That my friends is called a crack habit. Asscrack, as it were.
I’m a little hurt for SPITZER’s wife who couldn’t be that emotionally obtuse could she? Nahh, but she played her position so that homeboy could become governor or president or chef at Cipriani. I feel bad for the daughters too, but they will have to use this shit to rise up and do some good from this. Maybe a home for wayward call girls.
I always liked sluts more than hos. Sluts will give it up for free. Free is love. Paying for shit is a bad move because it exploits the relationship and removes the love. If a female doesn’t want to have sex with someone she shouldn’t do it for any money. I’m not about to throw the girls under the bus with this being Women’s History Month and all, and I hate when someone calls prostitution the world’s oldest profession.
Women need to shut that talk down quickfast.
I’m sure the oldest profession was to keep from having your ass eaten by lions, and not on no tossed salad tip either. Think about this too. There had to be another job that paid someone enough money to go to a hooker in the first place. After you finished your day at the rock quarry and after paying child support for the baby caveman maybe then you could go get the club and have some fun. Which makes me wonder if that’s why Fred Flinstone cheated on Wilma with Betty Rubble?
Despite himself, his craven selfishness, and his lust for power the governor has gone from being a real life caricature of Dudley Do Right into a real life human being. Flawed and pitiful.
Bigger than all that philosophical shit is the fact that the governor was on some super trick shit by going in on this racket for at least six years to the tune of eighty thousand dollars. He needs to resign now before we find out about all the sick shit that he was making this poor little rich girl do to him.
It’s a shame to me that I have to turn my thoughts away from my dysfunctional lust for sneakers to think about the dysfunctional lust of sneaky politicians.
If you haven’t heard or read the news already let me keep it simple. The New York governor, ELIOT SPITZER, was caught with his pants around his ankles, literally.
Shit is fucked the fuck up in the statehouse right now on several different levels. The steely public image of the governor is shattered. Mainly, because now there is this ironic hypocrisy factor. The governor came into office from the vantage point of a lawman who would shake the trees to vett out corruption and restore integrity to the governor’s mansion. SPITZER’s resume and reputation were unassailable. He had made his career on attacking the establishment and dismantling the entrenched, embedded old boy network from New York City to Albany.
This brought a lot of haters to SPITZER’s doorstep. Quiet as shit is kept I think that even people within the Democratric party were shook by SPITZER. His hard charging approach would turn over every stone and would stop at nothing, even if that meant throwing fellow party members under the bus. You have to walk easy once that becomes your reputation. I wouldn’t be one bit surprised if someone who had access to his ear set him up for this fall.
I certainly don’t excuse ELIOT SPITZER for his immoral actions, but they appear so sloppy and mismanaged I have to wonder who put this shit together. From his experience as the state attorney general, the governor knows how hot the phone lines are in these post-911 days. From his experience as the top state prosecutor he also knows about upscale escort services and how they operate. I’m not saying that he still wouldn’t avail himself of these services, but his movement should have been on some governor level shit.
This mess was hell’a sloppy like a KWAME KILPATRICK text message bundle. My opinion is that his own inner circle was infiltrated by the party machinery in order to remove him from office before he uncovered some big money shenanigans. Keep in mind that there is a culture of immorality that follows political power so believe that no one in elected office is vice free. I just think that ELIOT SPITZER had scared the shit out of a cabal of wealthy dudes and homeboy had to be given the political version of a ‘Ho Sit Down’.
Editor’s note: In terms of the Blackosphere, I consider the Humanity Critic to be my mortal enemy ever since he jacked my swagger and began posting his baby pictures. However I have put aside my perpetual disdain to run this drop from him posted at VIBE.com because it is spot on as to why Democratic candidates can’t win the big ones. You can’t have a king without a kingmaker. word to RON BROWN. Plus, in all honesty, there’s just a better chance that OBAAMA’s folks are reading DP Dot Com. True story.
I’m not a Campaign Manager, but I play one on this blog…
If Barack Obama’s quest to become the Democratic nominee for President has taught me anything thus far, its that the last thing on earth I should be doing, outside of trying to rehabilitate a room full of female sex addicts – is acting as anyones campaign manager. When Obama failed to attack his opponents in some of the earlier debates, I exhaustively screamed at the screen as if I was watching a slasher flick at an all black theater – at the time I was convinced that he lacked a killer instinct, and because of that Dennis Kucinich would probably be around longer than him. Ok, I was wrong about that. After he lost New Hampshire, it was my contention that Obama should go the Tonya Harding route and kneecap former president Clinton for belligerently going around and distorting his record like a drunken frat-boy – he more or less did that, and we haven’t seen much of Bubba since South Carolina. Then when John McCain used his wife, the seldom heard from Cindy McCain, to score cheap political points by saying that she loved America – a direct response to the Michelle Obama “..for the first time I’m proud of my country” non-story that the press regurgitated because of their fundamental laziness. I was convinced that Obama would have Michelle introduce him before he gave his Wisconsin victory speech, before handing over the microphone to her husband she would mention Mrs. McCain’s pathetic grandstanding and tell the crowd that her husband represents a new type of politics. Obviously that didn’t happen.
So every week, depending on the political developments of the preceding days – I’m going to give Barack Obama some campaign advice that I hope he’ll find beneficial. If not, I’m sure him and his staff can sit back and laugh at my suggestions – and openly wonder how they can take the advice of a career alcoholic who once had sex at his fathers wake.
Campaign Surrogates, Go Big or Go home!
One thing I noticed when it comes to Hillary Clinton’s surrogates, is that all of them feel extremely comfortable executing talking points – mercilessly attacking Obama on a plethora of issues as if it was second nature to them. Obama’s surrogates on the other hand, their collective judgement possibly clouded by the “Clinton mystique” – never go for the jugular, and whenever they do get critical they preface their remarks with “..with all due respect to Senator Clinton..” No, No, No. My advice for the Obama campaign, heading into next week – is to get some surrogates out there who aren’t scared to throw some serious punches – Obama can still perpetuate the “hope” message if his surrogates are willing to figuratively slice Achilles tendons and choke out Hillary’s presidential arguments with spare telephone chords.
Play the Marriage Certificate Card
Hillary has been saying all along that while she is the one with experience, all Obama has is “that one speech he gave in 2002” – its time for the Obama campaign to poke proverbial holes in said experience. Being that Ms. Clinton held no security clearance, and the laundry list of issues that she claimed to have had a hand in during the 90’s is disingenuous at best – its time for Obama to challenge her on this particular front. He should say, “While I have shown the proper judgment it takes to be commander in chief, by her vote authorizing the war in Iraq Hillary has not – matter of fact, she has the audacity to think that showing America her Marriage Certificate is experience enough. I don’t think so.”
Obliterate the “Dream Ticket” talk
The Clinton Campaign, Hillary and a handful of her surrogates – have made it their business this week to push this “Dream Ticket” theme. Obama has to aggressively knock this down for two Reasons: 1) This type of talk might de-energize some of Obama’s voters, giving them a false sense of security that regardless what happens – Obama will be on the ticket anyway. and 2)Mrs. Clinton has said, repeatedly, that her and John McCain have “crossed the threshold” needed to become Commander-in-Chief – suggesting that Barack Obama is vastly unqualified. Obama needs to call her on this – suggest that her attacks lack substance and intellectual honesty, because how can he be grossly unprepared on one hand but you wouldn’t mind the guy being your Vice President on the other.
Editor’s note: With the cRap Music Fantasy league stuck in a stalemate this fiscal quarter, El Gringo Colombiano antes up his $.02 to save the US economy from itself.
You see the United States has been in a trade deficit since 1971, with over $100 billion annual deficits in most years since 1984. Not surprisingly, G Dubbz has made the situation 2x worse, with the then record deficit of $379 billion in 2000 mushrooming to upwards of $700B in each of the last three years.
Some smart-dumb economists say a perpetual trade deficit is good. But I never got that memo along with some economists and non-economists with COMMON SENSE who also share my view. How can any economic entity be operating at a loss for 37 consecutive years?!
An individual, or family cannot operate at a loss for more than a few years without wiping out their savings, going deep in debt, and subsequently being forced to declare bankruptcy.
Even in the info-tech, dot-com boom (circa 1996) startup companies could not operate at a loss for more than say 5 years without going bankrupt, or being acquired by a competitor for a deep discount.
Fortune 500 companies can’t lose money for more than a few quarters without massive layoffs and CEO/mgmt team firings.
Even soverign countries, like Argentina, are never allowed to do this. The US gets away with it, since the US dollar is the global favorite reserve currency of our main exporters, such as China and the Arab Oil exporters like Saudi Arabia.
I would like the smart-dumb economists who favor these perpetual deficits to point out ANY example of ANY economic entity (person, company, or country) that operated at a loss for 37 consecutive years, in ALL OF WORLD HISTORY. I doubt it’s ever happened!
Eventually, the US will have to do one(1) or more of the following problematic actions to balance the trade deficit…
1. Use tariffs to make the US a primarily domestic economy Problem: The government has to pick & choose which products and, or industries to protect. The way the US political system in recent years has been dominated by special interests, there’s the likely chance this process will be corrupt and far from optimal for the US economy.
2. Pick a few cutting edge high-tech industries, such as genomics, green energy equipment, nanotechnology, etc, that the US might try to be a global export leader in and subsidize those industries heavily in the hopes that these exports will balance out the imports Problem: It may be impossible to create enough exports from a few such industries, because the labor cost advantage of ChIndia. Plus ChIndia’s increasing ability to innovate in high-tech markets by itself.
3. Deflate the US Dollar to make US exports more competitive and US imports more costly Problem: Duhh! The obvious! This will cause serious inflation and will become an overt tax on most US Citizens, since most of us US citizens’ assets are 100% invested in dollar related assets such as a home, US stocks, & USD’s themselves in Certificates of Deposits, money market accounts and plain ol’ passbook savings accounts. Personally, I don’t want my dollars to be worth say .5 as much 5 years from now since they have already become significantly weaker during the G Dubbz regime.
IMHO, Buffet’s idea of Import Certificates is superior to these actions and any other idea I’ve heard thus far. The gist of Import Certificates goes like this…
1. To import “stuff” (goods or services) in the US, you need to buy an Import Certificate
2. Import Certificates will be limited to the amount of exports, hence balancing the US trade deficit
3. US Exporters will be given Import Certificates equal to the amount of stuff they export, which they can sell in a liquid financial market like stocks
The effect will be that US Exporters will be encouraged and US Importers will be discouraged.
Import Certificates will work like a tariff, however the “invisible hand of the free market” will decide which “stuff” gets tariffs.
Which jobs will come back to the US? Clothing manufacturing or software engineering? The Fed Gov’t will not decide it, but the market will, based on the marginal utility of having to pay X% of the cost of their stuff for Import Certificates.
I think one immediate effect of this policy will be to help the rural American economy. I also imagine that US corporations won’t offshore the call center to India because they can’t afford the Import Certificates. Yet on the other hand they can’t afford the labor cost of an Atlanta or a Dallas. Their solution: Put their customer service center in the economically devastated Flint, Michigan.
I really hope Barack Obama gets elected and brings in Buffet as Treasury Secretary to implement the Import Certificate policy.

How long is America going to stand by while this BARACK OBAAMA beats up on HILLARY CLINTON? I’ve been half expecting her to yell out “Rape!” in her desperation for delegates.
Watching ’60 Minutes’ the other evening disgusted me. Do you realize some people think that come November they will have a choice between OBAAMA, McCAIN and CLINTON!?!
