What would our four fathers think, rofl!

I'm seating here attempting to figure out what needs to be said...staring into the flat screen of my boss' computer as if the words will jump out and land in my fingertips.  It's just seems like there is so much to say and so little space in the body of this email to say it...and since i've journalistically (hahaha is that even a word) learned that the shorter you make it, the more people will read it.  Notice, I said people and didn't single out a group of people...okay my fist is down back to the lecture at hand, whatever that shall be...got it!!!! 
 
In the mist of what is probably the most important presidential election known to America (yea yea independence and blah blah--get over it and go eat a hot dog and some FRENCH fries) i feel as if my brain has been on overload, hell long before the Super Tuesday.  What more describes America than a presidential election that consist of a white woman, a black man, and a trillion of angry white males fighting to maintain the status quo--if that's not traditional American warfare, I don't know what is.
 
Let me begin by saying that I endorse Barack Obama and that I am a young person that you will see at the polls.  Obama is the first presidential candidate that I can recall in my young life that I can believe.  That when he speaks, I don't run to google and try to dig up his fallacies.  I have nothing against Hillary Clinton, but I'm sick of Americans particularly African Americans praising Bill Clinton as if his Gandhi, shit his nobody's John F. Kennedy.  And, yes America was eating good, scarfing down McDonald burgers and squeezing that last drop of ketchup from the packets for our super sized fries but at what cost during the Clinton Administration.  I applaud his accomplishments but can't ignore his failures (where they even failures).  Back to not having anything against Hillary Clinton, I feel like her candidacy is the most pure form of feminism but it seems as if she's trying to hide the estrogen that clogs her pores.  I'd prefer if she took a stance and said that not I can do the job just like any man but take a stance as a woman.  Strut her business skirt suits, I'm not saying forget all prudence--but ladies how fly do we look when we have on the perfect business suit.  I feel this has been the flaw of all feminist movements.  Don't trade in your pumps for loafers.  It's our womanism that provides the twist.  A change is gonna come, but hopefully not like the ending of the Malcolm X movie.  Though, I strangely agree like neon green boots on Connecticut Avenue with 50 Cent despite how pinheaded they might have been, I'm not willing to put such energies out into the universe!  Any who? 
 
I apologize for the heavy subject, the comedic yet oh so intelligent other half of this blog is hitting the books, she's like mad busy trynta get that good ole Howard degree and i aint mad at her...so the white ladies dancing and other hilarious utterances of this thing here is non existent until she returns, i know, i'm sad too,  but she'll be back and in full effect.  So don't fear she'll be back hitting you with the funniest shit you've yet to google.
 
Kwame, Kwame, Kwame Kilpatrick.  My man!!!  I have to got to admit that every now and then I am astonished at how removed the media can be from human life, emotions, and consequences.  I know it is the duty of media agents to report the news, hell I graduated from Howard University's School of Communications with a degree in journalism so I know.  I know the oath by heart.  But that oath should be embedded in our tape recorders, keyboards and the likes, not consciously wrapped in a handkerchief and only effective when our noses are running and full of boogers.  I know the world of politics is a complex one, but if you shave away the now thin layer of constitution it's all men's (notice this is plural to represent both man and woman) bullshit.  Despite Kilpatrick's sinful act of adultery (that is if 2point's audience is religious), he actually has done fucking great job for Detroit.  Within the last 5 years of me being in D.C., I come home astonished at the progress.  Of course, he doesn't do it alone but what is obvious is that he loves Detroit and that he is invested in her growth.  PLEASE EXCUSE ANY RUN-ONS.  All things take time.  And in the little time he has been in office, I am impressed.  The issue is, Kilpatrick is a young, hip hopping, bling wearing type of dude as opposed to the blue cigar stained sport's jacket, red tie type of fella.  Age is seriously nothing but a number; sadly enough I know more eight years old who've experienced more than I have.  The fact that in Hillsdale, Michigan; Roland, Iowa; Linesville, Penn.; Watervillage, Ohio; and Westbrook, Maine all elected 18-year-old to be their mayors.  I believe America is really ready for a change, correction the youth of America is ready for a change and has no inhibition or hesitation if they/we must grab the baton.  I would proudly re-elect the honorable Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.  The irony is that people want him out of office because of purgory, they same purgory Bill Clinton committed, yet there's no unanimous opposition.  "Impeach him," says the citizens of Detroit.  I say he who is without sin throw the first stone, hahahahahhaha--separation of church and state what a joke.  Hypocrisy is alive and well.
  
In lighter retrospect, I miss Grey's Anatomy.  I love Cashmere Mafia.  And two freakin thumbs up to the cast of One Tree Hill.
 
How odd and unexpected is the trade of Shaq to the Phoenix Suns for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks.  What an experiment?  The question of the season is "how would 35-year-old, slow-moving O'Neal fit in with the run-and-gun Suns?" Detroit Pistons coach, says that Shaq gives the Suns the ability to slow down.  I know he knows his shit but I can't help but laugh at that statement.  Yeah you got have versatility, but let's not forget his hip injury or that since December 26 he hasn't played in a whopping fifteen games.  The All-Star Game is fast approaching, which means the first round of playoffs is right around the corner.
 
   Did anybody see the exquisite nature of the new Audi R8?
How wack is that Amy Winehouse will perform at the Grammy's via satellite?  Yes, it's of her own doing, but dayum!!!!!
   Is Zac Efron this generations John Travolta/Kevin Bacon/Patrick Swayze?
How dope is it that Common will play Green Lantern?
   How backasswards is it that in order to minutely alter the affects of global warming the shit is so dayum expensive, thanks alot to all the fuckers who thought the shit was some cult shit?
As beefed out as the world is with Jay-Z and how disappointed his cohorts are with him, didn't he actually do a dayum good job to the point that they're considering other "former" artist to give El Presidente spot a shot?
   How relevant is Lupe Fiasco's song "Dumb It Down" to other genres, cultures, and mediums of life?
Is krazy that Ms Mary J. Blige has only one video, two singles, while Sir Hurricane Chris has three videos, more singles, and an array of collabos?  How incongruous?
   Lee Seegel proclaims that Internet is " "the first social environment to serve the needs of the isolated, elevated, asocial individual,"  in his new book, "Against the Machine."  If this is true, what are the consequences?
Who is more above the law rapper T.I., rapper Lil Wayne (who reminds me of Jimi Hendrix, however there's a bit more than purple haze going on), or the Gambino family?
 
Love, Live, Life, ya'll!!!!
