Hey Homes, You Pissin' Me Off, Man!

(Open letter # 3 to President Obama)

"These people are saying we are going to insist on tax cuts for the richest people in the country and we don't care if they are paid for, and we don't think it is a problem if it contributes to the deficit, but we are not going to vote to extend unemployment benefits to working people if they aren't paid for because they contribute to the deficit.”-Ted Strickland

WOW!

Tight! Perfect soundbite....but it didn't come from you, Homes. It came from my soon to be ex governor who took the bullet for you, man. He's gone..too late to save him. What you sayin'.. sorry?

Naw..all we got from you was more of the same BS you been talkin the past two years...you apologized to the wrong people on Tuesday, after another so called bipartisan sitdown in your office... what did you say...”sorry I haven't done enough outreach to the GOP.”

What the hell was that?

Where's the outreach to the people who elected you, Homes? You know the ones who are losing their jobs...their houses.....their ability to look their families in the eye and tell em it's gonna be okay?

Where's the apology to them for not standing up to the crazies who are trying to destroy this country rather than let the rest of us live here with them?

They have been telling you since day one, they are not going to work with you. Their only purpose is to destroy you. They ain't lyin' to ya bra.

THESE... FOOLS... ARE.... SERIOUS!

Talk about a high tech lynching...Man you sittin' on a horse with your hands tied behind your back, waiting for them to locate the perfect tree for you necktie festivities.

What don't you understand about that?

There can be no compromise....There should be no compromise....It is perfectly plain....permanent tax cuts increase the deficit....

It's a no brainer, man...
Even Jose Feliciano can see this...

Since you're a sports junkie...let me paint a picture that you might understand....comes from the old Burt Reynolds movie called The Longest Yard..

During the climactic game against the guards...word trickles down that the QB has once again sold out...the team...angry...stops playing...and let's golden boy take the hits..

This is where you are Homes...you're in a team sport....but due to your seeming lack of leadership...your team is quitting on you..because they no longer believe in you..

Reynolds does ultimately beat the guards in a perfectly scripted Hollywood ending...

But this ain't the movies, Homes...this is real...

Homes...you need to make some moves...call out some signals...change the game...or you're going to be sacked and penalized..

Think of it this way....4^th down and inches.....your name is Franco Harris...or 4 seconds on the clock your name is Michael Jordan and you're playing against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round...and the ball has been inbounded to you..........

What you gonna do Homes?

Huh?

Friday Rap

So, tell me again why we're in Afghanistan and why we need to send in more troops?

How about bringing home the troops and turning Special Ops forces loose on Pakistan and what's left of Al Qaeda in the mountains along the border....

I'm sayin' let the dogs out and let em do what they been trained to do, which is kill our enemies...neutralize their followers and come home...

Let the troops who kill Bin Laden split the 25 million dollar bounty on his head..

Olympia Snowe....looks like she's gonna bail if Health Care Reform contains a public option...Word today is that the Democrats in the Senate don't need her vote....

Good!

I will say it again.....Health Care Reform WITHOUT a public option is merely another subsidy for the insurance/health industry...

Wall Street's pissed off that Obama wants to take away their bonuses and halve their salaries......They say the people are going to suffer since They can't make all the money......

I'll take my chances.....The middle class is disappearing because of all that money at the top...that is not trickling down....

We bailed them out with our taxes....they are hoarding what we gave them...refusing to lend it out and make it work for the country....

And they still want to make mega million bonuses...so they can buy yachts while the rest of the starve...

Sounds like Marie Antoinette...let them eat cake syndrome....And you know what happened to her and the other aristocrats of the era...

I say we dust off the guillotine....

A question of civil liberties..... man gets up at 5:30 in the morning....goes downstairs and makes a cup of coffee in his kitchen and gets arrested for public indecency.....He was nekkid in his own house...in his own kitchen and it was still dark outside....

Yet....a cop's wife said she was walking her kid to school and saw him...in his kitchen...drinking coffee....nekkid.......

Who's at fault here....the guy inside his house.....or the peeping tom who called police......

Happened Monday in Virginia..

The expanded Hate Crimes Bill has now passed the Senate...All Obama has to do is sign it to make it official.....Or...he can leave it on his desk for ten days and it becomes law...

either way....We win...

Note to Michael Jordan's son Marcus......Baby...it's not about you or the shoes....It was about your Dad....

Until you deserve to wear his shoes....you shouldn't.....lace up the Addidas, shut the F*** up and keep your spoiled ass in school.....

More balloon boy...stuff....

Seems Falcon and his brother mixed up a bowl of booger laced soup for their mother....I can just see me doing something like when I was young.....

My mother would have made eat every bit and then whupped my ass...all the while telling me to respect my elders or die in the process.....

-0-

Just say no......

I'm still trying to understand this sweat lodge thing where three people have now died.....I can't understand how grown people can let someone convince them to continue doing something that is obviously killing them....

This was not a Jim Jones kool aid moment when folks didn't know that the kool aid was laced with cyanide....this was adults refusing to look after themselves...bowing to the whims of yet another false prophet....

Hope they got their money back for the fiasco....

I hope the families of the dead sue the charlatan for every cent he's got...

People search and search looking for God...when the truth is that God is...and you don't need anyone else to talk for you....no middleman necessary...

Thinking Out Loud

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..
