Time for a Cain'ing

I'm an independent thinker and therefor a registered independent. There is no party that I want to be affiliated with and so I feel no betrayal when I say that I am grossly concerned and disturbed by Herman Cain's 999 taxation deal. I don't see many people discussing this on FB and that concerns me even more. I am not a fan of Cain or his elaborate grand slogans. I don't think the country needs more promises. And I don't think the person running the helm matters if the class won't play nice, we'll all be in trouble. You know, like back when you were in elementary school and someone threw a spit ball at the teacher's back, she'd threaten to make everyone stay late or give extra homework until someone fessed up. Yeah? Well welcome back to third grade.

I thought the point of checks and balances was to ensure that no one takes advantage or gets taken advantage of (too much). Well if a six fingered kleptomaniac is running the liquor store, we're in trouble now.

How come real life isn't like the Eddie Murphy movie 'Trading Spaces'? How come people in Congress and the House aren't realizing that they're being watched and they need to run down 20 flights of stairs to give back the money clip; tell everyone to "Get out," when their guests start tearing up the antique and imported rug?

Looking through my rose colored glasses, I'd really like to think that it would happen like that. But since the owners of the corporations are lovers kissing cousins with the politicians currently in office, the private sector has more than the decline of property value going down when the ninjas sneak in for an invasion. (Yeah, I'm down with the ninja movement)

Instead, let's discuss the 4th largest political party, "The Band-wagoners," and why they always wait for the media to educate them on proposed policies and the political voting records of the candidates. I know, who has the time to look up political voting records online when there's a new celeb's bare ass glistening on WSHH? It's so much easier to choose the one with the memorable catchphrase or woman or man with the tan who can give you five on the back hand and make you feel like your're not a racist. It leaves so much room for the many feature writers and biased personalities also known as reporters to weigh in and offer their views on it. (Nothing like the smell of fresh game in hunting season; is it rabbit or fox?)

Oh, and for all you religious GOP folk, I guess you were busy counting your dollars instead of noticing the correlation between Cain and the 9-9-9 (insert upside down view here) tax reform proposal. No? Well, maybe you were still busy whispering about how Hank Williams Jr. was wronged for not being able to exercise his freedom of speech.

Well, here's another. I know that this is a simplified summary of what I hope would be a more complex solution of the head cold the economy has been trying to get over. But it gives real and clear monetary comparisons about how effective it would be. John King of CNN is the quarterback for this one. Take a peek here.

Awkward Black Girls Unite!

So for everybody who doesn't participate in finding the obscure online, please take this input on these webisodes with great care. I LOVE THEM!

The Misadventures of an Awkward Black Girl webisodes by Issa Ray are freaking hilarious. It is very reminiscent of times when I myself felt the bottled up anger and awkward moments at a previous job. I was the only person of color there and the office piped smooth jazz and elevator Muzak and opera all day long. I ate lunch in the parking lot of a nearby mall in my car for the duration of my employment with the exception of the one day they threw a pizza party. Even then, I ate at my desk and continued to work. The owner sat two desks away from me. He was a republican with a pony tail. Oh, the dichotomy! I mean, who invites the entire staff of nine to their house for a barbecue with their family only to inform them that they are closing the office and relocating to the town where their family lives to give them your jobs. Yeah, good times...

Anywhoo...

More funny than I can describe packed into these episodes. Hopefully she'll end up with a show on a cable channel that I can afford and be more popular than that girl Rihanna and the awkwardness I feel when she's channeling her alternate personality Pussy N Moore from the late night Skinimax line up.
