Frustration

I am writing you all, because I am frustrated.  Frustrated because there is a situation that there is nothing that I can do about. 

Today, at 5:00 A.M. this morning, my Dad’s oldest sister died of an apparent Heart Attack.  Her name was Margaret Mahan.  (Her Maiden Name is Margaret Adkins).  She had a rough life.  Honestly, outside of my Dad, her family quite honestly did not give two flips about her.  She married, to a scum of a man, his name was Tom, who beat her and mistreated her only son, to the point of trying to drown the boy, when he was five years old.  Finally, after a couple years of marriage, Tom left one day supposedly to go to the store.  Tom never returned.  The family found out much later in life that Tom had been in and out of several psycho wards.  Tom showed up, in a wheelchair.  He did not stick around long, after his wheelchair fraud was foiled by a family member who caught him walking.

Therefore, now, Margaret is now dead, a pauper.  Oh, she will get a 15-minute memorial service, with no casket, and just a simple picture on a stand.  There will be no formal funeral, and she will be buried in a pauper’s tomb, with five other people.

Where do I fit into all this?  It is my family; I am the son of my Father.  I was the kid, who was supposed to be the person who was supposed to go to college, really make it big in life and get rich and help my family.  That never happened.  Because of this, she will die, treated like anyone else in her position.

I did not write this to hit you all up for money.  Even I am not that much of a shameless fool.  I wrote this to vent, vent because my desire to help my family and my utter inability to do so.

Do with it, what thou wilt.

A movie that every American should watch, before voting

(H/T to AP at Hotair.com)

This movie, if it caught on in the Media would ruin Obama’s chances of being elected President.

Trailer 2:

Wow…. I don’t think Barry will have to worry about snipers. He’d better worry about this movie.

This one is for Brother Hayes

Politics is one thing, real life is another….

In case you haven’t heard. We lost another legend.

Enjoy this video, it captures a master at his trade, at his best. This is “Stormy Monday”…

His List of accomplishments include:

Hayes was a longtime songwriter and arranger for Stax Records in Memphis, playing in the studio’s backup band and crafting tunes for artists such as Otis Redding and Sam and Dave in the 1960s.

He released his first solo album in 1967, and his 1969 follow-up, “Hot Buttered Soul,” became a platinum hit.

In 1971, the theme from “Shaft” topped the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks and won an Academy Award for best original theme song. The song and the movie score also won Grammy awards for best original score and movie theme.

Hayes won a third Grammy for pop instrumental performance with the title track to his 1972 “Black Moses” album.

He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002.

Isaac Hayes music embodied the black experience, Issac asked in his hit tune “Shaft”, “can you dig it?” and to that I simply say, yes, we all dug it, on some sort of a level or another.

I am sure that some asshole White, High-brow, Conservative and some other Conservative Minority will snivel at this man and dismiss him as a Liberal who promoted Identity Politics, But he was about so much more than that.

I, for one, am quite sorry to learn of his passing, an era in music has just ended. 🙁

May he rest in peace.

Comic Actor Bernie Mac dead at age 50

Such a tragic story. 🙁

The Story: Comic actor Bernie Mac dies at age 50- CNN.com

Comic actor Bernie Mac died early Saturday of complications from pneumonia, according to a family member and his publicist. He was 50.
Bernie Mac

He had been hospitalized in Chicago, Illinois, for more than a week with the lung infection.

Danica Smith, the comedian’s publicist, had said Thursday that Mac’s condition was “stable,” The Associated Press reported.

“When I got the call this morning, it was just devastating news,” said Chicago Sun-Times columnist Stella Foster. “Let’s face it: Bernie Mac was one of a kind. He was the best of the best in terms of giving you a good laugh

Politics is one thing, but real life is another. 50 years old is such a young age to die. A talent taken, way too soon. My Prayers and thoughts go out to the family.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn has died

It seems that the World has lost another great writer.

Via CNN : Alexander Solzhenitsyn has died

Quote:

Russian novelist and historian Alexander Solzhenitsyn, whose works detailed the horrors of Stalin’s Soviet labor camps, has died at 89, Russian news agencies reported Monday.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn addresses parliament in 1994, the year he returned to Russia after two decades in exile.

His son, Stepan Solzhenitsyn, told The Associated Press his father died of heart failure late Sunday at his home near Moscow, Russia.

Awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1970 for “The First Circle,” Alexander Solzhenitsyn was considered a moral voice for Russia. His works centered on issues of good and evil, materialism and salvation.

His three-volume “Gulag Archipelago” unveiled the horrors of the Soviet labor camps, where he himself was imprisoned for eight years.

Even as a child, without any prompting from others, I wanted to be a writer and, indeed, I turned out a good deal of the usual juvenilia,” Solzhenitsyn

Even so, Solzhenitsyn, who served in the Russian Army during World War II, spent much of his life as a mathematician said in a short autobiography written for the Nobel Foundation.

It is truly always sad to hear, when a writer dies. This profession is dying by the way. This man also had the courage to stand up against something that he knew was wrong.

May he rest in peace.

A article that I think everyone needs to read.

I think all Americans should read this.

“Obama ain’t black.”

I turned to look over my shoulder to see who had uttered that ridiculous statement.

“Pardon Me?” I squinted at the dark-skinned man who had just interjected himself into my over-coffee conversation with my buddy, Kevin.

“Obama ain’t black.” He said again more matter-of-factly as he walked around the porcelain dividing wall and stood at our table where he could be more active in our conversation.

“My name’s Andree,” he said as he extended his hand. “I couldn’t help but hear what you boys had been discussin’ and I don’t mean to stick my nose in where it don’t belong, but I couldn’t leave without settin’ you straight. Obama ain’t black.”

I looked at Kevin as he shifted nervously in his seat, not sure how to take this visitor to our table.

“Well, have a seat Andree,” somewhat trying to judge the book by its cover. “I’m Dave, but most folks call me Coach, and this is Kevin.” Kevin extended his hand politely.——- Click the link to read the rest of Conveniently Black by Dave Daubenmire (via NewsWithViews.com

I will simply say the following, that it is pretty telling when Obama is doing better in White America, out in places where blacks are in rare supply, than he is in the more urban communities.

I don’t have much to add to this article… Because Dave says it all in this article. Enjoy.

Tony Snow – Rest in Peace

8x10_tony_snow_fix

Robert Anthony Snow

Born: June 1, 1955 Died: July 12, 2008

Sad News to wake up to this morning. I admit it, I did the jaw drop thing myself this morning. When I read former press secretary Tony Snow had passed.

You can say many things about the Bush Administration, you can bad mouth many of the players. But you cannot bad mouth Tony. He was just a nice guy. Who was tossed into one of worst jobs in the White House, and the really funny thing is, he loved doing it.

Tony was 53 and had three children. My thoughts and Prayers are with Jill, Robbie, Kendall, Kristi

There are many nice things being said about Tony. If you follow the link above, you’ll see the good things. Unfortunately, some of the left are using this as a time to insult a dead man. God be their judges. I won’t directly link to any of that screed.

The President made a statement:

Laura and I are deeply saddened by the death of our dear friend, Tony Snow. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Jill, and their children, Kendall, Robbie, and Kristi. The Snow family has lost a beloved husband and father. And America has lost a devoted public servant and a man of character.

Tony was one of our Nation’s finest writers and commentators. He earned a loyal following with incisive radio and television broadcasts. He was a gifted speechwriter who served in my father’s Administration. And I was thrilled when he agreed to return to the White House to serve as my Press Secretary. It was a joy to watch Tony at the podium each day. He brought wit, grace, and a great love of country to his work. His colleagues will cherish memories of his energetic personality and relentless good humor.

All of us here at the White House will miss Tony, as will the millions of Americans he inspired with his brave struggle against cancer. One of the things that sustained Tony Snow was his faith – and Laura and I join people across our country in praying that this good man has now found comfort in the arms of his Creator.

Rest in Peace, Tony. You’ve earned it. Save me a place at the table and around that throne of Grace. See you there!
