Plea, wat u be axin’ me fo? Maff talkin’ be har n stuff…   If we paid both Sheila Jackson Lee and Hank “Tippy Guam” Johnson in rainbow skittles perhaps we could convince them to go on tour promoting Affirmative Action.   South Carolina supporter Alvin Greene will coordinate logistics and Walter Sutton can drive the bus.

WASHINGTON DC – Representative Sheila Jackson Lee (D., Texas) claimed that the United States had a $5.6 trillion surplus at the end of the Clinton administration Tuesday.

“Remember, we had a $5.6 trillion surplus in 2000 – 2001 from the Clinton administration,” Jackson said in the interview while discussing fiscal cliff negotiations. (more…)

The New York Times is attempting to save costs by implementing another round of newsroom staff cuts.   According to a memo sent by executive editor Jill Abramson this morning, the newspaper is looking for 30 buyouts among newsroom staff. Over the next few days, Abramson wrote, certain employees will be asked to accept voluntary severance packages. (Newspaper Guild members also have the option to apply for a buyout even if they’re not among those contacted by the NYT.) If the quota isn’t met through buyouts, Abramson will be “forced to go to layoffs,” she said. (more…)

That’s a Treeper…

msNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry went on a ridiculous diatribe yesterday about America not being a safe place for “young black men” because white people are refusing to be attacked by them.    Same insufferable logic surrounding “The Safari Principle” best identified in the mantra of George Zimmerman should not have gotten out of his car.

THE SAFARI PRINCIPLE  – George Zimmerman left his vehicle, oh my!

The hidden subtext could be construed as the following… In modern America, a prudent citizen should know to remain in their vehicle, doors locked, windows up, when there are young black males known to be in the vicinity.

What does this say about our society?

Are we living in a drive through Safari Park?

If we get out of our vehicles we deserve what we get and shouldn’t blame the animals, much less shoot them in self-defense?

People like Melissa Harris-Perry and Natalie Jackson are foaming at the mouth calling anyone who profiles risk, based on behavior, a racist.   While at the same time saying that we are all at fault for not following the rules they wrote for us on the Safari Park safety brochure.

Hey jackwagon’s homicide is the #1 cause of death for black males between the age of 15 and 34;   And guess what?  94% of all black young men killed are killed by other young black men….. your strawman arguments are not only ridiculous – THEY’RE WRONG.

Heck, she probably can’t be any worse than the prior political fundraising wench he appointed to represent him in Denmark.  That woman was such an insufferable, incompetent witch the employees begged for transfers to Iraq/Afghanistan embassies.

WASHINGTON DC – President Barack Obama is considering nominating Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of Vogue, to be either his next ambassador to the U.K. or France, as he looks to reward his biggest fundraisers with embassies that never seem out of fashion, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Wintour, 63, may have some competition for the London posting, with Matthew Barzun, the finance chairman of Obama’s presidential campaign, also interested in the job, officially known as ambassador to the Court of St. James’s, said the people, who requested anonymity. (more…)

Both attorneys appeared on AC360 tonight to discuss the latest photo of George Zimmerman…a high-resolution image showing Zimmerman with a bloody face and swollen nose.  The defense did not receive this photo until late last October, having previously been given only a rather grainy black and white photocopy of the original.

The New York City homeless man – whose gift of boots from an NYPD police officer became an online sensation – is back on the streets with no shoes.

The New York Times found him Sunday night wandering barefoot in Manhattan. The paper identified him as Jeffrey Hillman, formerly of South Plainfield, N.J.

Asked about the $100 all-weather boots Officer Larry DePrimo gave him on Nov. 14, Hillman says he’s hidden them because “they are worth a lot of money.”

He says he’s grateful for the gift, but he wants “a piece of the pie” because the photo was posted online “without permission.”  (more)

Black Agenda ?

WASHINGTON DC – Following a four-hour closed door meeting Monday, the leaders of four African-American advocacy groups emerged looking pleased to announce a collective wish list they plan to deliver to President Barack Obama for his second term.

The “black agenda,” as the groups have called their wish list on Twitter, starts with ensuring the fiscal cliff doesn’t disproportionately hurt black Americans. That’s something Marc Morial, president and CEO of the National Urban League, has worried about before. But Morial also listed five new priorities that came out of what he called Monday’s “historic gathering.” Those include: working for parity for blacks in education, health care and the economy; reforming the criminal justice system; and protecting and defending voting rights.
