Welcome Back Keith!

Keith Olbermann returns to MSNBC's Countdown tonight after his BS suspension without pay for three personal donations to Democratic candidates.

The outrage in liberal circle over his indefinite without pay suspension in light of the fact that Fox Pac gave $1 million to the Republican Governors Assn and relentlessly shilled for GOP candidates in this cycle led to over 3000,000 people signing an online petition to get him back on Countdown speaking truth to right-wing power and the beginning stages of a boycott against Comcast, the potential new owner of MSNNC if he wasn't.

Anyway Keith, glad to see you back on the air kicking conservafool behind and taking names.

Happy Birthday Rachel!

Today is the birthday of one of my fave political pundits and the bane of conservafools everywhere, Rachel Maddow. She was born in Castro Valley, CA on this date in 1973.

Happy birthday Rachel. May you continue to speak truth to power, and here's hoping that you do one day run for public office. The country could definitely use your PhD level intellect in passing common sense legislation that benefits all of us.

But it's also a lot of fun watching you take apart right wingers. too

TransGriot Blog Mission Statement

The TransGriot blog's mission is to become the griot of our community. I will introduce you to and talk about your African descended trans brothers and trans sisters across the Diaspora, reclaim and document our chocolate flavored trans history, speak truth to power, comment on the things that impact our trans community from an Afrocentric perspective and enlighten you about the general things that go on around me and in the communities that I am a member of.

--Mission Statement compiled January 2, 2011

The TransGriot Loves Comments

Feel free to leave comments on the posts. But bear in mind that you are guests in my cyberhome. As soon as I get to them, your comments are posted at my pleasure.

They will post as soon as I approve them, so no need to repeat sending them.

I strive to make it a safe zone for people to respectfully express themselves, but I have zero tolerance for hate speech, transphobic or blatantly disrespectful comments or ad spam.

I reserve the right to edit your comments for clarity or not post them at all if I deem them disrespectful, transphobic or racist.

TransGriot Speaking/Education Efforts Info

The TransGriot is available for speaking engagements, college lectures, panel discussions, media interviews, conferences or Trans 101 education efforts for your school, business or professional organizations.

For local Houston area, Texas or national events, you can e-mail me at transgriot@yahoo.com

For events outside the Houston metro area, I ask that my travel and lodging expenses be covered.

This is separate from my speaking fee.
