Yes. I feel the power growing and the glory surging through my veins. Buaaaahaaaahahaaaahaaaa. Wait! That was a Newcastle I slugged. I forgot. That stuff goes straight to my head. This is a test. To see if this might be all some kind of strange dream.
Dropped in Legal Insurrection just now and Bill Jacksobson has a video up of Al Sharpton interviewing Rachel Jeantel and he said it makes her look better. Than before. On Piers Morgan.
So right off the bat there is all that going against it. MSNBC, Morgan, Al Sharpton, the talking punpkin. All the things I already said a firm ,"no mas" to. My mind-editor, my personality-guard, the temperament-sentry, my internal peace-of-mind gendarme, my sturdy mechanical saturation valve all flew into activity but my I watched anyway. I was thinking, stay open, Mr Jacksobson said it makes her look good. See for yourself. I lasted a minute. It does no such thing. Nothing does. Every element is still pathetic. That minute reaffirmed my biases.
And Al Sharpton is 182 if he's a day. Someone over there said 59. They tore apart mummies that look better than that. Al Sharpton in sharper less leaner times where he explains, if you can stand it, how he manipulates media, but you know all of that already. Why aren't those stories covered, he asks? Indeed. I read there were four such shootings as Zimmermand did, in Chicago while the trial in Florida ran. Why drag Chicago into it? Because that is the style we are seeing.

A new tale for the asking.

LOL!
Okay so this reminds me of trying to watch Sharknado--I tried to watch, my mind wanted to watch--but I started feeling physically ill and my body rejected it.
I had to turn it off.
Kind of sorry I missed the barmaid who fell from a helicopter but didn't die because a shark swept up in the tornado swallowed her in mid air.
Hell that was hard to write.
Here if you wanna take a look--
Video
Sharknado in two minutes-
link to video
I think Sharknado and this Sharpton thing could signal the denouement.
When the camera pans to Sharpton, look at how his suit hangs on him. He's skin & bones now.
I don't think this is just weight loss. To my untrained eye (and if you're a doctor, please chime in to correct me), he looks like he's got kidney problems. When your kidneys go, you can't keep weight on, and your skin gets that tight & sallow look.
I'm off to go look at this Sharpton thing just to see if I can last longer than Chip Ahoy--it feels like a challenge or somethin'.
Okay great looks like most are off to bed and I actually got a headache trying to listen to the Sharpton thing.
I actually hit the Zimmerman Wall about eight months ago.
If a Liberal tells you that you might be a racist, one way to hit the kill switch on the convo is to reply:
"You could be right."
Sharknado might be the jump the shark moment for Global Warming and maybe this Zimmerman trial might be the jump the Sharptom moment for The Race Card.
Naaa, who am I kidding?
Al does not look well.
If I hear one more person say Zimmerman caused it because he got out of the car, I'm gonna shoot someone myself. He got out of the car and walked on the street. That's it. Didn't say anything, didn't threaten anyone, didn't even approach Martin. Then he turned back and was walking to his car. Makes you just wanna go up and beat the shit out of him doesn't it? I don't care who he is, a cop, some guy looking for a lost dog, or some dude stoned on weed and doritos. He needs his face punched in and his head pounded into the cement and that gay-ass cracker needs it now. Hey Rachel, watch this.
Stumps have feelings too, ya know.
We photographer-types try to avoid the photographic memes that gone trite, such as, "Hey look, I'm pushing over the leaning tower of Pisa, and, I'm squishing your head! The radio tower is on your hat. The fish is wearing a fez. Sally is sliding out of my nose! The tree grows out of the stump.
It's raining. Raining! It was raining torrentially when I challenged the guys in the van, so that bit was most effective. The rain held us up. Tied up traffic in fact. Floods all over the place. One guy was late, and that's all we heard about. Then drove for miles right through it. Emergency vehicles flashing by three times. So the rain. And Travon was in it pulling the Family Circus come straight home, between houses dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot casually. In no hurry at all. In the rain.
So he sticks out. And the neighborhood watcher notices. That is the type of guy I want around. He'd feed my dog if I asked. Watch the fish. And do a good job. He was communicating with the police and did what they said. He followed the perp and returned to his car as directed.
I like the rain too.
I like the way it disguises my movements and sounds and casts a shroud over everything. Nevermind the wet. Turn back, take cover, stoop in the soaked bushes, stretch my athletic prowess, leap out and ambush a mark. It's slick, we slide, tumble. Get physically intimate. Smash heads. Rain is cool.
Just testing whether or not I can comment...
Agree with those who have said the "rev" looks bad--I hadn't seen a picture of him until the other day--he looks gaunt and haggard. All that race hustling must be taking a toll on him.
So help me God, I mean this in the best possible way. I. damn it. do. Regards, L+reader_iam
That said, where so many are as against where I am continues to mean a different direction more likely to be pursued by me in a fashion more off line, less on, in general. It's an inexorable thing, at least for a foreseeable while. (That doesn't preclude an occasion slip, though I have taken steps to limit such.)
All best wishes, as sincerely imaginable,to anyone who'd appreciate that--in general,I guess, but most specifically to Lem, Freeman Hunt, Chip Ahoy, Paddy O, and to whom...well, who knows?--whomever else pops up as a poster amidst the evolution of this site.
I wish you luck and also stuff more important.
I don't like watching people if I have to feel embarrassed for them. I don't know if I want to avoid the feelings I have or if I genuinely feel bad for them or if it's just a bone deep scandinavian adaptation where Not Looking and Pretending Not to See is the way people are afforded privacy while stuck in a single room lodge together for 6 months of winter with 20 other people.
Synova--that plus lutefisk explains a whole lot about Scandinavians (insert Sven and Ole Joke here)
"If I hear one more person say Zimmerman caused it because he got out of the car, I'm gonna shoot someone myself."
I've got a finger macro that says:
"If Trayvon Martin had the right to wander in the rain at night then SO DID George Zimmerman have a right to wander in the rain at night.
On the other hand Stacy McCain has been explaining that if Trayvon had gotten arrested instead of simply expelled from school to make the Dade County Sheriff's youth crime stats look good... Trayvon would be alive today.
It's a game that can be played without real limit all the way back to... if either of their fathers had only used a condom...
...where so many are as against where I am...
Jeez, this should be:
...where so many are, as against where I am,...
How ironic, when one thinks of it: What I need is more comma, less online.
Otherwise, let it stand.
Addendum.
This is why I gotta get off it. Don't wanna go back there.
You woke me up with all yer infernal racket. Pipe down, turn off those lights and get back to bed.
Good old Al - pumpkin head Al -reminds me of Good old Slow Joe Biden. Even though they're evil, they're both good-natured and dumb its hard to dislike them.
Where as Chuckie Shumer looks like a comic book villain, Pumpkin-head Al and Slow-Joe look some one you could have a beer with.
Chip, glad you have another place to hang your hat.
I thank you for the use of your hall, all the same.

So I'm reading, and reading, and reading this post, and I'm thinking to myself: "This is kind of weird. Lem seems to have changed somehow."
And then I get to the bottom and I see Chip Ahoy and I go, "Ha!"
And now, having had the time to ponder the ramifications of it all, I say, "Good!"
I wonder if Holder, Sharpton, et al can keep this alive through the 2014 mid-terms.
The Black vote made a difference in states that that Obama won with low margins. The Martin case was the perfect base motivator and was used accordingly.
They are worried about a Republican Senate, and are trying to beat this dead horse for a while longer.
Al Sharpton was a 'community organizer' and in the golden age of community organizers, they gave him a TV show. I just can't get over it -- they gave this guy a TV show. Well, come to think of it, why not. They gave the other community organizer the keys to the country.
Al Sharpton has a job, and Paula Deen doesn't. Yikes!!
The black community is poor and illiterate because they listen to Sharpton and Jackson instead of Cosby.
Sharpton and Jackson are wealthy & powerful because they keep their "community" in the hole.
oh hi!
According to MSDNC, it's illegal to get out of your truck.
April!
Glad you're here.
Mebbe the US needs to do a Hunger Games or The Lottery thingy where some hapless kid of each race gets killed as a sacrifice to the Progressive Gods of Balkanization and Victimhood.
Call them Baal and Vicky for short.
Anywho, random picks, then TV monitors their every moment until a good scapegoaty death.
Hell, if we're gonna go barbarian, let's do it right.
P.S. Do KidsTheseDays still get assigned to read The Lottery?
All of a sudden the blog changed names!
Which bathroom does it use?
Either way, a good choice, Lem.
Hannity could not muster shutting his ex NAACP guest with evidence when he went off on his own about what could have been scenarios. The other guest, you know we all defended at one time, Ben Carson was talking PC, talking from both sides of his mouth.
I am waiting for someone like this woman to take the microphone away from all the Sharptons, Jacksons, and the rest. Then there may be progress and a promise of good life for an entire generation of Black people.
@pogo
thanks.
Hi Synova, if you see this, please check ARts!
Hi Pogo!
Great space, Lem! Thank you for hosting us.
The name change but the concept remains the same.
We want to have a place for commenting.
In an email exchange with Freeman she said "Thank you so much for creating a new comment home!"
I thought, that's exactly what the place should be called. and my Picard said ... Make it so!
It's more than Sharpton doing it.
The whole MSM is doing it.
No amout of evil offsets eyeballs to sell to advertisers.
AprilApple,
The black community is poor and illiterate because they listen to Sharpton and Jackson instead of Cosby.
I wish.
The black community is poor and illiterate because, after slavery, etc., nobody knows who to trust.
I don't know why whites don't get that, considering they don't either,...
Universal mistrust doesn't seem to be a successful response, either.
What to do?
I have no idea, not anymore.
Things just seem to get more and more polarized, every day.
A big part of the problem is the difficulty in getting the right people to agree on how to create cultural institutions that promulgate in the individual a healthy sense of personal dissatisfaction.
Crack - I get that. The eternal victim industry hasn't provided anything to the "community" except the broken government welfare state and broken promises. Those few who have broken free of the "I must find someone to trust" (ie: Trust yourself) have found the various roads to happiness and success. Those roads are not available through the Sharpton/Jackson express.
"What to do?"
You do what has saved humans from extinction despite being weak animals - you learn, you adapt, you imitate those who are successful. If you dress, act and live like a thug, you will be a thug. You will die young or go to jail.
This is true for any person of any race. It's not complicated, and it's not new. There are only so many slots available for job of war lord, and the career is nearly obsolete in these parts.
"The black community is poor and illiterate because, after slavery, etc., nobody knows who to trust. "
That's entirely because they refuse to consider the ones they should. The options are available to them just like everyone else, and nearly everyone in this country comes from a past of slavery or worse. The past means nothing to your future path, unless you you want it to.
You look at what you want to be and you go be it. Blacks who choose wisely do great, but too many choose poorly. Who do you trust? Your own two eyes. Stop acting like a slave, and be a free man.
A free man doesn't stand on the porch arguing with the plantation owner, he walks down the road - his own road.
Slavery is long gone, but some people still enjoy their chains. Sharpton and Jackson sell those chains, wholesale.
Jeantel is depressing to listen to. She's barely literate. Is this the future?
Zimmerman did not get out of his car; he got out of his truck.
When you hear all these people saying "car," you know that they are all just mindlessly repeating "talking points" from "the narrative."
If they were thinking, at least some would have the type of vehicle right.

If the Choom Gang and the guys in the media and "distinguished educators" like the "guy in the neighborhood", William Ayers, have their way.

Crack- could you please explain this? I'm a white guy, and I don't get any of it. If the black community's problems stem from the fact that they don't know who to trust, and whites also don't know who to trust, then why don't whites have the same problems? Or am I mis-parsing what you are saying?
Thanks for any clarification.
"Zimmerman did not get out of his car; he got out of his truck."
I drive only a truck, and I call it a car all the time, and I'm pretty sure I know what I'm driving. It's just a manner of speech, and doesn't change anything.
The problem is not really a lack of facts, but that people don't like the facts, so they just ignore them. That's how you get a lynching to work.
If I hear one more person say Zimmerman caused it because he got out of the car, I'm gonna shoot someone myself. He got out of the car and walked on the street.
Look -- If anyone, after seeing a black guy in a hoodie, gets out of his car and walks on the street in the same direction, then he is a racist. Period.
The proper thing to do, the non-racist thing to do, the thing that is most demonstrates a proper dignity and respect for race is that when you see a black guy in a hoodie, you must avoid him. Stay in your car and/or walk in the other direction if you see a black guy wearing a hoodie. Do not make eye contact, do not approach him. Stay away. That is what a non-racist is now supposed to do.

Can I choose who you shot?
The juror who expressed her (muted) disapproval of Jeantel has gotten more criticism for that than Jeantel has received for lying under oath. I don't think it's fair to heap ridicule on Jeantel, but she did lie under oath and that's wrong. I think her literacy problems might have more to do with her spending more time on her nails than on studying. But, as the world now stands, any expression of disapproval of Jeantel will be defined as racism. And, of course, if you regard any young black male, who is not actively committing a crime, with suspicion, then you yourself are committing the crime of profiling and you deserve a punch in the nose.
Thanks Lem for giving me an opportunity to sound off with my morning coffee.

And that's a good way to get your ass beat. You have to treat street hoods the way you treat big dangerous dogs. Make and hold eye contact. Do not turn your back on them. If you're heading in their general direction, make certain you do NOT appear to be avoiding them. Basically, show no fear.
I don't think it's fair to heap ridicule on Jeantel, but she did lie under oath and that's wrong.
I'm not convinced that she actually lied. Lying implies volition. I think she's just too stupid to keep any story with any complexity to it straight.

So?
A non-racist will allow his nose and head to get bashed in, and do nothing about it. Only racists will try to stop attacks when they are done by black guys in hoodies.
Look - if Trayvon had been a white guy, Zimmerman would not have shot him, he would have instead put up with the beating and would have accepted being killed himself before doing anything to defend himself.
The best way to avoid a physical confrontation is to be big and strong and tall. If Zimmerman had been built along the lines of Hulk Hogan, Trayvon would have run home and none of this would have happened.
William, You're correct. Size matters and deters.
That's why I could never get laid.
