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.

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’.

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…

POLITRICKS 2008: Voting And Dying…

Well here we are today, on the precipice of forever…

I refuse to look down, keeping my head to the sky…

Mainly to give thanks to all those who have come before me. I know they are watching us all. Today is more than just a soundtrack for me. It is the realization of the dream that my father had for me and my brother. That my grandfather had for my mother and her sisters. It is the dream that my great-grandmother had as an immigrant from St.Kitts. To be part of America. To be an American. Oh to commune with them again will be heaven, but for now the crisp sunshine on my face will have to suffice.

The work has only just begun my friends. It will require a yeoman’s effort to remove ourselves from the division that has been fostered over centuries of supremacy. Along with the back-breaking task of restoring an economic system that values the workers and the actual producers, instead of only the CEO and the shareholders. This isn’t the rise of socialism either, but the realization that we all have some value. We can’t continue to undermine the farm laborers or the sanitation workers because they are as important to the human ecosystem as doctors and teachers. And doctors and teachers must once again be respected.

There is so much work we have to do now. We have to amend our laws that promote the unnecessary and excessive incarceration of Black and Brown youth. The architects that design prisons also design schools. The same contractors that build prisons also build schools. The same vendors that furnish prisons also make furniture for schools. We have to change our values to education. We have to make those values valuable again. This isn’t socialism or communism. This is futurism and Americanism. Why can’t we be a world leader again in intellectualism as opposed to militaristic intelligence? Being the smart kid on the block doesn’t mean that we won’t get into fights but Lord knows we have enough arms to swing back.

I just can’t help thinking about all the people that I love who I wish were here to enjoy this moment. For all the the hard they put in. For all the indignities they suffered. For all the times they cried. For all the LOVE they gave to EVOLution. I dedicate today to them and I will rightfully celebrate their memory with all of those alive today. Our work has only just begun.

It’s getting down to the wire as both campaigns are pulling out all the stops. Let there be no vote uncounted in this election. If JOHN McCAIN wants the regular guy votes then BARACK OBAAMA will get the “special people” ballots.

LET’s GET READY TO RUMMMMMBLLLLLLLE!

Before you cast your vote on Tuesday be mindful to give thanks to George Walker Bush.

Without his eight years of tragic mismanagement we probably wouldn’t even care about voting in this election.
