Re: Kanye West at the VMAs – Makin’ Black People Look Bad

The thing is, I KNEW some media outlet was going to ask his opinion on Kanye. I speculated the question would be asked during a very serious discussion on healthcare.

I just don't know why the media feels he should comment all things that involve Black folks. I mean why would you ask the POTUS his opinion on what happened at a video awards show? The answer, is to get generate controversy. I am still sore at Lynn Sweet for her left-field question on the Gates incident.

Yeah, a doctor who's been sued 3x and fell for a scam to become a British Lord.

They had to put him up there to try and rebut how bad a job Bobby Jindal did last time, standing in as the Rethug rep, looking like Mr. Rodgers in that sweater at the fireside chat.

Um, so the Rebublican response is being delivered by a doctor? So of course they must be right. Afterall, a doctor gives them credibility. GTFOH.

I'm mad that one of the networks had "heart surgeon" vs "Representative Idiot" under the scroll for a few minutes.

So this must mean the

Thanks. I could not remember his name.

I think I will just call him "douche bag".

I can't think of his name right now, but dude was caught texting.

Now, I am not going to lie and say don't text on the sly during meetings. But hey, I am not in meetings with the POTUS that are being broadcast worldwide either.

WTH?

Did someone just shout "liar"? Please tell me this is some knucklehead that got in and is not a member of Congress.

No respect, no respect.

Thanks. I know I need to settle down. I am going to try and get some sleep soon. Hopefully, this is all just a really bad dream and all will be fine in the morning.

Good Night All.

Honey, we know it's hard to sit still when an MJ tune is on, but you take care and get yourself healed.

I am supposed to be taking it easy over here by letting my shoulder heal from surgery.
NOT!

I up her trying to do the dances from the Thriller video that is on.

Oh well, I will have to deal with busted stitches.

One of my favorite MJ songs, Human Nature is on the radio right now.

Just raw. I guess I should try and eat. I wish my MJ paraphernalia was not stored somewhere. I am going to have go digging for a button or something to wear tomorrow.

Honey, I know!

Michael Jackson music was the soundtrack of my childhood. As a matter of fact, I only recently started to use the I-pod I was given almost a year ago (technically challenged) I had my husband load all of his stuff, especaill from the 80's and 90's.

I called my brother a little while ago to remind of when our parents bought he and our little brother the "Thriller" jacket. My brother took a black marker and drew little scriggly line all on his forehead! He was trying to mimic that baby hair/curl thing MJ had. My hubby also got in trouble when he took razors to his head to get the "baby hair" look. You know how important he is when both you and your Mother are crying.

I just feel empty. I am going to stay on the video channels for now.

RIP Mike.

Yes, Honey01, I saw him. It was a poignant moment. Blessing to Mr. Bush and Babs.

I totally get it about your grandparents. I teared up too.

Right after that segment, I called my dad. He and mom had been married for sixty years. He's lost without her too.

He tells me every week, he thought he'd never miss anyone as much as my mom. She died 3 years ago I don't think you can ever put a time on grief and loss.

Re: Thursday Evening Open Thread

Honey01 — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 19:37:32 -0000

Yeah, he definitely had tears. I think he was close to breaking down. I only saw the clip on David Schuster's show.

Honey01

I know exactly what you mean about your husband's grandfather never being the same. I saw it with my own Mom after my Dad died. She was still crying for him 13 years afterwards. She was LOST without him. Just broke my heart. I love them both!

I felt bad for Bush Sr also I did not have a good view of the tv but I thought he was tearing up a bit.

I hope she comes thru

Did anybody see George Bush's (Bush One) press conference providing an update on the health of Laura Bush today?

He was very emotional. It even made me cry. It always gets to me when seniors who have been together for decades lose their partners, or are at the point when they realize their time is near.
When my husband's grandmother died, his grandfather was never the same. They had been together for almost seventy years. I cried quite a bit when watching him.

Re: Johnson Publishing Company Takes a Hit During These Difficult Economic Times

Honey01 — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 18:42:18 -0000

I would definitely feel bad if these two iconic publications were to go away. Even more so as a Chicagoan with Johnson Publishing is headquarted here.

I have to admit, I don't purchase either of these publications (except for the cover with Obama). I rarely even skim Ebony while I am in Borders reading for free. My mother and stepfather actually still have a subscription of Jet.

I think they need to modernize their layout and content. The graphics of the covers look indentical to the covers they produced in the 80's..

Honestly, I think she is a little senile (or just plain crazy). She is always saying some off the wall crap.
Hell, half the time I can barely understand her.

Yes, you held it down. Your points were very salient and helped to underscore (for the clueless) why this cartoon is so offensive. More importantly, you translated the mindset behind the cartoon to everyday situations.

I think Schuster was pretty impressed.
