If you missed it on Rachel.

Both Dunn and Zimmerman initiated

contact with Martin and Davis. Both young men were doing what teenagers in America do. They were minding their own business. Their presence didn't seem to distract anyone from what they were doing except Dunn and Zimmerman, whose only issues were, "Why the hell are these 'black boys' occupying the same space I am? Who gave them permission to breathe the same air I am? How dare they act as if they belong here?"

Martin and Davis's existence was so distracting to Zimmerman and Dunn that they could not resist initiating a confrontation with them. After all, they both had guns to protect themselves "when" the black boys did not respond with the proper respect for their obvious betters. Keeping blacks in their place was a position relegated to Dunn and Zimmerman by the Potato God no one hears but them. We understand this because the Son of Sam had a dog who told him to kill people who were minding their business too.

Well, Mr. Zimmerman (I am homeless, unemployed, broke and afraid) and Mr. Dunn (I can't believe I am in prison for shooting at three black boys who simply existed and not for killing an imaginary hostile black boy), welcome to what has been a large part of the African American experience. Hell might have been a figment of your imagination before, but. . . now it's your reality.

Why is Alex Wagner sounding defeated?

I loved her at noon with a panel where she was the moderator. Today she's talking about democrats losing the house, the senate or both. Delivering Msnbc's apology to Rinse P. Did I miss something other than the rich folks are trying to buy the country? Running pathetic commercials filled with lies? Everything they've been doing. Why so down in the mouth?

P.S. The tweeter was fired today too. How many msnbc bodies will be sacrificed on the altar when Fox fires none?

Voting in half an hour gave Boner

A real case of indigestion. He didn't look good at all.

Christie's office says Hoboken got 17 million?

And, Mayor Zimmer says they received $342,000. Even if they were only earmarked for 17 million it falls way short of what they requested or needed. 80% of the city was under water and over a year later all they have received is $342,000 to do what? Pay the postage on letters of apology for abandoning them after Sandy.

Everybody duck! The lies will be flying fast and furious next week. Some will be sharper than others, so if you're lucky instead of losing your head you'll simply be knocked out.

Why are birth control and abortion

the issues being carved out of health insurance coverage for target practice? What if women decided they did not WANT to pay for Viagra? What if young people decide they don't WANT to pay for hip and knee surgeries? Insurance is supposed to cover whatever your issue is. What if you choose from a laundry list of potentials and your dumb, unlucky ass gets something that's not on your list? Why are we still being bothered by birth control and abortion again?

Religious objection, you say? There are religious reasons in some denomination that objects to fixing anything that ails you. According to some religions it is God's will that you be sick, crippled, poor, raped, beaten, murdered, enslaved, starved, etc., etc., etc.,. Why do we bother trying to remedy anything? Because we are supposed to be civilized. We are supposed to be trying to improve the life experience for more and more people. Giving birth to a child you can't love because they are the result of rape or incest, or one you know you can't support financially in a system that is less and less sympathetic to your circumstance, or a child who will be sick and suffer every day of their life while you watch helplessly should not be decided by anyone but you. In a world where a man can make babies on the fly and keep moving, leaving a woman to carry the burden alone; why are we still being bothered by birth control and abortion again?

Senate has Constitutional power to expel Ted Cruz

http://www.politicususa.com/2013/10/18/senate-constitutional-power-expel-ted-cruz.html

I would sell water ice in Alaska to hear those words emanate from my t.v. Did I mention I hate cold? If they allow Cruz to stay without a muzzle, nothing but nonsense for the next five years.
