A Bit of Deconstruction

Instead of calling it the Patriot Act, lets call it legalized COINTELPRO.

Malan Breton and Ricki Lake's The Business of Being Born

Ricki Lake Rocks "Business of Being Born"

I must say I am quite excited about Malan Breton's new collection. I can't wait to see it. He says his inspiration came from Deneuve in the 60s. Very interesting stuff. You have to love Deneuve....don't you wish you could have been one of the wives of Roger Vadim...

Patti Labelle: New Day- Repost

Every morning, I just have to listen to my MJB!

The victims of Hurricane Katrina have filed a lawsuit against the United States Government for $4,000,000,000,000,000- that is 4 Quadrillion dollars. And I hope they get every penny of it.

Gloria Steinem's Article on This Presidential Election Cycle

Gloria Steinem gives a brilliant assessment of this presidential race between Hillary and Barack. She is saying here exactly what I have said. I encourage everyone to read this article.

Chavez Negotiates Release of Political Prisoners!

Read the story here.

I wonder what the machinations of the U.S. governments are against Nicauragua and what this Eric Volz person has to do with it. It seems very fishy. Viva Ortega!

Barack Obama's Speech in New Hampshire was Very Inspiring

What New Hampshire proves--as far as I can see it, is that this will be a pretty tight race through and through--and all of the pundit-talk that is going on really isnt worth a damn. I still believe that Obama will come out on top of this race--and that the historical trend rests on his side. I encourage all to listen to his speech.

I heard a couple of days ago on Democracy Now that for the first time since the 19th Century, Britain has a higher standard of living than the United States. Imagine the ramifications of that.

(Im)Possible

Cinderella

Impossible,
for a plain yellow pumpkin to become a golden carriage.
Impossible,
for a plain country bumpkin and a prince to join in marriage,
And four white mice will never be four white horses!
Such fol-der-ol and fid-dle-dy dee of course, is--- Impossible!

But the world is full of zanies and fools
Who don't believe in sensible rules
And won't believe what sensible people say.
And because these daft and dewey-eyed dopes keep building up impossible hopes,
Impossible things are happening every day.

Impossible!
Impossible!
Impossible!
Impossible!
Impossible!
Impossible!
Impossible!

It's Possible!
For a plain yellow pumpkin to become a golden carriage!
It's Possible!
For a plain country bumpkin and a prince to join in marriage!

And four white mice are easily turned to horses!
Such fol-der-ol and fid-dle-dy dee of course, is
Quite Possible! It's possible!

For the world is full of zanies and fools
Who don't believe in sensible rules
And won't believe what sensible people say

And because these daft and dewey-eyed dopes keep
building up Impossible hopes
Impossible things are happening every day!

It's Possible!
It's Possible!
It's Possible!
It's Possible!
It's Possible!
It's Possible!
It's Poss-i-ble!

God Bless the Child

Billie Holiday

Them thats got shall get
Them thats not shall lose
So the Bible said and it still is news
Mama may have, papa may have
But God bless the child thats got his own
Thats got his own

Yes, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets dont ever make the grade
Mama may have, papa may have
But God bless the child thats got his own
Thats got his own

Money, youve got lots of friends
Crowding round the door
When youre gone, spending ends
They dont come no more
Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But dont take too much
Mama may have, papa may have
But God bless the child thats got his own
Thats got his own

Mama may have, papa may have
But God bless the child thats got his own
Thats got his own
He just worry bout nothin
Cause hes got his own

Those in the know say that the U.S. is looking for war with Iran. I wonder if it's even to the point of fabrication?

Music Royalty

Since the dawn of American entertainment, highly accomplished muscians, singers, and other entertainers have been given monikers that distinguish them from the rest in their fields. There is of course,Duke Ellington, "the Duke," Count Basie," Bessie Smith, who was the Empress of the Blues, Mamie Smith who was the Queen of the Blues, Ella Fitzgerald, the First Lady of Song, Billie Holiday, who of course was Lady Day and who of course is regarded as the finest jazz vocalist of all time. There was Sarah Vaughan who was "The Divine One" and Dinah Washington was also known as "The Queen of the Blues." There are some today who have given themselves or who have recieved titles. In this post, along with paying tribute to other music royalty,I will bestow some titles of my own titles on those I see fit.
