Republican Woman

This is a song rewrite that I wish I'd come up with that I stumbled across while looking for some YouTube video.   It's rapped to the tune of 'American Woman' and skewers all those crazy Republican women we all know and loathe.

Enjoy!

Second Victoria C. White Murder Suspect Turns Himself In

The second suspect in the Victoria Carmen White killing in Maplewood, NJ turned himself in to the Newark Police late Sunday night according to NJ.com and Acting Essex County Prosecutor Robert Laurino.

23 year old Alrashim Chambers turned himself in at the Newark Police Department’s 4th precinct and is also being held at the Essex County Correctional Facility on a $1 million bond.    Marquise Foster surrendered while accompanied by an attorney on Saturday night.

In addition to facing murder and weapons charges, they are also being investigated for a possible additional charge of a bias crime.in the murder of 28 year old White.

 Now that both subjects are in custody, the next phase can begin in terms of gaining justice for Victoria.

The Election Homestretch For Our 2010 Trans Candidates

We've got a week to go to Election Day and several trans candidates  are working hard down the stretch stumping for votes, garnering positive media attention, getting endorsements,  hopefully getting a chance to debate the issues with their opponents, raising money and doing everything possible to come home with historic victories next Tuesday night.

Brittany Novotny is vying to become the first transperson ever elected to a state legislature, and is running a very competitive state House District 84 race against famed homophobic Oklahoma state Rep. Sally Kern.  

On the Left Coast we have Vicky Kolakowski running in California's Alameda County for a Superior Court judgeship and just across the Bay Theresa Sparks is running for San Francisco Supervisor.

Down in the president's home state we have Kim Coco Iwamoto, who became in 2006 the first transperson ever elected to statewide office, running for reelection to the Hawaii State Board of Education.

If you're fortunate enough to live in their states or the areas where they are running, please consider voting for them.   If you don't you can still help them by donating some cash for their election coffers.

GOP Is the New Black? Conservanegro Please!

While I was rolling home on Loop 610 eastward  past the Scott Street exit enroute from spending an enjoyable Sunday afternoon with my cousins out in Alief I passed the latest creation from the conservafool behind the false MLK billboard that made me do a double take.

The latest one states that 'GOP is the new Black'.   Really?   In what alternate universe?

It's more like 'GOP is the New Fascism'.

Thank God I'd had time to digest my food and have a few glasses of red wine to mellow me out before seeing that divorced from reality piece of  propaganda.

Did your cookie chomping behind not think Black peeps weren't paying attention for the last two years?   Unlike your easily bamboozled low information Tea Klux Klan followers, you can't sell those woof tickets to us.

Your party has openly disrespected the first African-American president, the First Lady and his family, made loud calls in predominately white forums where you can count the number or non-whites there on two hands to 'take our country back',  and every Black conservative running for office flaps his or her lips to parrot failed policies that the other 90% of us grounded in pragmatic reality oppose because they harm our community.

Apostle Claver and his GOP sellouts need to quit being house Negroes that loves their GOP massa and join the rest of us in the fields fighting the powers that be.

But no, they like being in the GOP big house with Michael Steele, Pat Buchanan and company too much.
