Is there such a thing as the Black Crusaders?

So as usual Elizabeth Hasselbeck was continuing to tote the party line on “The View” today. But that was not the news that I bring you today.

I wonder if maybe Tine Fey was on to something. In one of the first season episodes of “30 Rock” there is a story of show clown “Tracy Jordan” (played by real clown Tracy Morgan) going on the run from the “Black Crusaders”. The crusaders are a cabal of powerful black Americans that don’t take kindly to black people embarrassing the race in public.


Has life imitated art? Was Tina and company unknowingly onto something? Because it seems as though someone hemmed Sherri up in a corner somewhere and took her “out to the woodshed.” Now I am not saying she is a changed woman, but I am saying for the first time that I can remember she is involved and engaged in the conversation. She seems to be making sense and arguing her case. Could this be the beginning of a newer brighter Sherri Shepherd????

From the Horses Ass...I mean mouth!

People in glass houses in Alaska

In the red corner weighing in around 250 pounds in the bikini and bone thru the nose Sarah Palin and Thomas Huthee.

Weighing in the blue corner at a sexy 360 pounds wearing more designer names than you can shake a stick at the Hallowell Sisters AKA the Charmed ones.

Well in a fair fight there is no question who would take who. One quick spell from the “Book of Shadows” and the girls of Charmed would take it hands down. But it seems that Sarah Palin is protected from witchcraft by a standard spell/prayer from one of her spiritual advisors Thomas Huthee.

Now the only reason I bring this up is because it seems that Rev. Wright has been brought back into the election news cycle. Sarah P. suggested that John McCain get that story out there about Obama severing ties with the Minister of Trinity united Methodist church for his less than Loving America stance.

Maybe Sarah didn’t know this took place months ago, maybe someone was having fun and slipped her an old newspaper, she did state she reads whatever is put in front of her. Maybe Sarah could focus more on the immediate needs of “Joe six –pack” who she claims to be speaking for. Or maybe she could just go away…….

Can someone get me a vanquishing potion?????

So I do have something in common with old Johnny McCain.

I am a child of the 80’s, and was it ever a great time to be a child. I mean yes there was Presidents Reagan and Bush (1) but that didn’t matter much to me. There were music videos and boy bands and men dressing like women making great music. One of those great music makers was El DeBarge of the DeBarge family. He like so many others from large groups stepped out on his own and didn’t do bad. One of my favorite songs from him (which years later turned into my break up song) “Turn the Page” from his second solo project “Gemini”.

I thought it was a dead on choice for when I needed to get over and move on. Well it seems that the song works for John McCain as well. Who knew? I mean honestly, if you had asked me if John McCain was a El DeBarge fan I would have said “Does he think that is one of his gardeners?”

But McCain has decided that he is going to turn the page on talking about economics. It seems it’s a sore subject with him and as he has plainly stated in the past, not his best subject.

I am not even going to get into the fact that the idea of someone running on a platform of relating to “Joe six-pack” (whoever the fuck that is) who is looking for answers and help being turned the page on.

No I am going to talk about character, I am going to speak on the hero and all I have heard about Johnny Boys days as a POW. Now I have never been in the armed service so I have nothing but respect for those who chose that route. These are some great folks. I have an ex who was a Sgt. Major in the army and for about a year I lived in an army town.

All the John McCain POW stories I have heard is how he was broken and bruised and even when the opportunity to leave came up he said “Not without my daughter!!” (Sorry old Sally Field reference.) Now you’re running for President of the United States and when the going gets tough, when the economy you claimed was so strong is collapsing around us like a forgotten temple around Indiana Jones, you want to turn the page?

Well I will tell you what. Let’s do that Senator McCain. If we can turn the page on the economy then let’s turn the page on the Iraq war. STOP!!! FINI!!!!! DONE!!!!! Bring everyone home right now. I am sure the American public is tired of our kids our parents out brothers and sisters dying to liberate a country that has asked us to Get Out like five times already. But NO, can’t do that. One year or one hundred, cause this is something you like, this is something you can get your mind and hands around.

Well Senator McCain, I can’t wait for November 4th to come. Hopefully we will be able to “Turn the page “on you. And trust me, on that day I will not be playing El Debarge in your honor!

The lettuce of the Elite!

So in preparing to watch tonight's historic debate I turned on MSNBC's show Hardball. Chris Matthews hardball host was sitting in with Senior Advisor to John McCain Douglas "McCain invented the Blackberry" Holtz-Eakin. When Chris asked him what stragety Palin was going to take tonight he stated that "Sarah Paling is a real Middle Class citizen and that was her strength as oppose to the democratic candidates who are only faux middle class". To bring his point home he stated that one of Obama's favorite meals in Arugula. when Chris asked Douglas what arugula is he answered "well you know it's a very fine.........."

If you are gloing to promote elitism and food you should pick food that you actually know , not just something that sounds fancy. So tomorrow I will be sending Douglas Holtz-Eakin a email and a picture with a defination.

Arugula, an aromatic salad green, most popular in italian food. Lettuce ladies and gentlemen......lettuce!
