Hey….it’s been awhile since I have personally addressed anyone, and I miss it.

George: I feel the need to address you first to get it out of the way and end my write on a positive note. I have been educating myself in the likes of whites such as yourself. The history of our country, not to mention the world is revealing to say the least, with no word to describe the evil at its worst. And history speaks volumes.  So much that one can only take so much of it in a single sitting without wanting to throw up. But you would never understand that because you are white…you are part of the problem.

Now I know what Madaline meant a long time ago when she described the white men as a “disease”, cancer that should’ve been killed a long time ago. And only seeks to kill anything that is not like itself, on a mission to produce, prosper and perpetuate. And eventually like cancer it will prey on itself when there is nothing left to prey on. And what happens when that happens? Need I say?

Rebecca: All I can say is you need to get off of FOX news and start watching elsewhere. Anyone who says Obama is an ass is just a racist. Obama has done more for this country than any single president in a very long time; perhaps even since Lincoln. But I doubt you would agree. You are a woman as one reader described, who will be kicking and screaming to her freedom. (Or something to that affect.)

Try being a bit more open minded, instead of listening to your white husband who like so many other whites, including our resident racist George, will do everything in his power to not see a black man succeed at the expense of this country, not to mention this world. Yes, I say this world..because the atrocities that whites commit are not limited to the whites in this country.

Be forewarned…once the whites have preyed on all of the otws, guess who’s next? Need I say? I HOPE you’re bright enough to figure that one out. Hint: The good ‘ole days weren’t exactly the good ‘ole days for women. As Robert says, “I guess you like you ass being whipped”. Bend over baby and get ready.

Robert: I bet your mother is so proud to have a son like you. I wish for you that your angst can be put aside so that you can share these last moments with your mother in peace and love

Josie, Dafne: Thank you both for your comments in regards to Madaline’s question. I was wondering when my readers were going to say something to me. Believe me, it is not a question I have not given thought to. And I’m sure you are wondering what my answer is. It is not an easy question to answer.

On one level, it was a resounding “Yes!” But after the initial moment of excitement, one has to look at all sides, and ask lots of questions. What anomalies might occur? What is best for all in the long term? (Believe me, sometimes I wonder if all should include whites because many whites certainly do not want to include otws when they consider the betterment of their country) The Democrats had their landslide, and how well did they do with it? I’m not saying the Dems aren’t doing a good job…but all sides must be looked at. Things we get too cheaply we esteem too lightly. Ah…but before you get nervous…A landslide is not necessary, as you said Dafne, but a victory is definitely needed. No question.

Readers: That being said, the Republicans are not dumb. But I’m not stupid either, and neither are you. We need to stay strong in be in the majority especially where our State Governors are concerned. In regards to California, why do you think Meg Whitman is spending millions of her own personal money to run her campaign so that she can win Governorship? Control.

Yes, but the key question is, “Control of what?”  The Governor in each state appoints a key person in a very important position. And that position is the secretary of the state’s voting administration. I’m not sure of the exact title, but that person has control of the entire voting process.  So what does that mean? It means they have control over the amount of time that a person has to vote, making it difficult for otws to get to the polls. It means that this person has control of the voting machines – they want to rig them? Simple: They can. They can rig the machines so that anyone who votes for a Democrat it automatically changes to a Republican vote. And no one will ever know. It’s why Gore lost the presidency.

Do you get my drift?  Do you see why the Republicans are coming out strong? Do you see why it is so important that we keep the majority, and the Democrats win this November especially when it comes to Sate Governors? There is no way that Obama will win his second term if the majority of our state Governors are not Democrats. lf the Republicans have control over the voting process they have control over who becomes President. The Republicans will steal the presidential election again…or at least try to. :)

I say, “We need to nip it in the bud now”...this November. Are you with me? Support your Democratic candidates for Governor and ensure that they win.

Perhaps if Anonz were around he could chime in and give us his two on the subject. I’m sure he would have a lot more to say about controlling the vote. Anyone else want to chime in on what they know – give it a go. Ooh…I just realized it’s Friday – Start flapping your lips – Blog me.

Now it’s time for me to go…

Peace out.

Lastly, greed over a great story is surfacing from my “loyal”(?) readers.

I just got through watching Colbert live in Congress. Did you see? I tried to get it up and post Colbert’s Live testimony, but I was too entrenched in watching it to get it together.

Comedy Central host Stephen Colbert is testifying before Congress today about immigration during a hearing called “Protecting America’s Harvest.”

Colbert is appearing with United Farm Workers (UFW) President Arturo S. Rodriguez before the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, Refugees, Border Security, and International Law. In August, the comedian spent a day working at a corn and vegetable farm in New York state after Rodriguez appeared on his show to discuss UFW’s “Take Our Jobs” campaign.

The effort was intended to debunk the theory that undocumented immigrants are taking jobs away from American citizens and highlight the fact the nation’s food supply is dependent on these farm workers.

Colbert’s testimony has already happened, as I mentioned above, but you can still watch the live hearing:

Colbert took a day off work and worked in the fields as a farm laborer: Check out how he did:

Go Gaga

As in “Lady Gaga”. I didn’t quite get her “meat dress”, but I give Gaga kudos when it comes to her support to repeal “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”.

Lady Gaga fights `don’t ask, don’t tell’ in Maine

PORTLAND, Maine — Lady Gaga visited the state Monday on the eve of a key Senate vote to urge its two U.S. senators to help repeal the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy on gays.

More than 2,000 people attended a rally at Deering Oaks Park, where the Grammy Award-winning singer stood alongside Air Force, Army and Marine veterans who were discharged because of the policy, which prohibits service members from revealing if they’re gay and recruiters from asking about people’s sexual orientations.

Lady Gaga railed against what she called the injustice of having goodhearted gay soldiers booted from military service while straight soldiers who harbor hatred toward gays are allowed to fight for their country. She suggested a new policy should target straight soldiers who are “uncomfortable” with gay soldiers in their midst.

“Our new law is called ‘If you don’t like it, go home!’” she said.

The rally was organized by Washington-based Servicemembers Legal Defense Network. The organization is trying to pressure Republican Sens. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins of Maine to vote to allow a repeal of the “don’t ask” policy, put in place in 1993 by former President Bill Clinton.

The House has approved a defense authorization bill that includes a repeal of the “don’t ask” policy. In the Senate, Democrats need 60 votes on Tuesday to cut off debate and proceed to the bill, again putting Snowe and Collins in the role of casting what could be deciding votes.

Collins, who voted for a provision to repeal the “don’t ask” policy in the Armed Services Committee in May, said she favors changing the policy but disagrees with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s decision to limit debate on the defense bill and to reject Republican amendments.

Snowe has not decided how she’ll vote on Tuesday, a spokesman said Monday.

Speakers at Monday’s rally said they wanted to bring their fight to Snowe’s and Collins’ backyard. Mike Hall, a former Air Force major who was discharged after his superiors found out he’s gay, said he was proud when Collins voted in committee to repeal the policy.

“Now it’s time for her to do so again,” he said.

Lady Gaga, famous for such hits as “Bad Romance,” “Paparazzi” and “Poker Face,” skipped her trademark outlandish outfits in favor of a black suit and a pair of glasses.

At last week’s Video Music Awards ceremony, where she won eight awards, she was escorted by ex-servicemen who were discharged or left the military as the result of the “don’t ask” policy. She recently called on Reid to repeal the policy during an interview with talk show host Ellen DeGeneres.

Reid’s campaign and Lady Gaga traded talking points on Twitter afterward, and Reid told the singer repealing the measure was the right thing to do.

Readers: Blog me. That’s it.

Well I’m delighted that there was quite a response to my write yesterday because as I reread it last night I thought, “Michelle, you were all over the place.” I’m quite sure I didn’t articulate myself quite like I had imagined and thought I did, but it seems that those that could write in got my drift. So I am pleased. Speaking of…

Steve: Thanks for the kudos. In light of the above paragraph, stating that my write was the best commentary you have read on my blog in 2 years, threw me. Although I am not sure what I said that hasn’t been said on my blog before, and most likely better said by others and not by moi, whatever words written that opened your eyes this time, I’m glad they were opened.  Perhaps Kelly is reading and will give you a second chance.

Ahou: I agree with you 100% that women shouldn’t support the men in Iran when they treat their women as second class, less than animals, and keep them as sexual slaves.

When Madaline, was in Iran she made a deal with some of the men that she would help them. The caveat was only if they would help fight for the women to give them equal rights. If not, she would not assist them. Why would she? Helping the men, when they had no interest in helping change the lives of the women was pointless. And why would any woman fight to help the men, if the men were not going to fight for her rights, and she would retain the same level of life that she had lived before. Women in Iran do not have lives they desire, they exist to please the men…to be sexual slaves. And that is not right.

You stated that the men in the Middle East feel that white men have made their lives “uncomfortable”. Interesting perspective – not your viewpoint but the fact that men would feel that way. I think white men have made their lives easier – easier to abuse their women and treat them like animals.

Let me explain. When I ranted about white men yesterday, I was not implying that white men are the sole reason for all of the atrocities in the world, but they are certainly a strong influence.  That being said, Middles East men are not saints – far from it. But if white men refused to do business in the Middle East, refused to purchase oil from the Middle East unless the men treated women as equals, gave them equal status and rights, they could be a positive influence. Instead they show that they condone the treatment of women in the Middle East by doing business with the men in the Middle East. Our purchase of oil supports the plight of women – it’s as simple as that. So your men feel “uncomfortable” – Oh Boo hoo. I have no sympathy for them.

If white men (not all) could treat women as Middle Eastern men do,  I believe they would.

Mary: Well said. We have no idea what is it like to live in the skin of an otw, what goes through their body and their mind on a daily basis. It takes a huge amount of compassion to even begin to understand, and the care to even want to. Sadly, not enough people care to.

Amita: In light of my above comment to Ahou, I too hope Obama gets America to head towards an oil free dependence.

Jerry: Happy that you are another white man who sees it that way too.

Aetos: Interesting observation. “Sore Loser”. You pegged that one. The little dick is just a tad pissy that the big dick is in control. And the little dick is doing anything he can to put the big dick down. Sounds so infantile but some men just can’t get out of that stage of life.

Helen: Again well said. To admit it would mean they would have to change.

Reese: Oh how I would love it if white men went on strike. Please. Yes I would be down on my knees but not asking you to come back. No, I would be down on my knees giving thanks to the Gods for showing me the difference between the good ones and the bad ones – bring it on. I’ll line up the girlz for target practice.

Hey Ruth: I hope that you had a nice trip back here. Thanks for the post. Unbelievable. It is okay for men to get the high hard one when they want and need it, but oh no…don’t tell women how they can improve their sex lives. I can hear the men thinking: “We want our women to have sex with us but we don’t want them feeling too good, too horny – They may think I’m not enough and get some on the side ( like I do).”

I’ll reiterate Ruth’s words as they are worth repeating so close to the midterms: “Get out there and vote someone else into a political office besides a white male.”

Thanks, Vicki, Iris and Nancy: All good stuff worth reading.

Zen Lill: Aha! Clark is loving you.

Readers: Robert Posted a video the other day of Bill Maher, and in that video Maher mentioned how we’ve sort of made the BP oil slick disappear – like,  where did all of the oil go? We don’t hear much about it anymore, not to mention the affects of the oil. It has been brushed under the rug. Well this is what I found under the rug: Here’s a river of floating dead fish. This is horrible.

Plaquemines Parish officials have asked state wildlife officials to investigate what they said is a massive fish kill at Bayou Chaland on the west side of the Mississippi River late Friday.

Photographs the parish distributed of the area shows an enormous amount of dead fish floating atop the water.

The fish kill was reported to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries and the cause has not yet been determined, the parish said. The fish were found in an area that has been impacted by the oil from the BP oil spill, the parish said.

The dead fish include pogies, redfish, drum, crabs, shrimp and freshwater eel, the parish said.

Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser said he has asked Wildlife & Fisheries for a quick determination of the cause. The parish has also requested testing by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

“We can’t continue to see these fish kills,” Nungesser said in a news release. “We need some additional tests to find out why these fish are dying in large numbers. If it is low oxygen, we need to identify the cause.”

A recent fish kill in nearby St. Bernard Parish was attributed to low oxygen levels in the water.

Okay so it hasn’t been “determined” how these fish have died, but it is pretty clear to me it is because of the BP spill.

I have been flapping my lips all morning. What do you have to say? Blog me.

Peace out…

And Lastly, greed over a great story is surfacing from my “loyal”(?) readers. With all this back and forth about who owns what, that appears on my blog, let me reiterate that all material posted on my blog becomes the sole property of my blog. If you want to reserve any proprietary rights don’t post it to my blog. I will prominently display this caveat on my blog from now on to remind those who may have forgotten this notice.

This ‘N That Chitchat

Good Morning.

Keith: I haven’t had much time to post comments lately. And quite frankly, I didn’t feel like getting into responding to your comment at the time. But today I feel like it. First of all Happy Belated Birthday!

Secondly, I can’t imagine having a father that is so “Beck related” as you pointed out. But I can see that his behavior and attitude hasn’t had an affect on you choosing which ground to stand on and having a mind of your own, expressing your opinions. Good for you. It’s nice to see that a young man can make his own choices and not feel that he has to follow in his father’s footsteps. So many young men do. It gives me HOPE because your generation is the future.  I’m delighted when any person, young or old, decides to think for him or her self. And I will add I’m delighted that you “switched” too.

Thirdly, yes, the people (me included) who write in are “hard” on white males, and rightfully so. It’s not to say that there aren’t any good white men out there, there are. But the good white men have enough people tooting their horn. It’s easy to bring the good to light. Believe me, society gives white men a break over and over again.

But the atrocities that white men commit, and the negative influence that they have on the rest of the world is enormous and needs to be addressed too. So are we being “hard” on the white men or just telling it how it is? I think we’re just telling it how it is and sometimes the truth can be “hard” to take because the truth is pretty sickening.

But I don’t feel sorry for white men – they (some) certainly like to dish it out; so they better be able to take it too. So yeah we’re “hard” on white men, but if you want to talk about “hard”, look who’s standing on the other side of what they are dishing out: otws, women, animals, the environment. White men have it easy compared to the rest, and they know it.

So I think we need to be “hard” on white men. The only way that change is going to happen is if we bring it to light and talk about it over and over and over again until it ends. Especially because our society, our media, likes to tiptoe around it, and brush it under the table as quickly as possible. Here on my blog, we don’t tiptoe. We walk loudly and with purpose, and we pick up the crumbs, throw them back on the table, examine them and expose them.  And I like it that way.

I’m sick and tired of racism and sexism hiding behind the form of religion and other lame excuses. Just say it. Maybe if they did…if they just put it on the table: “I am better than you because I am white.” Maybe then they could see the insane ridiculousness of it all and get over it. What a relief to finally tell their true feelings and get if off their chest.

Imagine…one man shouting those words “I am better than you because I am white!”. And other men following suit…and then….big bursts of laugher in the insane ridiculousness of it all. A sigh of relief, and then an a moment of clarity…that that is all it really is – no more than just the color of one’s skin.

I laugh myself as I envision it. Too bad it’s just a vision.

Because white men will never be able to say that.  Because then they would see, they would have to fess up and admit, how insane and ridiculous it is to think that one is better solely because of the color of one’s skin. And they would have to look at how their insane and ridiculous thoughts and actions have affected our world in so many ways…and they would have to be accountable.

Do I hate men, as some have accused me here? No, I just want them to be accountable and responsible for their actions and lack thereof. Talk the truth, instead of hiding behind lies and excuses. Treat all people equally. Care about others….etc.

Sincerity is barely a whisper, in a world where the loud voice of hypocrisy has become a way of life, and I’d like that to change.

Good luck in the Marines.

Abeille: Hello. I am not familiar with the fragrance “Gorgeous”, but I like the name. In regards to my “show”, happy that you liked what you saw. That show had its finale a bit ago, but who knows, another opening night may be in the cards. :)

Robert: Thanks for posting the video. That was a good one. I would never had seen it had you not.

Readers: Comments? Rants? Jokes? Blog me.

PeaCE OuT…
