Pastor Eddie Long Settles Out of Court

For real Pastor Eddie Long? I've never seen the righteous forsaken nor a gym locker room with marble tiled showers (maybe that's just the ones I visited). If you are not at the gym, there is no way you should be wearing that shirt and/or taking that picture. YOU ARE GUILTY OF SOMETHING. Maybe you are guilty of what you are about to do with this picture, but you are guilty. Dude, you are over 55 and everyone knows that those over 55 are relegated to 70's style profile pics EXCLUSIVELY, but they are still allowed to have @aol.com email addresses.

We need a new judicial system. One that works similar to how domestic violence cases are handled where the state takes over no matter what. Once you send in your paper work and make those claims, there is no turning back. Somebody is going to be prosecuted for something! Either the defendant is guilty or the plaintiff is being prosecuted for lying, perjury, slander, libel, etc. Oh yeah, we're going to get to the bottom (pun intended) of this. No more using the system and tax payer dollars to bluff or just see what will happen. If we implement something like this, maybe we won't keep getting caught with our pants down (pun intended).

On a more serious note check out the Fathers of the World Unite piece.

I AM HIP HOP

The emergence of all these dance television shows (So You think you can Dance, Dancing with the Stars, America's next Best Dance Crew, Dance your Ass Off-really the name of the show, Superstars of Dance, etc. really has our society going crazy. My wife just told me that she was looking for a Hip Hop class for my 6-year old..........BOY to participate in. "ARE YOU CRAZY," I said.......(in my mind)? Now one might think what's wrong with that, and to you I say a plethora of things. Here's my list:

1) Have you seen those "hip hop dancers on these shows?" The operative word is dancer. ThinkDarrin Henson (Lem) from Soul Food, "ain't no lie, bye, bye, bye" (click and go to 30 seconds)Without getting into a whole other subject, I'll just say as a father, I don't like the career/relationship path of male dancers.

2) He has a lot better things to focus on like the Bible, school, baseball, karate, mma cage fighting, power lifting, car oil changing, roofing, etc. I hope you get my drift.

7) (I skipped the other ones because I'm in a hurry) This is the most important one. I AM HIP HOP! Not that I'm the biggest fan of hip hop, rap or any of this new crap right now, but I was born in the mid 70's. I know what it was and all the things it's been through. I am not about to pay a foreign exchange student (hiphopdancer.com) any amount of money to teach my son what comes natural to him. The reason I know about the foreign exchange students is because my Mom got me with the banana in the tailpipe, when she was watching the middle kid during the summer and took him to "hip-hop" class. You should have seen that Slovenian women with her hat cocked to the side, determining who was cool. What's the next class, rhythm 101? or How to choose nice tennis shoes? or What a tight fade looks like? or What good soul food tastes like? or possibly how to attract the police.

This isn't just about HIP Hop, but all this feminizing of our young men.

Obama Watched Live as Osama Bin Laden Killed

Obama Watched Live as Osama Bin Laden Killed

All I can say is WOW! Is it me or does he have to be a shoe in for the next four years? Would it be arrogant to say, "I'm not going to campaign next year because you already know what it is." Would Americans really want to change at this point in time? While I don't believe racism exists in the way most are sure that it does, I would be convinced that it does exist if Mr. President did not win the next election.
On another note, I know that it is in very poor taste to celebrate when anyone dies. Hopefully Americans can contain themselves.
What do you think?

Another Case of the Porch Monkey

Have you been keeping up with your local chimpanzee news lately? If you haven't here's a quick update:

February 16, 2009 - A pet chimpanzee attacks its owners friend (click here to read the story)

February 18, 2009 - The New York Post runs the above cartoon (click here to read backlash)

First things first, what are you doing with a pet chimpanzee? Secondly, why is everyone so surprised that wild animals get buck wild every now and then. If you read the story, you'll see there were so many violations and signs that In the words of Chris Rock, "...that tiger went tiger."

Thirdly, the "covert" or rather overt racism isn't even debatable. I would hope that the watch dogs wouldn't spend any significant amount of time with this ignorance. It's like the Lakers arguing with the Clippers over who gets the good parking at the Staples Center.

Lastly, and not really talked about is the stereotype (which typically have some truth to it) that the police will shoot a black man in cold blood whenever they want to. It's very disturbing that even cartoonist recognize this and it's not just a black thang.
