics...or suppy side economics...or trickle down economics...It's all the same crap no matter what you call it. I
like what Geraldine Ferraro said about it back in the day...

“I'd call it a new version of voodoo economics, but I'm afraid that would give witch doctors a bad name.” -Geraldine Ferraro
For those who have no clue...voodoo economics was a termed coined by the first President Bush to describe Ronald Reagan's economic plan for America...that same one that the
GOP keeps shoving down our collective throats and is destroying the country as we speak. Of course, Reagan made Bush his Vice President and suddenly Voodoo Economics became an acceptable way to screw poor people.

Trickle down, or Supply side, whatever you want to call it, theorizes that by cutting taxes...you stimulate supply of goods and products and at the same time...increase demand
for those supplies and products....These witch doctors also theorize that a market flooded with product, increases labor and keeps prices lower...
for those supplies and products....These witch doctors also theorize that a market flooded with product, increases labor and keeps prices lower...
Allrighty then....while this may look good on paper....it does not work in the real world....ever...and you only have to look at the past 20 years to see that...
Reaganomics, to use the good term...worked wonders for rich people....they got the tax cuts...but rather than “trickle it down” they put in the bank and invested it for their own benefit...
Left poor people hanging and government bereft of much needed income for providing services...as a result...the government had to resort to borrowing money...which is
why we're up to our ass in alligators and in debt to China....Later for speaking Spanish..ya'll better be about learning Mandarin, it's so bad...

Under Reagan's voodoo economics....the deficit quadrupled....when Reagan actually campaigned on the promise that he would balance the budget in four years...then it was “okay” I'll do it in the next four years....Didn't happen..
Not then...won't happen now...not under voodoo econ 101....
And when you add outsourcing the American job market to other third world countries...you have complete and utter economic disaster....just like what we're going
through now...
through now...
No income to pull us out of the recession...because of the demand by the right to give tax cuts to those who don't need them...
No jobs for those who need them, because the jobs market has moved overseas and will not come back.
A government shutdown...well it may happen, if the GOP and Newt and his mini mes return to Capital Hill..
And some stupid Democrats are saying that maybe if we use supply side econ in a properly controlled situation, then maybe it will work for us...REALLY?
We have a game like that....played by idiots...it's called Russian Roulette...
I ain't suicidal....and I do know what happens when you put a gun to your head and pull the trigger...
Miz Mitch and Eric-boy Cantor want to pretend that they are really giving the tax cuts to small business, which is another bogus claim...John Boehner also admitted this during
his Sunday bubble of lucidity....Boehner admitted that only about 3% of small business would pay higher taxes under the tax plan put forth by President Obama.
his Sunday bubble of lucidity....Boehner admitted that only about 3% of small business would pay higher taxes under the tax plan put forth by President Obama.
THAT MEANS THAT 97% OF SMALL BUSINESS WILL GET A TAX CUT UNDER THE OBAMA PLAN....It is nothing more than “Screw Obama” by any means necessary...
“The only truly new ideas [the right] has come up with in the last twenty years are (1) supply side economics, which is a way of redistributing the wealth upward toward
those who already have more than they know what to do with, and (2) creationism, which is a parallel idea for redistributing ignorance out from its fundamentalist strongholds to those who know more than they need to.” -Anonymous

John Boehner-The Man Who Would be Speaker
Wants to kill social security, medicare and medicaid...
Kill health care reform...
and extend the Bush tax cuts to the tune of trillions of dollars added to the deficit
So who is this guy? He's been called the Orange one or the Oompa Loompa from Ohio. By virtual of his own admission, he'd rather be playing golf and in fact, has two country club memberships somewhere in West Chester, Ohio. He reportedly played 119 rounds last year. Sounds like he'd rather be Tiger Woods.
There are reports circulating that if you want to talk with John Boehner after 5pm you need to go to the nearest GOP waterhole, and check the bar. Don't know about that for sure, I do know he has Dean Martin eyes, but then Dean Martin was only a fake drunk. So draw your own conclusions about that rumor.
Officially, John Boehner is the GOP House Minority Leader in Congress. He represents the 8th District in Ohio, which is in suburban Cincinnati. He was born in Cincinnati and is one of 12 children as well as a graduate of Moeller High School when it was still an all boys school. Boehner is Catholic and conservative. Boehner told the Cincinnati Enquirer during a sit down interview yesterday, that he will kill the health care law, among other things. You can read it here.
Boehner's political career was born in a sex scandal...not his....Donald “Buz” Lukens...another GOP Congressman who couldn't keep his pants zipped. Back in 1989, while Boehner was still a state representative, Lukens got caught paying a 16 year old black girl to have sex with him. He reportedly gave her $40. A local TV station found the girl's mother and got her to confront the Congressman on camera.
At the time, the prosecutor said that Lukens had been having sex with the girl since she was 13, but he couldn't prove it, so he didn't bring the case at the time. Lukens was kicked out of Congress a few years later for accepting bribes.
Boehner won the run off for Lukens seat and has been in Congress ever since.
He's been super conservative as any good Moeller graduate would be, usually hypocritically so.
Boehner, was also party to another Republican sex scandal, when he admitted to an ethics panel knowing about Congressman Mark Foley's predilection for young male pages, almost a year before the story broke. The thing is, by this time Boehner was a member of the GOP ruling elite and in a position to do the right thing. But he didn't.
Instead of going to bat for the beleagured young pages and stopping Foley's sexual harrassment, Boehner did nothing, choosing to protect his fellow member by keeping quiet, until the story leaked.
It's interesting to note that Boehner just yesterday called for more investigation of Eric Massa the democrat who couldn't keep his hands off his male staffers. Massa has resigned, just like Foley did, back then. Massa was pushed to resign by the Democratic leadership, rather than stay quiet like Boehner and his boys did on Foley.
Since health care reform was passed by Congress, Boehner has been measuring himself against the President, seemingly testing the waters to see if the idea of a “President Boehner” would float. He's doing it covertly of course. Astute politician that he is, Boehner knows that presidential candidates have to have a personality, and a name that won't provoke instant gut busting laughter.
Speaker of the House Boehner is funny enough, but he is already measuring his office for new drapes to come after the GOP sweeps back into power in a few weeks...Boehner's prediction.
Never the less, he is making what he calls major policy addresses on the economy such as the speech he gave in Cleveland a few weeks back, where he presented his plan for economic recovery.
The Boehner Plan would cost taxpayers approximately $3.781 trillion throughout the following decade, according to the CBO (Congressional Budget Office).
This from a guy who says the deficit is already too big.

That Muslims will be stripped of their citizenship, even if they were born here....
That Pat Boone will do a cover of Gin n Juice and rocket to the top of the BillBoard Charts, putting vanilla rock back in control on the radio...

White People, The Last Slaves in America
Got a question for you, white people....now that the rich elite have destroyed the middle class, what are you going to do?
There is no middle ground anymore....poor white people are back to being on equal footing with black people....just like back in slavery days in America.
Prior to 1670....poor white people were treated the same as an African slave....Then rich whites got scared.....because when you added black slaves to white indentured servants....the rich guys who owned the plantations were greatly outnumbered...
They feared the po' folks would come in the night and slit their throats and steal their property, in similar fashion to what happened in France during the beheadings in the Revolution....
So they created laws to divide and conquer....stacked the deck, if you will...convinced poor whites they were better than black people....that they were just like rich people...except for the money and property, of course...made them think they could marry their rich daughters and become just like them...wink, wink...They had white skin and were christian....not like those uncivilized non christian blacks from Africa...you can read here
And poor whites jumped at the chance to be seen as the same...not equal....never equal...because who doesn't want to better themselves...the choice is understandable....
But understand.....racism....has always really been about class....not skin color.....
The game they created back in the day is still working today...... rich people sit back and watch poor white people...the “scum of the earth”(their words for you) do battle for them against the black African “savages”(their words for us)...
An on-going gladiator contest......you against us....them in the stands...
The tea party, the libertarian party, the AIP, the GOP and the Democrats.. for that matter are not and never were grass roots organizations....they are funded by rich people like Dick Armey, George Soros....Liz Cheney...Dick Cheney...The billionaire Koch brothers....or the Rupert Murdochs of the world...
The tea party is led by millionaires named Sarah and Glen and Rush....they don't give a damn about you...they talk for their money...they will say whatever money will have them say...
Think about it.....
They talk about tax cuts.....tax cuts for who....you've already got them....Continuing the Bush tax cuts will add a trillion dollars to the deficit and effectively bind your children and grandchildren into modern day slavery to their off spring for years and years to come....
Reagan quadrupled the deficit....Bush put the deficit into the stratosphere and nearly bankrupted the country and the world....
Spending has been out of control for years....it didn't just happen within the past two years....
Health care.....they've got it or can afford to buy it.....what about you....
Social Security....they want to do away with it.....they don't need it....they have retirement plans and golden parachutes....
Jobs....they don't need them.....they have them......you're lazy because you can't find one...and you don't need unemployment insurance...makes you lazier...
Houses.....yours is foreclosed.....theirs....they probably walked away from a mortgage or two or three...saved em some money...
Schools....they can afford the best education that money can buy....they don't need affirmative action...they have legacies....what do you have poor white people...
Perennial wars.....they don't fight them....you do.....Cheney got five deferments...said he had other priorities then protecting his country.....George W went AWOL for a year....Mitch McConnell got some mysterious discharge...hidden and secret to this day.....
Even when they join they don't serve....they have you as cannon fodder......their kids go to college...yours die in some god forsaken country on the other side of the world...sometimes killed by friendly fire....quietly buried so you never find out the truth....
NAFTA....global trade....outsourced jobs from America....the rich get richer...bigger profits....America dies....middle class disappears....
This didn't happen in the past two years....this has been going on for the past 30-40 years...
That cushion making you seemingly better than blacks is gone...you're in the same boat...as a Mexican swimming the Rio Grande to freedom...
But you'd never know it to hear you talk about it...They control you with fear....nothing more...your fear of being seen as the same as a black or brown man.....
Listen to poor whites....in the same boat as poor blacks....and what do they say.....they admit there are problems...
no jobs....no benefits....too many wars.....but they blame blacks and browns and other things..
To be sure....some whites have awakened and do understand....the ones who went after the Wall Street rich guys in their exclusive neighborhoods...rattled a few enclaves...
Scared the rich guys...but not enough....they still make huge profts while the rest of us flounder...
If we're to take any lessons from history....then it should come from the French Revolution and go after the guys behind the big iron gates....
Time to go band together on our common ground...and go after those who have always had the cake..
Time for us to eat some too...
Isn't it time for you to take the blinders off and to vote for your own self interest...rather than the rich white guy who is spitting at you like he spits at me?

Friday Rap
Unemployment figures for September....9.6%.....compare that to 25% out of work when FDR took over the last time the GOP screwed us big.......
-0-
“Sometimes, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one..........” This according to Mr. Spock as he sacrificed himself in one of the early Star Trek Movies...
America needs this type of sacrifice from its top tenth...the ones who benefit from the Bush's insane tax cuts...Time to give em back and save the American Taxpayer 700-billion dollars on the deficit..this figure according to the CBO
And while the GOP is ramping up its efforts to screw the taxpayer....there are Democrats who are joining them in their war on the Middle Class.
Many are now saying the tax cuts will not be repealed.....I hope the pundits are wrong about this...
The White House needs to take a hard stance for a change....some things are not negotiable...ever...
Such as the welfare of the quickly disappearing Middle Class...

Jan Brewer.....Linda McMahon.....Carly Fiorina....Meg Whitman....Sarah Palin....Michele Bachmann.....Sharron Angle......
And I once thought women were the salvation of this country...
Damn!
It's like that Greek myth with the three witches who had one good eye between them and had to pass it around so all three could see once in a while....except these fools are playing pass the brain and it must have been dropped on one of the laterals...
Lost....totally lost....

Fresh off her victory lap with Glen Beck last weekend, Sarah Palin gets profiled by Vanity Fair Magazine. You can read it here.
I think a Palin/Brewer ticket in 2012 is just what America needs.
You betcha!
Sharron Angle is denying she said the feds should not have sent aid to all Katrina victims....she was only in favor of letting the Black and brown ones drown....

And what's up with Ohio refusing to honor Puerto Rican birth certificates? The Ohio Dept. of Motor Vehicles won't take the PR certificates as proof of identity.....
Last time I looked Puerto Rico was part of America....same as Hawaii and Samoa....brown and American...what's the problem, Huh?
Ohio....the northernest, southern state in America...But then us natives have always known that...you ain't seen racism until you been to Ohio...

First image released by Tyler Perry of his version of "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide, When the Rainbow is Enough"
I like the cast....so I'm curious to see this version. I just hope Madea is not in this or represented in anyway.
I'm not mad at Tyler like some folks....he is the only one employing black people and making movies...using his own money....You own the money in America...you rule...Don't like Tyler....then go buy a movie studio and make better movies...otherwise...
STFU!

Vivian and the Koch Brothers
Pay No Attention to the Woman on Your TV
At first I thought I was seeing Whoopi Goldberg in drag. But when I refocused I saw that it was an actor doing an imitation of what white people think is a respectable looking Black woman. You know what I'm talking about, little or no makeup, conservative cut suit in a flashy pastel color, big straight church lady hair, dark complected, and I'd bet if we could see her feet, sensible black pumps with two inch stack heels. No Jimmy Choos, and none of that Halle Berry butterscotch skin.
The only thing missing was the church lady hat. And her name is Vivian....Vivian Washington. Not as common as Smith or Jackson, but a step up from Johnson.
Vivian Washington is the latest face of Americans for Prosperity Foundation, better known as the attack group funded by the Koch brothers.
The Koch brothers are right wing nut job billionaires who spend a great deal of money keeping America crippled and controlled by the super rich. Charles and David Koch are currently under investigation for white collar fraud.
According to investigators the Kochs have a history of routinely breaking the law, political manipulation and lying to the public to get their way with the American people. They do this simply because they can having been born masters of the universe.
The Americans for Prosperity Foundation is supposed to be a charity and is in fact exempted from paying taxes, which makes the Vivian Washington attack ad illegal.
Tax exempt organizations such as foundations and churches can't by law, cross over into politics. The Vivian Washington attack ad is all politics and nothing more.
It is an attempt to convince people to return the GOP to power. My guess is that since Vivian looks like she does, it is a direct attempt to make Black people think, the GOP is our friend, and gives a damn about us and our problems.
I hope the actor playing Vivian got paid, because the ad is not really convincing, unless you think in stereotypes or maybe have one black friend in you array of acquaintances.
Vivian made me laugh. Then she made me cry. Then she made angry because it shows just how far we still have to go to be taken seriously in this country.

And This One Belongs to the GOP!
Boehner wants Republicans to have credit for Iraq....Okay!
The Congressman from Oompa Loompa land, John Boehner, gave a speech yesterday, attempting to preempt the President's speech on Iraq, last night. He of the terminal orange glow billed his talk to the American Legion National Convention as a major policy address. This was Boehner's second attempt at major policy in the past couple of weeks.
We all know he expects to be Speaker of the House, come November 3rd. After all, he's been telling us this for months, now.
Boehner wants to remind us that our president was against the surge in Iraq, and that the GOP should be given the credit for the strategy. Fine!
"Some leaders who opposed, criticized, and fought tooth and nail to stop the surge strategy now proudly claim credit for the results. One in the US House of Representatives declared the surge a failure before it was even implemented...Today we mark not the defeat those voices anticipated--but progress. And I want to thank President Obama for setting aside his past political rhetoric and recognizing the importance of the surge and the diplomatic agreement signed by President Bush and Prime Minister Maliki."-John Boehner
Go ahead, John, take all the credit, every stinking bit of it. Today marks the first day since March, 2003 that America has not been at war in Iraq, since the NeoCons of the GOP decided to pillage the country and take down Saddam Hussein, for no apparent reason.
Oh they gave us several reasons.....from being involved in the conspiracy on 9/11....to the need to confiscate Hussein's invisible weapons of mass destruction....to bringing democracy to the Middle East and Iraq was the first country to be democratized( new word-see what the snowbilly started)......finally to Saddam is a bad guy who hates Americans and needs to die.....
No mention of Osama Bin Laden...you know, the guy who has the penthouse overlooking Central Park and hates everything American.
But the Boehner led GOP is welcome to take credit for him, too. They armed him and the Taliban, after all. The real secret in Afghanistan is that we're fighting ourselves..but that's another story for another day.
Obama should take credit for what was accomplished in Iraq. He successfully brought home the hundreds of thousands of American troops who busted their ass for us in a terrible war that never should have been. The President rightfully honored these men and women for their seven and a half years of sacrifice, while the rest of us whined and moaned over the antics of Jon and Kate plus 8 or the Mormon boy with the magic underwear named Glen Beck. We have that luxury thanks to the troops...4427 of whom will never walk this earth again...
The President also promised to take care of the veterans, a promise also made repeatedly by the GOP but rarely kept. Remember how screwed up and out of date Walter Reed Hospital was found to be in the middle of the Iraq fiasco?
Boehner and his GOP are welcome to take credit for all the phony reasons why we went there and all the stuff that followed as a result.
He is welcome to take credit for letting Afghanistan spin so out of control and into the mess it is now because of the fake war in Iraq.
The first Oompa Loompa is welcome to take credit for all the obtuse and logic defying rationales used by Bush and the rest of the GOP to justify their illegal actions.
Actions that have economically devastated this country and brought America to its knees.
So, you go boy! Jump in. While the rest of us turn the corner, you take
all the credit.
You guys really do own this one!
