Can You Imagine Standing Next To George W. Bush, & Singing Praises In Heaven? Well, Can You??

Nov 21, 2011 No Comments by

Can you imagine 10, 000 years from now humankind reading a book written by George W. Bush (or one of his neo-con disciples), which uses the historical backdrop of the USA, and it being widely accepted as being divinely inspired? Can you imagine? Didn’t he say God told him to invade Iraq, but yet he lied about WMDs? I know, this might sound absurd, but this is exactly the way I view the Bible. I think too often we overlook the geo-political subtext of the good book. Hell, you got fools talking about invading Iran, and Al Qeada sympathizers being arrested in New York. Yup, same stuff, different president.

Dear God, Please Don't Let Them Forget Me

I mean, whatever happened to marching around some shit forty times until it falls ‘n shit like that?

Much like today, we hear more about kings, queens, and evil dictators  in the good book than we do the occasional whore or the poverty stricken electorate. Of course they didn’t vote back then; but, was it that much different back then for regular folks than  it is today. Yes, that’s a rhetorical question, and yes maybe the Bible is filled with truth. Maybe the only wealth regular folks like you and I can attain only comes after we enter the pearly gates of heaven. I don’t know, but even up there, I’m sure privileged folks like G-Dub are the same. Which means, we’re fucked.

Democracy For Sale: U.S. Banks Received $7.77 Trillion In Federal Reserve Secret Payments

I really wish the education of  inner city kids, or American workers weren’t too big to fail, unlike the banks that make up our financial industry. While the budget deficit and subsequent budget cuts continue in wake of the recent super-committee failure, said industry continues to prosper. In a newly released report by Bloomberg News, we now know [...]

Sex Education: The War on Children

The War on Children: Sex Education in America I will tell you that I had a mother last night come up to me here in Tampa, Florida, after the debate. She told me that her little daughter took that vaccine, that injection, and she suffered from mental retardation thereafter. –Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), on the [...]

Did You Remember To Thank An “Illegal Immigrant” At Thanksgiving Dinner?

I didn’t catch this weeks GOP presidential debate, but I was pleasantly pleased to see immigration being the centerpiece of discussion in the days following. Thanks to Newt Gingrich’s expressed position, the conversation of what to do with undocumented immigrants has picked up again. It’s an ongoing debate, but for the record, allow me to [...]

Hey, Pat Robertson: Do White People Eat Chitlins For Thanksgiving, Or Is That A Black Thing?

Yes, that’s a question I’ve always wanted to ask. Being a kid from the Caribbean where there’s no Thanksgiving  holiday, or traditions, I’ve always wanted to know whether white folks were known to partake of chitlins for Thanksgiving, or whether that was just a black thing? I’ve been in many homes across the country over [...]

Super Committee, Super Suckers, & Super Fail

As if we didn’t see it coming, the Super Committee has failed to reach an agreement. Government legislative dysfunction aside, faced with the humongous task of cutting $1.2 trillion off the deficit over the next ten years without a cape, did we really expect them to pull it off? No, in all seriousness, like most of you, I never [...]
