I’m already tired of reliving Michael Jackson’s life.
I bet we’re going to have to see this on tv for a month.
I hate tv.
“House Leadership Takes Suicidal Stand Against Its African-American Base”
I don’t give a s**t about most environmental stuff,either. For one, my opinion is all of this is about corporate greed. Compliance will not only steals money from us, but “Green” is a new profit center for companies who have run out of high margin products. It’s not like we purposely dump chemicals in the water anymore.
“A First Lady Who Demands Substance”
One area where I truly feel sorry for Obama. A demanding women who is probably whispering in his ear everyday,”I want to run something”. Why does she get to run anything?
‘”Part of my soul has died with Jacko’: Quincy Jones, Madonna and Steven Spielberg lead tributes for Michael Jackson”
I understand Q, he was an extremely talented jazz musician who worked with Sinatra, Michael Jackson, and, I found out later, the Brothers Johnson, one of my faves from college. But this whole thing is going to overkill, just like all of the others who die. Non-stop.
Someone just said on TV,”The world came to a standstill” Wanna bet?
@Breadbasker – ‘Someone just said on TV,”The world came to a standstill” Wanna bet?’
Indeed, I wonder how many Iranians care about Jackson right now.
i wonder if that bahrainian emir is going to go after his estate for some money he was forwarded against jacko doing an album.
can muslims do stuff like that?
i know they blow stuff up and kill people, but do muslims engage in civil actions?
Many of you took it as punchline when I said black people don’t give a shit about the environment
that’s funny.
i don’t look black.

“black people don’t give a shit about the environment”
“38% believe job losses resulting from climate change legislation would fall heaviest on the African-American community. Only 7% believe job losses would fall heaviest on Hispanics and only 2% believe they would fall heaviest on whites”
Unfortunately, nearly 40% don’t give a shit about other people, over 90% would consider Hispanic burden acceptable, and nearly 100% would consider “white” burden acceptable. Did they expect BS would exploit everyone else to their benefit? Would that have been acceptable? This is truly a “historical moment.” Well, its only a sample of 800 people from nearly 40 million, so we should give them the benefit of the doubt. I really hate the idea of, and disagree with, statistical sampling as an accurate representation of individual will. I hope my idealism will be justified.
“Only 4 percent self-identified as Republican.”
Wow, Bob. You really are a minority. Fortunately, the people who are of like-mind do not divide along lines of skin color. By the way, does the “African-American” classification include non-blacks, especially albinos (if there ever was a white people…)? And I thought Jews were single-minded. However, there is hope, starting with 4% of the black population, ~20% of the Jewish population, 40% moderates, and, those who elevate, 40% conservatives.

Yup. A lot of confused people out there. Starting with skin color, sexual identity, and on, and on, …
“Obama scoffs at Ahmadinejad apology demand”
news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_obama/print
I had to post this. I know everyone will have a good laugh at his expense.
He readily apologizes for everyone’s actions but his own. He must be perfect!?
Here is another “we told them so”:
“Big Oil’ s Answer to Carbon Law May Be Fuel Imports”
bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20670001&sid=a1ZiIqv3E4QE
Does anyone else think that “Big Green” represents those interests with an interest for payback to the US, and consequently, Americans? And our leader, BS, supports this unmitigated bs? This is not about saving planet Earth, and not about preserving human life. This is about “redistributive change.” Not the kind that slightly more than 50% of the population; alive, dead, illegal, and in multiplicity, had hoped for.
The Washington Post says “Although Obama’s Job-approval ratings have soared” ?? Where the hell are they getting their information from, never never land? Everyone I know way he is a moron & is ruining the Country – this from Liberals as well. The writer, Lois Romano must have her head in her, well you know. Her eyesight must be different than the rest of us.
Michelle wants to be more important (see any jealousy here?). She hired a full time writer (are we paying for this) to write speeches for her. I thought she was so “Brilliant” & a Law Scholar, why can’t she write her own speeches like the other First Ladies did. Oh, I forgot she is the smartest First Lady ever in the White House. Next thing, she will want a Teleprompter too. It looks like we got a twofer in power. Can a Country survive with two Dictators? Will there be a battle for ultimate control? Stay tuned for more Loony Tunes!
Here is some more comedy, courtesy of the “elites”:
“Conyers backs off probe of ACORN”
washingtontimes.com/news/2009/jun/26/conyers-backs-off-probe-of-acorn-practices/print/
“accusations the Association of Community Organization for Reform Now (ACORN) has committed crimes ranging from voter fraud to a mob-style “protection” racket”
“The powers that be decided against it,” Mr. Conyers (House Judiciary Committee Chairman)
the chairman had been referring to himself as “the powers that be.”
Yeah, right. I believe that for a second. Is this another example of mass extortion? By the way, something similar happened in early 2000 when Republicans attempted to audit HUD and the GSEs, Fannie and Freddie.
Curiously, his wife, Monica Conyers, has plead guilty to conspiracy (dated June 26, 2009). Hmm, could there be a connection?

Why does anyone bother watching soap operas or “reality tv”, when real life is so much more authentic.
“So people got Michael Jackson confused with an old white guy. Understandable”
race aside, how the hell did people screw up? the hollywood stars DO say the stars…I don’t know..NAME on them..how did they miss the star that said “MICHAEL JACKSON”??
I guess I’ll have to clean the Peanut Butter off of my keyboard, as the s & w keys are stuck together. Note, don’t let your 9yr old Grand-daughter use your Laptop without washing the peanut butter off of her fingers! Above should have been Everyone I know say, not way. Qtip
with alcohol works wonders!
“Her eyesight must be different than the rest of us”
That deserves a chuckle… maybe two.
Because the “richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life”? Sorry, that’s a Sotamayor quote. Wrong Latina.
“how did they miss the star that said “MICHAEL JACKSON”
I know… I know… Call me. They can’t read!?
“Teachers cite intense push to promote”
philly.com/philly/education/20090621_Teachers_cite_intense_push_to_promote.html
Am I right?
Wait… I gave an incomplete answer. Let me try again:
“Nearly 60% Won’t Graduate At South Side School”
cbs2chicago.com/local/bradwell.elementary.8th.2.1047246.html
Part of the problem:
“Dennis says she had no idea her son was about to fail English”
“Tarrell had failed English two times before”
Part of the solution:
“”You have to be in your kid’s life, you have to know what’s going on in their world,” said parent Vanessa Ewing. “I’m up at the school. The teachers know me. I stay on them. I stay on my kids.”
“It was something that child must not have been doing right in order for him to stay behind,” said parent Sharon Shavers
Well, that would explain why some fail and some succeed, right? Unless, of course, the regressives are right in blaming insufficient funding.
“another mother said she has all the cell phone numbers of her kids’ teachers and she calls them all the time, and her kids are doing well in school”
Do I win?
