WTH - The Inauguration Version

I've started watching The View again, apparently my job isn't enough of a headache, and they have a new segment called "What the Hell Wednesdays." I thought, 'why can't I do something similar whenever I take a notion to?'
Sometimes it may just be a picture, sometimes I may add text with that picture and sometimes there will be a video and so on.
So, here it is, my first installment of "What the Hell?!"


Fox contributor Michelle Malkin called the song "My President Is Black" racist. Since when do we look to rappers to uphold any kind of moral standard and the president is black. I am with Eb the Celeb on this one. It's just entertainment. Gah!


Is it just me or did Roberts do this -ish on purpose? Somehow, I think he wanted him to mess up. How do we know that Roberts isn't a tool for the Fox News "Fair and Balanced" news system?

*In my best Claire Hanks Huxtable voice* "Let the rec-cord show... " that Obama became the president at 12:01 p.m., per the U.S. Constitution. Why won't they just let it go? Your guy lost. Get over it.


WHAT THE HELL?! My initial thought when I saw Jigga Man in this get up is that someone killed a rabbit and put it on his head. But upon further review, it appears that someone trapped a beaver, skinned it and stuck it on top of his head.
And what is up with his goggles? Somebody please tell me that those things are not prescription. Obviously, his wife did not dress him before they left their hotel room. Next time, they should seek the opinion of others instead of having him run lose on the streets of our nation's capital looking like a new fool!

Speaking of folks looking a fool:

LMAO! This hat has Women's Day speaker written all over it. Those of you who grew up in a southern black church know exactly what I'm talking about. I don't usually have anything against church hats, but come on ya'll. This hat was a bit much for me.
My late grandmother wore hats, my godmother wears them and so do so many other women I look up to, but ya'll, I was not feeling this big ole' Christmas bow of a hat.
I'm just glad she didn't have her tatas out.
But I heard it was so cold, she might have frozen them off if she did. Long story short, if I had to choose between the hat and the tatas, I'd choose the hat. But dang, that hat was too much for me.

Feel free to share your WTH moments from inauguration. I'm pretty sure I missed a few things. Fill 'em in for me.

Today is the day!


Shortly after Noon today, our country will be calling a black man, "Mr. President." How awesome is that?
Yesterday was of course Martin Luther King Jr. Day and of course because both are great leaders who happen to be black men, they were compared. Because of the effect Obama has had on the public with his gorgeous looks and his celebrity appeal, he's been compared to John F. Kennedy.
Now, because one of Obama's political heroes is the nation's 16th president, Abraham Lincoln, and he's using Lincoln's Bible to be sworn in, he's being compared to him. Anybody seeing a pattern here?
Look closer. While all of these were excellent men and great leaders, they were all assassinated. Think about it.
I don't like these comparisons, not one bit! I'm superstitious and I need ya'll to stop it with these damn comparisons. Let the man get to work first. Give him some time to get into the swing of things. Don't immediately start comparing him to dead predecessors, that bad policy and I don't want ya'll to give these racist crazies any ideas.
If you need to compare him to previous leaders, say how he's smarter than Dubya. Say he's got more integrity than Richard Nixon and how unlike Ronald Regan, he's got everyone's best interest at heart.
Better yet, don't compare him at all. Instead of being the next Somebody Else, let him be the first Barack Obama.
