IMO

WOW I find it funny that the angry white males are rebelling against change when they have been the benefactors for so long. For every perceived injustice brought upon them in this so-called new society of change. Cry me a river that you’re not in the cat bird seat any more, everyone should be equal, equal work for equal pay, black, white, male, female, gay or str8 EQUAL is key word. The bottom line is the rich have jettison the poor white man, now he has to get in line with those whom he used to look down upon, sucks doesn’t? Well here is the upside, your blinders have been removed, “you can see clearly now the rain in gone, you can see all the obstacles in our way”.


The analogy is: peasants and noblemen, some peasants are selected to keep the rest of the peasants in check while the noblemen screw us all; problem is once the castle walls are high enough (Rich enough) then all the peasants become unless to the Rich/noblemen, then you’re shoved back in with the rest of us peasants, welcome home.

SMOKE Break, please read and comment

SMOKE Break

In my place of employment I take periodic smoke breaks, the smokers in my building are comprised of all categories of people to include Republicans and Some Tea Party members. The standard conversation usually is about sports but every now and then someone brings up politics when this happen I usually remain silent, so as to not be labeled the angry Black liberal LOL.
Well today one of the most arrogant republicans who happened to be a contractor, I labeled him arrogant because he always talked about how well he was doing compared to the rest of us lowly workers. Anyone not making 6 figures we’re beneath him, he has a house in Tyson corner, infinity x whatever class car, 500.00 dollars watches and all the bells and whistles the rest of us can’t afford.
Well today he was laid-off (contractor) FY14 funds will not cover his pay, and now he is faced with the real possibility of losing everything. He complained the job was given to, two college kids that don’t know shit about the job and that the company was wrong for hiring them. He mentioned that both kids would only make half of what he was making. I held my comments because he truly believed that he was not replaceable, as if he had not noticed the economy over the lasted 8 years and that no one should take their jobs for grant it.
He needs to be out of the building by 1530hrs, I want so much to tell him that Karma is a bitch but I know that would be wrong, if I see him again I plan to wish him good luck, even if he says he is going to apply for unemployment.
Just wanted to share this story and ask if any of you would have handled this differently?

Sorry if this has been posted already......but some of us called this when the story broke

sherry west liedBrunswick, Ga. resident Sherry West, 42, mother of baby Antonio Santiago slain on March 14, 2013, told CNN’s Piers Morgan she wants the alleged teen killers to die during an on-camera interview. “A life for a life,” she said.

De’Marquis Elkins, 17, and Dominique Lang, 15, were arrested and charged with murdering the 13-month-old. Their trial was set for this August but their public defender, Jonathan Lockwood, uncovered some shocking evidence.

She lied! The gunshot residue was found on both West and baby Antonio’s father, Louis, who was initially reported no where near the crime scene.

Back in March, West told police that while on her way home from the post office two black boys attempted to rob her. When she told them that she didn’t have any money, they shot baby Antonio in the face, then shot her in the leg before running away.

The state forensic report says, “This supports the possibility that [Louis Santiago] discharged a firearm, was in close proximity to a firearm upon discharge, or came into contact with an item whose surface bears GSR [gunshot residue].”
