Rosie causes more trouble at 'The View'

So, I had yesterday off of work to relax. I watched President Bush's press conference with one eye open and I watched 'The View.' Yesterday Donald Trump promised to sue Rosie O'Donnell for the comments she made about him on air. I was watching and couldn't figure out who she was speaking of. She compared him to a snake-oil salesman that was on an episode of "Little House on the Prairie." It was weird, but she was upset over his decision to let a Miss USA winner keep her crown even though she'd been discovered drinking underage. She dissed the Miss USA pagent and called it a modeling competion. Then said, "They have one question in Miss USA, yeah and they're like ‘I'd like to cure cancer and end world hunger – and then I'd like to go to Studio 54 and do some crack." Wow, Rosie. Crack is wack.. and cheap. It's the ultimate insult. Only really stupid people do crack. She must have something against.. pagents. Or is there more to it?

Donald pointed out that Rosie may just be feeling unpretty. "Well, look, Rosie's a very unattractive woman. I'm saying something. I'm not a politician, so I'm not running for office, so I can say it. I mean, Rosie is a very unattractive woman, but, as unattractive as she is on the outside, she's even worse on the inside," Trump said. He also predicted that The View's ratings will start to slip soon because people hate watching Rosie. He also said that she's lucky to have a girlfriend [actually they're "married"] and better hold on to her because she probably won't find another.

I have to admit, man.. when I was in college, I planned my class schedule with an hour-long hole in it so that I could watch "The View" every day. I mean, even if I had to watch on a public TV on campus, I'd still make sure that I found one. This was when they had Meredith Viera, Joy Behar, Lisa Ling, (fat) Star Jones and Barbara. What a good show, it was smart and sassy. All types of shit has gone on since. I can't point to one person, but I can say that Rosie is not fun to watch. I was thinking yesterday, "Wasn't she a comedian or something once?" I mean, Rosie used to be funny and nice. They used to cal her the "Queen of Nice." But, out-of-the-closet Rosie is mean and serious. She has an opinion on EVERYTHING and rarely has anything nice to say. She's also pulling celebs out of the closet, even people who I don't think are gay. Like, Oprah and Gail. Gross. Would Rosie lick her best friend? Even is Oprah was gay, would it be with Gail? Seriously. Then there was Clay Aiken, who keeps trying to say he's not gay. Then her gay ass tries to call Kelly Ripa homophobic for not wanting his hands on her mouth.

I think the View is going under anyway, so they should just keep Rosie and then get off the air. Last week, Rosie even offended Barbara Walters to her face! She accused her of not being normal or down-to-earth and said that the first really ritzy apartment she ever went to was Barbara's. Man, if looks could kill, Barbara's glare from across the table would have knocked Rosie out of that seat. She looked quite hot. And that just can't be true. Rosie's been around for a long time, she was even peeps with Madonna. So, get off of that "I'm real" because I go to barbecues and eat hotdogs isht. That's just stupid.

Crusty goes to a wedding

I often mention that I don't go to many weddings, OK, I've only really been to one as a guest. This past weekend one of my first cousins got married and I was a bridesmaid. I wore a dress that I can wear again and posed for tons of pictures. It was really fun and the wedding was beautiful. (I was hoping it wouldn't be one of those crazy weddings that people circulate in emails like the one the picture above comes from.) I'd say the best part was that I got to eat first.. the weird part is that the photographers took pictures and videos of the wedding party eating. It was a Jamaican wedding so the food was great and the music was good.

Did I trip during the ceremony? Yes, yes I did. But I recovered quickly and there was a slash in the white carpet so it wasn't me being clumsy.

The cool thing about weddings is that they make you think of the wedding you may want one day. There were a lot of comments from people about how they'd do this better or avoid that. One thing I learned is that everyone who thinks they're significant in your life better get a role that reflects their significance. Even if you have to create a role, like "Aunt Edna, would you do us the honor of pouring the champagne for the bride and groom?" Then add her to the program just to make it official "Bride and Groom's Flute filler......... Aunt Edna."

The bride and groom couldn't please everyone and the crazy part is that people had the audacity to be upset when the event had nothing to do with them. There were a few grumpy folks who felt they should have been asked to do this or sit there... puh-lease! Then, there was this speech by the mother of the bride -my cousin was the groom- and it was really weird. It sounded like she wasn't happy about them getting together. She told this story of how they were childhood playmates and she didn't find out that they were dating until they were like 30. While she was describing how he'd always show up for any little event, someone in the audience yelled out "You still didn't know?" And she insisted she didn't, although everyone else did. So she issued this warning to parents to watch who their kids play with... I've debated the appropriateness of her speech with family members. It gave a lot of history that may not be available at most weddings. But it came off like she was disappointed. She even mentioned that the groom had a reputation as a bad boy. Geesh, cut the dude some slack on his wedding day! (She didn't mention the bride's rep.) In fact, the speech came off like homegirl could have done better, which I doubt is true because the couple is very much in love despite what their families think.

Unfortunately, I've learned that I probably can't invite my family to my wedding (far, far from now). We were missing key members that would definitely be at my wedding and I couldn't imagine the drama that would have occurred if more people from our side were present. I was actually telling my sister that the good news is that the bride's family isn't much more civilized than ours. lol. That's horrible! So, I either have to marry a dude with a family that's embarrassing but means well or elope. Great!

Hos need love too

So, I was reading the news and ran across a few interesting stories out of England. It seems that over there people truly care for their hoes. The first headline was "5 Slain Prositutes Mourned in England." There's a serial killer on the loose and they found 5 bodies in 11 days. What was interesting was that the police actually put out a warning to the street walkers to stay their asses indoors. There's a murderer looking for you! One chick even talked to the news and told them that she just had to go back outside because she needs money for herion. And her body was found a few days later. Guess psycho was trying to prove something. This isn't funny, so I'll make a serious observation. I thought it was big for the police to show concern for dead prositutes. Hoes need love too..

Speaking of hoes, how about Paris Hilton trying to take up for the panty-less Britney Spears? I see nothing wrong with a lady leaving her panties at home, I'm hip and with it. But, leaving your two infants at home? Then letting a bootleg porno star/singer take up for you? That's unforgivable. That's all I'm saying.

Separating blacks from N'uhs

So, someone forwarded me this article from Esquire Magazine called The Manifesto of the Ascendancy for the Modern American Nigger. Boring title until you get to the end, huh?

Anyway, this essayist is after my own heart. We've talked about this topic on MBT before. He basically is saying that there are niggers and there are black folks. Niggers don't like education, don't get married, live off of welfare and WIC, and most important, they're victims. Black people are very accomplished, they vote, pay taxes, go to work and walk upright just like white people. So he'd like to see Black people finally pull away from niggers. Niggers hate people like Condi Rice and Colin Powell because they're all smart and Republican, but the author of the essay, John Ridley, thinks that black people should embrace those who are accomplished and highly educated. Really, Colin Powell should be a hero in our community and so should Condi.. (I'm really a fan of Colin Powell and always have been, plus I'm educated.. guess that make me black!)

So the writer points to the situation in 2001 when an American surveillance [not spy] plane went down in China. The Chinese had our plane with all that high-tech snooping gear and like 20 U.S. gov't employees. Bush appointed Condi and Colin to take care of the situation because Condi is a Russia expert and Colin is the ultimate diplomat. The writer knows a lot about this subject, but basically the point is that Cheney and Bush got impatient with the diplomacy process and tried to tough talk China.. calling the people on the plane hostages and telling China to send them home and refusing to apologize. That got them nowhere, so they had to pull back and let Condi and Colin to clean up. They did a great job, and the Jesse Jackson ["an old-school Negro"] came in to steal their [the "new school negroes"] victorious moment. They didn't let him, but if you let Mr. Ridley tell it, Niggers rained on their parade anyway. How?

Well, you're lucky I'm mentally checked out at work today, because I've read the 4-page essay and I know that answer. The Cincinnati riots took place at the same time that the "hostages" were being released from China thanks to Condi and Colin's hard work. Thanks to the hoopla over 15 Black men who had been gunned down by Cincinnati police over 6 years, Condi and Colin got no attention. The writer does an excellent job of pointing out that really of those 15 black men killed by cops, quite a few were murderers or cop killers or really assualted cops first. So, it's not really like they didn't deserve to die.

Anyway, where's this all going right? That's what I was wondering too.. Basically, Black Americans should follow the path of Condi and Colin and stop following old-school negroes who cling to eternal victimazation, like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. If you want to be black you need to acheive without stressing the limitations of racism. Close your eyes and forge ahead, I guess.

I don't know about dude. He's smart and all.. I'm not mad at that. But the problem with black people pulling away from niggers is that, in many cases you're asking us to categorize ourselves, then damn each other to one group or the other. Then you're asking me to pull away from family members or friends who may have been born into niggerdom. It's a hard life to escape, I'd say. If we pull away, then how will "our people" ever rise up as a whole? Maybe that's never going to happen anyway.. But he saying to cut off the dead weight of the black community. Then he's saying, stop marching in the streets when these hoodlums are gunned down by police.. He's asking "black people" to let "niggers" fight their own battles. But he's also acknowledging that they don't have the tools to do so. I'm glad I'm black, but I just can't turn away from the plight of so-called niggers. That's crazy talk.

Of course, we've talked about that on this blog before. Even I have questioned why we let the women on Flavor of Love embarass us. They're not LIKE me. The other interesting thing here is that when Chris Rock said he loved black people but hated niggers it was funny. I agreed immediately. Now that this dude has gathered said it in an academic tone and published it in GQ (he must not have wanted the niggers to read it, lol. I couldn't resist. ) it's like I can't agree.

You still reading this? Whatchuthink?

Is that your dog?

This may be a chick thing, but I'm trying to be a better blogger so I guess you have to read whatever the hell I think of. Here's what I've been pondering lately..

It's about friendships. Girls have the worst time maintaining friends because we're so complex. Shit has to be sooo deep and we expect probably too much out of each other. In the territory of dealing with "best friends" and their men it gets especially treacherous. I mean, we talk to each other about boys all the time. Some girls have nothing else to talk about other than boys (boring friends). So what happens when your girl falls head over heels for some loser and you know that you're the one she'll be complaining to when he fucks her over? I mean, I've been that chick- but I also know that you can only expect a friend to lend their ear so many times before you have to handle your own issues.

I have this friend, who has a friend who dates a loser. I mean, on paper and in person. Not a loser with charm or charisma or extreme sex appeal, like the losers I've dated. Just a loser. I never liked him, but I always let them live and I never shared my opinion. (I mean, my friend never shared her opinions.) Anyway, they've hit rock bottom, came to the correct conclusion to break up and somehow found their way back into each other's arms. This time, it's just hard to watch. The romance simply won't work and if it does, the lady who deserves more will have to settle for less and may end up with baggage she can't get rid of, or miss wonderful opportunities that loser doesn't support.

My friend finds herself not wanting to talk to her best friend because she's so disappointed in her piss poor decisions and would rather not be around to watch. Is that fair?

Another similar scenario is unfolding with yet another friend of mine. She's had five-month stand-off with her best friend that goes back to a simple missed phone call. Her long-term friendship may be over because she committed the unthinkable crime of not giving her best friend phone messages from a guy she liked. Never mind their long history of him disrespecting her and ranking her very low on his priority list. Never mind the fact that her friend gave out her phone number without asking. She was only trying to look out and spare them both the drama of dealing with him and now she's the bad friend. It never fails that ANYTIME you step between a woman and her man (even if he isn't her man at all) you will lose. Do guys have these issues too? If your man's dating the hoe of babylon or a gold digger do you mention it? Does he get mad?

So what's the solution?
A. Stay out of your friends' business even when they drag you in with details?
B. Simply listen and pretend like you support their dumb ass decisions?
C. Tell them how you feel and let them deal with it any way they please?

I mean, you could always just be one of those girls who say: I don't hang with girls. But, that's really lame. I love my girls.

Just wondering...

This blog is still here, huh? Anyway, does anyone know where all the affordable gas went? Remember that we had plenty of it back in later October, right before the mid-term elections? I'm wondering if we used it all. Now, it's all high again, WTF?

Someone tried to blame it on the end of the summer travel season (back in August), saying that the supply and demand had been normalized. But, I ain't buying that crap. Another newspaper pointed out the India and China are growing and developing a larger appetite for oil, which is effecting the demand globally.. umm.. No.

I just want to know HOW they could afford to drop the prices for the Republicans. I remember seeing one gas station in my area on the news during election time. They were asking him why his gas was still high ($2.25 or so) while everyone else's was like $2.11, and he said that he'd gotten locked in to buying gas at a high rate and couldn't afford to drop his prices. But it was weird.. it seemed like he was the only station in town that didn't get the "better drop your prices for elections" memo... Not only that, I think that he got the memo and really felt bad that he couldn't comply and now the news was putting him on blast. Like, why didn't you get with the program? How'd they do that?!
Seriously. If that's an option then they should have price wars like the airlines. We could get little emails from Exxon or BP saying that gas will be on sale in this town starting Wed. but you have to purchase by Friday. Whatever rules they want. I think that would provide relief for us, healthy competition to them and if nothing else it would make buying gas a little more fun.
