THE BP MONOPOLY

BP has placed a "top hat" on the oil well. I can only assume if this does not solve the problem the next choices will be the thimble, the shoe and the car. Who is running this repair effort? Milton Bradley. Sounds eerily like a do or die game of Monopoly for the Gulf Coast. Surely there will be a criminal investigation into this matter. Hopefully BP executives will soon be rolling the dice for a "get out of jail free" card.

WHITE FRIGHT (The "Coloreds" are Coming)

     "Them Ni**ers is lazy!"  My grandmother would yell at the television as we cheered her favorite football team, the University of Alabama, on a sunny, fall Alabama afternoon.  Puzzled, I would respond in my meek ten-year-old voice, "Grandma, the black guys are running circles around the fat white guys."  Oblivious to my keen observation she would continue, "They're animals. They ain't got normal sized human brains.  They’re dumb."  Undaunted I politely proclaimed, "But Grandma those black men are in college."  My grandmother, a fifth-grade graduate, leered at me as she spoke, "I liked football better before they allowed them Porch Monkeys to play with them good, Christian, white boys."  As I sat innocently on the worn, smoke-filled sofa of my grandmother's living room, under the watchful eyes of numerous Jesus renderings, it was obvious my grandmother was having difficulty adjusting to the integration of her belove

AMERICA... THE DYSFUNCTIONAL PARENT

     My 50+ years on this earth I've had many extraordinary experiences.  I've have taken advantage of everything America had to offer.  Early on, at the age of nineteen, I learned my first adult lessons about participation in the American way of life.  Regrettably, I learned sometimes America is not what it is portrayed to be.  I learned the American Dream is not necessarily the goal we chase but the way we retell the story of America.  Revisionist history is often the American Dream.  We long for the good old days, not when America was necessarily great but when we were young enough not to know any better.  Don't misunderstand me.  America has done some great things.  Technology and War are two of our greatest things.  But when you take a closer look at the "Greatness" of America you will find it was never great for all, and rarely great for most.      I am astonished how many Americans can preach the positive attributes of America while ignoring the glaring

COWBOY IN A WHITE HAT

Seventeen dead school children.   That’s a small price to pay so Americans can protect their right to play pretend cowboy.   We gotta be armed in case the Native Americans, Muslims, Atheists, Aborted Fetuses or the military of our great country decide to attack us.   Because let’s be honest nothing puts the fear of God in a Super Power military than a bunch of rifle-totin, frightened, hilbillies who weren’t smart or disciplined enough to finish high school but innately possess the strategic military skills passed down from their Confederate forefathers.   Sure God will protect us but only after we empty our magazine on a Ivy-league educated, communist-loving, constitution-hating, liberal-minded, atheist, half-breed, transsexual who will inevitably invade our double-wide to use the bathroom beside our youngens.      I am a courageous American.   I have no fear.   Hell, it says it on the back of my pickup window, “No Fear.”   Sometimes I drive around town and don’t even use my bli
