Change of Registration

Going back to "non-aligned." I can't take the sanctioned and cheered insults to Blacks. If I don't take it from Democrats, why take it from Republicans?

Republican official praying for the death of the President vs praying for a change of his mind?

Enough!

Etta James, RIP

Republican Politics

Rick Perry is pulling out of the race.

Meanwhile, the results from Iowa have changed and it appears Rick -- I
don't want to make black people's lives better by giving them somebody
elses money -- Santorum appears to have have won by 30 something
votes. Meanwhile, __ EIGHT PRECINCTS IN IOWA ARE MISSING
VOTES_.

Is Iowa the new Chicago?

Uhhh... No Comment

Affirmative-Action Foe Is Facing Allegations of Financial Misdeeds

"He also said the group had reduced his pay to $850,000.

One reason Mr. [ Ward ] Connerly has been a particularly effective advocate is that he is black. Mr. Clegg said there were “few people who can do or would do what he does,” adding that it is hard to set a salary on a job that requires enduring racially charged name-calling from fellow blacks. "

Paula Deen and Crass

Paula Deen disclosed she has type 2 diabetes. Given the way she cooks, that shouldn't be a surprise. What, to me, however, was distasteful -- HAH! -- about her announcement was the disclosure that she is now the
pitch woman for a drug to combat diabetes.

In my opinion, that's just crass.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr and all of those who worked directly and indirectly with him, I say thank you. The legal rights have been won and the rest is up to "us".

If Maryland Is #1 In Education

If Maryland is number one in education as is being reported, why do Maryland public colleges say half of Maryland high school graduates need remedial classes?

I Keep Asking Where Are The Capitalists Protecting Capitalism

I keep asking where are the capitalists who should be out there
protecting capitalism? The following is from Newt -- Black people
should stop demanding food stamps -- Gingrich:

GINGRICH: If we identify capitalism with rich guys looting
companies, we're gonna have a very hard time protecting
it.

He's right on that statement.

Too Busy To Write Today

I'm busy standing in line demanding food stamps and welfare.

Sell Off Baltimore City Hall

When it was first reported that then acting mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake had authorized the Baltimore City Housing Department to ignore a court order to pay victims of lead paint poisoning in Baltimore housing projects, I thought to myself that the lawyers should have a lien filed on city hall. Then, after field, chain lock the doors on city hall and hold an auction to sell everything in the building. Today, I read this:

Representatives from the Baltimore sheriff's office moved across a city housing authority parking lot Wednesday morning, tagging 20 of the agency's vehicles to be seized and eventually sold to pay part of a court judgment to lead paint victims.

The Housing Authority of Baltimore City has resisted paying siblings Antonio Fulgham and Brittany McCutcheon the $2.59 million awarded by a jury in 2010, as the agency appeals the case. But the plaintiffs, who suffered lead poisoning while living in public housing, have filed legal actions to move forward with collecting the debts. The levy against the vehicles, and Wednesday's tagging, paves the way for them to be auctioned.

It's not city hall, but it's a start. It's a great move on the lawyers part.
