He is not a WASP. if anything he is a WASM. He has been a Morman all his life.

Help make #IheardDonaldTrump happen on Twitter! I know you guys have the scoop. And if you don't just make it up like he does. I'm sure your people are looking into it.

I saw this yesterday and was speechless. There is nothing I can say that most rational people are not already thinking.

Stupid.

Oh please if the Tea Party had not been waving flags about taking back "our country" waving signs calling our President every name they can think of and trying to convince people that there is some sort of conspiracy by "the left" to undermind America leaving us all broke and all "the right" living in FEMA camps if they survive the "death panels" no one would have even given you a side glance. I'm not saying all Tea Partiers are bad. I think some truly have sincere intentions and want to make the country a better place. But the one's that are promoted, the ones that are the loudest, are the ones that strike fear. And I'm not talking just about people in the crowd. I'm talking abou the leaders clinging to 2nd Amendment solutions for not getting their way. Think about that Mr. Tea Party leader. Maybe the discourse wouldn't be so heated if you didn't set it in motion. Maybe you need to step up and tell your peers to dial it the fuck down.

Myth, I had to come find you just to say how disgusted I am with this whole Palin thing. I know you know. The lack of responsibility from this woman makes me ill, and her blind supporters make me fearful. I can't keep quiet anymore. I don't care if there is no direct connection between the shooting and her map, in the wake of this tragic assassination attempt against one of her "targets" she was called out to discuss the violent rhetoric that she is known to insight. I guess she didn't hear that part. Because it all about her and her hurt feelers. STFU.

What the hell was that bullshit "it's all about me" 8 minute extended remix that she released today? Can't she just man up and say "in retrospect the crosshairs were a bad idea, but that's how I roll. I didn't mean anything by it and I'll be more careful in the future because the people of this country I love are that important to me." NO. Her trifflin' ass comes out trying to be the victim, again. Not this time. I want her self service manipulating ass to get the hell of the stage.

BTW, do you (or anyone else) know how someone who lost her race for VP, quit her job as Governor and has not committed to running for anything in the future can collect money as a PAC? Cuz I'll set up a website right now. The PJamma PAC. Donate to me.

I hope all is well with you and the rest of the JJP fam.

Yeah, I'm not giving in to the tears. Chris can go somewhere and sit down.

I've been working my butt off in between taking some long vacations (to be able to pay for my vacations). And I needed to step away from the site for a while because things were getting way too negative and there were way too many trolls. But I'm back!

Missed you sweetie!

I think the Secret Service needs the Twitter handle "You're_Fucked" to respond to these fools and let them know they should start reflecting on just how good they had it in the good ole' USA because it's about to get real ugly for them in a minute.

I'm all for black people having different opinions up and down the political spectrum. I may not agree all the time but everyone has the right to their opinion.

That said, how in the hell can you be a young collage educated black male, a self described artist, deep thinker and hip hop aficionado, and blow up twitter last night with threats against Obama?

I guess he will have time to figure it out because the FBI coming after his bat shit crazy ass....

His name is Jay Martin and he has spent the evening making sure everyone on Twitter knows he is "dead fucking serious" about wishing death upon Barack Obama.

Submarines have been in use since at least 1864 when they were used in combat during the Cival War.

5. Jack and Claire don't meet at the lawyer's office? Wouldn't she get a phone call from Christian's lawyer?

Well she wasn't home. I assume the attorney would have a number for her in Australia and she is in LA.

I can't even get my head around BIB, Young Jacob the two moms and the burning village. In 23 AD. With Allison Janney. Awesome.

Try not to hurt yourself as you roll your eyes a full 360 degrees.

From Salon.com:

They're young, they're broke, and they pay for organic salmon with government subsidies. Got a problem with that?

In the John Waters-esque sector of northwest Baltimore -- equal parts kitschy, sketchy, artsy and weird -- Gerry Mak and Sarah Magida sauntered through a small ethnic market stocked with Japanese eggplant, mint chutney and fresh turmeric. After gathering ingredients for that evening's dinner, they walked to the cash register and awaited their moments of truth.

"I have $80 bucks left!" Magida said. "I'm so happy!"

"I have $12," Mak said with a frown.

The two friends weren't tabulating the cash in their wallets but what remained of the monthly allotment on their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program debit cards, the official new term for what are still known colloquially as food stamps.

Article continued here: Hipsters on Food Stamps

My favorite quote:

"I'm sort of a foodie, and I'm not going to do the 'living off ramen' thing," he said, fondly remembering a recent meal he'd prepared of roasted rabbit with butter, tarragon and sweet potatoes. "I used to think that you could only get processed food and government cheese on food stamps, but it's great that you can get anything."

Granted everyone should have access to fresh produce, grains, beans and dairy. And maybe these people are just making wise choices on how to use their food stamps, but come on. I do not want my tax money going to Chet and Buffy so they can buy stilton and comb honey for their Caprica viewing parties because they can't find a "creative" job with their liberal arts degrees.

She has been profiled in Vanity Fair, New York Magazine, New York Times Magazine, Vogue, The WSJ Magazine, tons of lifestyle websites. Everyone knew who she was day one and the MSM loves her.

I think she was gently pushed out the door. She is too high profile for what should be a background support role. I have no doubts she will pick up where she left off in the corporate world and have tremendous success.

I don't know. Remember the looting after the Northridge quake? I wouldn't be surprised if reporters went there quickly.

But she didn't need to make that statement, like that, a few hours after this devastation happened.

Re: Senator Harry Reid’s ‘ Negro’ Problem

pjamma — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 17:48:46 -0000

Wouldn't black people using the word to address each other be a behavior?
You asked if black people should stop using that word in order to be
addressed with respect, correct?

Re: Senator Harry Reid’s ‘ Negro’ Problem

pjamma — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 18:23:55 -0000

My comment was about black people communicating in day to day live conversation, which is why I said "outside of rap" and "not TV". The word is used for dramatic effect in some forms of entertainment but that does not mean all black people are using it in real life.

You can not use what is in the media as a basis for how all black people behave.

Re: Senator Harry Reid’s ‘ Negro’ Problem

pjamma — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 16:44:57 -0000

Well, again I never hear the term so while it may be used by people on the streets of Chicago, which is a small sample, it is not heard everywhere and should not be a reason for black people not to be addressed respectfully.

Re: Senator Harry Reid’s ‘ Negro’ Problem

pjamma — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 13:54:11 -0000

No black folk I know use the term as endearment or otherwise.

Outside of rap music, do you encounter the term on a daily basis? Weekly? Have you heard "them" say it in a live conversation (not on TV) with your own ears in the last year? Or are you just trying to bring up an old argument in an attempt to be relevant and/or antagonistic?

Re: This Week In Blackness Is Back. Target: Michael Steele

pjamma — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 10:53:18 -0000

I don't hate Michael Steele. I think he is said and dome some stupid things, but I can't hate him. I want him to succeed or at the very least get to a point where he seems to feel more comfortable in his job because right now it seems he is trying way to hard.

He may have gotten his job because he is black and it was a direct response to Obama. But, so what? How many men and woman have gotten jobs because of family, friends or simple because they are white? People are put into positions for all types of reasons and a lot of times it has nothing to do with their merits. If Michael Steele is on the receiving end of this, so be it.

Michael Steele needs to take advantage of position, find his actual voice and do what he wants to do. He will either succeed or fail, but at least he has the opportunity to do one or the other.

Again, I don't agree with a lot of his actions, and shake my head a lot when he speaks, but I support him reaching the position he is in and wish him the best.
