Is it just me ...

... or is Santa a pimp? For real, think about it.
What kind of man do you know who wears a red velvet suit with fur around the collar and a matching hat? The only thing that kind of throws him off a little bit is his shoes are black.
And, what kind of man could convince a small cadre of people to do all the work and he get all the credit? And what does he say when he's flying through the air?
Ho, ho, ho.
That's not a laugh, that's how he calls his chicks. He doesn't have a funny horn that plays La Cucaracha, he's got jingle bells. And where else do you think he gets all the money to buys all them doggone presents? That stuff is expensive
I'll telling ya'll man, Santa is a pimp.

Is it '08 yet?

I am not one to rush time, but could 2008 please hurry and get here? Let's get somebody in the White House who will actually be able to do something besides get people killed.
Ya'll's president told reporters that it is al-Qaeda who is responsible for all of the violence in Iraq. I guess it doesn't have anything to do with American troops being over there to boost his ego.
And what is going on with NYPD? It seems like once a year some of these guys find a way to kill a minority without reason. And the sad thing is, it is spreading down south because Atlanta Police killed an elderly lady in her own home.
I am disgusted.
In case you haven't heard, NYPD managed to kill a 23-year-old man on his wedding day. The beat up part is one officer fired 31 rounds and 19 more came from other officers. Why in the world would an officer empty two magazines into one car?
I guess the Diallo fiasco taught them nothing. This is precisely the reason that people do not respect the police. Granted all of them are not bad guys, but the ones who are do more to tarnish the badge than the good ones do to uphold it.
I sincerely hope that the families of this slain man and woman get the justice they deserve and the officers at fault get the punishment they deserve.

Should we care?

... that Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise are finally married? I don't think so, but apparently my media counterparts do.
Personally, I think we have bigger fish to fry. Like Michael Richards going on a tirade shouting out racial epithets at black people in the audience of a comedy club he played this weekend. There is footage at http://www.tmz.com/2006/11/20/kramers-racist-tirade-caught-on-tape/ of him getting upset at some hecklers.
I guess now, his rep will issue a statement saying that he was drunk and Seinfeld and the fat hairy guy will go on Larry King and talk about a drinking problem that he's had forever and how he's not really a racist.
I hope this incident will be used as a teaching tool for why WE should stop using the word. To be completely honest, I was more disgusted than I was offended. I am not going to go down that road again.
In crazy negro news, what is up with O.J.? Is it not enough that he already beat the system. Even black folks are starting to look at him like, "now you're going too far." The new book is supposed to be a "fictitious" account of what happened. LoL!!! And he couldn't have come up with any other name except, "If I did it." He is really pushing it.
"The Man" is not gonna keep letting him get away with this stuff. He got away, Michael Jackson got away, now that's enough. These black male celebrities had better watch out, if they so much as steal an ice cream sandwich, they are going to put them under the jail.
Also in crazy negro news, two black kids down in Florida got arrested for posting a fight between two 6-year-olds on their MySpace pages. (I have closed my eyes and shaken my head.)
OK, how many of us weren't made to fight our brothers and sisters or cousins around our age? None of us right? OK, so, was anybody videotaped and put on the Internet for all the world to see? No? I didn't think so.
I know this ain't right, but it happens. We fight at home so we can learn to defend ourselves in the world. It ain't right, but it happens. The problem came in with these computer savvy, crazy a-- negroes who deemed it necessary to put it on the Internet.
This is a clear-cut case of being arrested for stupidity. I am not even sure of the charge, but the two were booked and one of the fools was on TV smiling like he was supposed to escorted by the cops to a patrol car.
I tell you people, I am worried. We seem to be getting dumber by the minute.

In semi-local news here in N.C., the good ol' church folks at the Baptist State Convention of NC voted to cut ties with any church that opens its doors to openly gay parishioners. Now there's a church group who's doing the Lord's work. That'll really bring in the sinners. (I hope you got my sarcasm.) I thought the idea behind church is to bring in those folks who are not in right relationship with Christ. This whole policy and everyone who voted for it has excluded people from the Lord's house. The problem behind that is the people at that conference are not in a position to exclude anyone or to leave them out. Church folk are so busy getting caught up in the politics of religion that they have eliminated the message of Christianity. As far as I am concerned, I believe that Christ himself would not be eliminating anyone from His home or His kingdom. All of these people have taken the Bible and twisted and taken parts that fit their own personal agendas. If they would stop and realize what they are doing and read ALL of the word. None of us are supposed to sit in judgement of each other because that is not our place. You know, people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw things. Each and everyone of those people who voted for this anti-gay policy in the church did so to turn attention away from themselves. Like one sin somehow outweighs another. A word to the wise, a person who lies and a person who kills will burn in the same Hell if they don't confess and give their life to Christ. OK, I'll get down off my soap box now.
Oh, before I forget, Bill Gates says that the U.S. education system needs work. Really? I hadn't noticed. I want to know how well folks expected the education system to be if the legislators keep taking money from it to put into the defense fund for a war that we shouldn't be fighting anyway. Dang, I'm up here again.
