B%$^ are you serious?????

Ok so unlike a lot of my fellow Democrats, I watch Fox News and I watch the RNC because I just NEED to know what the other side is talking about. God forbid I wake up on November 5th and McCain is my President I need to know what his deal is.

So I settled down in my bed bit my lip ,put my fave political commentators on speed dial and watched the RNC keynote. Below are my thoughts as I watched:

Rudolph Giuliani

First thing that crossed my mind, Rudy Giuliani was the first loser and has too many family, infedlity and cross dressing issues to be a keynote at an AA meeting much less the RNC, but these people are known for bad decision making I'm not suprised...let me keep watching.

Next, I notice that there is a hell of alot of crowd participation in the form of booing. What the hell is this?? A convention or a Duke vs Maryland Game? Get it together say something substantial rather then trying to rile up your base. They already paid to come to Minnesota, your goal is to catch the swing voters duh!!!

Ok so Giuliani's speech not too remarkable, a lot of lame jabs at my boy Obama, but he's been brushing his shoulders off for a year now..no worries.

Sarah Palin

Ok cute jacket...but the praises stop there.

So I didn't blog about this, but on the day she was announced did you peep her "let me drop the kids off at school" hairstyle? Get it together.

Well my good friend Aria pointed out that the Topsy Tail phenomenom just reached Alaska because Sarah was definetly rocking one.

Ok but we must not judge people based on poor hair choices time to listen....

My fault let me check the TV Guide is this the Palin family reunion or the RNC? If her 3rd cousin doesn't sit the hell down and stop waving at me. If you don't want us talking about your family don't spend 15 minutes talking about them. A quick intro would be sufficient..NEXT

Ok so things that are going over my head...motherhood, hockey moms, ANYTHING having to do with a small town, pretty much anything having to do with the state of Alaska. Is she serious? What does she think she is accomplishing? Mind you I am sooo bored.

After 30 minutes of telling herself why she should be standing up on this stage (you're already the nominee idiot), she finally gets to her point. And the point is she is a comedian. Well who knew???

Let's take a moment to assess what Palin has to lose here. Ok moment done..NOTHING. Palin can and will lose this election and go back to being the governor of one of the least populated states in our country. She will have gained a little fame and have stories to tell her grandchild (the one on the way). So it makes perfect sense for McCain to put her up there to say everything that none of them has the balls to say. She got to make the most ridiculous claims ever under the shield of being a "strong women".

Well Ms. Palin you not only stepped off the porch but you lifted up your leg and pissed so please know that you are now fair game.

Anyways I digress....so during her stand up comedy routine Palin carefully uses the words "they" and "my opponent" when addressing issues such as motherhood and her experience. Well us college educated Democrats are no strangers to the art of ambiguity and semantics. We are not idiots. Obama, Biden nor the campiagn said ANY of that stuff. The media did, so don't try to act like Obama and company came for you as a women or a mother.

Ok so now that I am having my intelligence insulted Sarah delivers the coup de grace when she says, "I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a "community organizer," except that you have actual responsibilities."

APPLAUSE and CHEERING

This is my damn blog so I'm going to tell you at this point in my room by myself I was like "BITCH are you serious?"

Now I choose to believe that Obama is going to do what he says he going to do. But it is a FACT that this man took his Ivy League education and chose to give back to the community rather then take a big firm job. There is no denying his compassion for other people and his desire to help them. How are you going to #1 say something like that much less ellicit that type of response from the audience. Would these people spit on a homeless person?? I'm beyond done. I can't wait for this madness to end and my sane CNN panel to agree with me...

I tune out the rest of her silliness and then Wolf Blitzer comes on with Anderson and the gang. THEY LOVE IT!!! Rubbing my eyes... it says CNN in the corner right? Not Fox??? WTF is going on?? Did this women say anything about healthcare, the economy??? All she said about Iraq is that her son is going next week?? BTW it was pointed out to me this morning why aren't any of those damn kids in college?? O that's right they are rednecks...

I mean Sarah def drew her line in the sand and played her part. She is going to say all the borderline racists stuff and make claims of elitism and it will be off limits for us to say anything about what a poor excuse for a mother she is. So let's see how many of the 12 sensational topsy styles she can fit in the next few months. ugggg.

Soror Michelle

Ok first. I am so glad that for the next four years we are going to be seeing cute outfits (Maria Pinto a Chicago designer did the above dress). No more denim two piece suits for America!!!

Second, Michelle knows soooo much more than the Dewey Decimal system.

Michelle's speech was AMAZING. Nothing is more convincing then honesty. Michelle has lived on both sides. She has worked hard to achieve her status and education. She is a women, she is Black, she is a mother, she is a wife and she is a professional. Her perspective is so valuable to our country.

I enjoyed her letting us know who SHE is. Who her husband is and why they are the couple that they are and what their similarities and beliefs are.

Obama/Biden 08...Let's get it!!

The Hills are Alive!!

Sooo week one definetly sucked me in. I can't lie Spencer keeps things interesting, being that rude actually takes some thought. And Audrina shut LO down. For a moment (just a brief one) I saw a personality emerge.

Anyways, onto this week...please alert me when Doug says anything of substance. But then again LC hasn't said anything worth repeating for 4 seasons so with those similarities I see a marriage in the near future.

LO needs to go ahead and run her mouth to Audrina's face and not in the safety of the car. She also would have gotten kicked off of Shear Genius with that crazy bang she was rockin. And red lipstick is not for EVERYONE.

Anyways the set-up is getting better and better beacuse we all know that Stephanie is going to be friendless at the end of the season. All I ask is that MTV fire some of the editors. Is Whitney really still relevant? Why did I need to see her take a sip of wine. Get it together.

Stay Tuned

So what had happened was...

Please listen and laugh

As a follow up to the You Tube crack attack. K-Ci called into Hot 97 to clear the air. Here are just a few of my favorite lines:

"I dont even know how to spell cocaine"

"I don't drink Coca-Cola cause it says Coke"

"If you come to my house all your gonna drink is champagne and Crown Royal no cocaine....but ok maybe a little bit of weed."

"I hate Bill Gates, I hate Bill Gates for inventing the computer the computer or whatever that &%^* is called..."

Shame, Shame, SMH. And for the record Miss Jones or Wendy wouldn't have let him tell us this bootleg story! Who is this amatuer?

Punished

The thing about a blog is I can nicely point back to the past and let you know that I called something way back.

Per the usual things aren't looking so good for the Skins.

First, the "golden boy" Jason Taylor is going to be rockin' the nice warm up for the season opener next Thursday.

Second, I am still trying to figure out how one can get injured in a game when your team doesn't even score a touchdown.

I am also trying to figure out how Jim Zorn could form his lips to say he doesn't know what happened beacause he hasn't watched the tape yet. Ummmm it is clear to anyone who watched that disaster that you got MOLLYWOPPED!!!

Statitistics show that the murder rate is DC goes down when the Skins are winning. I'm about to go pick up a Kevlar.

SMH

Just a little something to get back in the game. Vacation was lovely, I had a lot of TV to catch up on but I AM BACK :)

Clearly I need a lil vacay

I am sipping some rum based drinks in a tropical spot for a few days so I can't say I will be up on the happenings. However I am sure some extraness WILL go down so check back to see what's going on.

Way Back in the Day...

Ten years ago I was munching on popcorn sipping a Sprite and laughing when it turned out that Cameron Diaz was referring to Brett Far-ver-ah as the "Brett" she was dating in Something About Mary.

This was Brett in his heyday.

Now I watch football on the regular, and I must say Brett was definetly making it happen in the 07-08 season. But come on, IT'S F-IN FREEZIN in Green Bay, you def had some advantage boo.

I have already run into one New Yorker asking me "How am I liking THEIR Jets right now?" Please make room on the bandwagon.

I like Brett so I want to see this turn out well for him. He could be the Dara Torres of football. It would make for a really good story.

But...Brett already pitched a fit and he's in NEW YORK. This is NOT the Midwest. These people have nothing better to do then scrutinize you. Bring your A game or go home. I just don't think he can handle the pressure and he's old. Take a seat next to McCain honey.

A-Rod can breathe a sigh of relief, the New York Post sportswriters are going to have a field day with this one.

Umm...Definitely Not!!

Tyra, Tyra, Tyra. Let me quickly pull you up.

First of all, I WANT to like you. I want to be supportive of a successful black women who serves as a role model for other black females and you are stacking that $ ALL on your own. However...It is time for me to go ahead and stop biting my tounge.

1) You are a hater



Tyra decided that the month that Beyonce's cover dropped was the perfect time to remind us what an IMPORTANT figure she was in Black History. Ummm negative. Please take a seat.

2) You are the Diddy of Modeling

Just like those poor souls on Making the Band, Tyra likes to ride the wave of each season of America's Next Top Model then quickly forget about the winners when it is no longer of benefit to her. I just don't understand there being like 7 seasons of a show where no one actually becomes a "top model"

3) I believe Karrine

Now I have never picked up a book by Karrine "superhead" Stephens. But I do know one thing. She has never to MY knowledge been sucessfully sued for defamation. So I take a lot of the things she says to be true. Including this little tidbit about Tyra Banks:

PR.com: In The Vixen Diaries you talked about your experiences doing the press tour for Confessions of a Video Vixen. You mentioned Tyra Banks being a hypocrite and you described her as being a female “male chauvinist,” and said that she turned on you during the interview. What did you feel that she did that was unfair, for people who didn’t see it?

Karrine Steffans: To make a very long tragic story short, when someone who is really not that different from you privately, but is publicly different from you, takes a public high road, then at some point it’s just disgusting. I think that Tyra was new in her job. We filmed my show before her first show ever aired. So, it was two months before she even hit the airwaves, so she was very new at her job. I don’t think that she understood, in her newness, how to be objective while doing the interview and not letting her personal feelings get in the way of being a talk show host, like her mentor which would be Oprah. Having been on Oprah and everyone else, it gave me a chance to see, “Ok. This is how you do it right and this is how you totally fuck it up.” And Tyra totally fucked it up. But she was new. So, I’m going to give her that credit. Maybe she didn’t know or understand, or maybe she’s just a giant bitch.


I mean why did Tyra get all besides herself with Karrine if there wasn't some
truth to what she was saying? I mean I do remember wondering what the heck she was doing in Higher Learning. Came to find out she was dating John Singleton...hmmm

Anyways you can agree or you can disagree. Shoot Tyra might be what Beyonce and Rihanna are to me (Your fave celeb hottie!)

But one thing is FO SHO. She should have NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER felt herself enough to do this little spread in Harper's Bazaar. I appreciate fashion and claps to the people who came up with the concept for this shoot. I mean THIS IS about to be how the Oval Office is looking in a few short months. But...

A) We could have just waited for Michelle to go ahead and handle this herself.

B) I'm not mad at this little cutie for portrayin Barack, he's trying to eat and he doesn't know any better. But Tyra, when they pitched this to you, you should have pushed your ego aside and DECLINED.

Ugggggg.
