MICHAEL VICK knew that these mangy curs were not to be trusted.
And now human lives are lost.

America’s Killing Fields…
Tuesday, August 18th, 2009
America’s insatiable lust for cocaine is what has caused over 1300 murders this year so far in the Mexican border town Ciudad Juarez. That number is almost six times the amount of homicides committed here in New York City this year. Ciudad Juarez population is 2 million and NYC’s is 10 million.
Gunmen kill 8 at bar in Mexican border city
What’s the connection with a shitload of dollar bills in Washington D.c. showing trace amounts of cocaine on them and all of these murders inside Mexico? The demand is obviously fueling the supply. I don’t know who in D.C. is getting skeed up off the sneedle, but whoever they are there is blood on their hands. Mexico in 2009 has become similar to America’s crack infested ghettos from 1989.
The drug trade is too profitable and too formidable to be denied. The drug trade in Mexico has seeped into the social structure at every level. The cartels are becoming legitimate industries as they diversify their trades and expand their rackets. There is only one law now in Mexico. There is no law. There are only the cartels. Big fish eating smaller fish. Well, big fish shooting smaller fish to death. Then eating it.
Moral of the story…
Sniff cocaine with African currency.
Africa can’t get any more fucked the fuck up.

I am willing to bet you that former president BILL CLINTON beat out at least one of these journalists.
There is no way this dude goes on a road trip and doesn’t score.
What I Learned At School Today…
Monday, August 3rd, 2009
I always see those ads on the subway for the bootleg colleges that promise to teach students shit like information technology, phlebotomy and eBay (WTF?!?!) and I think to myself that anyone who goes to one of these schools is a loser.
It turns out that one person isn’t taking the loss from a horizontal position though. She has decided to sue the fake college for not helping her find a job. Next time she should just go to law school.
Now that America no longer produces tangible goods the need for people to support the operations of manufacturers is removed. Information technology is useless if you are only going to be counting poor people. We know poor folks don’t have the right information so they definitely can’t have the proper technology (natch).
Pretty soon we will only have two types of career professions here in America.
Criminals and lawyers.
And you won’t be able to tell the difference between the two.
Signifying Monkey In Handcuffs…
Sunday, August 2nd, 2009
“Hey! They told me they call you a nigger when you ain’t around!”
It’s 6am and I just came home from the most epic of nights. Manhattan, Brooklyn and some stops in between. As I was about to upload the day’s video footage I read a comment from ctorre telling me to respect the gangsta of Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. becuase he wrote some academic book on the trickster – The Signifying Monkey: A Theory of African-American Literary Criticism
The trickster character is prevalent in most mythology as the character at the crossroads pointing in several directions all at once. The signifying monkey was supposed to be a guide to gauge your moral and mental capacity in order to decide your fate. Professor Gates sure could have a used a signifying monkey in his house the evening he got pinched. He has been looking down from the ivory (ivy) tower for so long he forgot that he got in there as a janitor.
Here’s some blurb on Gates book that tells me he should have owned the filter in his brain to keep him from talking sideways shit to a man with a gun in his home…
“Henry Louis Gates, Jr.’s original, groundbreaking study explores the relationship between the African and African-American vernacular traditions and black literature, elaborating a new critical approach located within this tradition that allows the black voice to speak for itself. Examining the ancient poetry and myths found in African, Latin American, and Caribbean culture, and particularly the Yoruba trickster figure of Esu-Elegbara and the Signifying Monkey whose myths help articulate the black tradition’s theory of its literature, Gates uncovers a unique system of interpretation and a powerful vernacular tradition that black slaves brought with them to the New World. His critical approach relies heavily on the Signifying Monkey–perhaps the most popular figure in African-American folklore–and signification and Signifyin(g).”
If he had really studied ZORA NEALE HURSTON’s incredible novel ‘Their Eyes Were Watching Gods’ he would have realized that his battle was in another place at another time. I still don’t believe this professor has any inkling what the majority of Black males have come to understand as the normal police procedures but we will see whet lessons he develops from this experience. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of Black males are inmates in prisons across this nation for non-violent crimes.
Can we get these men a signifying monkey?
