The House of Representatives issuing an apology to black folks for slavery? I just got wind of it and they can keep their damned apology, I want my 40 acres and my mule that was promised to my great-great-great-great grandmother for the half century she picked cotton in the hot Texas sun and never got paid for it (we ain't gonna mention the ass whoopings she endured, the children that were sold off, or repeated sexual assault that was never prosecuted) ! If they ain't got my acres and my ass, I'll settle for three mortgage payments and a full tank of gas! For everything she went through, that's the LEAST the government can do!!!   more »

with the two year olds in my play group who have private tutors! These kids are sharp--I'm talking they are doing fractions and reading chapter books. So yesterday, I decided to try and teach Andrew who his world leaders were. He knows Barack Obama, John McCain and George W. Bush. I should have left it there, I pushed my baby to the limits when I tried to teah him who Condaleeza Rice was. It was especially hard for him to keep it all straight while he was eating smothered pork chops, rice and okra. Now, when you ask my two year old who the Secretary of State is, his response is "Rice and Gravy"!   more »
