We was just talkin'

Anyone who believes that the Pilots were just talking as the excuse for missing their landing destination......I've got a bridge to sell you. The Pilots were talking
This is scary for those folks who fly frequently.
The Pilots say that they had a "Lost of Situational Awareness" which to me is doublespeak for "we was sleepin'". What a lot of crap!!

Yeah, The police acted Stupidly

Obama said it and he meant and I agree, got a problem with it...........then talk with the Pres. Any news junkie by now knows the story of Henry Gates being arrested in his own home, well in President Obama's news conference yesterday he was asked about it and he said "in a nutshell" the "Police acted stupidly" today he said he stands by his critism.Obama stands by His Critism
Good for him!!!

Michael Jackson RIP

On The Left.....Reverend Wright....Shut The Hell Up!!

OK so Jeremiah Wright can't help himself he just can't shut up. He feels it is his personal responsibility to embarrass himself as well as the president. A man of the cloth he is not!!! Maybe one time he actually preached the word, at this point in time he is only about himself and trying his best to upstage his onetime parishioner. Any time you have to explain yourself you know you messed up The explanation
Once again I have an idea Rev Wright....Shut the hell up then I'll listen..........

On The Right......Hey Newt Shut the hell Up!!

Newt didn't we revoke your contract with America some time ago? Didn't you resign in disgrace? Why then are you resurfacing as the angry white man...the foil to Obama.
You have the nerve the Gaul and the audacity to look over at John McCain and Sarah whats-her-name and say " how much better off America would be if they won".....Are you F&*kidding me????
I have an Idea Newt......You shut up and then I'll listen!! BTW, what kind of name is "Newt" anyway????

Pay cuts, layoffs, the tribulations of the working class

Here in NC we are experiencing a recession as bad as the great depression, so saith the economist worst recession
We are one of those states that has a law that the budget must be balanced therefore our newly elected Governor Beverly Perdue has instituted pay cuts for all state employees as well as initiating non-paid furloughs.
Being one of those state workers, why the hell do we have to bear the burden, Dam don't we give enough? But Gua shouldn't you be happy you have a job and not be layed off? Yeah, but I sure don't have to be happy about having a pay cut.State workers aren't in the high paid category anyway. My creditors don't give a damn about my situation only that they get what I owe them.
The unemployment rate in NC is 10.7% higher than its ever been and at this point there is no end in sight. unemployment
Something has got to give....I guess its us the working poor.....

The credit card mess

Why is it taking so long to fix the credit card mess? These legalized loan sharks have preyed on consumers long enough. Why does the president have to get involved in order to get something done.Obama & the CEO's Obama says "The days of any time, any reason rate hikes and late fee traps have to end," Its about damn time somebody said that. We (the people) are getting screwed in all directions. The house has already passed a bill and now we are waiting on the senate, naturally the repubs have to be negotiated with, they wouldn't want us (consumers) to get too much.
Just pass the thing already and don't make us wait until next year to reap the benefits.

100 days and Going Strong

The O-man is going strong!!! So how is he doing.... If you listen to the re-thuglicans Obama has done nothing right.....but what do they know? They are trying to to push Jindal, Steele and Palin,in the "My Minority is better than your Minority" category. In the "Old White Guys" category they have Limbaugh,Gingrich....now there is a gruesome twosome for you. To top it off they are propagating the policy of "Just Say No" or Nothing Obama does is correct. I'm sure that will pull in a lot of votes...........not!!!!
Well according to PolitiFact, a Web site that has been keeping track of Obama's campaign promises, reports that Obama has kept 27 promises, compromised on seven, broken six, stalled on three, has 67 in the works and has yet to take action on another 408.
Those are the cold,hard facts.
Personally I think he is doing an outstanding job considering all of the problems he is facing. I no longer cringe when the president speaks like I did under the Busmeister. But more than that I am quite proud of The O-man, he and his wife are representing persons of color quite well. I only hope that just by being in that position (the Presidency) that he inspires little black children and their families to take education more seriously after all "A Mind is a Terrible Thing To waste!!!

Is Marion Barry Going to Jail?

Marion the "B&* Set me Up" Barry may be going to jail. The ex-crackhead for whatever reasons doesn't want to file his taxes in a timely manner. The IRS ain't taking that to kindly.
Prosecuters want Barry to go to Jail
Maybe he was set up......."8" times.....I don't think so. Didn't Marion get the memo...taxes must be paid on time, but wait, he's a Democrat. Democrats don't pay taxes....ask Pres Obama!! Lets see if the ex mayor has enough political capital to keep him out of jail

Democrats Don't pay taxes

Apparently the democrats don't like paying taxes Obama's Picks. Daschle is the third Obama nominee to have tax paying problems. Daschle, Keiller, Geithner......Whats up with that?
This is just fodder for the repubs...The're now asking what's wrong with Obama's vetting process, Obama can't have it both ways.....yada,yada
I have to admit that is is becoming problematic for Obama. You can't tout integrity and then capitulate to your nominees because your picks show a lack of integrity. I personally have a problem with that. I pay my taxes why not them????

Itunes gives up copyright protection, yet we lose

Finally, Itunes aka Steve Jobs gives up the copyright protection Itunes , but wait the price is now increasing.......once again we(the consumers) lose. Whats wrong with this picture? New downloads will now cost $1.29 up from $.99 The record companies got what they wanted. I call it price gouging/fixing. What makes a $.99 download now worth $1.29?..the answer is nothing but greed. The record companies are trying to prop-up their losses due to poor management decisions in the past. Will the artist (the people that actually make the music) benefit.....no!!! They have price-fixed Cd's for years now they have finally twisted Steve Jobs arm and the price fix is in for downloads. We get screwed. The same crappy music now cost more, and they wonder why downloading is so popular.....Duh!!!
Actually I am only a fan of Itunes as software to mange my mp3's. I prefer to ripp my own music from lp's or Cd's that I already own, but I didn't have a problem with paying $.99 for a single download. It will be a cold day in hell before I pay $.30 more for a single song and I know I'm not alone.

Burris- A Tool Perpetrated By the Man

Mr. Burris is not in possession of the necessary credentials from the state of Illinois," declared Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada.Burris Now that is just a bunch of bull-hockey. Surely they could have come up with something with more substance than that, but apparently not.
Ala Homey The clown ...Burris is just a tool perpetrated by the man. And like a good tool he is being used well!! lets see....the race card, check....the legal card,check....the ego card,check. High drama brought to you by the democratic party. (Key the music).....will Burris be seated in the senate?......will Blago be impeached.... will the supreme court step in and dictate whats what....stay tuned and watch how the tool(Burris) gets used and the drama unfolds.................
