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?

The two that got away

I have had a lot of great relationships with women in my life.   I couldn’t rate them if I wanted to; that is, accept for the one with my wife, of course. But, looking back in all my dealings with the opposite sex, there are two women that stand out for two very different reasons.   They are the ones that I actually didn’t have a relationship with.   Of all the women I’ve dealt with, these two always stand out in my past.   These are the two that got away: I will use false names because I don’t like to embarrass people on the internet.   But, I will try to keep the pseudonyms close enough that these women know that I’m talking about them.   Shyra was a goddess.   I haven’t seen her in 10 years and to this day, she is the most beautiful woman that I’ve ever seen.   She was mixed or something.   She had the most beautiful gray eyes that you could get lost in at a single glance.   To this day, I don’t know if they were contacts...
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...

Admit it. You Don't Like Black Women You Can't Beat Up

Relax, I'm not calling you gay.  Unless, you're gay.  Then I''m calling you gay.... Okay let's move on. So Gilbert Arenas went on Instagram the other day to shame the WNBA for not looking like the lingerie football league (or Legends Football League, as it is officially named).  I usually would dismiss the ravings of a single dumb nigga but I couldn't because while driving home, I was at the end of the Atmosphere album and I had to turn on the radio. This is a problem because the radio was on the D.L. Hughley show.  D.L. got himself in to hot water a couple of years ago for basically agreeing with the "nappy headed hoes" remark from the Don Imus show.  Of course, D.L. completely agreed with Gilbert.  Ugh, so much sexist, racist shit to cover but let's sally forth. The pattern here is that these women are mostly Black, all strong, and none are there for the sexual consumption of men.  What do men of all colors do when confronted with this?  W...
