Our Take On: The Tea Party Movement
Posted on | February 7, 2010 | No Comments
All the Tea party movement is, is a group utilized for the purpose of criticizing President Obama and sparing the Republican Party from the perception that they are only being critical of President Obama because he is black. Whether justified or not that would’ve been the Democrats response to any and all harsh criticism directed by them towards President Obama.
This is why the Republican Party for the first time in their history, and much to their chagrin, have chosen a black man, Michael Steele to act as the chairman of the Republican National Committee. Do you think it’s a coincidence that as soon as America has its first black president that that Republican Party then selects a black man to be the face of the National Party?
The game of politics is about controlling the perception of the issue. You can’t have a white, good ole boy from Texas or Florida be the architect behind the criticism coming from the Republican Party towards a black President.
Well, you should be able to. In fact it’s actually pretty racist that you can’t. Just because Obama is black doesn’t mean that if you criticize him it makes you a racist. That is absolutely absurd but that is the problem with racism…it is absurd. And like I said, the game of politics has absolutely nothing to do with the truth of anything; it is about managing and manipulating how issues are perceived. And it would be too easy for a majority white, male dominated political party like the GOP to be portrayed as racist for criticizing a black President.
So as a result of this little “snag” we have a Tea Party movement.
They go after Obama with the same style of blunt, absurd, no-holds-barred political dialog that quickly became the way politics were discussed in this country during the Bush- Cheney years in Washington.
The Tea Party movement is a joke. Its national convention only attracted 600 people.
If I were to create a movement of people who wanted to masturbate for peace and only 600 people showed up at the National Convention I doubt anyone would even cover it, let alone have FOX news call it a political voice in the country that has to be reckoned with.
This Tea Party Movement is just a device being used by the Republican Party to work the same type of combative language that they used under Bush.
Had Barak Obama been a white man there wouldn’t be a Tea Party Movement and Michel Steele certainly wouldn’t be the chairman of the National Republican Party.
It would’ve been business as usual.
But unfortunately, the unthinkable happened and a black man did win the office of the Presidency.
So the same people who didn’t beat an eyelash at putting someone’s patriotism into question for not seeing eye to eye with Bush needed a different brand name to shout their absurdities from.
The Tea Party Movement is basically keeping the Republican Party clean.
Now they are calling Obama a Socialist or Marxist for trying to fix the health care system, saying that he shouldn’t even be President because he isn’t even an American citizen, they even tell anyone who is listening that he is a Muslim as if that too should’ve disqualified him from being president but no one can say that the Republican Party is doing it.
Tom Tancredo told the 600 that showed up to the convention that President Barack Obama was only elected because “we do not have a civics, literacy test before people can vote.” He argued that “people who could not even spell the word ‘vote’ or say it in English put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House.”
In the days of Jim Crow-era laws in the south, blacks were discouraged from voting by literacy requirements but loopholes had been built into those laws so that White Americans who wanted to vote didn’t have to prove that they could meet the requirements that blacks had to meet. Like, for example, one loophole was that if you had a relative that was qualified to vote, it didn’t say that he did vote, but was simply eligible to vote prior to 1866, then you were exempt from having to prove you met the literacy requirement.
Funny thing is, slavery was abolished in 1865, so every single African American who didn’t have a White father was effectively singled out by the law and required to pass a test to vote.
Tancredo left very little to the imagination as to who he was speaking of when he said had a civics or literacy test been in place then Barak Hussein Obama wouldn’t have been elected.
Why does he think this? Does he think that all of those liberals in Berkeley, California or Ann Arbor, Michigan can’t spell vote?
Nah, he was talking about Dequain, Travaughn, Ja’Quaelah and Shawnika who probably turned out to vote for the first time in their entire lives to get Obama elected.
So? First time voters weren’t an issue in 2000 and 2004 when Jesus Freaks, who had never voted before in their lives, came out to vote to get Dubya elected.
The Republican Party can’t afford to be connected with the tone of that kind of attack even though it is undoubtedly effective.
They aren’t fooling anyone, are they?
I suspect that had there been Jim Crow era literacy and civics requirements put in place during the last presidential election, but unlike before, they were applied to both White and Black voters alike, I doubt Tom Tancredo would’ve been prepared for how many of his own constituents would’ve been turned away as well.
Hell, polls consistently show that most FOX viewers are the least informed of all of the news viewers in America consistently being misinformed of even basic things.
In 2007 a Pew Research Study showed that Fox News viewers ranked nearly dead last in being knowledgeable about national affairs. The researchers stated, “The extent of Americans’ misperceptions vary significantly depending on their source of news. Those who receive most of their news from Fox News are more likely than average to have misperceptions.”
Hey Tom, be careful what you wish for.

Sh!t I Like: Bitchee Bitchee Ya Ya Ya
Posted on | February 6, 2010 | No Comments
The track is called “Fuck Friend” and in particular I like the track that is remixed by CSS off the EP of the same name. Growing up listening to the Electrifying Mojo growing up, I have a deep affinity for this type of music. It’s fun, danceable, and pop that is expressly adult in some way. Although I seriously doubt even Mojo could’ve gotten away with playing this version on his radio show, the spirit of the CSS remixed track is definitely something that the Great one could’ve fit seemlessly between Prince’s Gottta Stop Messin’ About and Romio Void’s “Never Say Never” had he tried.
Their name Bitchee Bitchee Ya Ya Ya is apparently a tribute to Patie Labelle’s lyric in the song ‘Lady Marmalade’.
In case you were wondering.

Jesus makes another unscheduled appearance. This time on an iron.
Posted on | February 4, 2010 | No Comments
Mary Jo Coady, 44, of Methuen, Massachusetts says that this image of Jesus that appeared on her iron is a sign that Jesus is listening to her prayers and that her life going to be good.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t see Jesus. I see discolored metal right where I would expect to see discolored metal on an old iron.
But that is not to say that isn’t Jesus or that Jesus didn’t communicate to this woman by placing a picture of himself on the bottom of her iron, but it does beg the question… why’d he do it?
Why is Jesus in the habit, much like Elvis, of communicating to his followers in the form of mold stains and calcium build up on bathtub walls etc?
And it would be one thing if Jesus expressed himself in a figurative style to leave no doubt, but he doesn’t.
Personally, I have seen more realistic depictions of Jesus on an Etch A Sketch.
Now I know that many of you will immediately consider it sacrilegious of me to critique Jesus’ drawing skills. That is not my point.
My point is to say that if this is Jesus then I have about 15 things in my house right now that have Jesus on it. That is, if this is as close as it has to come for me to say its Jesus.
I’ve got Jesus on the bottom of my utility sink which I am assuming he drew himself using cleaning chemicals to discolor the plastic sink. I’ve also have what I am calling an original Jesus in my garage which he drew using oil that leaked out from under my car. I’ve even had a picture of Jesus and Elvis playing Frisbee on the floor of my shower but I cleaned that up last weekend with a sponge and some Lemon scented Soft Scrub.

The R-Word?
Posted on | February 4, 2010 | No Comments
White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel called a group of liberalsthat he was frustrated with the other day “fucking retarded” and sparked off a week of meetings between him and everyone associated with retard advocacy from the American Association of People with Disabilities to even a former athlete who participated in the Special Olympics.
This ladies and Gentlemen is what I like to call the game of politics.
You say something that offends blacks like “Obama’s black? He sure doesn’t act like it!” and the next thing you know you having soul food for lunch with civil rights leaders for a week.
People who use this type of vernacular aren’t sorry for what they say. They are just sorry that you heard it. I can understand that completely. I say things all the time that I would rather not be looped into a sound bite and played all over CNN on the hour every hour for a week.
Nothing ever comes out of these meetings but a bunch of public apologies and assurances that you will now give something to the offended group in question to get them to accept your apology.
I half expect that on some level people want you to offend them just so they can stand to benefit from whatever you decide to do to make it all go away.
Some of the retard advocates that showed up in Washington this week accepted his apology. Some didn’t. The ones that didn’t accept his apology said that they don’t have the right to accept an apology on behalf of an entire population of people.
Oh yeah? Then what the hell did you meet with him for?
Retard.
That is a word that has been used by most of us since grade school.
Does that make it right? No. Does it make it wrong? I am not sure.
Let me explain.
Now I don’t dispute that the word retard is offensive. I don’t doubt that for a second. And for some of you that is reason enough not to use the word.
But I want to go one step further and understand why it is offensive.
I have used retard at least half a dozen times in this article already and not once did I use it in a derogatory manner.
You see, the word retard wasn’t always considered offensive. In fact, retard was considered an upgrade to what people had been calling them.
Before retard they were called Morons. Idiots. Imbeciles. Compared to words like that retard almost sounded like a clinical term.
I could see people being so happy that they aren’t being called idiot anymore that they ran to the highest hill they could find, threw their arms out as if they were going to hug the Sun itself and shouted proudly at the top of their lungs, “I’m retarded!”
So if the word retard wasn’t originally considered offensive but an upgrade to what they were being called how did it come to be so offensive today?
Well it’s simple. The reason retard became offensive is because 90% of the time whenever someone uses that word outside of the mental health profession it is being said with the intent to insult someone who most likely isn’t even retarded.
Retard isn’t like Nigger or Gook which are terms that were always intended to be a derogatory word from day one.
Retard became offensive over time. In that way retard is more like the words Negro or Colored. At one point those were respectable ways to refer to black people. Hell, the NAACP still has the word colored in their name.
The American Association on Mental Retardation founded in 1878 is the oldest organization concerned with advocating for equality and societal inclusion of retards in existence. And they even used the term retardation all the way until 2006. Now they are called the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities but what good will that do?
In 50 years intellectually challenged or mentally disabled will be just as offensive as retard is today because anything you call someone who can sit Indian style on the floor and be enthralled with his own belly button for hours on end is going to be used as an insult.
Stupid people exist. We need something to call them.
If you were born with Down syndrome and as a result you can’t count to 7 I personally think it is wrong to use you as an insult.
So what I propose we do is show enough restraint to not use the same words that we call people who are stupid because they can’t help it from the words we use to call people who are stupid who can help it. It’s that simple.
If we can do that then we might be able to avoid all of this mess in the future.
Ironically kids nowadays don’t even use the word retard that much anymore. Rahm Emanuel was showing his age a bit. Today they use the term Sped which is short for special education or special Ed.
It’s just as wrong but it’s effective. And that is why people use it.
Changing the word retard to something else or calling it the R-Word is just a band-aid.
Your fight is to stop people from using you as an insult.
Good luck.

Scientific Study on Porn Halted Due to Lack of Control group
Posted on | February 4, 2010 | No Comments
An ambitious scientist at the University of Montreal, Canada intended to research how pornography influences how men perceive women, and in turn, affects their sexuality.
In order to do that he wanted to compare two distinct groups of men.
The first would be a group of twenty-something males that had never seen porn before and the second group would be of twenty-something males that admit to viewing porn regularly. Unfortunately the study was scrapped because he couldn’t find a group of men in their twenties that hadn’t watched porn.
Are you surprised? I’m not.
When I was a kid, if you wanted to look at porn you had only three ways of getting it.
One, you either waited until someone in your neighborhood had their girlfriend move in, and then go through their garbage because they would toss all of their magazine’s out on the curb the week or even days before she moved in.
The second way was to look at your father’s stash which he hid under his bed mattress. But he rarely had more than a book or two because if he stuffed more than that under the mattress you mom would feel the lump.
Your last option was to get some older kid in the neighborhood to go into the drug store and buy one for you.
Today, it’s totally different. If you want to see porn all you have to do is turn your pc on.
The personal computer did for porn in the 90s what the VCR did for porn in the early 80s… it made a lot of people famous and rich.
There is absolutely no barrier between porn and you anymore.
The biggest hurdle that you have to jump over to get to porn is to turn off the “safe search” on your Google browser.
Then type in anything you want. It doesn’t even have to be sexual in nature. Type in “College Scholarship” in Google images and you has more porn than you can look at in a life time.
I am glad that the study was scrapped because I am not sure you want to compare men who have seen porn to men who have never seen porn.
What pertinent information could you gather from that?
Comparing those two groups of men is like comparing Tree Sloths and Kangaroos.
Yeah, they’re both mammals. What’s your point?
The study was flawed from the beginning if you ask me. It should’ve just focused on twenty-something’s who had never seen porn.
That study is the one that has Nobel Prize written all over it.
What makes them tick? Are they color blind? What do they eat? Where do they live? How do they communicate? Those are the questions that we would want answered.
Eventually Professor Simon Louis Lajeunesse, who was leading the study decided to change his focus altogether and ended up studying the habits of young men who did use porn.
Boring. Yawn.
That is like setting out to find Big Foot but once you realize how difficult that’s going to be deciding to just interview Peter Mayhew instead and ask him what it was like to play Chewbacca.

Our Take On: Biblical Miracles
Posted on | February 3, 2010 | No Comments
The Judeo-Christian God is supposed to be omnipotent; omnipresent.
That’s generally the idea with monotheistic faiths.
Consolidate, consolidate, consolidate.
Why have pantheons of Gods when you can just have one?
What I have always found pretty interesting is that although the Judeo-Christian God created the universe and everything in it, for whatever reason, he couldn’t part the red sea or put it back the way he found it without Moses waving his walking stick over the water.
What’s up with that?
Read your bible. God asked Moses to stretch his staff over the Red sea to part it and then to wave it over the red sea again to have it come crashing down on the Egyptians that were pursuing them.
Does that seem strange to you or am I the only one?
Who was around to wave their sticks back and forth when God was creating the moon and stars or was he pulling double duty?
Why would God need anyone to do anything to perform a miracle?
The answer is that, obviously God, being the perfect, omnipotent, omniscient, originator and ruler of the universe didn’t need Moses to stretch his stick out over the red sea to part it.
Nor did he need Moses to stick his staff into the Nile River to turn it to blood nor to turn the dirt on the river banks into gnats.
So what was the point in asking him to do it?
This has been bothering me since I was like seven years old.
Only now I think I have found the answer.
If you ask me, what happened to Moses can be summed up perfectly in professional wrestling terms.
What God was doing with Moses was helping the Israelites make a connection between Moses’ stick and the miracles.
In professional wrestling this is called a push.
In professional wrestling a push is when a wrestler is promoted through interviews and or winning matches in order to get that wrestler “over” or to make him sweet.
You have to remember, before God decided to give Moses a push Moses was what wrestlers would’ve called a heel.
Moses having been closely associated with Pharaoh and a member of the royal family was for all tense and purposes a bad guy.
So in order for God to get him “over” with the Jews God created an “angle” for Moses. An angle in professional wrestling is an event or series of events that is usually a confrontation between two or more wrestlers that intensifies a feud.
In this case, the angle he had planned was designed to turn Moses and Pharaoh, two men who were raised like brothers and grew up the best of friends, against each other till they were at each other’s throats.
If all turned out well, Moses would be transformed from a “heel” to a “face”, and basically become the star God hadn’t had since Abraham.
You see, the whole stick waving thing was all a part of that. Essentially by making it look as if Moses was actually parting the waters and bringing it back down upon the Egyptian soldiers he was making Moses look sweeter than he really was.
The idea was to give Moses a push as a face and then once he is over with the Israelites, have Moses “do business on the way out” and “put God over”.
“Doing Business on the Way Out” is when one wrestler who is on his way out of a promotion “ jobs” to other talent that is staying in the promotion. In other words, he hands the mantle over to someone else.
Obviously God needed some help getting over with the Jews because no sooner than Moses left to the mountain top to get the 10 Commandments the Israelites went “Hindu” on em’ and built a golden calf.
So basically all God was asking of Moses was to take the fame that he gained from the Exodus/Pharaoh angle and then give God all of the credit.
Unfortunately Moses had other ideas.
He started taking too much credit. He really believed he was actually doing something with that stick. That stick never did shit before God told him to start sticking it in the Nile, stretching it over the Red Sea, turning sand into gnats or making water coming out of rocks.
But can you really blame him? As far as he knew God wasn’t shit without Moses’ magic stick.
Once Moses started making water come out of a rock with his stick it became clear to God that Moses thought he was bigger than the promotion.
That’s when Moses quit selling the moves.
Selling the moves is to act like you were really on the receiving end of a wrestling maneuver. In this case, Moses quit selling the fact that God had a little something to do with the fact that they weren’t still in Egypt.
In the end God realized that he had put himself in a bad position because he couldn’t just totally diss Moses. Without Moses who was going to put him over? As far as the promotion was concerned Moses was his only legitimate star. There was no number two. Moses was it.
Eventually other stars would rise, Joshua, Sampson, Solomon and David to name just a few, but at the time Moses was pretty much all he had.
So he ended up just making Moses the highest paid jobber on the circuit, eventually allowing Joshua to take over and then refusing to let Moses lead his people to Canaan, instead having Moses die on Mount Nebo peacefully in his sleep of an enlarged heart.
The hormone drug HGH is known to be capable of increasing the size of organs like the heart. It has never been confirmed that Moses had in fact taken the drug.
But if you pair up the fact that it isn’t at all unusual in this kind of business for otherwise healthy people to just die unexpectedly with the fact that the Bible says that Moses was still strong and had good eyesight when he died I say it isn’t difficult to put it together.

Judge Has Cases Repudiated After Taking Kick Backs From Privatized Prison
Posted on | February 2, 2010 | No Comments
A Pennsylvania judge recently tossed out all the juvenile cases that were handled by former Luzerne County judge Mark Ciavarella between 2003 and 2008 after he was convicted of taking kickbacks (2.8 million dollars in all) from Robert Powell and Robert Mericle, the co-owner and builder respectively, of two private, for-profit juvenile facilities. Robert Powell and Robert Mericle paid Ciavarella to give juvenile offenders longer sentences and then to funnel those juvenilles to their facility.
Now do you think Robert Powell and Robert Mericle wouldn’t have paid Ciavarella 2.8 million if they weren’t making much more than that off the state on the juvenilles he was sending them?
Some argue that privatization of government services would make for better services all the way around for the public.
I completely disagree. I believe that the services that the government provides should not be vulnerable to being constipated or denied entirely because of profit concerns. Privatization does just that.
If prisons were still state run, no one would’ve paid this judge a damn dime because there wouldn’t be a for-profit component inserted into the equation.
No one would be making any money at providing this service as it should be.
What did you think would happen when you’re running prisons for profit?
And although I am sure that not all of Judge Ciavarella’s judgments from 2003 to 2008 were inappropriate all of his cases are now tainted.
If privatizing prisons is fine then why don’t we privatize jurors as well?
Why don’t we have these for-profit prisons provide the jurors to sit on these cases as well?
I am sure that a professional juror would be much better at listening to a case than the Joe Schmoe you pull away from his real job to sit on a jury for $8 bucks a day.
You could argue that to ensure the integrity of the juror system standards be put in place to become a professional juror. They would be required to take so many hours of classes, then pay a fee to be certified (all training and certification would be paid for by the for-profit prison of course) and with all of that training, they would make a much more qualified juror than the disinterested ones we deal with now.
What? What’s wrong with that idea?

Our Take On: This is it
Posted on | January 30, 2010 | No Comments
Ok, I admit that when Michael Jackson died, it hit me pretty hard. I even worked from home on the day of his funeral so I could watch it. As many of you know I loved my childhood. Thriller was such a huge part of that childhood that it wouldn’t have been the same without it.
But beyond Thriller, I was also a fan of the artist that created and performed it. I didn’t know the man but I loved the artist Michael Jackson, in fact I was Michael Jackson for Halloween when I was in the 5th grade.
Funny, I had no idea how prophetic that would be.
When the concert film This Is It was released in the theaters, I wasn’t going to go anywhere near the film, not because I would get emotional about it, but because, well, I hate to admit it, but in the latter years of his life Michael scared me.
Whenever I think of Michael Jackson in my mind’s eye I am always thinking of Thriller Mike.
This pasty white, sickly thin Michael, whose face had become all misshapen and distorted through plastic surgery made him look like what I would imagine Sauron would look it if I ever got a chance to take a peek under his helmet.
Why he did that to himself only he knows. As far as I was concerned he was perfect during his Thriller days. Now, I understand that by that time he had already had some work done, but as far as I could tell he didn’t look any different than he did on the Off The Wall album except that he had upgraded his afro for a Jheri curl.
Mike is precisely why I stay away from cosmetic surgery. A little tuck here and there might sound like a good idea, but you never know what the finish product is going to look like until it’s done and you can’t do anything about it.
Mark my words, one day, when the majority of the world are emotionally removed from the phenomenon that was Michael Jackson, and anyone that was actually around when MTV debuted the Thriller video or when Michael performed Billie Jean on the Motown 25 Reunion special is either dead or damn near, these new objective eyes are going to look at This Is It and be stupefied as to why everyone is sitting there looking at him in this film and acting like there isn’t anything wrong.
The world would’ve collectively fainted had Thriller Mike been in a terrible car accident and after unwinding bandages from his face looked like the Michael we saw at the time of his actual death.
I would imagine that descriptions of that accident would’ve read something along the lines of:
World renowned Pop Superstar Michael Jackson was involved a horrific accident in the wee hours of the morning just outside his home in Santa Barbara County, California today. Eye witnesses say that Jackson’s vehicle, which must’ve been travelling at a tremendous speed, hit a concrete barricade before it took flight, flipping end over end several times before landing on the nose of the vehicle. Amazingly the vehicle continued forward sliding down the road, and spinning, as one eyewitness accounted, and I quote, “like a bottle top”. Horrified eyewitnesses say that Jackson could be seen as far as twenty feet away bouncing from window to window inside of the vehicle as it spun. Witnesses say that from their vantage point it seemed like Jackson hit every window with his face at least twice. “It’s truly a miracle that Jackson is still alive.”
It broke my heart to read somewhere that Mike knew he had taken surgery too far. He reportedly said that he didn’t want anyone to look at him. He wished he could go somewhere where no one could ever look at his face again.
Here was one of the most sought after figures on the planet and he didn’t want people to look at him.
It would’ve been sad had this been the case just because he was shy, it seems even more tragic to me because he had done this to himself.
That broke my heart. All this time I thought Mike was oblivious to what he had turned himself into, like some male version of Jocelyn Wildenstein.
But I’m still glad I saw the film because the other thing I am going to pull from THIS IS IT is that in 1978, when Michael Jackson saw someone doing the robot, his life changed completely.
Although the film didn’t have any flash backs of what that moment must’ve been like, it was made very clear that Mike’s entire dance style is nothing more but a modified robot. His dancing style is still genius but once you watch This Is It for 2 hours you realize that is all it is.
Now that I understand what constitutes the basis of his dance style maybe now when I am doing my version of his trademark falsetto voice and vocal hiccups in the shower in the morning, I can get some of his moves down too.
Our Take On: Johnny Sokko and his Flying Robot
Posted on | January 30, 2010 | No Comments
When I was a kid I loved Johnny Sokko and his Giant Robot. It was easily my favorite show. It came on every other weekday alternating with episodes of Ultra-man on WJBK TV 20. I still remember thinking at the time that the Japanese were the shit because they had the technological know how to build a giant robot to keep everyone safe.
Boy, what would I have done to have my own giant robot like Johnny Sokko?
But at some point it dawned on me that Japan had a Giant Robot for a reason. They say neccesity is the mother of invention and
Japan was getting attacked by giant alien monsters like every episode. And although in the end of each episode everything seemed to wrap itself up all nice and neat like, the idea of having a Giant robot started to sour on me a bit. If that was the trade off, that if you want a Giant Robot then you have to deal with people trying to kill you everyday then I was glad that I didn’t have a Giant Robot. Even then I didn’t like drama.
It was pretty much the same thing with my second favorite show Batman. I would’ve loved to have been able to ride between Batman and Robin in the Batmobile going out and fighting crime but Batman’s rogue gallery came too damn close to killing him far too often. That is why I used to think they ended every episode on a cliffhanger instead of ending every episode neat and trim like Johnny Sokko did. I didn’t know a cliffhanger was a plot device. I thought “Tune in tomorrow — same Bat-time, same Bat-channel!” was just a way to give Batman a little extra time to figure out how to get his ass off that conveyor belt before he was carried off into that 10,000 degree furnace or how to untie himself from that altar before he was smashed under a giant boulder. I half expected every day to find out that they wouldn’t be broadcasting any more episodes of Batman for precisely that reason…
