Yes school is out for a couple of more days, and yes I am going on a rant. For those that think that Obama is doing this wrong and doing that wrong, shut up and give the old man a chance. If you remember when Junebug (GWB) came to office he had clear skies, no wars, moderate taxes, and people were gainfully employed. If your memory does not fail you, when Slick Willie came to office, he had clear skies, no wars, moderate taxes and people were trying to dig out from something or another, and when Pops came to power, we were about to go and kick Sadaam's sorry behind, the new world order was coming into place and the wall was about to fall.
So I say all of that to say, give the man a break, let some of this shake out, work its way out, and for heavens sake, stop bringing up this torture thing, I am sick of hearing about it, do you understand. We did what needed to be done, to do what we had to do, I imagine some of that was going to be payback for them fools aiding in the New York city downtown face lift at the cost of several thousand innocent souls that nobody could get past the lobby in time. And as far as the automobile industry and the current problems that they are having here and now. What did you guys think, gas was going to be cheap forever, and that we all should drive these huge behemoths every where we go. Come on, all they are doing is making the road unsafe for the rest of us. I like my late model sedan, thank you very much.
But anyway, between the unions and the corporate hot shots that thought that we all should purchase an Escalade with 21" wheels (dubs as they call them in one of my old neighborhoods) you fools lack vision. The rank and file really need to pile the two groups of you together and perform a world class action lawsuit on you all for corporate malfeasance and corrupt business practices. They then sent their snot nosed lobbyists to Washington, so they would not fix things like fuel standards and the like.
I think people that drive Hummers are selfish fops trying to make up for social inadequacies by driving something that could over the opposition in the back lot.
Oh and back to that Escalade, why should anyone pay a markup of 75 % for a vehicle that serves no useful purpose except to take up two parking spaces and make it difficult to see around to avoid on coming traffic.
And by the way, gas prices are going to go up, 3$ a gallon painful, you will see it by the end of the summer. You can bet on it.

America's Dad

While I have not seen the Oprah show in its entirety, I am very happy to hear Bill Cosby Bill On Oprah speak up and put in real words the mess that we have come to as a people, we do need to stop waiting around for reparations, affirmative action, and that dull duo of Al and Jesse. We need to stop beating on each other, mistreating our women and children no matter what. Bill has a new book that many of us need to read, yes I know you can do that too.

Come On People

What About Our Daughters: Dunbar Village - RAZE IT TO THE GROUND AND SALT THE EARTH SO THAT NOTHING WILL GROW THERE! - How to Help.- Where in the World are the Rev's?

Did you realize that foolishness like this is going on ? We are not animals, we should not treat each other as such. I do have Oprah on DVR someplace around the house, so I should get around to watching it sometime this weekend, I'll let you know, if you see something frightening, please warn me.

On another note, I listened to the radio this morning and heard a little bit on NPR about an ordinance in Dallas that would require young men and women folk to pull up their britches and wear them like God and the designer intended. Pull your pants up which is the name of a pretty catchy rap tune, penned by a barber/rapper from Dallas, Texas, one of my home towns. I then took a look at some of the folks that seem to have issue with the law, aside from the issues of someone telling them how to dress. My answer, while it may or may not be cause for a law, why are we giving this lifestyle and fashion that clearly runs counter to the proper outfitting of clothing. My take on this is simple, if you want to be treated with respect, real respect, then you need to wear your clothing like you have some sense, this is a choice that you can make. There is no need for you to follow along in some one else's footsteps. If want to make something of yourself, then make good solid choices, if you have a reason for doing something, then have the reasoning to back up your decision. In every place that I have lived, worked, visited or partied, you will be judged by how you look. Look like a fool, then get treated like one.

Pull your pants up, (I don't want to see your dirty boxers or how skimpy your thong is.)
Treat all women as equals, or at least as well as you treat your sister,
treat all children as if they were yours. The life you save, may be your own.

Think about reading these five books.
