Hypocrisy AKA The Republicans

I haven’t been able to bring myself to watch the RNC, my stomach is weak and I can’t handle all the bullshit and hypocrisy. The people in this party are unbelievable and talk out of both sides of their neck! don’t believe me? View the video.

more about “Hypocrisy AKA The Republicans“, posted with vodpod
Hat tip to the folks at O’ Hell Nawl for posting the video first.

Also, I received an email today from someone passing along info from one of Palin’s alleged constituents in Alaska. Always the skeptic and not believing everything I read, I Googled the person named. In short, it is supposedly a letter from an educator in Alaska coming out against Palin. 

Google returned a link to this blog, theWOWatch (Women in the News. Women on the News). Whoopi Goldberg is a contributor and has posted an poignant piece regarding her thoughts on Sarah Palin. Read it HERE!

Also, another fellow blogger has pointed out some innacuracies in both “Palin’s speech and McCain’s rhetoric”. Check it out at The Mo’Kelly Report.

Do you think the Republicans are hypocritical when it comes to the media treatment/scrutiny of Palin? What about their [Republicans] stance to back off the topic of her unwed teenage daughter? How does that fit into the party of “family values”? Would their reaction be the same of a Democrat’s family had it been the same circumstances?

What are your thoughts?

Jesus Be A Fence!!

 

It was a hellava Saturday afternoon!

 

The tow truck driver had no teeth in his head and his truck had no A/C. He wore glasses the size of coke bottles and when he read the text messages his mobile phone was less than two inches away from his face. He regaled me with the story of his diabetic fiancé who couldn’t eat the Krispy Kreme donuts he offered to me and about their “rainbow” colored sunset wedding ceremony planned for Thanksgiving.

 

The 30 minute ride to the dealership was…interesting but far less exciting than my truck stalling in the middle of I-20 in Atlanta.

 

There I am exiting I-285 to I-20 W wanting to get around the slow pokes behind the 18-wheelers traveling at about 30 MPH.

 

I “punch it” (hit the gas for you short bus-ers). Initially, the FX35 performs as expected. But 30 seconds later is sputtering and bugging like Herbie the LoveBug.

 

DA HELL!!!

 

STALLED!!! In the middle of the interstate!! So focused on why my car isn’t accelerating and literally stomping the hell out of the gas pedal, I didn’t peep the cars, SUVs, or semi trucks in the rearview mirror barreling towards me. Thank God!! Jesus be a fence!!!

 

I managed to pull over to the emergency lane where I put it park and rev the engine. It is still sputtering but I am able to make it up the interstate two exits and to my mother’s house. While safe in the driveway, I place a call to the dealership and to Roadside Assistance.

 

The next four hours of my afternoon is spent on the phone with the towing company, Roadside Assistance, and the Infiniti dealership; riding in a tow truck with no A/C, the toothless blind as a bat driver in 90° Georgia weather. Needless to say, I was beyond happy to get the “loaner” car and head home for a hot bath and dinner.

 

What the hell happened with my truck? Mass Airflow Sensor failure.

 

Lessons learned? Stay thankful. Remain humble. Keep your sense of humor.

 

 

Old School Friday – The Return!

This week’s theme is Neo-Soul but I also must give a shout out to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. He turns the BIG 5.0 today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the weird guy! Regardless of his legal troubles, money woes, and just plain weirdness, the guy was/is a musical genius.

The first video is Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” followed by Anthony Hamilton’s “Coming From Where I From“.

Enjoy!!

Dell Has Lost Another Customer!!

***UPDATE***

Please do not underestimate the power of the Internet nor the tools available to the little people. Someone at Dell Corporation has seen this post. The proof is in the stats you can see in the image below. Now, what, if anything will they (Dell) do about it?

I WILL BE HEARD!! I WILL NOT BE SILENCED!!!!

The following is a letter to the entire Board of Directors at Dell Computers. I had to wait a few days to compose this letter because, believe me, I was heated!! Like many U.S. companies, Dell has outsourced its most of its customer service calls to India. I think I would be safe in going out on a limb to say this fact plays a large part in Dell’s reps being clueless in “customer care”. The language barrier is only one small hurdle you have to face when dealing with these oblivions.

Sorry, I Don’t Do Cats!!!

It’s Friday afternoon and I dip out of the office early with no real concrete plans for the weekend. I cannot begine to express just how happy I am to see this day. My moods swings this week have almost meant the death of 2 Dell customer service reps, random people in traffic, my sister, my “piece”…hell, just about anyone with whom I came into contact.  Nope. It wasn’t a good week.

I stop at my neighborhood Publix to pick up a few things before heading to the crib and veggin’ out. First stop is the bakery where, to my utter disgust, a fly is having his way inside the donut case. Shimmying his nasty ass around that blueberry bagel. BUZZZ…BUZZZZ!  Uuuggghhhh! No late night donuts for me.

After informing the baker of the FLY situation, I head to the case with the “covered & sealed” pies and grab a piece of key lime pie.

I make my way to the back of the store to the seafood department to order my Alaskan King crab steamed with Old Bay seasoning. While I’m waiting my turn, I notice a family of four with the youngest being a baby no more than 1 or 2 years old and from what I can see, a special needs child. The older child is about 13 years old and he’s entertaining the baby with a ball. The baby throws the ball and screams while the teen runs to retrieve the ball. This goes on about 3 or 4 times until the mom shuts it down to the apparent disapproval of the baby who begins to scream and grunt…very loudly.
