Sure it happened about a week ago, but I’m just now finishing up my thoughts on the subject. What’s irked me is Gary Bauer’s comments (that shameful Washington lobbyist) in that he dismissed Powell’s endorsing of Barak as an irrational act of racial solidarity. He's backing Barak 'cause they're both light skinned niggas? Please! McCain showed the pink of his ass by selecting Sarah Palin, that in itself should disqualify him from assuming power... should he win the election.
Bauer's comments smack of old skool bigotry, because most Black people in the Street have NEVER dapped up Colin Powell. In fact his name is routinely mispronounced as Colon, not Colin… it indicate that shit just passes through him.
Obviously he needs to make amends for being the Voice of the Bush Doctrine at the UN to convince people across the globe that the WMDs did in fact exist. A man has he been smarting since then.
So suck a left nutt Bauer, and keep your check book open as you write more checks to keep your self in the mix inside the Beltway, as your failed ideology continues to wreak havoc with the country at large.

Judge and Jury are forced to confront each other
To there was a groundbreaking case before the Supreme Court about discrimination during jury trials. The issue at stake is that prosecuting attornies were using their pre-emptory strikes (where they can just say, "you, you're off the jury" no questionsed asked) to systematically remove Blacks (and probably other minorities, too) from jury pools.
The Supreme Court, in a 7 - 2 Ruling, overturned a 1996 case in which the DA took five niggas off the jury, and sealed this ex-G.I. Joe's fate and sent him to death row by packing the jury with white folks. The details of the jury selection revolve around thsi one Black 26-year old student, who offered up some potential excuses that the trial might force him to miss a few days of class, and he was concerned about that. Even though the dean of his school said it would be okay, the DA kicked old boy off... so he could keep this one white dude on the jury, who was a contractor with two houses under construction and a wife coming home from the hospital after a major surgery, and he had no help at home. Now, who really needs to be removed?
The prevailing justices stated that it was egregious for the prosecutors to behave this way, and now they were on blast -- you kick niggas off the jury, then your conviction is apt to be overturned.
And the issues raised by Rev. Jerry Wright are labeled outrageous?
THE BITCH HAD WARDROBE MALFUNCTION?
Apparently the GOP dropped in excess of $150K on new, luxury Wardrobe (see Momist) for Sarah Palin and her ENTIRE family. I guess if you’re the head of government of the wanna-be breakaway state like Alaska, you can get away with dressing like Joe Six-pack’s moll and still be respected. I think it’s shameful and smacks of caddish behavior
What kills me about the walking spoof is that she keeps claiming that Obama’s tax proposals are socialist in nature, when the fact that Alaskan citizens get hand-out of petro-dollars that filters into the state’s coffers from the sale of that crude. Now if that isn’t socialist, then I don’t know what is? When the government hands out education grants and loans, which she no doubt used to attend the four different colleges that she attended, is that also considered the pinnacle of capitalism or is it more socialist in its slant?
This is the chumpess (ya like that?) who thinks that the Veep actually “runs things” in the Senate! She’s unfit for command, not because she’s a contemporary of Obama or inexperienced, but because she’s god-damn ignorant! And a hate monger to the extreme; not to mention her husband was/is a member of a seditious group (akin to the Southern Rebels during the Civil War); I’m surprised he has been arrested on charges and executed (which is the penalty for sedition!). I bet she didn’t know that, too.

When The World In Running Down...
You make the best of what’s still around… a favorite line from a great Sting song called, “Another Day”; steal the mp3 from somewhere (like gomusic.ru) if you haven’t heard it. It was written in the early 80s, so it’s most poignant today… as we’re re-living those harsh economic times… although our times might be harsher than the ear of Stagflation.
People are scared these days, really scared because under the last three GOP administrations the country has scurrilously outsourced too many jobs. People are looking for scapegoats, best be sure; point in fact (this isn’t funny, but it’s hilarious) Lehman Brothers C.E.O., Richard Fuld, got punched in the company gym after it was announced that the firm was going under.
Allan Greenspan, the so-called maestro, admitted today, “I made a mistake in trusting that free markets could regulate themselves without government oversight.” First of all, the free market NEEDS to be regulated, it always has been – just think about the early days of the industrial revolution in England when kids were put to work in factories, because they were cheap labor. And the “Free market” demands the cheapest possible inputs.
FUCK THAT!
The Free Market is so rapacious and insatiable with its desire for continued growth at the expense of damn near everybody. And the sick joke is, American Culture still inculcates its citizens with the antiquated concept of “fair play.”
Greenspan expressed the real problem with this statement, “I made a mistake in presuming that the self-interests of organizations, specifically banks and others, were such as that they were best capable of protecting their own shareholders and their equity in the firms.” The financial markets have been run since the mid 80s by a bunch of modern day robber barons – but this time they aren’t being so magnanimous with their wealth when it’s time to die. It was pretty much writ in stone and writ large the members of the corporatocracy (see Secret History Of the American Empire) would rape and pillage – even at the expense of shareholder value and the integrity of the firm – with impunity ever since Enron was found out to be molesting its stockholders and the public at large. All so those “smart guys” could have these multiple multimillion dollar houses all over the US.
People are actually scaling back on medications – which is why we need to have an overhauled healthcare system. One in which the Insurance companies are cut the fuck out of the picture. Why is that if you get sick that you have to ask the insurance company if you can get treatment? You don’t ask the doctor what kind of treatment you require, you ask the claims adjuster if you can even have treatment that isn’t just a Johnson’s & Johnson’s band-aid, a slap on the back and a plastic smile!?!?

Obama and Money
You know the oddest thing about Obama’s campaign on a socio-political viewpoint is that he’s raised huge sums of money (the GOP would say sickening sums, but fuck them). And this is interesting, because after raising $150 million in September, he’s only got a few weeks left to spend that money, and he’s probably still raising more.
He obviously needed these huge sums of money for his 30 minutes of triple network primetime airtime that he’s buying next week to put the ultimate pimp-slapping on McCain (and the GOP in general) next week. What he’s doing is completely unprecedented in American Politics! He’s basically arranging to have his own State of the Union before he’s even president (that is if he becomes president of this teetering republic), and he’ll break it down to the real (and false) Americans on that day – less than a week before the election – and expose the fraud and backstabbing and pocket-pilfering and general fuck-all-y’all mindstate that the GOP have been propagating since Newt Gingrich got his blasphemous Contract With America issued in the early 90s.
If I was an FBI agent, a crooked one that is, I would be tapping the houses and phones of many of the so-called power brokers in the country on Election Night, just to hear what this chumps have to say! How they react, how they scowl (as if I can hear scowling, but it’s possible!).
The money that this Black Man is commanding is more money than any black could hope to even dream about amassing for a political campaign. And I’m sure all the Old Guard Negroes are swing bats at their favorite effigy and cursing up a storm that they could never raise even a fraction of Barry’s monopoly-esque money boon!
I wonder if he’ll dole it out to other politicians in need?

100 Days Left
Dubya's only get 100 days left in office, and then the International Criminal Court needs to indict him and his entire war cabinet during the entire length of the Iraq War for War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity.
The ICC refuses to mount those charges, then it needs to stop indicted ANYBODY with those charges, and people who are up for trial on those charges now need to have them dismissed.
