Open letter to Ann Romney
First of all, let me congratulate you on somehow passing off a criticism of you as a criticism of all mothers.  That shit was genius.  You pulled it off but sadly, it was complete bullshit.

Yes, you did have five children, which is respectable, but if you think your plight as a muti-millionaire mom is somehow comparable to a woman working at WalMart or waiting tables you are as out of touch with reality as your husband.  Something tells me you may have had a little more help in the child rearing than your average mom.
Let’s face facts.  Rich white women aren’t usually the most industrious people in America.  The good moms of the world help shape tomorrow’s leaders.  Your husband’s money will be the leading influence in the direction of your children, not your values or the values you instilled in them.  That’s not your fault but it is what it is.  Your husband’s money is the reason why you could afford to have five children and not enter the workforce to feed them.  You must be crazy to think that they don’t know that.  Neither of their parents have put sweat in to anything that lead to your opulence.  To think you can associate yourself with hardworking moms in this country is a joke.

I may not agree with any pundit attacking you personally to take jabs at Mitt Romney, but if you are going to contribute to his campaign, you have to be prepared for that and you are no more the average mom than Mitt is the average father.
When so many of the democrats failed to handle the spin you put on what was a personal attack, I was marveled at their stupidity.  Nobody was attacking motherhood.  They are attacking you.  If you somehow managed to keep them off of you by representing yourself as an “every woman” then you are twice the politician your husband will ever be.  However, I wasn’t impressed.  A lot of mothers weren’t either.

You are correct in assuming that an attack on mothers is an attack on you.  Your problem is that believing an attack on you is also an attack on motherhood.  Just because having babies has been the only thing you have been good for to this point doesn’t mean you are the epitome of motherhood.  Your history is a bit of a mystery so there may be other things that you are good for; being a trophy wife notwithstanding.

If you really want to prove you are such a good mother.  Perhaps getting your children to corroborate your story may help.  If you want to be seen as a hard working woman, all you have to do is provide examples of you doing something other than smiling and living in luxury.

I’m sorry if you feel like I’m jumping on you but you probably should have answered the initial attack before you decided to lump yourself in the same category with so many hard working moms in this country that don’t have the advantages that you have.

Maury must be stopped. No one has profited more from Black people being ignorant than he.   I know the old saying: “Mama’s baby, Papa’s maybe.” But, contrary to popular belief, Black men love their children.   Everyone loves children.   Even if Black men realize that they aren’t bringing much to a household, they know that there is magic there.   That magic might be scary, like all magic, but it’s there.   There isn’t much difference between the love that develops between a man and a child with his D.N.A.   and a man that a child that he has raised. I am my father’s son.   No, I’m not light skinned or a hustler, but I laugh when I hear something funny.   I’ll sit on a porch and dink liquor all Saturday morning.   My toes are extraordinarily long (just like his).   I will see a beautiful woman and take notice just because I am a man and that’s what a man does.   My dad raised me well. When you see a Black man on Maury, y...

Snitching and power

It feels good to feel like you are a somebody.   I understand.   And when you’re sitting on a secret, it’s only natural to want to share with people that great knowledge that only you possess.   That being said, snitching is snitching.   If you’re going to snitch, you damned sure better have a reason.   Eric Snowden decided that the world should know what he knew.   No matter how you reacted to the revelation that the NSA has been tracking phone records, you should realize that Snowden let this out the bag for a reason… and it wasn’t the one he gave. He said that it was in the name of democracy and transparency but lets’ be clear.   Our democracy is not based on what we know about the workings of the federal government.   As a matter of fact, just about everything the American people figure out about the government, we get kind of upset about.   That’s not a knock on this administration either.   The idea behind our system of g...

2016 is Godspeak for "Do Better"

Time flies at the same rate in every moment.  We know this because, you know, watches and shit.  This year seemed to sort of drag on but I am well aware it wasn't time's fault.  It was mine.  There was totally not enough money, sex and drugs to keep my mind occupied.  I guess my resolution for next year is to do better.  Here go how: Stop Smoking Again: Yes, I'm still smoking Black and Milds.  Yes I know It's 1999, yes I know about cancer.  It is the source of much self hate and I tell myself I should stop...until I run out.  I'll do better; pinky swear it. Drink Better Liquor: I know you are thinking "Why don't you stop drinking?"  The answer to that is "Because I'm a fucking adult."  That being said, my stomach is 15 years in to this drank life and it has no room for McRibs, dry turkey or vodka with sugar in it.  It's Absolut and better for me in the 2016.  Good thing I'm saving all that Black and Mild mo...
