Sarah Palin... (it was bound to happen sooner or later) As if she weren't "certified enough, the crazy Alaskan Asshat is at it again. Imagine if Quentin Tarantino or Eli Roth were to join forces with John Waters and make a political comedy, this would have been a scene from that movie. After watching this I was left speechless, didn't know if I wanted a cigarette or cry. Here's the full video of her interview as shown on MSNBC.
It was reported in the November 11th edition of the Press & Sun Bulletin (local paper here in Binghamton) that 20 year old Malik Alvin, a junior at Binghamton University and Bearcats basketball player, was charged after (as what our local newspaper words...) a "condom heist goes awry" at Wal-Mart in Vestal, NY. I love the sensationalism, slow news day I guess. Alvin is accused of taking two 36-count boxes of Trojan Magnum condoms of the shelf (as supposedly seen by security) into the restroom , emptying the contents of one box into the front of his pants and left the other there. I'm guessing because there wasn't enough room? In an attempt to leave the store while being pursued by the crack security team, he had "collided" with a 66 year old woman who was knocked down and sustained a concussion. Alvin pleaded innocent to both counts of petite larceny and third degree assault, each misdemeanors. He remains free until further court action. I find this to be what most people simply call shoplifting, but I guess in this case, size does matter. But rest assured, whatever the outcome may be, we all know in the end he'll be getting laid a lot more.
Yes, it is. As much as many of us Americans would like to say how far this country come when it comes to diversity (whether racially or with one's sex or sexuality), we clearly don't have a clue what's going on. November 4th was indeed a historic day and actually a day to feel proud. Then the morning of the 5th happened. I don't think many were thinking that Obama would be president for the next four years at the time of voting. Our society's way of thought works in very sad ways. They were probably assuming that he'd be "president for the day" as if he were a child from the Make A Wish Foundation. Of course the finger pointing is aimed towards the African-American community for what's wrong in this country (politically and socially) because now there is a "so-called" legitimate reason or excuse for that matter. The United States is kind of like an office building for some shitty company that specializes in making stationary. You would consider yourself as the most non-racist or non-prejudiced person in the whole world and really like "the black guy" who sits in the cubical next to you. In fact, you even invite him over to watch the big game or to your family barbecues. But when word gets out that he's planning on moving up the corporate ladder and actually get that position, those feelings start to surface. You get angry and start thinking of every stereotype imaginable and next thing you know the whole company is going to take a big shit even if this guy hasn't stepped foot into the office yet. Relax people! you don't know how it's going to be yet. This country is in shambles right now, good luck to any man that's willing to try to fix it. Even if you think that there will be large barbecues or low-riders parked in the front lawn of the White House, is that really a bad thing? I'll bring the potato salad.
With all the emphasis on the African-American community or as Bill O'Riley would say "Black Folk", the TV friendly alternative, since the unexpected large turn-out of "Black" voters (because I'm guessing they don't work or just flat out lazy) electing the first "Black" President, in case you haven't heard. Now with the increasing amount of protests opposing the passing California's Proposition 8 and other such so-called "Constitutional" amendments passed in other states, it seems that no one wants to fess up to actually voting it's approval (You know, like when everyone bitched about the Spice Girls back in the 90's, but yet they were the biggest selling group, so you knew someone had to be buying their shit). According to the "media", as a last minute scramble to find a scapegoat, they've quickly place the blame on none other than, and like on everything else since the beginning of slavery, those "BLACK" people. Now that the Barak Obama is moving in and gay rights are slowly being taking away "legally", it's become apparent that we all have to come to the conclusion that this was all single-handedly undermined by the "Black Community" and NOT by hypocritical right-wing bigots.
Gay columnist Dan Savage on Comedy Central's The Colbert Report speaking about the protests:
Tonight, an historic election has taken place, as Barak Obama became the first African-American president. With that aside, I feel that for once my vote counted, unlike the last two elections. Words can't express what I'm feeling right now. Even the air smells refreshing. It's like the Death Star has been defeated.
