you're better off with Eastwood

I've finally calmed down from watching the Republican National Convention and it is sad to say, the person that lied and contradicted himself the least was talking to an imaginary person.  Yeah, i'll say it again, the most honest person at the RNC was rambling and talking to an empty chair. 

There is something wrong with a party that truly believes that God wants Americans to be better off than every other country in the world.  We thin we are the chosen people.  Its like were turning into Israel 2.0.

There is something wrong with a party that truly believes that they're not rich enough when they are the richest collection of people in the world.

There is something wrong with a party that thinks if that they trot out enough tokens, they will magically convince us all that they are inclusive.

The thing I'm not sure about is if they think we're stupid enough to believe them or do they actually believe some of the trash they spew.  I miss Sarah Palin.  She was an idiot but you could tell she believed the crap she was saying.  You can't tell what Mitt Romney is actually thinking about anything.  I know he thinks that getting rich people even richer is a good thing but he doesn't even have a comprehensive plan to make it happen.  Oh, he'll cut their taxes but they pay the lowest tax rates anyway.  Also, how the hell do you criticize people for running up the debt but you continually promote military action which is the biggest waste of money you can have... outside of an election of course.  The whole republican platform is to spend money over seas and cut taxes.  That is how we got into debt in the first freaking place!

Clint Eastwood did offer one solid piece, though.  It is alright to make a change.  There is nothing fundamentally wrong with voting for who you like, ask Bill Clinton, but you really should have a BETTER option before you start leaning on that message.

Does a better option have a Swiss bank account?  Do we want a president that openly hides money in tax shelters?  That's just ridiculous.

Don't tell that to republicans though.  They are nothing if not dedicated to the cause.  They don't care about rationality or reality and it really is sad that they rely so heavily on zealotry.  Love them or not, they are a good percentage of the country.

It is symbolic that Clint would talk to an empty chair.  Republicans only seem to debate against words they put in people's mouths anyway.  The real question is, how long will it be before Americans get fed up with this silliness?

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...

For my friends that considered suicide when having a nigga in your corner isn't enough

I remember wanting to die.  I didn't want to kill myself per se, I just wished that I could just go the fuck away.  I was a young, skinny teenager that wasn't looking forward to anything outside of video games.  What kind of life is that? But teenage life is always stupid.  When the lead actor is phoning it in, the play sucks.  That is teenage life in America.  I wish I could say that only teenagers go dark enough to want to die but we all know that is not true.  Life gets so much harder for people that dare to be an adult. As an adult, I get reminded of my younger years because shit still gets dark.  When I feel that kind of hopelessness, I still remember the fire that gets lit inside of me.  My ability to say "Fuck all of these people." is my super power.  It is a necessary tool for me.  When all the love I try to spread around begins to fail that flaming hatred for those that I let push me there always comes back.  Someh...

Code Cracked: LeBron

After LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers were swept by the Golden State Warriors my timeline was predictably filled with people arguing that LeBron couldn't possibly be the greatest of all time because he didn't fart rainbows or just will his team to victory. One of the most eyebrow raising post was of Michael Jordan celebrating another title.  I don't even remember what Mike was going on about but it made remember remember something about Mike that I had forgotten in all the Lebron comparisons: Mike was a complete asshole. Then, I got to thinking about Mike's heir (air) to the title of best in the game, Kobe.  Kobe wasn't brimming with personality but one thing that we should all agree on, is that he was also a fucking dick.  I specifically remember him ignoring Chris Rock on the sidelines like he was too focused to be funny. Then there's LeBron James.  Even when he has a team full of underachievers he has the nerve to pick up his purse and leave ra...
