It’s been a while since I had one of these posts.  I was temporarily lulled into thinking there was nothing left to  really get me riled up anymore.  But of course, some bullshiggity comes up.  This time it’s courtesy of Psychology Today which apparently posted an article today entitled “Why Are Black Women Rated Less [...]

Late last summer my 2001 Mazda 626 ES quit me.  And by quit me, I mean the head gasket was cracked and the timing belt was broken.  I had been having some problems with it, but since I had less than 100,000 miles on it, I really didn’t expect such a dramatic death.  I could [...]

Rush Limbaugh announced that he would leave the U.S. if health care reform passed.  Well the time has come for Rush to move the hell on.  There is an internet collection afoot to raise money for Rush’s one-way ticket to Costa Rica (where they happen to have national health care).  You can follow this link [...]

Howard Stern said this week that there is no way Gabourey Sidibe, star of the independent film Precious and Academy Award Nominee, is too fat to have a career in Hollywood and that Oprah is a “filthy liar” for encouraging her. First of all, Stern should shut his skinny, stringy-haired trap. Just cause he’s a [...]
