On Popeye's, Distractions, and Miscellaneous Foolishness

Thought Experiment: WHAT IF it were as easy to vote as it is (comparatively) to get a chicken sammich?
  • I don't need a voter ID to get a chicken sammich.
  • I can get a sammich seven days a week... until 10 PM. (I mean THEORETICALLY... if they weren't always selling out... but you know what I mean... MOVING ON...)
  • I don't have to wait at the DMV to register for my sammich.
  • I don't have to travel hours out of my way to fill out sammich paperwork because the state legislators closed 80% of the Popeye's near Black folks.
  • The Secretary of State isn't shutting down my Popeyes...
  • Or stealing the power cords for the toasters.
  • I have to vote once or twice a year...
  • Most folks try to eat every day.
  • I don't have any concerns that Russian agents are hacking my sammich.
  • As it happens, I vote in EVERY election. And post about voting in every election... and post about registering before the registration deadline.
  • I also post about supporting Black businesses.
  • And 45's antics.

But I ALSO like posting about lighter stuff. Not that the sammich is light. It's not. But it is delicious and perfectly fine in moderation.
Imma keep posting about sammiches, and movies, and tv shows, and Black businesses, and political antics. If that sounds good, follow me here and subscribe to my YouTube channel.
Also, FAMU Homecoming Lives will be LIT.

Ashley Todd

Y'all know the story by now. White, female McCain phonebanker, Ashley Todd, leaves Texas to venture North to support her candidate. After a stint in New York, she ends up in Pittsburgh until Thursday, when she lost her effing mind and became Susan Smith Part Deux . The McCain campaign can hardly be blamed for this girl's actions. However, they need to be questioned on their response. Within hours of the incendiary allegations, two things happened. McCain and Palin called Ashley Todd. A press flack from McCain's Pennsylvania operation started pushing the story and adding salacious details. Consider what was at stake here. In a campaign environment already marked with strained racial tensions, Todd's story was potenitally explosive. It would have made a lot more sense to issue a generic statement (like Obama's campaign did). Instead, McCain and Palin lent legitimacy to the allegations (at least for a few hours) by calling her. They vetted Todd's story abou...

Missy DID HER THANG!

So it's a MAJOR night for some of my faves. Missy. DID. the DAMN. THANG. Side note: Describe J Lo's performance from last year. Can't do it? Thass what I thought. NikkiFree Wiggins  said she will have floor seats if Missy goes on tour. Hell, I wanna be the dude pulling her off stage on the wheeled transport for costume changes. Note to camera operators. When you have a BUILDING FULL of people singing Missy lyrics word for word, DO NOT WASTE CUTS to Taylor Swift's poseur azz shimmying her narrow shoulders in a jacket designed to be editorial. Ma'am, you don't deserve to be featured if you're not a fan. And certainly not multiple times. And CERTAINLYcertainly not in an extended take that took precious seconds from my Missy stanning during Lose Control. Also: Put your tongue back in your mouf, Swift. Back to Missy... Am I the only one who thought that they built the entire VMA set specifically to highlight Missy? That was DAMN-ed impressive. FRfr. I m...

Third Party Politics, A Primer

You want to build a legit third party for 2020? Convince Bernie Sanders to officially declare as a Reform Party candidate and build a state by state coalition of Bernie Sanders-affiliated candidates in State and local races. The Greens are done. The Reform Party actually placed Jesse Ventura in the Minnesota Governor's mansion AND earned the most third party votes since McGovern. There is NO 2024 bench for the Dems. The GOP is struggling too. If you want to break the duopoly,  you'll need a legit 3rd-partier with media presence, charisma, and real political talent. That can't happen overnight, but the unrest in the country is real. You can't beat the system this year, but if you can find the money, you can get candidates into the game. You need someone like Colin Powell to be a standard bearer. Not for POTUS. He'll be too old after this cycle. OTOH, he's got the chops, he's got the respect and combined with Sanders, you could create a home for people...
