The Reality of "Occupy"

A Soliders Change of View

It's All Human Nature

Sitting back I glance at the television, 40+ inches of HD details makes the images so clear.....so there's no avoiding the vile things airing on networks ranging from ESPN to CNN. The faces of Power, Good, Bad and the Ugly are everywhere.

I observe things. I'm a people watcher 24/7. Those I deal with personally and those I see from a distance. There is a consistency of how power and/or the attempts to gain power effect people. Some folk gain power through their infectious spirit. They stand for something and the force of their will attracts those of a like mind. This can result in the formation of local tribes, cults, religions, government,etc....There does come a point where a leader or a group hit that power ceiling. The ceiling is the point where power is manageable yet still within the checks and balances of the people below. Unfortunately, few people are satisfied with the ceiling. They crash through it showering sharp glass and debris on the people they are supposed to be working with and for.

Hit the jump for a social review of the hunger for power...

Bank of America Gets Pad Locked After Homeowner Forecloses On It

The human trait of complacency can always be counted on to make a simple matter bigger and worse then it needed to be. In this matter the banks error costs it dearly in a wonderful case of "sweet justice".

Damn!!! The GOP Don't Like Ladies It Seems

 
This is a list of the kind of plans they are working on for the fairer sex. From MoveOn.org:
Top 10 Shocking Attacks from the GOP War on Women

1) Republicans not only want to reduce women's access to abortion care, they're actually trying to redefine rape. After a major backlash, they promised to stop. But they haven't.
2) A state legislator in Georgia wants to change the legal term for victims of rape, stalking, and domestic violence to "accuser." But victims of other less gendered crimes, like burglary, would remain "victims."
3) In South Dakota, Republicans proposed a bill that could make it legal to murder a doctor who provides abortion care. (Yep, for real.)
4) Republicans want to cut nearly a billion dollars of food and other aid to low-income pregnant women, mothers, babies, and kids.
5) In Congress, Republicans have proposed a bill that would let hospitals allow a woman to die rather than perform an abortion necessary to save her life.
6) Maryland Republicans ended all county money for a low-income kids' preschool program. Why? No need, they said. Women should really be home with the kids, not out working.
7) And at the federal level, Republicans want to cut that same program, Head Start, by $1 billion. That means over 200,000 kids could lose their spots in preschool.
8.) Two-thirds of the elderly poor are women, and Republicans are taking aim at them too. A spending bill would cut funding for employment services, meals, and housing for senior citizens.
9) Congress voted yesterday on a Republican amendment to cut all federal funding from Planned Parenthood health centers, one of the most trusted providers of basic health care and family planning in our country.
10) And if that wasn't enough, Republicans are pushing to eliminate all funds for the only federal family planning program. (For humans. But Republican Dan Burton has a bill to provide contraception for wild horses. You can't make this stuff up).

Keith Oberman Special Comment on Tax Extension

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

I'm really at a loss for the situation at hand but then again I don't have faith in government at all these days any way....

Such an Interesting Sense of Time and Expectations

Truth. Apparently the view of time distorts when a Black man starts running things.

Early Warning From Minister Louis Farrakhan for Haitian Presidential Hopeful Wyclef Jean

FAIL!!!!! SENATE EDITION

In all honesty the "offending image" was no where near porn by any means and more important to me it just strengthens my lack of faith in any government. My dad and I both watch these House gathering and cant figure out what their real purpose is.

Obama Vs. The GOP

Just putting up a full link for those that haven't seen it.

Lou looking for an Office Seat?.......Damn

Truthfully I never hated Lou but in recent yrs his views have touched a few nerves with me. And it wasn't an unusual thing for me to wonder what he would do if in office.We may get to find out.

PHOENIX (Reuters) – A week after abruptly quitting his longtime job as a CNN television news host and commentator, Lou Dobbs said on Thursday he is considering career options including possible runs for the White House or U.S. Senate.

"Right now I feel exhilaration at the wide range of choices before me as to what I do next," Dobbs, whose outspoken views on immigration and other topics often angered liberals, told Reuters in a telephone interview from New York on Thursday.

Dobbs, 64, a veteran CNN anchor who had become one of the most divisive figures in U.S. broadcast journalism, announced last Wednesday he was leaving CNN after spending the better part of 30 years at the 24-hour cable news network.

Respect My Authority!!!!!!

This is the attitude I hope President starts laying down on people because some folk are getting WAAAAAAAY to comfy with blatantly disrespecting the man. You know as a black man I deal with a lot but you'd be hard pressed to find a person that would walk up to me and disrespect me to my face. That's just how we are. There are lines you don't cross. With that in mind, the President can't simple slap the shit out of someone sooooo that allow for a lot of "habitual line stepping" (Thanks Charlie Murphy). Last night's Health Care speech was good but should it really be that hard to make sure the citizens of the "most powerful nation on earth" have adequate medical care? Smh, in any case, here is a sample my Super friend Evita's International take on things. She expresses this much better then me....

American's character....jester?!
I sit at my laptop with the lust to continue my memoir, yet the need to respond to President Obama's speech. Being in Japan, MSNBC is typically my late informant on those things political, and today was no different.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/32766830#32766830

The above link is Obama's speech on healthcare.

For fifty-one minutes I watched the most transparent split in legislation, occupy one room, and do everything from give repeat standing ovations, to bolt demeaning epithets to the President.....as he works to make sure every American is covered under health insurance.

This is why, of the character I have seen, I deem America as a jester. We look like clowns. And being about as far away from the United States as humanly possible, it's legitimized and magnified when you are on the outside looking in. You can tell I'm pissed because my vocabulary comes out.

Where are the answers??

With all the things that America forces me to deal with. It has yet to match that which faces the young and oppressed in Iran. It seems disingenuous to be here safe and sound, trying to express support for the political war zone across the seas. My heart goes out to against brutality where ever is surfaces. I hope that Justice wins the day....

........FucC the GOP.

Smh....Taxes are a Scam

So I get home, checC my mail and realize I've received something from the State Gov. of NY Audit Dept. Apparently these bastard say I owe my state $27.98 from the fiscal years of 2005 and 2006. The government can't handle its money so it's fucCin' with mine.......Bastards.
