It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

Food For Thought...

And you know I had to double check with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Factcheck.org websites to make sure that what I was posting, was in fact, true.

But yeah, as I've been saying all along, the same people who are voting for no government intervention are the same people who use more of it.

Seriously folks, we have swaths of counties surrounding our area that consist of nothing but beer-chugging, backyard partying, food stamp-whoring people who are voting against their own interests. Lol.  It's almost too funny not to laugh.
The most recent Department of Agriculture report on the general characteristics of the SNAP program’s beneficiaries says that in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, 2010:
  • 47 percent of beneficiaries were children under age 18.
  • 8 percent were age 60 or older.
  • 41 percent lived in a household with earnings from a job — the so-called “working poor.”
  • The average household received a monthly benefit of $287.
  • 36 percent were white (non-Hispanic), 22 percent were African American (non-Hispanic) and 10 percent were Hispanic (Table A.21).

Isn't This The Truth? Duck Face

Laugh of the Day: Meet a Black Person

Have you ever met a black person?  Well, in Houston you have - in Dallas even, but in Aspen, Colorado?  Hmmm. Isn't the population in Aspen 90% white? LOL.  
The guy in this pic, is so fascinated by seeing a black person that he wants to take a picture.  And another one says, "I don't mind black guys, I'm from Dallas, Texas, and we.. I love all of you." LOL.   

The video produced by Improv Everywhere is an absolute hoot! Here's their YouTube description...
Since Aspen, Colorado has an African American population of 0.44%, we decided to give the locals a chance to meet a black person. We put comedian Colton Dunn in an empty hot chocolate kiosk at the foot of the mountain to greet folks as they exited the slopes.
For those who have no idea who Improv Everwhere are, they're "a New York City-based prank collective that causes scenes of chaos and joy in public places. Created in August of 2001 by Charlie Todd, Improv Everywhere has executed over 100 missions involving tens of thousands of undercover agents."

Laugh of the Day: Sh*t White Girls Say to Black Girls

Man, I thought my "Sh*t They Say Trilogy" would have ended it all last week,  but it doesn't seem to end.  Now there's the things white girls say to black girls.  I would be lying if I said this was not a true reflection of it, but I'm sorry, it is!

I've seen and heard it first hand. I've worked in an office environment long enough to hear the ridiculous verbage that comes out of a "white girl's" mouth.

Laugh of the Day: The Sh*t They Say Trilogy

So, by now everyone has seen the video of "Sh*t Girls Say".  If you haven't, you missed a good one.  The shameless video went viral last week, and it was absolutely hilarious.  Well, within a matter of days, numerous parodies started popping up, from the "Sh*t Gay Guys Say" to the "Sh*t Black Girls Say".  And well, everyone and their mother posted them on Facebook.  So, before I could even blog about it, "aunt Josie" from Wallacazoo, Tennessee had already seen all 15 versions of it, what was the point?  LOL.

In either case, here's the trilogy to make you laugh for the day...

Jonny McGovern Releases Another Gay Music Video - Dickmatized

You have to watch this video.  You gay boys will love it.  What gay boy wouldn't?  

So we have two openly gay rappers who love to make music videos featuring really hot guys.  And when I mean hot, I mean hot.  I'm sure you remember the music video, "Likin' Big Dicks" by Jonny McGovern that I posted back in August.  Definitely NSFW, but extremely hot.  

And I'm sure you remember Cazwell, wanting to show us his "Ice Cream Truck," and wanted some "Money Back" for it.  

Let's just say, they have no shame when it comes to portraying half-naked men in their music videos, and who's complaining?  I sure am not.  Check out Jonny's new music video, "DICKMATIZED."

This time Johnny shoots hoops instead of playing soccer.  He and his "homo-homies" have a little bit of fun checking out his competition - hotties in low-rise shorts showing off their perfect bodies.  What's not to like?

Are People Really This Stupid? Issue No. 16 - Whites Only

In this day and age, are people really this stupid?  Really?  What would drive a landlord of an apartment complex to post a sign titled, "Public Swimming Pool: White Only"?
Ignorance is what I'd say.  But not for Michael Gunn, a tenant from the same complex.  He wasn't having any of that.  He filed discrimination charges within a matter of days, and had this to say...
“We invited my daughter, who is African-American, to visit and swim in the pool for the Memorial Day weekend,” Gunn wrote in his complaint. “The owner, Jamie Hein, accused my daughter of making the pool ‘cloudy’ because she used chemicals in her hair. Days later, she posted a sign on the gate to the pool which reads, ‘Public Swimming Pool, White Only.’”
Oh... that's okay Ms. Hein of Cincinnati. "It's a historical sign".  LOL , she said this after she was asked about the sign.
"I'm not a bad person, I don't have any problem with race at all. It's a historical sign."
“I’ve never said anything to that child,” Hein said. “If I have to stick up for my white rights, I have to stick up for my white rights. It goes both ways.”
Oh yeah, she's not racist, she's just sticking up for her white rights.

What a Hot Mess: G.O.P. is The New Black

As I was driving into work this morning listening to my morning conservative radio, (because you know, that's all you're allowed to listen to in Texas) I nearly got into a car accident.  No, it wasn't because Houston traffic was a hot mess, but rather, a billboard that looked like this...
This precious billboard along with another that reads "Martin Luther King, Jr. Was A Republican" can now be seen in Texas, South Carolina, Ohio, and coming soon to state near you!  Of course, this coming from a man who wears a silly little earring and calls himself a conservative activist.

Oh, and the man has a fascination with Ronald Reagan, as all Republican members of Congress and Presidential candidates do.

Because there was only one Reagan! The only place you're going to find the great Reagan now is in his beautiful tomb at his library, and in the memories of those that lived at the time of his service. There is no other Reagan! And, we should stop looking for such a creature. It's a waste of time. Ronald Reagan was put in the plans of God for just the time that he was needed. Reagan had the beliefs, the temperament, the personality, the skills and everything else that was needed for just that moment in American and world history. For once, 20th Century America got it right when it came to selecting its servant-in-chief. - Claver T. Kamau-Imani
What a hot mess!  I guess Mr. Kamau-Imani forgot that Reagan called the Voting Rights Act "humiliating," fired members of his Civil Rights Commission when they criticized his record and opposed the creation of Martin Luther King Day.  Hmmm, something's wrong with those billboards.

Oh yeah, and Martin Luther King wasn't a Republican.

Top 5 Most Segregated Urban Areas In America

And you thought segregation was a thing of the past.  Maybe you should think again.  I found these demographics quiet astonishing, but it is what it is.

The Black Madonna

Hmmm, not sure how what to make of it.  I know it's Art, but is ironic that Madonna once considered naming one of her albums the "Black Madonna."

A loyal Madonna fan decided to imagine what the cover may have looked like.
