Suitcase Full of Tears

Caution this is fairly GRAPHIC! Don’t be Jaywalking…

ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT!

It is always nice to see Sean Hannity smacked down. The best part of this was that he was smacked on his own show. Obama campaign spokesperson Robert Gibbs.

My Mom kills me. She sends around some pretty funny stuff… 

‘They’re standing on the corner and they can’t speak English.
I can’t even talk the way these people talk:
Why you ain’t,
Where you is,
What he drive,
Where he stay,
Where he work,
Who you be…

And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk.
And then I heard the father talk.
Everybody knows it’s important to speak English except these knuckleheads!
You can’t be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth.
In fact you will never get any kind of job making a decent living. People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an education, and now we’ve got these knuckleheads walking around.
The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal.
These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids. $500 sneakers for what ? ?
And they won’t spend $200 for Hooked on Phonics.
I am talki ng about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit.
Where were you when he was 2 ? 
Where wer e you when he was 12 ? 
Where were you when he was 18 and how come you didn’t know that he had a pistol ? 
And where is the father?  Or who is his father?’ Whos yo Daddy?’ shouldn’t be a question anyone should have to ask ! ! !
People putting their clothes on backward: Isn’t that a sign of something gone wrong?
People with their hats on backward, pants down around the crack, isn’t that a sign of something ?
Or are you waiting for Jesus to pull his pants up ?
Isn’t it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up and got all type of needles [piercing] going through her body?
What part of Africa did this come from??
We are not Africans. Those people are not Africans; they don’t know a thing about Africa.
With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Mohammed and all of that crap, and all of them are in jail.
Brown or black versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person’s problem.
We have got to take the neighborhood back.
People used to be ashamed. Today a woman has eight children with eight different ‘husbands’ — or men or whatever you call them now.
We have millionaire football players who cannot read.
We have million-dollar basketball players who can’t write two paragraphs. We, as black folks have to do a better job.
Someone working at Wal-Mart with seven kids, you are hurting us.
We have to start holding each other to a higher standard.
We cannot blame the white people any longer.’

Dr. William Henry ‘Bill’ Cosby, Jr., Ed.D.

First they came for the hackers. But I never did anything illegal with my computer, so I didn’t speak up. Then they came for the pornographers. But I thought there was too much smut on the Internet anyway, so I didn’t speak up. Then they came for the anonymous remailers. But a lot of nasty stuff gets sent from anon.penet.fi, so I didn’t speak up. Then they came for the encryption users. But I could never figure out how to work pgp5 anyway, so I didn’t speak up. Then they came for me. And by that time there was no one left to speak up.”

George W. Bush, Jr. – The Dark Side
I’ve been to war [sic]. I’ve raised twins. If I had a choice, I’d rather go to war.”
– Bush, flat out lying in 2002

“One of the interesting initiatives we’ve taken in Washington, D.C., is we’ve got these vampire-busting devices. A vampire is a—a cell deal you can plug in the wall to charge your cell phone.”—Denver, CO. Aug. 14, 2001

“Well, it’s an unimaginable honor to be the president during the Fourth of July of this country. It means what these words say, for starters. The great inalienable rights of our country. We’re blessed with such values in America. And I–it’s–I’m a proud man to be the nation based upon such wonderful values.”–Visiting the Jefferson Memorial, Washington, D.C., July 2, 2001

“We spent a lot of time talking about Africa, as we should. Africa is a nation that suffers from incredible disease.”–After meeting with the leaders of the European Union, Gothenburg, Sweden, June 14, 2001

Yes, it’s again that magical time of the year when the Darwin Awards are bestowed, honoring the least evolved among us. Thanks Carol!

 Here is the glorious Winner:

1.  When his 38-calibre revolver failed to fire at his intended victim during a hold-up in Long  Beach, California , would-be robber James Elliot did something that can only inspire wonder.  He peered down the barrel and tried the trigger again.  This time it  worked.

And now, the Honorable Mentions:

2. The chef at a hotel in Switzerland lost a finger in a meat-cutting machine and submitted a claim to his insurance company.  The  company expecting negligence sent out one of its men to have a look for himself.  He tried the machine and he also lost a finger.  The  chef’s claim was approved.

3. A man who shovelled snow for an hour  to clear a space for his car during a blizzard in Chicago returned with his vehicle to find a woman had taken the space.  Understandably, he shot  her.
