A Pox on all their houses.

It is official.  The Dominant Media Culture cares NOTHING for this country.  They exist to profit from conflict.  Where there is no conflict, they create it.  Why even bother watching the news.

I would have just as soon watched THIS.

And I DID. (Well I DVRed it)

All that was missing was a heel turn and a steel chair.

I will NEVER watch an ABC News anything ever again.  I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO done.

Has anyone seen the price of FOOD?  ANYONE?

The price of Gas?

We are at war….on TWO fronts.

Flag Pins….SERIOUSLY?

This is a buncha Bullshit.

I am Irritated.

Nothing I have to say is as throught provoking as this.

I am deferring to Ta-Nehisi Coates, who has gone from writing pieces in the Washington City Paper to the Atlantic Monthly.

The boy is sweet with the nouns and verbs.

From Birmingham to Cleveland and Baltimore, at churches and colleges, Cosby has been telling thousands of black Americans that racism in America is omnipresent but that it can’t be an excuse to stop striving. As Cosby sees it, the antidote to racism is not rallies, protests, or pleas, but strong families and communities. Instead of focusing on some abstract notion of equality, he argues, blacks need to cleanse their culture, embrace personal responsibility, and reclaim the traditions that fortified them in the past. Driving Cosby’s tough talk about values and responsibility is a vision starkly different from Martin Luther King’s gauzy, all-inclusive dream: it’s an America of competing powers, and a black America that is no longer content to be the weakest of the lot.

It’s heady stuff, especially coming from the man white America remembers as a sitcom star and affable pitchman for E. F. Hutton, Kodak, and Jell-O Pudding Pops. And Cosby’s race-based crusade is particularly jarring now. Across the country, as black politics has become more professionalized, the rhetoric of race is giving way to the rhetoric of standards and results. Newark’s young Ivy League–educated mayor, Cory Booker, ran for office promising competence and crime reduction, as did Washington’s mayor, Adrian Fenty. Indeed, we are now enjoying a moment of national self-congratulation over racial progress, with a black man running for president as the very realization of King’s dream. Barack Obama defied efforts by the Clinton campaign to pigeonhole him as a “black” candidate, casting himself instead as the symbol of a society that has moved beyond lazy categories of race.

You are telling on yourself.

I would love to weigh in on this whole bitter deal, but I usually get so angry It becomes difficult for me to focus my thoughts.

Suffice it to say that I am in disagreement with the Conventional Wisdom on this one.  All i really have to say is I am a bit skeptical of any person who dares to speak for the working man when they are not working men themselves.
