Colorado’s Kicking Politricks by MAXINE

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

Editor’s note: MAXINE reps for the home team with this drop. Boulder stand up! Only in a lawless state would the politician be allowed to openly physically assault the press

And if you feel me put your hands up (hood)
My hood niggas can you stand up (I’m So Hood)
If you not from here you can walk it out,
And you not hood if you don’t know what I’m talkin ’bout
(DJ Khaled featuring T-Pain – ‘I’m So ‘Hood’)

Fuck with Douglas Bruce. I dare you. I double dare you to walk up on that motherfucker and ask him a question. Any question. Go ahead, say one thing to him he doesn’t like, you piss ass motherfuckers. Who said cats from Colorado was soft? He wakes up in the morning, just to slap a bitch. What you know about that El Paso county? You don’t know NOTHING! Douglas Bruce. You don’t tell him, he tells you!! Crab ass bastards!

Douglas Bruce is a politician from Colorado Springs, CO but the reason you know who he is, and the reason I’m writing about him today is because he’s the only cat about that real business. He’s the Lil Wayne of the Colorado political game. Wayne will murder babies, Bruce will kick the shit out of you for attempting to take his picture ( It’s also widely speculated that he’s schizophrenic but it could just be the Easter pink Sprite). He don’t give a fuck. His crazy ass went to jail in 1995 for eight days on a contempt of court citation after going off on a judge who was condemning him about the unkempt properties he owned.

That boy Shawn Corey didn’t smack the shit out of the inspector that gave his 40/40 club a failing grade. Kanye didn’t shove the paparazzo that showed up to his crib, and Bow didn’t take the opportunity to cuff Toure when he was talking slick out his mouth. My point? Your favorite rappers (I know Bow Wow is a stretch, but walk with me) ain’t got shit on that cat Doug Bruce from the Rocky Mountain State.

How many of you are willing to kick out the knee cap of a complete and total stranger for getting it wrong? Try it, walk into the Starbucks tomorrow morning and grab the Barista up in his collar for putting too much foam in your Venti Chai. Throw a carton of eggs across the conveyor belt in the Trader Joe’s. Stupid ass bag boys. Asking you if you want paper or plastic. This is 2008, don’t ask stupid ass questions!

Douglas Bruce laid leather to ass on Monday January 14th because a photographer from the Rocky Mountain News took his picture during the morning prayer. Bruce reportedly asked the photographer not to take his picture during the pledge of allegiance. Said photographer thought it’d be a good idea to snap his pic while his head was bowed in reverence of a loving and merciful God. Bruce took offense to this and went ballistic. According to Bruce, it was disrespectful to have one’s picture taken during prayer. Eh, I can kind of dig it. I mean, Jesus did say get into your closet and pray where no one can see you right? Loosely speaking but you get the point.

Conspiracy theorist that I am, I think Mitt Romney gave that cat some money and a bottle of pills and said, “Go, be free, wherever thy feet will take you!” Douglas Bruce is gearing up for Michigan too you see. Mitt Romney is not doing well in the polls people. That half-dead John McCain is calling his bluff all over the place and it’s not looking good. Romney’s people are
sick of being torn down for “negative attack ads” They got together and said, “You want attacks? We’ll give you attacks!”

When asked about the incident, Bruce chose to quote John 8:32 as an answer. You know, the one about the truth setting one free. With the Republican primary in Michigan underway and Romney struggling in the polls, Republicans need a swift kick in the ass if the religious right, the ones with the power anyway are going to make some headway. Sorry McCain fans, but he ain’t gonna win. It’s just not happening. Mitt Romney’s soldiers are afoot.

The weak or the strong, who got it goin’ on?

Gentrify My Love…

gents

I hear people bitch and moan all the time about all the new folks moving into the ‘hood because real estate prices are cheap enough for folks with some long family money to buy shit. I’m sure that all the white buying property in Bed-Stuy and Crown Heights didn’t make their money from owning slaves. Some of these folks had to get rich by selling their Indian reservations, er, rather their mid-western property claims to a Wal-mart of a mega-church while some folks simply raided the bank accounts of the Chinese that were forced into internment camps during the Depression.

What I’m saying is that you shouldn’t hate these new fangled inner-city pioneers the same way you shouldn’t hate on their forefathers that settled the midwest and gave smallpox-laden blankets to the injuns. I don’t know too many people of color with at least the brains of a pair of sneakers that would look to live in Brooklyn one block west of Utica Avenue.

tha 'hood

Use this handy map from Open Accessible Space Information System to look at the location of the luxury condominiums that were developed for the new millenium urban colonists.

tha 'hood

1) Luxury Condominiums
Who would have thought about LUXURY condos appearing on St. John’s Place between Schenectady and Utica Avenues? Has Brooklyn become Bizarro World? Not so much.

A huge selling point for those prison like facade condominiums is the outpost settlement of an active fire house directly across the street.

tha 'hood

2) NYC Fire Dept. Installation
Almost as secure as a police station, this is one of the beacons of the ‘hood.

But wait, what is that diagonally across the street from the fire house?

tha 'hood

3) Tha’ ‘Hood
I’m not sure how much those luxury condominiums are priced at, but if you thought that being across the street from a fire house was a benefit you need look no further than fifty feet away.

Give some credit to those rich fools who still thought this was a good investment.

Cry Me A River…

t.o.

Everyone is filled with tears right now from TERRELL OWENS to BRITNEY SPEARS to HILLARY CLINTON. I don’t believe all these crybabies are giving us anything more than alligator tears. There are plenty of people with legitimate reasons to open their tear ducts. Let’s give those folks some shine here at the site.

tejada MIGUEL TEJADA
You see that MARION JONES caught a bad one from her bogus testimony on steroids. What do you think the government has in store for Chico Escuela? “Beisbol has benn berry, berry good to me.” Prison? Not so much…

boston Boston
What city could have the best professional sports teams in the three major American sports yet still have the dumbest fucking populace in the country. It’s time for Bostonians to stop effing each other in the A and watch some ‘Aqua Teen Hunger Force’. It’s a cartoon Boston. Please kill yourselves after the Super Bowl.

stockbroker Stockbrokers
At what point do these money changing scumbags start jumping from their office windows? It won’t be soon enough. Kiss your retirement goodbye. Fuck a 401k, I’m buying myself a coffin.

iraq mother Mothers In Iraq
Blackwater and friends are still in the building. That fact makes you ladies the biggest losers for the fifth year in a row.

Economic Justice For The Bodega…

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

bo de ga

The bodegas are ground zero in the battle for socio-economic justice in the ‘hood. If you have the means to consume goods elsewhere you prah’lee should. If you come across anything remotely healthy in the bodega then you best believe you are going to pay a premium for that item.

Today we are going to take a look at Tropicana juice products. They distribute all kinds of citrus juice based products. Nothing is more popular for me than their ‘pulp free’ orange juice. I don’t care for the pulp inside of my juice products since the pulp material usually means less of the fructose laden sugar water.

o.j.

Here’s the catch now… Tropicana’s distributors are delivering 14oz. juice containers to the bodegas while charging these stores the same unit prices. That is less than 25% of the content of their former 20oz. cardboard container.

Even the price for the 16oz. bottle of Tropical Fantasy mango drink has been raised to 59 cents. What’s next? Orange drink ‘quarter water’ costing 30 cents? The ‘hood needs economic justice.
