The mormon church has decided to support Gay Rights legislation because it is “the right thing to do.” This after being the main catalyst for the passing of Prop 8 in california and Prop 1 in maine that overturned Same Couple Marriage. The mormon front group, the National Organization for Marriage/NOM has been on the forefront of financing propositions that oppose Same Couple Marriage. And with each passage, the magnifying glass under which the mormon church is being dissected, gets clearer and clearer. Many mormons have been critical of their church for being “too political” and bringing wide range criticism from everywhere. Their business ownership have been brought to the public’s eye and they are being boycotted. This alleged “change of heart” means NOTHING!
 
NOM/the mormons are being investigated in maine for improper campaign contributions. They claim to have done “nothing wrong” but aren’t willing to obey the law. They have either failed or REFUSED government COURT ORDERS to turn over campaign financing information. For people who claim to be “religious” their lies and bigotry is appalling. They are hiding behind the bible all the while ignoring what it really says. Forgive me but isn’t “Shalt not tell a lie” in the bible?

I admit it. I’m a NERD and proud of it! I’ve always been a NERD and I fully embrace my NERDINESS. Learning came fairly easy for me so school was never a problem for me. I certainly had classes that gave me trouble, like Calculus. But I never felt the need to cheat. I felt that if I applied myself, I would at least be able to get a “C” and have the basic knowledge of what that subject was about. And while a coupIe of “C’s” did lower my overal GPA, I am pleased at having a 3.2 GPA throughout my high school and college education. Could it have been A LOT higher? YES! Should it have been higher? YES? I guess I was born about 24 years too soon. Because in the state of North Carolina, students can BUY points that can be added to a test and raise the grade. That means a student who might have failed a test can buy enough points to raise that grade to passing. All this is being done to raise money for a cash strapped school district. This takes “buying and education” to an all new level!
 
The “point policy” for Rosewood Middle School in Goldsboro, NC, says that for $20.00, a student can apply 10 points to a test of that students choice. So a “B” can become an “A”, and an “F” can become a “C” or a “D.” I’m at a COMPLETE loss as to what kind of lesson we are teaching these kids. A lesson that says instead of studying, you can just buy ten points and keep them in reserve just in case you need them? That if “mommy and daddy” will “kick in” the student can put the book down and continue surfing Facebook or playing with their WII?

To put it bluntly, I’m sick of hearing or seeing Chris Brown. He’s a BITCH and a COWARD. And now he has the AUDACITY to complain about Rhianna going on 20/20 and talking about the night he BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF HER ! It is OBVIOUS that he still hasn’t learned a DAMN THING from this incident and still thinks the world revolves around him. It is OBVIOUS he hasn’t learned a DAMN THING from the Domestic Abuse classes he is supposed to be taking. It is OBVIOUS the so called “spiritual advise he is going to seek” isn’t helping one bit! And it is even MORE OBVIOUS that he is still an abuser. Because by saying that the “incident should stay between us“, he is using the same language and exhibiting the same behavior as an abuser.
 
Hey, I understand that people make mistakes. And I understand that everyone should be given a second chance. But that chance is only given when that person is TRULY SORRY. I have yet to see any real remorse in any interview he has done. He always looks like the “class nerd” whose lab experiment went ACCIDENTALLY wrong. Like the kid in class who had a “bad idea” and says he will never do it again. All the while, he has his fingers crossed behind his back. He sounds like Eddie Haskell from the “Leave it to Beaver show” talking to Mrs. Cleaver and telling her “what a pretty dress she has on.” Even when he is giving her praise, you always think there is “something under his sleeve! Almost every word looks like he has been standing in front of a mirror saying it over and over again. Practicing the right inflection in his voice. The right pause or eyebrow raise. All those interviews seem to happen to try and rehabilitate his reputation. And not what is should be. To take full ownership of what he has done!
 
And now he is saying what happened that night should stay between him and Rhianna. WHY? So HE won’t look bad? So he can get his “life back?” And his donation of concert proceeds to Domestic Abuse Centers seems hollow and another way to make himself look good. If he wouldn’t have put his hands on Rhianna in the first place, none of his problems would have happened. He is almost trying to make it sound like HE is the VICTIM! But it isn’t working.

I’m still shocked that Michael Jackson is dead. It doesn’t seem possible. And when I see the footage of him dancing, literally hours before he died, it seems like a bad dream. And seeing the people come out of the woodworks to try and make money either from his estate of off of him is appalling. Add to that list Joe Jackson. Yup, Michael Jackson’s father Joe, is seeking upwards of $20,000.00 from the estate for “living expenses.” His rationale is that since Katherine Jackson is getting money, he should too! I guess he is trying to get nominated for “Father of the Year” again!
 
It stands to reason that if Michael wanted his father to have some money, it would have been put in the will. IT WASN’T! So for Joe to now seek money is disgusting. Are we all to think that Michael not including his father in the will was an accident? Are we to believe that Mike forgot that he had a father? Both Michael and Janet have both said that Joe was abusive to Michael. Does Joe think Michael has forgotten that? Does any parent think that a child forgets the person who abused him?
 
Joe needs to do what millions of senior citizens do. Go collect Social Security and live off of that. He received millions of dollars off of his children. If he wasn’t smart enough to keep some of it for a “rainy day“, so be it. But he shouldn’t collect one thin dime from Michael’s estate. The money that Katherine is getting from Michael’s estate if for the care of his children.
 
The gravy train unfortunately is gone Joe. And your ticket has expired. Get a job!

After the passage of Prop 8 in california, it was fashionable to blame “blacks and hispanics” because on the whole, some of them voted for it’s passage. Long discussions were bantered back and forth about “how could ‘they’ vote to legalize discrimination.” Blogs were posting daily after the passage of Prop 8 about how to “reach out to ‘those communities.’ ” But I have yet to hear ONE WORD from ANYONE in the Lesbian or Gay communities about the “white people” who just passed Prop 1 in the state of maine!
 
The state of maine has over 1.3 million people in it according to the 2008 census. Of that 1.3 million people, 97% is white. So the passage of Prop 1 in maine was done by white people! Where are the Lesbian and Gay voices now? Where is the blaming, the gnashing of the teeth, and the name calling now? The silence is deafening!
 
As I had stated when Prop 8 passed, even if every registered black and hispanic voted for Prop 8, that was NOT the deciding factor. The vote was passed by white people! Yet the “minorities” took the brunt of the criticism for the passage. It wasn’t appreciated THEN and it still isn’t appreciated.
 
So hear this white Lesbians and Gays. You BETTER keep blacks and hispanics name OUT OF YOUR MOUTHS when it comes to Same Couple Marriage. Because while there is no excuse for BIGOTRY, DISCRIMINATION, and/or HATE, white people are the ones passing these propositions. So before you start looking into someone else’s backyard, CLEAN UP YOURS FIRST! Because RACISM is still the “biggest ism” there is. And your silence on this issue JUST PROVES IT!
 
Oh, but don’t get this SHIT twisted blacks and hispanics. That doesn’t get you off the hook ONE BIT! Because for a group of people who CONTINUE to experience discrimination, to turn around and do it to someone else is PATHETIC! You, those “minorities” who voted for Prop 8, are still BIGOTS, POOR EXCUSES FOR HUMAN BEINGS and COWARDS! And don’t YOU forget that EITHER!

If you have been paying attention to the news, you couldn’t help but hear about the teenage girl who was gang raped by upwards of 10 people while other people stood around filming this with their cellphones, laughing and cheering. Not only did these LOSERS either participate in the gang rape or watch it, but NO ONE alerted the authorities. This girl was gang raped, beaten, ROBBED, and left for dead. I’ve seen the affects of child molestation and/or rape when I worked at the Teen Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center. So I know that they NEVER get over what was done to them. And for that reason alone, EVERYONE involved should spent time in prison, INCLUDING those people who watched at did NOTHING! Having said that, and here is where you might disagree with me, the girl MUST take some of the blame for what happened to her!
 
When I first heard about this event, I was wondering what kind of ANIMAL would do something like this. What would make them think that what was happening was “cool.” The oldest person involved with this tragedy is 32yrs old and the youngest MALE is said to be 15yrs old. That these CREATURES who CAME FROM A WOMAN would stand by and watch as if this was some kind of movie, is unfathomable. I’d love to know what these SUBHUMANS are going to tell their mothers, aunts, sisters, and grandmothers, about the role they played in this event. I want to know how they would feel if it was their MAMA who was GANG RAPED, for over 2 HOURS, while people stood around watching. I wonder would this still be “cool?”
 
I’m aware of “group think.” And I know that standing apart from the crowd can be lonely. But at the end of the day, you have to look yourself in the mirror and be able to live with what you do. And if you are a religious person, you are going to have to explain your actions to your maker. And I’m sure, a few days after the fact, some of these boys wish they would have “stepped up” and did something. But that is a day late and a dollar short.

A justice of the peace in Hammond, Louisiana, has refused to sign a marriage certificate for an interracial couple. Keith Bardwell has said that he is “not a racist” because he has married Black couples “right here in my own home.” When the bride, Beth Humphrey, called to get the certificate signed, Bardwell’s wife stated that her husband “would not sign marriage licenses for interracial couples.” His concern was not about the couple themselves. The judge is concerned about the children, and how they will be treated by society. I was under the impression this issue, interracial marriage, was taken care of with the Loving vs Virginia case decided by the Supreme Court in 1967. But I guess deciding who can and can’t get married has again become a slippery slope and the slope done slipped!
 
Again is looks like someone is sitting in judgment of someone else, using racist stereotypes to justify bigotry. Bardwell has said that he “don’t want to put children in a situation they didn’t bring on themselves.” And since he is now the foremost scholar on interracial children, he doesn’t want them to suffer.” Damn, that’s awful nice of him isn’t it! Those are the same piss poor excuses that are used by people who oppose Same Couple Marriage. But you’re right black folks, the Lesbian and Gay Civil Rights struggle is not the same thing! Dumbasses!
 
Did Bardwell forget that our president is the product of an interracial marriage? Does he not realize that no one is “pure?” And that in 2009, the number of interracial children are growing and those children are no less proud of who they are and who they come from?
 
As a Lesbian who saw the state she lives in, california, and other states, pass propositions that bars Lesbians and Gays the right to get married, I felt this was bound to happen. Because people are failing to realize that once you start considering people to be “thems” or “others“, if shouldn’t be a surprise when someone else does that EXACT same thing to you.
 
This will be an interesting test to see just how trifling Black people really are. Are far to many Black folks just bigots or are they racists too? And we will also see how far we have come as a country. Because we already know that people ARE NOT FREE to marry who they want to marry. We will see if race is “no longer and issue” since Obama was elected!

 
This should be good!

A known rapist who has hidden with the tacit approval of many of the top notch actors, actresses, and directors in Hollywood, was finally arrested on an outstanding warrant that was issued more than 30 years ago. Roman Polanski, whose wife, Sharon Tate, was murdered by the Manson gang, was arrested in Switzerland after getting off of the plane to accept a Lifetime Achievement Award. That he was able to run from the long arms of the law for 30 years, and do so freely, is appalling. What is even worse, is that some people think he should be set free!
 
In 1978, Roman was arrested and PLEAD GUILTY TO drugging and raping a 13yr old girl. But he fled to Europe, France to be specific, before he could ever spend a night in prison. He was able to travel all over Europe without any problems. He worked with some of the most famous European AND American actors, actresses, and directors, all of whom knew what he had done. But to them, RAPE must not be such a bad thing. Because these poor excuses for human beings didn’t bat an eye about working for or with him. And now that he has been arrested, these same people want him freed.
 
On the View, hostess Whoopi Goldberg, who I HAD much respect for, stated that it “wasn’t rape-rape.” HUH? He was 37 years old, she was 13, he plied he with drugs and alcohol, and then ANALLY and ORALLY PENETRATED HER! And he NEVER spent one day in prison for that crime! I’d like to think that in hindsight, Ms. Goldberg has come to a different decision. But I always go with the first thing that comes out of someone’s mouth. Because that is usually how they really feel!

Over the weekend, two of sports greatest athletes were taken to task for their behavior. One, Serena Williams, was penalized twice at the end of a match for yelling at a lines woman for calling a foot fault. The other, Michael Jordan, used his forum at the Hall of Fame ceremony to “get back” at everyone who ever slighted him. While both of them may have acted badly, depending on how you look at it, it only Serena Williams that sports columnist Mike Whitlock chose to chastise. And usually I agree with things that “Whit” has to say. But on this one, you got it wrong Whit!
 
I’m going to start by saying this. I’m really not a Jordan fan, PERIOD! And while I give him much props for his accomplishments, how can you not, I never “pulled his jock.” I was a Magic Johnson fan. So his first three championships I didn’t really care about. I was pulling for the Lakers and the Suns for two of those rings. I didn’t even watch the final against the Blazers. The second three championships, I DID pull for the Bulls. But that wasn’t because of Mike. It was because of my man, DENNIS RODMAN!!! Yeah, me and “D-Rod” are riding for life. All except when he married Carmen Electra. What The Hell was that about D??? But I digress. The persona that he allowed to be scripted about himself wasn’t real. And I could tell it wasn’t real. He just seemed like a fake and a phony to me. And when the chips began to come out, sexual relations with groupies, gambling issues, and allegedly getting coaches fired – Doug Collins, and teammates cut, Craig Hodges, it just confirmed what I had always felt. That the whole “Air Jordan thing” was a farce. I only came to “like Mike” when he played with the Bullets. Yeah I called them the Bullets and not the Wizards because they are. The Bullets!!! And here’s why I began to “like Mike.”
 
The BULLETS were playing against the Chicago Bulls in D.C. and the “young guns” were talking mad trash to Mike including Ron Mercer. They went at him the WHOLE GAME. And it was back and forth. And the one play that I think epitomizes Jordan was this. As Mercer took the ball to the hoop, Mike pinned it against the glass, caught it, and turned around to Ron and told him “don’t talk trash.” That was the competitive fire that made Mike the COMPETITOR that he is! But his Hall of Fame speech, let the “REAL JORDAN” come back out!

For any parent who has had a child abducted and have never found out what happened to them, where they are, or if they are still alive, the return of Jaycee Dugard might have given them some hope. Hope that someday their loved one will come back home safe and sound. And the story has made those people who know or knew the Dugard family happy for her return and those who know or knew her abductors, Phillip Garrido and his wife, Nancy, shocked thinking about what has happened. But for one IDIOT, this tragedy is fodder for him to joke about in his SPORTS COLUMN!
 

 
The IDIOT, sports columnist mark whicker, lower caps on purpose to show my CONTEMPT, of the Orange County Register, decided to write an article recounting all of the “sports moments” that Jaycee missed while being held captive, repeatedly raped, giving birth to two children, and being abused. And what were some of those things whicker decided Jaycee just “had to know?” Let’s start with “Beach Towel Night!” Or how about not having “high fived” anyone for a long time! Or “spiked a volleyball!” He even joked that “at least penitentiary prisoners get an hour of TV a day!” The column, the writer, and the paper were IMMEDIATELY taken to task for what they had allowed to be printed in their paper. At the bottom of this post the “sports moments” whicker felt Jaycee missed and CERTAINLY NEEDED TO KNOW! And to top all of this off, he ended the column by saying “Congratulations, Jaycee. You ‘left the yard.’ ”
 
Initially, whicker, dismissed the complaints and added that “bloggers were making a bigger deal out of this than was needed.” It was those words that sent this story into the mainstream where it was published and republishes, and aired and re-aired on the news ad nauseum. It was at that point, the the writer and the newspaper apologized for their poor decision to allow the article to go to print. And that apology was piss poor to say the least. He seemed more concerned about having “offended readers and advertisers.” Very little was said about why it was done, and WITHOUT a DIRECT APOLOGY to Jaycee and her family. But is whicker the only one at fault?
 
At any newspaper, whether high school, college, local, or national, there are editors who make the final decision as to whether an article should be printed. And it seems like at the Register, EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM must have fallen asleep at the wheel because NO ONE saw anything wrong with this article. What the hell could they have been thinking?
