Comment: Good morning Beloveds! Another day the Lord gave; make it a good one! January 8
Butterfly
McQueen
*On this date we point out the birth of Butterfly McQueen in 1911. She was an African-American actress who portrayed Scarlett O’Hara’s squeaky-voiced maid, Prissy in Gone With The Wind.
Thelma McQueen (her birth name) was the daughter of a stevedore and a domestic worker. She was an only child from Tampa, Florida and got the name Butterfly after appearing in a production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, in which she danced in the Butterfly Ballet. Although Gone With The Wind went on to become a huge success, McQueen found it difficult finding work as an actress. She was often typecast in roles as maids and said, “I didn’t mind playing a maid the first time, because I thought that was how you got into the business. But after I did the same thing over and over, I resented it. I didn’t mind being funny, but I didn’t like being stupid.”
McQueen could not attend Gone With The Wind’s premiere because it was held in a whites only theater, but she was a guest of honor at its 50th anniversary celebration in 1989. In 1975 at age 64 McQueen earned a bachelor’s degree in political science from New York’s City College. In 1980 she won an Emmy for her performance in a children’s production, The Seven Wishes of a Rich Kid. Butterfly McQueen died from burns suffered in a fire at her home in Augusta, Georgia in 1996

Comment: Good morning, everyone! Mother, thanks for another history lesson. I wish traveling mercies for anyone who has to go to work in nasty weather. Ladies, I greet you with a warm bear hug. How do you feel about your man surprising you in a restaurant bathroom where he locks the door behind him, pushes you up against the wall, begins sucking your breasts, finger you to get you moist and finally perches you on top of him as you enjoy each other while there is banging on the door? Spontaneity is always good for the soul. Of course, you have to be wearing a skirt for easy access. Make it a safe and blessed one!

Comment: For anyone going to D.C. for the inauguration, check out www.vrbo.com for accommodations if you have not already found any. It is a rental site. I have used them several times when traveling instead of staying in a hotel. As a matter of fact, the apartment I am staying in now in Budapest is one that I found on that site. Just another route to consider instead of paying (maybe) hundreds of bucks a night for a hotel.

Comment: morning fam! Happy Thirsty Thursday. its 4:20 am here & I can't sleep & folks already on the board! whut tima y'all get up? Anyhoo, as much as I know OK needs 2 win the BCS championship 2night 2 strengthen the Big 10 division, they did not beat my Horns this yr so of course I don't believe they deserve 2 play in this game. The only team 2 beat us was TexasTech & they lost their bowl game. BCS needs 2 be retired we just need straight up playoffs or some type of bracket like MarchMadness!. Well the game is 2night & I'm sure by my cmts y'all know who I won't be cheering for.

Comment: Great Harlem Debate..... Was The Election of Barack Obama Good for Black People- Yes or No”
|

Name:

Comment: Yes or No" was the question posed at what was billed as “The Great Harlem Debate,” held at Salem United Methodist Church last Sunday. The spirited exchange was hosted by Dr. James McIntosh of the Committee to Eliminate Media Offensive to African People (CEMOTAP) with over 1,500 in attendance....
Answering “Yes” were Councilman Charles Barron, Dr. Leonard Jeffries, Attorney Malik Zulu Shabazz and Sister Viola Plummer. Answering “No” were Dr. Marimba Ani, Glen Ford, Dr. Donald Smith, and Dr. James Turner....
Dr. Jeffries opened the discussion with an argument that was echoed by the other “Yes” proponents on the panel, that the Obama election means that African-Americans have to acknowledge that this was, “a time for “transformation and rebirth.” Jeffries does not expect Obama to spearhead a Black Power movement “that’s the job of Charles Barron and his queen” (newly elected %*$emblywoman Inez Barron). Nor does he expect Obama to free political prisoners, “that’s the job of those here.” ...
To Jeffries, the election confirmed that the power for change can be found in the question posed by Congressman Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. “What’s in your hand, Black man?” and that now in a time of economic collapse, when “the system we know as capitalism no longer exists and Wall Street as we know it no longer exists,” there is an opportunity to rebuild based on a communal African system.

Comment: Beginning the “No” position, cultural scientist Dr. Marimba Ani of Hunter College offered that “Obama has ignored us. The white controlled media has sold us Obama.... It is time to think and examine our goals as Black Nationalists and Pan Africanists. We need vision and clarity otherwise we cannot answer the question ‘Is it good for African people?’” ...
What Black people need is “a nation concept” said Dr. Ani. Black economic and cultural programs, an independent political organization, an independent Black media, and an independent African-centered education all controlled by people who know they are. “The President of the United States is not supposed to represent a group when it comes to race,” but a group is represented says Dr. Ani, “it is the group who funded the election” and that group does not have the empowerment of African people as a goal.....
Dr. Ani cited the proposed Africom initiative, supported by Obama and considered by both sides of the argument as a projection of imperial American power, as an example of how the Obama election “is bad for us if it puts us to sleep, and ends this movement, it is good for us as a people if it pulls together our base, if we determine or own agenda, and keep the movement going.” ...
Without these elements in place says Ani, there is a “confusion of identity” and the nationalist goal of self-determination will be lost. What is critical is a dedication to a Pan African commitment to the unity of African people worldwide as the basis of African strength, an “African world order built on the principle of Maat, not and imitation of a European order.”

Comment: Malik Zulu Shabazz of the New Black Panther Party answered a resounding “Yes” to the question because of the effect he was seeing that President-elect Obama was having on young people. He told the story of a young man who said he was in jail on election night and had given up hope of changing his life. “But when I saw Barack Obama doing what he was doing, I said I’m not going to give up. I’m not going to go back to jail.” Looking at this Obama effect, Shabazz concluded that “This is good for our people. This is good for the Black family. 70% of black households are headed by single women. The Black Family is in crisis. Barack Obama is a good father. He is a good husband. He is a good example for a black nation. Brothers are saying ‘I want to marry my wife. I want to raise my babies to build a strong family like Obama. This is good for the Black family.”
Shabazz said that after Black women have been portrayed with negative image after negative image, they now have and election that gives them Michelle Obama, “A black woman who has class, a Black woman who is intelligent, a Black woman who has dignity a Black woman who can change the image of Black women around the world, who are we to deny the Black woman her time in the sun. Who are we to deny our mothers, our grandmothers who cried at this election.” We have to stop blaming Barack Obama for what we haven’t done.”

Comment: Good morning....
Here’s the thought for the day.
You're In the Right Family!
Joseph... went... to... Bethlehem... because he was of the house... of David. (Luke 2:4 AMP)
Face it, there are times in life when we wish we'd been born into a different family. George Burns quipped, "Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family - in another city!" All joking aside, the family you're in is no accident. God told Jeremiah, "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you… before you were born I [set you apart for a special purpose]" (Jeremiah 1:5 NKJV).
We tend to think of Jesus' family only in terms of his Heavenly Father. But He had a human family too; one that didn't always understand Him. God used His family to mould Him and move Him towards His destiny, right down to where He would be born. "Joseph… went… to… Bethlehem… because he was from the family of David… While they were in Bethlehem, the time came for Mary to have the baby" (Luke 2:4-6 NCV). Notice the words "the time came". There's no coincidence or confusion on God's calendar. He plans our lives right down to the minutest detail. He says, "What I have planned, that will I do" (Isaiah 46:11 NIV).
Jesus likely became a carpenter because that was Joseph's trade. And because of His obligations as the oldest son, He probably waited till he was thirty to begin public ministry. "What does all this mean to me?" you ask. Simply put: God will use your family to prepare you for the assignment He's given you in life. He placed you there to shape you and make you more like Him - hopefully through godly role models and loving relationships. But even when you're born into a dysfunctional, emotionally distant family, He can still turn a curse into a blessing, because He loves you (Deuteronomy 23:5). (~The Vine, Bob Gass)
Have a blessed day!

Comment: I saw that TP House of Payne when the show first started and it sucked. I watched it again last night (nothing else was on) and it has gotten better. It must have been a marathon or something and that TP's Meet the Brown's came on. That little man is sooooooo funny to me! "This is yo granddaddy!!" I sang that until I went to bed and then sang it all morning while I was getting ready for work! (I hate that Madea character though. I'm glad he/she wasn't on either of the shows last night)

You will NOT, and I repeat NOT be able to drive anywhere near the parade route or national mall. They have cut off every main route to get into the city and all major bridges will be open to only buses, limos, police, etc. Get ready for massive crowding. I love my new President to death but I will not be out in the madness. I heard that some spots in FL are offering discounts on vacation packages to people who live in the DMV trying to escape the madness. Something to think about.

Comment: Don't be serving no store bought fruit pizza...it is as easy as can be to make...1. A can of sugar cookie dough...press into a pan and bake for about 11 mins on 350 degrees. 2. Mix some softened cream cheese and sugar with a tiny bit of vanilla (according to your own taste.) 3. Once cookie dough has cooled, spread the cream cheese spread over the top of it...like you would if you were making a pizza. 4. Arrange whatever kind of fruit you like on your pizza...I do mandarin oranges, kiwi, blueberries, strawberries and pineapples, but the skies the limit, MAKE SURE YOU DRAIN THE FRUIT FIRST. 5. Melt about 1/2 jar of apple jelly (or orange marmalade) over the stove...lightly brush over the fruit on the pizza and chill.

Called a R4. This device along with a USB adapter and a microSD card allows you to download ROMS from the internet, copy them to the SD card and play them on the DS. Here is the link to the device

Comment: She works in the far south suburb of Lynwood and lives in Dyer, Indiana. Or she did until someone burned her house to the ground:
It was no secret that Kelly Johnson was a police officer. She wore her Lynwood Police Department uniform when she left the house and often parked a squad car in her driveway.
Neighbors told her they felt safe when her squad car was there. But now the Lynwood patrol officer and her family don't feel secure anywhere after their home in Dyer, Ind., was destroyed in a fire.
The Dyer man charged in the arson allegedly stood and watched the fire and later told police he set the blaze, in part, because he doesn't like cops.
And that isn't the worst of it:
[Offender] Costello told police that he set the fire because he was angry about being rebuffed by a woman at a nearby bar earlier that night, [Lake County Police Chief Marco] Kuyachich said. He said that he didn't like police officers and knew that a female police officer lived in the house.
He also said that he knew the children were inside and watched the fire burn for at least 15 minutes, Kuyachich said.
Officer Johnson and her family lost everything, including five dogs and a cat. People can donate by contacting the Lynwood Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #287 or the First National Bank of Illinois in Lynwood or a First Midwest Bank in Indiana.

Comment: With a two-line press release Wednesday, the Dallas Cowboys ended their relationship with cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones. The laughter you're hearing is coming from the Tennessee Titans' practice facility, where they're preparing for a divisional playoff game against the Ravens.
The Cowboys released Adam "Pacman" Jones after the team learned of new allegations against the cornerback from 2007.
This transaction won't be made official until Feb. 9 because of league rules. ESPN's Ed Werder is reporting that Jones' release was prompted by the club finding out about an upcoming "Outside the Lines" report that provides details on new allegations against the player during his time with the Titans. The NFL apparently knew about the allegations, which occurred two months after Jones was suspended for a year by the league, but charges were never brought against Jones.
Of course, the Cowboys should've cut their losses with Pacman following his Oct. 7 fight with a member of his own security detail in a posh hotel bathroom. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones brought Pacman back into the locker room after he served a six-game suspension. Jerry has maintained that team chemistry is overrated, and that's why he looked the other way while Pacman, Tank Johnson and T.O. were busy dividing his locker room.
According to a high-ranking club source, some members of the defense were stunned when Pacman leapfrogged rookie Mike Jenkins in his first game back after the suspension against the Steelers in December. He was injured in that game after muffing a punt.

Comment: When you want to make your own cheesestakes, Kroger and Walmart both carry a thinly sliced steak for that purpose...I think it may be called marinara (or some such name)...its bright red, has a little bit of fat (necessary or it will be too dry)... when I make cheesesteaks (which is rare), I marinate the steaks in soy and teriyaki cause overnight, because the acid breaks down the fact...I also sometimes put in a little of that chunk garlic (it comes in a little jar already chopped)... I make my cheese steak in an OLD pan, because I break up the steak with a flat blade that looks like a pastry spatula (which can nick up a pan.) But you only need to cook this for a very short time...then, take your bread -- ok, I'm sorry am I talking too much about cooking?

I like her. She seems like fun and doesn't take no mess off of anyone. And that's how you dig for gold! I fell out when Laurie said she's glad Gretchen joined b/c know she won't be referred to the gold digger anymore. Next week's episode look like it's going to be good.

Setting cars on fire. They closed two BART stations (12th Street and Lake Merritt). Them fools tried walking onto Interstate 980! I am going to get in the car and cruise to look later. The BART board meeting starts at 9am sharp and the peeps have been lined up since 6am. Today is a full day of protest. For all intents and purposes, they went all night last night. Approximately 300 members of OPD plus the SWAT team were out in full riot gear, along with tear gas and their billy clubs....

Comment: How much y'all wanna bet this is Dallas Austin:? January 08, 2009. MediaTakeOut.com just learned some INTERESTING NEWS. Word on the street is that one big name record executive who’s recently fallen on hard times has found a new way to make ends meet – by SLANGIN’ COCAINE.
According to one of our snitches, the big name producer has been moving some SERIOUS weight – and it’s got industry insiders buzzing. The snitch told MediaTakeOut.com, “I couldn’t believe it, he’s even approached [a not-too-popular rapper] to be involved. It’s crazy, but that’s what the music industry in becoming.”
DANG … we really wish we could tell you who it is, but the FEDS might be watching. So in the interest of non-snitchedness, we’ve decided to leave this as a BLIND ITEM. But here’s a hint – dude is major and he’s from Atlanta!!

Comment: We have the national attention on this one. CNN is all over it like a bad rash. The 25/20 cop that shot Grant RESIGNED yesterday as opposed to giving a dam statement on why he shot an unarmed man in the BACK while he lay on the concrete platform (and that was AFTER he begged for his life). Oh, this is about to get UGLY. Now, the State is swinging into it, because the 25/20 is under protection - he and his people have so many death threats against them that they have to move every day or two. And, per the Grant Family attorney (a really good man), he's a flight risk...I wholeheartedly agree.

But, the most telling thing was that last night, he came out to try to get the mobs to disperse. they booed his azz. On live TV. I was howling.

Comment: Hello, everyone. NYE - What a way to start the day, and it ain't even Freaky Friday! That bathroom scene is another scenario for me to write in my FFA sex manual. Reminds me of the opening scene of "Soul Food" when he stuffs the underwear in her mouth so she doesn't scream. I agree with Lovely, not all public bathrooms are nasty. crenee - Or, the bathroom in someone else's home, so I heard. (looking at the ceiling) I second Hershey's theory about Scorpio men. (looking at the other side of the ceiling) Speaking of access, my cousin's friend always wore dresses when visiting her man in jail. Of course, no panties. SMH

Anyway, now I'm cold, hungry & sleepy. 4 hours to go until I'm headed home to eat a snack, put on some warmer clothes and take a quick nap and all will be well in Lovely-land.

I had only seen it when it first came on and I protested it because it was as dumb as "Homeboys In Outer Space" but last night when I was flipping and saw Mr Brown, I stopped and watched it and the show was decent. The man & woman who are married are still over the top and can't act but at least it's not as bad as when the show first started. They were shucking & jiving just like a bunch of sambos when that show first started.

Comment: Here go y'allz girl Sheree again. I though miss thang was all dat? Now she needs more money 'cause she's not educated? WTF?? January 08, 2009. (Originally published on January 7, 2008). MediaTakeOut.com told you weeks ago that Sheree Whitfield was appealing her divorce settlement with ex-husband NFLs Bob Whitfield. The court released details of the appeal and they're pretty juicy.
Here's how much Sheree got in the settlement:
The trial court awarded her custody of the children and $2,142.87 a month in child support. It also awarded her a division of the marital property totaling more than $1.1 million and including a lump sum payment of $775,000.
And here's why Sheree wants more money:
Her attorneys argue that based on her lack of education and inability to earn income, the court abused its discretion by not awarding alimony and then ordering her and the children out of their $2.6 million home in Sandy Springs.

Comment: Son of famed baseballer shot in driveway by cop Robbie Tolan sits in a Houston, Texas, hospital bed with a bullet from a police officer's gun lodged in his liver. The son of a famed baseball player was shot in his own driveway. Robbie Tolan was shot December 31 by a police officer in his driveway. He was unarmed. But how this unarmed 23-year-old and his cousin ended up in the cross-hairs of an officer's gun, suspected of stealing a car, is a question sparking allegations of racial profiling.
"There's no doubt in my mind that if these had been white kids this does not happen," said David Berg, Tolan's attorney. It was 2 a.m. on December 31 when Tolan and his cousin, Anthony Cooper, were confronted in the driveway of their home by Bellaire, Texas, police officers. Police officials say the officers suspected the two young men were driving a stolen car. Bellaire is a prominent, mostly white suburb in southwest Houston. Robbie Tolan is the son of a once-prominent professional baseball player. His father, Bobby Tolan, had a 15-year career for the St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds, spanning 1965 to 1979. He played on one of the most-heralded Cardinal teams ever: the 1967 World Series champs. The younger Tolan is just starting to develop his own baseball career. He's played in the Washington Nationals minor league system and spent part of last season playing for the Bay Area Toros of the Continental Baseball League. Tolan's relatives say the two young men had just arrived from a late-night run to a Jack-in-the-Box fast food restaurant. As they walked up the driveway to their home, Anthony Cooper said an unidentified man emerged from the darkness with a flashlight and a gun pointed at them.
"We did not know it was a police officer," said Cooper. "He said, 'Stop. Stop.' And we were like, 'Why? Who are you?'" The officers ordered both men to lie down on the ground.

Comment: Tolan's parents heard the commotion and came outside. Police will only say an "altercation" took place. Tolan's family say it involved his mother. "The cop pushed her against the wall," said Tolan's uncle, Mike Morris. Relatives say Tolan started to lean up from the ground to ask the officer what he was doing to his mother. That's when the family says Tolan was shot in the chest, the bullet piercing his lung and then lodging in his liver. But Tolan's SUV wasn't stolen. Both men were unarmed and relatives say they were hardly a threat to the police officer. Anger over the shooting has been building over the last week. "He was the victim of the worst case and worst kind of racial profiling," said community activist Quannel X. The Bellaire Police Department has called the shooting "tragic" and put the officer involved in the incident on administrative leave. "Anytime someone is injured we take it very seriously," said Byron Holloway, Assistant Chief of the Bellaire Police Department. "But any allegation of racial profiling, I don't think that's going to float." The police department is investigating and the district attorney's office in Houston is also looking into whether charges will be filed against the police officer.
The policeman is a white, 10-year veteran of the force whom police say has an excellent record. Bellaire Police officials are no longer talking publicly about the case. The department's assistant chief says they're investigating how the officers on the scene mistakenly determined that the SUV Tolan and his cousin were driving had been stolen. Robbie Tolan remains in a Houston hospital. Relatives say he is in severe pain but is expected to recover. But his attorney says that Tolan's baseball career might be over. Tolan's father isn't worried about that.
"I'm not concerned about his career as a baseball player. I'm concerned about his health," said Bobby Tolan.

Jason’s mother reveals that Nakoa means “warrior,” while Mana refers to “strength/spirit,” and Kaua — “rain” — and po — “dark” — refer to the conditions at the time of his birth. The second middle name, Namakaeha, is also Jason’s.

Comment: I graduated from high school 5 8 145 and was all arms and legs. Wanted to gain weight, worked out, nothing happened. Playing ball one day this guy told me of this diet that worked for him, steak and ice cream everyday. So I tried it. Ate Breyers strawberry half gallon and a steak. Summer when I was 19 I grew 6 inches and gained 50 pounds. So now I was getting all this attention from women. Met a coworker of my cousin, she was a high school teacher. We had lunch and she hand fed me lunch. Not being used to this, I was shy for the most part, and did not pick up her clues. My cousin called me later and wanted to know if her friend could have my number. I said sure. My mother threw a summer party that weekend, so at the party they both showed up in evening dresses. Her friend had went commando. For real. So at this party guys are asking me who is there with or where is her man. Now after awhile I pick up the hints that she wants me. Bad. Still being shy, after she had made comments to the effect of "lets leave now" I remarked, I cant leave, this is my party. Let's just say she convinced me to leave. I come back like a week later. My mother's first question is, where was I, second question is, how old is she? Had to think about the second one. Eventually I found out. She was 39. After that, she not invited back over to say the least. We saw each other for 4 years adn we had some great times. Her family was very cool with me, she was hispanic, but my family especially my grandmother did not like her because of the age difference.

Comment: Lovely, we most know the same person! I was contacted by an employee who was upset because he did not get referred for a high level government position. I explained to him that there was a positive education requirement, and based on my review of his resume, he did not meet the education requirement to be referred for the position. Sensing something was amiss, I questioned him a little further, and pointed out on his resume that I didn't see where he documented any education above high school, and asked if he had inadvertently left that info off. He told me that he does have the education, and asked what he needed to get it documented on his resume for furture referrals. I explained that he needed to produce a copy of his transcripts which should have all the information I needed. I asked could he produce that. He said not right away. i asked if there was a school that I as an HR person could call to obtain the transcripts. He said no. So I said do you mind telling me what type of education you have so I can make some notes for futre references. He said he knows how to read schematics. I asked what kind. He said flying saucers. Realizing that I could be in danger, I played along and asked what he meants. He said that aliens have abducted him on a number of occassions and are forcing him to build their spaceships! Serious as could be. I asked if he had any idea when they would visit him again, and he said he was uncertain. I suggested that he make a mental note to ask for accreditation the next time they came through, and told him when I get that info, I would be glad to re-evaluate his resume. That's the truth.

Or better yet, sell some of those $6K bags and shoes she purchased and bragged about on RHOA. She was CLEARLY dependent upon him and expected him to carry her after she left him for (as she put it) losing himself in her so much that he didn't have a life of his own. Whatev.

"Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord. I will repay." You couldn't pay me to walk in Bush 43's shoes or have his record. And that's not to say that I am perfect. All have sinned and come short. But that man has so much blood in his hands that it's beyond frightening.

Comment: Globalization (globalisation) in its literal sense is the process of transformation of local or regional phenomena into global ones. It can be described as a process by which the people of the world are unified into a single society and function together. This process is a combination of economic, technological, sociocultural and political forces.[1] Globalization is often used to refer to economic globalization, that is, integration of national economies into the international economy through trade, foreign direct investment, capital flows, migration, and the spread of technology.[

Comment: that's why there is no way illegal immigrants are getting kicked out the US...cheap azz labor....Mexicans and other immigrants were the only way for the US to beging to compete with other world "powers" who had more cheap labor than the US......so basd on that, Clinton contributed to the downfall as well....but this has been in the aking for decades......

Comment: Khufu, the smartest woman I knew was my grandmother (God rest her precious soul). Had a high school education. Raised on a farm. Lived through some hellish times. Jim Crow. Red Summer. Segregation. Civil Rights. Severe poverty. Hunger. Raised three children on pennies. Sometimes no heat. And yet, when there wasn't enough to go around, she shared what she had with her neighbors, and they did the same. Before she passed almost a year ago, like a warning, she taught me those lessons. And here we are. The God IN me is coming OUT of me to share with my world - those I know in need. And some may be so touched to do the same. King David said in Psalm 37:25, "I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread." And, Numbers 23:19 states "God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind." If I take God's Word and the lessons taught to me by my elders, I am ready to face whatever comes my way.

Comment: Palin takes digs at Fey, Couric
Posted: 02:57 PM ET
From From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
Palin had tough words for Fey and Couric.
(CNN) — Sarah Palin is credited with making Tina Fey a world-wide star and boosting Katie Couric's ratings at CBS.
But in a recent interview with conservative John Ziegler, Palin said both "exploited" her twelve-week candidacy — a fact, she said, that "says a great deal about our society.”
Fey's widely-applauded portrayal of the Alaska governor boosted SNL's ratings, while Couric’s audience grew after a series of interviews during which Palin now-famously faltered.
“I did see that Tina Fey was named entertainer of the year and Katie Couric’s ratings have risen," Palin said in the interview. "I know that a lot of people are capitalizing on, oh I don’t know, perhaps some exploiting that was done via me, my family, my administration — that’s a little bit perplexing, but it also says a great deal about our society.”
The Alaska governor was particularly upset with an SNL skit during which Fey's version of Palin said, "I believe marriage is meant to be a sacred institution between two unwilling teenagers."
The line was a clear reference to Palin's 18-year-old daughter Bristol and her fiancé Levi Johnston. The two announced shortly before the GOP convention that they were expecting a baby and had plans to marry.
"The mama grizzly rises up in me, hearing things like that," she said of a skit. "Here again, cool, fine come attack me. But when you make a suggestion like that that attacks a kid, it kills me."
In the wide-ranging interview, Palin also faulted the McCain campaign for agreeing to a series of sit-downs with Couric after the first one appeared to go so poorly.

I love to support us's but get tired when us's act as if they are doing us a favor. Same story different day. And CaliGrizzly...they may want us to kill ourselves, but how long do we have to fall for the okie doke. I mean really, didn't we just say the other day, drama can ONLY come if we allow it! We don't have to allow the package sto' in our neighborhoods. And we certainly don't have to buy from the package sto'. Furthermore, do y'all realize the amount of money the avg. black person spends/year on lottery tickets? $1000!!!! That is str8 foolywangmentness. SMH We ARE KINGS AND QUEENS!!!

He said you can tell a crackhead if you don't stop what you're doing, you're gonna die, and the crackhead will say, 'sho am, see you at the funral.'... You post made me think of that. I'm sorry. Back to the serious discussion.

Comment: Hersey, you absolutely correct. I've been saying that for years. I figure the reason the average Black person spends so much in the lottery is to get some type of foothold on havin' major cash. See but what America enjoys is rightfully hours in terms of wealth. Our Ancestors created this but the heirs aren't enjoying what is rightfully theirs. The enslavers families are and got the nerve to tell us to pull ourselves up by the bootstraps, muthafuccker, ya wearin' our boots!! LOL!

I'm all for supporting BOB, but I don't appreciate those same business folks treating me like they are doing me a favor while providing a substandard service or product. I cater, and you'd be surprised at how many of MY people want me to cater little jackie's graduation, but then get mad when you give them an estimate. Will say that "I would hire Penny, but she's too high." Yet, will go pay 2-3 times for what I charged at the deli to get a tray of cheese and meat. I realized that it wasn't that I charged too much, it was that MY FOLKS couldn't see giving their money to me. They had no problem giving a larger amount to the big box store.

Comment: I play the lotto. I go in with an office pool. Occassionally, I will by a ticket on my on. But, I have learned (and seriously, I did not know this) that there are a lot of OUR PEOPLE who spend hundreds of dollars a month on lotto. That blew me away. I had a co-worker who had her lights disconnected in the summer, but she made a trip to play the lotto twice daily! And you couldn't reason that out of her either. But, notice, WE PLAY, but WE DON'T WIN. I just have not seen Black folks hit the lotto here in Ohio.

Comment: I was watching some program a few weeks ago. Black woman, YT husband, 3 small kids. EVERY ..yes EVERY weekend, they TRAVEL to different conv. stores to purchase lottery tickets and scratch offs. She is working, he got layed off. And they cross state lines to play at a large mall because they believe that is their best bet at striking it rich. I was so angry at that MESS I almost considered calling DCF on these fools. EVERY SATURDAY!! Really? It's that deep? REALLY? $400 dollars a month could be put to such better use. Cuz that's about as much their spending between purchasing and gas. Those poor kids spending the whole day in a dumb car. What a waste of time, talent and energy. Getting angry thinking about it again.

I did go in with co-workers a few times on the Powerball type drawings and it was pretty neat. Tix were purchased, copie of the tix were made, everybody got copies of the tix and the tix were locked up until the drawing. Yup, we lost, LOL, but it sure as heyell beats spending upwards of $200/day on lotto tix. I have an Aunt who would do that everyday.......

No Mega Millions, no RedBall...not even the secondary ones such as Ohio, the Classic lottery, which still has a pretty decent payout. Its sad to me, because We are the ones buying the most tickets.

Although, a few weeks back the vice mayor of Hampton purchased 13 Pick 5 tix - gave one to each of his two sons and kept the other 11. His numbers came up and he collected 1.1 million dollars AND his sons got $100K a piece. He says he plays the same numbers once a week and has been doing so since his wife's passing a few years back. Lucky sucka! Another dude purchased the ticket and forgot about it. They put it in the paper that there was a winning $50K ticket out there and the deadline was 3 days away. he said he saw a few of them on a bookshelf at the house and took them to the store just to see and low and behold his azz won too. he was like dayum I wish I had known sooner. things have been hella tight round here. LOL
