Friday Rap-Election Week Postmortem Edition

Well, the mid terms are over and just when I think America has broken out of the groundhog loop and righted the ship, they fall backward again.

I mean how many times, do we have to repeat this loop before people realize that repeating crazy results in crazy.

It's not as bad as it seems, except maybe here in Ohio, where now we have rich men in power, again determined to keep an already backward state in the dark ages of transportation and education, among other things.

Kasich returns this time to the governor's office, thanks to his wall street friends and he has signaled that he is not going to allow anyone else to grow, starting with dismantling the progress that outgoing Ted Strickland began.

Every single “new guy” elected this cycle was in Congress when Dubya and company trashed this country. Every single one of them....Kasich....Portman...Chabot....Boehner...and Schmidt...

Every single one of them a professional politician...the very ones who destroyed Congress..

These are all old establishment white guys whose only concern is keeping power. If they really and truly had a clue or a solution...We, as a country would not be in the trouble that we're in today.

You voted for them...this is what you got.....All of them are against anything LGBT...All of them are against affirmative action and civil rights equality of minorities.....All of them want to privatize social security......All of them favor dismantling the Department of Education and Veteran's Administration, despite claiming to support our troops, which they all voted to send to Bush's illegal wars....This is the way they voted the last time they had power...and as for women...well....barefoot and pregnant and not in the workforce is their preference for us...

Time to take your medicine Ohio...open your mouth...or maybe I should say....bend over....

Dubya

George W has a book coming out and the good stuff is already leaking....stuff like Sarah Palin is not qualified to be president.... and that McCain should never have selected her as running mate ..

I will take it even further...I think McCain on some internal levels selected her because he really didn't want the presidency either, and this was his way of doing a crash burn like those three fighter jets he crashed back in his heyday as a fighter pilot..

151,000 jobs added last month...the economy continues to grow...yet Obama is still considered a screw up by many people in this country...go figure...

Hey Boehner....we out of the hole yet? Where's the plan, man?

Diversity on Capitol Hill

The MSM is crowing about the new diversity in Congress. You can read it right here. 

Until Congress really, resembles America, meaning more women than men, in addition to more Blacks, Latinos and Asians, it is not a diverse body. It remains a body dominated by old white guys.

Michael Jackson

Michael has a new album coming out next month and typical of  MJ, there is controversy with his friends and family saying the voice is not his, but that of a sound alike.

Personally, I think Michael's diggin' it. He transitioned like Obi Wan when the Jedi allowed his student to “kill” him and as a result strengthened the force. Considering how much money Michael has made since he became one with the force, he is probably very happy and finally content.

We Got By....some positivity from Al Jarreau...

Friday Rap

My new favorite Congressman..the gentleman from New York.  Wish Obama could express this kind of fire without paying the price for being Black...





Another peaceful outreach from one of our upstanding Christian ministers....The Reverend Terry Jones...he of the Dove World Outreach program....wants to mark the anniversary of 9/11 by burning a Quran.

That will teach them 1.4 billion muzlims, he says..that they can't knock down our buildings...

Great way to get their attention anyway.....what ever happened to sitting down over a cup of something and talking out our differences?

Oh...I forgot.....we bombed Iraq....mindlessly support Israel....and can't seem to get out of Afghanistan, while keeping our nukes pointed at Iran, another quagmire of our making...

Who needs the lesson...and who's the bad guy again?

O-M-GEE!

Ellen and Kara leaving American Idol.....Following Simon out the door.....oh what a world...what a world!

Like we didn't already know it was a popularity contest anyway to see which shaggy haired sorta talented cute boy was going to win as voted by all the prepubescent 14 year olds with speed dial cell phones and text messaging...

Chelsea Wedding

Chelsea's Clinton's getting married to the tune of $3 million and folks are hyperventilating about the cost....WHY? It's not taxpayer money....

This is not somebody's baby mama marrying a high school dropout while shopping a reality show deal, being celebrated here...

Chelsea never got caught misusing drugs or being drunk in public like a certain set of twins who occupied the white house... nobody batted an eye about that wedding down in Crawford, Tx...or how much it cost..

This is the only child of one of the most successful power couples in the known universe...and she's marrying a kindred spirit...

What is the problem?

Obama snooping

One of my biggest problems with the Obama Administration is it's wholesale embrace of all things Bush when it comes to curtailing our civil liberties...We lost a lot of freedoms under the Bush Administration....

Obama campaigned saying he would restore them.....he has not...

In fact....he is asking that the powers invested in those National Letters that Bush used, to be expanded...

Bush used the National Letters ...which are nothing more than “no knock” search warrants without prior court approval.....to bully libraries into turning over lists of the books we read...bully banks into turning over private banking records...and phone companies to look at phone calls....

Now they want more power to go after all of our emails and web browsing history...

This from the man who said he wouldn't do this kind of stuff....When in fact...the death of our freedoms has speeded up under Obama..

The problem with expanding the powers of the Executive Branch is not with the President who made the expansion...it's the presidents who come after and refuse to relinquish the increased power and authority.

BP Oil Spill

Is it just me.....or was there too much unfounded and overblown angst over the BP oil spill.....Mother Nature seems to have taken care of the problem pretty much...nothing's ever perfect..

Let's open the waters...why don't we....so the fishermen can get back to work …

On to the next blown out of proportion catastrophe..

Feds take down two very rich white guys known for funding swift boat attacks on democrats...550 million dollars in fraud alleged....Read it here..

Given their age, bought and purchased political connections, as well as their natural complexion hidden under those Texas tans..they probably won't a spend a day in jail regardless of how many people they swindled..

All the Right Moves

The GOP is filibustering aid to small business and health care to 9/11 responders...

This after holding up unemployment benefits to those out of work...calling them lazy and shiftless and telling them to get off their asses and go find a job...

Yet...they still think they are going to win in November....

hmmmmmmm..I'll take that bet...

Al Jarreau..Shout out to Mr. Jarreau who was taken ill and had surgery this week. Get well soon....He is one of the nicest guys in the world who I was privileged to meet several years ago...
