“... but then I remember the millions who will tie themselves in knots trying to justify and excuse any and all misdeeds, and it makes me very, very sad.”

“Better than a man whose discography is full of songs that have defined the past two decades of R&B, and were sung impeccably, expressively, with great range, and an actual sense of melodic contour??? Without any support, this statement is about as incorrect as subjective opinions get. If I were Usher, I’d be livid.”

I have been glued to the television, I am embarrassed to say I am somewhat giddy. I laughed out loud! They prefaced the breaking news by suggesting no one get all hysterical about it. But, this shit is just that... hysterical. The AG and WH response predictable; at least they had the day to bask in the glory of a…

Figuratively, of course.

Exactly!

Exactly. The ramifications of what we are witnessing are stupefying. It is as though we are in an abusive relationship with a person who holds the office that once represented the leader of the free world, and last night he tried to apologize and make it all better... until next time; and just like an abusive…

Ha! So sad, but true. I heard earlier an MSNBC analyst and conservative radio host explain that you have to listen to 45 “differently.” In otherwords, you have to bend over backwards (he he he) to make his shit okay... that’s just crazy talk!

Indeed.

Yes, thank you! The sigh of relief I experienced after refreshing the page was rather pitiful, such a welcome sight. ... how did we get here? Please don’t answer, I know.

Hey there!

For some reason, I am often reminded of the Pakleds from Star Trek TNG’s “Samaritan Snare”:

Is he, I mean, it, done yet?

I just remembered I have some “Atlanta” episodes to catch up on!

That is what I have been hoping for. ... just ‘cuz. Sure, there is a lot to be gained by going high, but when the bar is being set so low...

I had to stop watching that stuff because I started to fear that maybe my television was a gateway for vanquished spirits!

It’s kinda like Mad Men, but worse... go MAGA or go home!

My first thought was, “Who are those people of color allowing themselves to be used like that?” Then, it had only been a few minutes and I was already overwhelmed by the hypocrisy and insincerity, and I thought, OMG, I just can’t. 

I tried, but instead, and I am not sure why with a DVR full of other stuff, but I am rewatching the last episode of National Geographic’s MARS... he he he... it’s kind of like a Korean docu-drama in space, oddly reminiscent of Mission to Mars and Stargate SG-1, with some PBS thrown in. There’s some crying going on…

Hey Rich,

I know 2! They’re all about “Playing with Fire” which I suppose has much more of a commercial flair, but “Whistle” is my Black Pink go to.
