Putting Pelosi On Blast
I’ve had a lot going on this week personally and professionally. Most notably was the passing of my uncle JT. So due to those situations, I haven’t had the time to blog about the loss of Ted Kennedy’s seat in the Senate on Tuesday. It was quite a shock, and a huge blow to the Democrats and President Obama’s progressive agenda. The reason this is so major is because the seat was loss in a special election to an anti-health care reform Republican. With that loss, the Democrats’ tenuous “filibuster-proof” Senate majority is gone. The reason for the loss is easy to pinpoint: the lack of enthusiasm and turn-out among Democrats and Independents who want this Congress and President Obama to be bolder.

Politics vs Celeb Culture & Health Care
Everyone knows I’m a political junkie. I follow politics like most guys follow sports. Up until a few weeks ago, a majority of my blog entries were about politics. Unfortunately I’ve had to abandon that angle for a while in order to pursue other interests, projects, and business opportunities. In other words, writing about politics all the time does not make me money (lol). I’m being totally honest here. Call me a sellout or whatever. I can take it. I would never let ANYONE dictate or question my personal integrity. I’d be broke and completely destitute if I concerned myself with what people thought about me. The bottom line is, the more visitors I get on my site, the more money I make. If I write one blog about Chris Brown & Rihanna’s domestic abuse issues, and another blog about the effects NAFTA has had on international trade… guess which one would generate the most traffic. Of course it’s going to be the one about Chris Breezy & lil’ ReRe (lol). I’m not talking about a small disparity, I’m talking about a HUGE difference in traffic numbers. I know, It’s totally ubsurd, and I hate taking part in it all, but I have to make a living. In this country, only the wealthy can afford principals and, and I’m not quite there yet. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that I have no interest in celeb culture, because I do. I visit Perez Hilton’s site every now and then. I watch Entertainment Tonight on occasion. So I’m not downing or bashing that kind of stuff. I’m just saying that if given a choice, I’d choose politics. I could easily look at the negative side of this, but I’m choosing not to. I feel very lucky to get paid for doing something that I love. Writing has always been a passion of mine. So what if I have to make concessions every now and then. It’s a very small toll to pay on my road toward enlightenment and total creative freedom. How many people can say that they get paid for doing something they love? ……. can you say that? …….. NOPE, Didn’t think so (lol)
**side note** I want to encourage people to do a little research on this health care bill. Don’t beleive something to be true just becasue you heard it on tv or you read it in a newspaper. Take a close look at the biggest opponets of this bill. Then you’ll start to see the real truth. You’ll find that most of the organizations that are spending millions to try and kill public health care, are all big money corporations that have lobbied and shaped government policy for their benefit, and they continue to exploit the current health care system to get as much as your money as possible. These people and organizations have no interest in helping anyone but themselves. Don’t let this kind of behavior continue. Don’t let them use you to make even more profit from a broken health care system, that can be so easily fixed.
The amazingly wise Mr. Fredrick Douglas once said “The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.” I believe we proved that to be true when we united as a country and decided to elect Brarack Obama as our leader. We have the power to shape our own destiny. Those who want to oppress us can only do so if we let them. We need to show the wealthy establishment that we will not endure oppression of any kind, under any circumstances. Not in this country. Not in this lifetime. Never again.

Sign This Petition To Investigate Bush & Cheney
A decision is expected in the next few weeks. Holder should investigate torture, and he should start with former Vice President Dick Cheney and his legal adviser David Addington. I urge you to sign the petition to tell Attorney General Holder to assign a prosecutor to investigate torture, just as I did. Please have a look and take action.
