Mexican Kidnappers: The Future Of American Childcare

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

Before you think I’m bugging the eff out with this headline take a minute to understand that I am from the future. I am only seeking to solve some of society’s problem’s from a futurist perspective. Sort of like how JEFFREY DAHMER wasn’t just killing people, but eating them as well. Or maybe not like JEFFREY DAHMER.

Here’s the problem: America’s economy is fucked the fuck up. Parents are in a serious bind. Most can’t afford to pay for daycare for their youngest children because the jobs they work at don’t pay enough. Unfortunately, these jobs are also too dangerous for them to bring thir kids to work everyday (the smart parents know to drive to Nebraska and place their kids in that state’s Safe Haven daycare program).

Here’s the answer: Mexico’s economy stays fucked the fuck up. Mexican drug cartels have been ramping up their child abduction extortion efforts. Unfortunately, some of these kids don’t live too long. The Mexican cartels simply need practice in extended childcare. Why can’t we have a program that teaches the Mexican drug cartels better methods for maintaining children’s health over long periods while we allow the parents of the children the time they need to work extended hours in America’s low wage industries? Isn’t this the reason we started NAFTA in the first place?

This program could be like NAFTA mixed with Study Abroad while also having some classes in Guantanamo torture (which will definitely benefit these kids by describing the harsh realities of life at their tender ages). The American people need to get back to work and the Mexican drug cartels need to improve their outreach and customer service. I’d call this a win-win for everyone involved. Provided no one’s child is killed.

The Chinese Package Is Smaller [ll]…

chinese money

The Chinese economic stimulus package is valued at $500 billion which is $250 billion less than the projected U.S. bailout program.

Give some credit to the Chinese though for being able to fix their economy with less money than the U.S. is spending.

Keep in mind that the Chinese have reportedly 1 billion citizens while the U.S. has only 300 million.

The Chinese are doing more people with a smaller package [ll].

GOP Gives Ice Queen The Big Chill…

The other side of the election is the massive fail for McCAIN and his ice queen, SARAH PALIN. The wheels are falling off this ride faster than I don’t know what. McCAIN will still be rich and since he is in the twilight of his life he can just return to the Senate and keep stealing money the way he has for the last two decades.

It doesn’t look like SARAH PALIN will be as lucky to retain her fiefdom. The G.O.P. vultures are swirling as you read this drop. They want to throw someone under the bus and it looks like it will be PALIN and her clan.

Strains Between McCain and Palin Aides Go Public. This story revolves around the charges that SARAH PALIN overextended the campaign budget for her wardrobe. I’m curious as to how one can spend so much and still look so frumpy. I know chicks that hit up the $10 dress spot on Dyckman and come out looking like video ho’s, er, models.

There have been charges flung from anonymous mouthpieces that PALIN could not identify the countries involved in NAFTA. That to me sounds like about more than half of this country. Our politicians are represntative of who we are, and what we are as a nation. Although SARAH PALIN did seem to just fall out of the sky she is by no means an anomaly of the American political body. That should be evident by the fact that her teenage daughter got pregnant.

Speaking of BRISTOL PALIN… Let’s see what happens with her “pregnancy” in another few months.

At the end of the day it is JOHN McCAIN who is to blame for not properly vetting his vice presidential nominee. I’m sure the McCAIN camp doesn’t want to hear that but just like the tagline for the website reads: You Can’t Handle The Truth.

POLITRICKS 2008: Smoke ‘Em If You Got ‘Em…

Now why the fuck is niggers shootin’ outside like someone promised them a free pack of menthols.

They better not be those Kool 100’s either.

There’s definitely a cause for celebration, but not only because lightskinned Blacks have finally emerged from the ruins of the Al B. Sure deity sitting on our mental mantles, keep in mind that OBAAMA also has a Black wife which never happens when you see successful men of color. Black women were always hot and classy, AND now they can be trophy wives too. This is a victory for all the ladies that have made the Kool-Aid, fried chicken, ribs and the arugula.

It could have almost not happened though.

The situation was dicey from the early numbers…

As you can see, OBAAMA and McCAIN were neck and neck with the popular votes although OBAAMA was given the lead in the electoral college.

I enjoyed a delicious spinach roll from Raimo Pizza on Merrick Ave.

Still no big surprises on the board. This red state to blue state comparison annoys me since the popular vote is too close to call.

I downloaded, er, received my review copy of the latest Q-Tip album, ‘The Renaissance’.

11pm
Incredible! OBAAMA has McCAIN doubled up in the electoral college but across America they are almost tied.

Shit! My download doesn’t work. Does anyone know who manages Q-Tip?

The glass slipper apparently fits…

And UnKut comes thru with the beats as always.

It wasn’t a fancy slogan that motivated everyone to come out today. It was hard work from the ground up. From all the people who tirelessly grind on the grass roots level of organizing with information. Everyone that came out today restored the promise and the potential of America. Now is the time to get back to work.

I believe again…

TATS = UNEMPLOYABLE

tat face

Peep this next reactionary shit going down. People are being discriminated against for having tattoos.

Cover up tattoos, some employees told

This shit is why I don’t believe that terrorists hate the freedoms of the U.S. How many different ways do we find to discriminate against each other? If you are Black you are fucked the fuck up, if you are poor, muslim, old, disabled, retarded and now, if you have tattoos. WTF?!?

I never got into the tattoo shit because it required a level of commitment that I couldn’t muster, but who the fuck cares about tattoos? America, you need to stop this bullshit.
