"24" May Lose Obama the 2012 Election

I prefer to keep my politics out of my entertainment. Shows like American Dad and whatnot just seem to be a continuation of all the politics and propaganda that is force fed down our throats daily. But 24 is making a compelling argument for our beating the hell out of any suspected terrorist. And they are making it well. As I think back, 24 was always pushing the propaganda that we should use whatever means necessary to get information out of terrorists. But this year has taken it to a whole new level.

For one, they have a woman liberal president, which when they filmed it they probably thought about Hillary Clinton. Not sure when they filmed this puppy, but I'm sure they considered putting her in pants-suits. But anyway, she is saying that we don't torture, and even stopped Bauer from torturing the dude who knew of an attack that was underway. Turns out, had she let Jack continue, they could have prevented about 30 deaths of staffers and Secret Service agents, and now the White House has been taken over by the African terrorists and the Prez herself is a hostage. They even have a Senator who is leading the charge against coerced interrogation.

24 never let the terrorists get this far. They even had a couple attacks with them crashing two airplanes into each other and damn near blowing up a chemical plant. The body count is somewhere around 500 people and the show just got going good. I think if people keep seeing this AND an attack happens on US soil, Obama will probably be impeached, damn the election. Obama's efforts to "save" the economy have sent the Dow BELOW 7000. I can own a share of GE for less money than to buy a GE light bulb. Damn shame. But this terrorist stuff will keep it in people's minds should the Afghan war get worse (which it will). Do you think that Fox with their awesome cache of regular TV shows will keep the propaganda going this hard for another 3 years to eventually get a GOPer back in office? I say yes.

Black History Made on 24

I must blog...

Do not read this message if you have DVR'ed tonight's 24 Episode on FOX and have not seen the episode yet. In addition to 24 making the best case for tossing Barack Obama out of the White House the first chance we get, tonight's episode has been the best moment in TV I've ever seen.

Although I am a capitalist, a fiscal conservative, a Bill Cosbyist, and a sick bastard, I just love some good old fashioned black militancy. Call it the duality of man. And this particular season of 24 is delivering. I have never EVER cheered for the terrorists on 24, until tonight. Throughout 24's existence I have missed all of 5 episodes and I know that they are very multicultural in the nationality of the terrorists: Eastern European, of course Arabs, Mexicans, domestic whites, the government itself, and now Africans from a fictional country. Besides having my favorite bad guy in film and tv (Hakeem Kae-Kazim, in picture) playing a major antagonist, the black African terrorists have made it MUCH FURTHER than any other terrorist in the 24 series.

Tonight, these beautiful black men actually GOT INTO THE WHITE HOUSE, wasted Secret Service agents like crazy, and got a bunch of hostages including staffers, a Senator, the Prez's daughter, and Bill Buchanan. These Nubian kings had all kinds of technology, guns, surveillance, full-proof plans, insider information, probably the most well executed terrorist attack on 24. And it looks like they are in complete control, paying off American traitors with blood diamonds.

And then at the end they not only take the President hostage, General Juma bitch-slapped her Liberal ass and drew blood, and then the show blacked out. I could not have been prouder to be a black man. But these are the images our young black children need to see. Black empowerment. No longer are we the sidekicks and frontmen, being the first guy in the team of terrorists to get gunned down by Jack Bauer when he burst through the door. We are now taking out the damn White House and slapping Presidents. A change gon' come lawd.

Let me say that currently I am reading the book "Roots" by Alex Haley, and I am currently reading a section where the free blacks are telling Chicken George about the various uprisings and revolts by other free blacks, slaves, and Seminoles. I read the book during the commercials, so that may have something to do with my enthusiasm. But the fact that of all the terrorists on 24, the brothas made it to the White House is a watershed moment in television history.

Financial Meltdown is Law of Nature

I know it's been a while since I last posted, but the baby is asleep, so I'm going to give it a shot.

Right now the Presidential race is really fucked up. Polls have Obama winning right now, mostly thanks to the economy. Most Right-wing guys think that McCain had nothing to do with the economic meltdown, yet is being unfairly targeted for it by voters. Problem is, I think the American people are actually thinking for one minute. Anyone who pays ANY attention to American politics knows that Free Market Capitalism and lax government intervention is a Republican Tenet. Let the market do what it will.

Financial Meltdown
And I believe that to a certain extent. The market is actually working just fine in this "crisis". It is correcting itself THANKS TO government intervention rate lowering. I am a big believer in the LAW of NATURE. Everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING has an ebb and flow, an up and down. Weather patterns, hurricane intensity from year to year, mating habits of salmon, number of fans that watch professional wrestling, beer:liquor consumption ratio over time, stock market, dark skinned black men popularity.

Things go up and down. There is an overall trend down or up over time in many cases, but things still go up and down. The Federal Reserve is an entity that tries to DEFY the laws of nature and is thusly doomed to FUCK UP. Under a basic natural market, the Dow would go up and down, but the Fed Reserve will try to keep markets high by lowering interest rates on money during what SHOULD BE bad times. The c-suckers are not letting nature take its course. And like the man said in Jurassic Park, nature always finds a way.

Here's another aspect about the Law of Nature, the more you try to go against the ebb and flow of ANYTHING, the more violent the change is when the change finally does occur. Ask New Orleans about how violent a change in Nature can occur as the try to block off a river which should be flowing down the middle of the state right now. Ask the parents of a teenage girl they kept sheltered, who then goes to college and joins a sex cult. Ask the people of Los Angeles in the 90s when their government was not letting their neighborhoods flourish naturally, and riots ensued. Same thing today. The more you keep the market artificially high, the VIOLENT and DRASTIC the drop will be when it finally comes, and it will come. As a believer in index funds, let me say taht THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS EVERLASTING PROSPERITY! EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING HAS UPS AND DOWNS, GOODS AND BADS. You get drunk, you have a hangover. The yin and the yang. Nature always wins, and we are seeing it right now.

Everyone involved with this meltdown should be shot. And the Fed Res. needs to be dissolved and we should go back to a Gold Standard. Let the market do what it will. Any asshole who invests in a few companies only will get hurt in the long run as individual stock trading is just gambling where the house always wins. We know this. But don't try to use all our money to make up for their mistakes. Let the market flow naturally. Individuals should invest in index funds and mutual funds that cover much if not all the market in some respect. Readjust every couple of years. For the government, keep in regulations so crooks don't come in and rob the people, but as far as trying to raise the market artificially or whatever, it's for the birds.

Kwame in Jail

Looks like Kwame Kiltpatrick pled guilty and will be going to jail for four months. Including a killer $1 Million fine. Damn damn damn. Lastly, he will of course be giving up his office. Check with www.freep.com for more information.

All I can say is, it's so COLD in the D...

Kwame in Jail Costing Obama the White House

Let's revisit your favorite rattler and mine, Kwam-A-Kilpatrick. Yall's boy apparently decided to head up to Windsor for some city business, but was did not feel the need to call the court for permission first. Let's not also forget that he is NOW up for charges of assaulting an officer who was serving papers for someone else. We all know what would happen if a large black man who was NOT the mayor would get if he assaulted a police officer. It wouldn't even make it to trial.

I posted on one of the FAMU message boards and on this blog that Kwame should have resigned as soon as the charges were levied. I got a little flak for it, but so far I've been proven right. Let's say Kwame was indeed going to Canadia for city business, the fact that he is UNDER BOND means he cannot leave the country. Therefore, he is supposedly hampered from doing city business, assuming a simple phone call would not cut it for Windsor. If he had simply resigned and maybe served as an advisor to the Deputy Mayor, the other guy could have gone to Windsor for the presentation, and Kwame would not have the stress of running a major metropolitan city and keep his arse out of jail.

Kwame's actions could very well cost us our first black president. Polls show that Michigan is now in play in the election, and they need every negro they can find to vote for Obama. Negros in Michigan like nothing better than some Kwame Kilpatrick. He could have canvassed the city and the smaller towns doing some uber-energizing of the blackfolk, which could give Obama the edge in the electoral votes. Right now, if Kwame mentions Obama's name, you could just pencil in Michigan for McCain. Thanks a lot.

For the good of the race, please resign. We need the entire leadership of Detroit to get behind Obama and help him reel in Michigan. You are NOT HELPING the longer you stay in office.

Better Late than Never

The House is apologizing for Slavery and Jim Crow. That's great. But hopefully this won't put us in some sort of a cycle that talks about reparations again. We all know that we won't be seeing a check in the mail, the logistics alone are beyond a nightmare. But I think this move will bring Obama's campaign down a notch.

Rational: Whitefolk are probably getting a little tired of the Black America/Obama coverage on CNN. This one will probably take the cake as the CRIC takes to the news shows to talk about reparations after the apology. Because after you apologize for something, you agree to make up for it. That also means Obama will have to go on record of whether he believes in reparations. If he says yes, he won't be elected head dogcatcher, bottom line. If he says no, then the black community split on their love for him and he may lose some momentum. Either way, he loses and McCain takes over in the polls. Sneaky move in the House. Cohen set it up, but I wouldn't be surprised if a Republican was the one that got this going. Very Orwellian of you.

___________________________________________________________________

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The House of Representatives was poised Tuesday to pass a resolution apologizing to African-Americans for slavery and the era of Jim Crow.
The nonbinding resolution, which is expected to pass, was introduced by Rep. Steve Cohen, a white lawmaker who represents a majority black district in Memphis, Tennessee.
While many states have apologized for slavery, it will be first time a branch of the federal government will apologize for slavery if the resolution passes, an aide to Cohen said.
By passing the resolution, the House would also acknowledge the "injustice, cruelty, brutality and inhumanity of slavery and Jim Crow," the period after slavery was abolished in which African-Americans were denied the right to vote and other civil liberties. The resolution states that "the vestiges of Jim Crow continue to this day."

"African-Americans continue to suffer from the consequences of slavery and Jim Crow -- long after both systems were formally abolished -- through enormous damage and loss, both tangible and intangible, including the loss of human dignity and liberty, the frustration of careers and professional lives, and the long-term loss of income and opportunity," the resolution states.
The House would also commit itself to stopping "the occurrence of human rights violations in the future," if it passes the resolution.
The resolution does not address the controversial issue of reparations. Some members of the African-American community have called on lawmakers to give cash payments or other financial benefits to descendents of slaves as compensation for the suffering caused by slavery.

Oklahoma City NBA Names: free advice

Rumor has it there are a few names floating about for the franchise that is moving from Seattle to Choklahoma City.

<>

Nothing against Gay people, but names Barons, Bison, Energy, Marshalls, Thunder, and ESPECIALLY WIND have to be the gayest set of names they could have come up with.

Barons: There ain't no Barons of ANYTHING in Oklahoma, gay.

Bison: Probably haven't been bison in OK since the White Man came in with guns, not too mention that that is the mascot for Howard University, which makes it really gay.

Energy: That's so WNBA I don't know what to say, the Energy industry is much more in Houston than in OK City, totally gay.

Marshalls: oh please, just another rip off from Texas' history, cowboys are getting gayer by the day, gay.

Thunder, that's just ridiculous, if you are going to name something after weather, make it something like Tornadoes or something, Thunder sounds like a nickname of a bear in Atlanta (not that I would know anything about that), gay.

And now Wind:

Wind. WIND! What is this, Captain Planet? Where did all these corny intangible object names come from. Why not just call yourselves the Flowergirls or Debutantes? That is just plain stupid and ultra-fem-WNBA. And don't tell me about some durn Wind Farms either, shouts out to T. Boone Pickens.

Oklahoma City needs to be recognized for what they are, a franchise stealer. You almost got New Orleans, and now you somehow got Seattle. What about the OK City Thugs. Or the OK City Swindlers, Carpetbaggers, or something really kickass, the OK City Five Fingers. That would actually sell some f8cking T-shirts baby.

With these corny choices, I would say OK City would be better off nixing the whole nickname idea altogether doing it like the soccer clubs, just call the team "BC Oklahoma City". Basketball Club of Oklahoma City. Or the Oklahoma City Metropolitan Basketball Club, Oklahoma City MBC. The nickname for the club will eventually evolve (maybe from a player or owner or the city), but would never be official. Kind of adds some allure to the whole thing. Or rip of San Fran and take out the whole Oklahoma part, and call it "The City". Come on OK City.

If you are going to with your energy industry, do a Jesse Jackson grab something with some nuts. You've got some petroleum up there, what about the OK City Oilmen, or OK City Black Gold? How about the OK City Roughnecks (although that's getting a little gay again). But I say go with something with some sexual connatations that still deals with petroleum, such as: OK City Drillers, Pipelayers, Penetrators, Plungers, Nightmen, Hands, or my favorite, the OK City Separators (process engineers in the house). The fans would love it.
