G-d Damn Looters!
"Ranting is good for the soul."
The exact words from a close friend. Okay, so Kanye West was wrong for his derogatory statements about Whites, and using the N-word incessantly in "Gold Digger." And honestly (despite being a fan still) his sophomore album could have been better. However, I have to agree with the statements he made during the Red Cross Relief Fundraiser on MSNBC. I'm pretty sure that everyone is familiar with that famous moment in television history by now. I'm not sure how George W. Bush feels about Blacks because I'm not a mind-reader. However, I wouldn't put it past him. At first glance I simply though he was referring to the race card that he commonly plays. But after looking at it from a different perspective and also doing some research as well, I've realized something. The media does in fact depict Blacks and Whites differently. Look above, the picture with a Black person has the caption of "looting" while the picture with the White couple has the caption of "finding." That alone speaks volumes for itself.

But I'm having a whale of a time!
You have a riveting web log
and undoubtedly must have
atypical & quiescent potential
for your intended readership.
May I suggest that you do
everything in your power to
honor your encyclopedic/omniscient
Designer/Architect as well
as your revering audience.
As soon as we acknowledge
this Supreme Designer/Architect,
Who has erected the beauteous
fabric of the universe, our minds
must necessarily be ravished with
wonder at this infinate goodness,
wisdom and power.
Please remember to never
restrict anyone's opportunities
for ascertaining uninterrupted
existence for their quintessence.
There is a time for everything,
a season for every activity
under heaven. A time to be
born and a time to die. A
time to plant and a time to
harvest. A time to kill and
a time to heal. A time to
tear down and a time to
rebuild. A time to cry and
a time to laugh. A time to
grieve and a time to dance.
A time to scatter stones
and a time to gather stones.
A time to embrace and a
time to turn away. A time to
search and a time to lose.
A time to keep and a time to
throw away. A time to tear
and a time to mend. A time
to be quiet and a time to
speak up. A time to love
and a time to hate. A time
for war and a time for peace.
Best wishes for continued ascendancy,
Dr. Howdy
P.S. One thing of which I am sure is
that the common culture of my youth
is gone for good. It was hollowed out
by the rise of ethnic "identity politics,"
then splintered beyond hope of repair
by the emergence of the web-based
technologies that so maximized and
facilitated cultural choice as to make
the broad-based offerings of the old
mass media look bland and unchallenging
by comparison."
