Carlton Banks IS Black History

How do YOU celebrate black history month? I do it by honoring the leaders of our past.

After posting this on Facebook my friend commented:

“But now you’re a shame to the black race :-(“

I’ll try my best, buddy, but the pressure of shaming every black person is a hard burden to carry. Good thing I don’t back down from challenges.

Sat, 20 Feb 2010 18:15:23 -0500

“The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than a monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, and more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes… As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money powers of the country will endeavor to prolong it’s reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed.”

Sarah Palin's Cheat Sheet

Fri, 12 Feb 2010 23:27:21 -0500

cheaperthanacupofjoe:

During her speech at the National Tea Party Convention, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin mocked President Obama for using a Teleprompter. Well it turns out it was just the technology she was against, not the concept.

The written words on her hand: ”Energy”, “Tax,” “Lift American Spirits, and “Budget cuts” with the word Budget scribbled out.

Everybody Hates Sarah… except for real Americans

runningdive:

Each scandal is represented by a colored circle that encompasses the people who are implicated. As it’s easy to see, many of the players here are mixed up in two, three, or more of the alleged crimes. Hence all the overlapping circles (Venn-diagram heaven!).

If you could choose between perfectly white teeth with five crucial teeth missing or a full set of brown teeth with black gums which would you pick?

I’d pick the white teeth
