Cynthia McKKKinney Sucks The Penal Code And Ellen Degeneres

aren't some sentences way more funny if you leave out the commas?

seriously, though- what the heck is up with congresshuman macKKK(for racism)inney? many people complain about the lack of role models in the african-american community (outside of sports people and music people). i think the problem is that they have too many role models- who model victimology and race-carding. from jesse jackson to al sharpton to johnnie cochran to this mckinney wacko- why is bill cosby excoriated when these people are given press coverage? and why can't african-americans, or any other hyphenated americans, simply have positive role models who do not share their skin color? and why is it that, in order to be a properly hyphenated american, that one must have a different skin color from the vikings? you rarely hear about irish-americans or swedish-americans or whatever, even when they are many many generations closer to the actually "home country" than most 'african"-americans?

but i digress.

why is there almost nobody out there who is demanding that assault charges be filed against the honored congressperson? what is up in general with people caught on tape, or seen by 78,000 witnesses to commit a crime, who still get the benefit of being "alleged" criminals? are we really afraid of being called names that we can't even enforce our laws?

as for ellen degeneres, i would just like to commend her on her role-modelness. although i may not agree with some, or even much, of what she does, i think that her grace and dignity deserve some recognition. i think she is a great example of a person who is living her life to the best of her ability, capitalizing on her natural talents, and not playing victim to her circumstances. she can be as gay as the day is long ( i never understood what this phrase means, by the way, it just seemed appropriate to throw it in here...), but instead of harping on about it, and preaching a whole political agenda, she just lives her life in the privacy in her own home. her public self is admirable not because of or in spite of her sexual orientation, but because she has made herself into a person worthy of admiration. and that's why cynthia 'not my fault' mackinney is a loser and ellen degeners is awesome.

now how's that for random thoughts?
