Chinese Checkers

Normally I would have probably written a little something on penal politics in honor of Sean Bell. However, my mundane expression could do little if any more given the inordinate post I have read on this since the verdict was passed down. But It is like what did one expect? This is America, this is not a democracy- what did you expect (this is why studying history is important, for it tells us we should have expected such)?

Instead, I am reminded of the time when I used to play games, all kinds of games from four square, to any sport, to kickball and checkers and chess. But there was one game I could never get, and the strange thing was that seemed like me and all my friends had it - Chinese Checkers. Now I may be sating myself but it came with every game of checkers ever sold.

To connect the dots, I keep hearing that the Cold War is over. Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. I do know that they, Russia, formerly the USSR does not exits anymore. But if you asked me - which no one has, I would like to suggest that the cold war is alive and kicking.

Just like Dusty Rhodes versus Ric Flair, the U.S. and China have been locking horns and doing battle like it was for a championship belt. And it seems as if China is winning, or at least has the upper hand. Starting with the yuan and the way they have pegged the currency to how they assist in creating higher gas prices based on us being one of the biggest exporters of refined oil to them; and don’t even mention how they crushed our steel industry back in the day. But I won’t get into that for its enough new info on the latter for food for thought.

Now aside for the “knock this off my shoulder shit”, like picking on them for Tibet and Dafur, or them picking on us because of Iraq, there is some major stuff going on that I never see and barely read in the news - I guess that’s a function of having a zillion debates and candidates saying the same thing over and over and such being considered news.

First it was their disagreement with the U.S. Steel energy report that suggested China had supported its steel industry with energy subsidies of 27.1 billion U.S. dollars from 2000-07. Thus why it was a big issue in the Penn primaries, given non of the democratic hopefully could thoroughly address the issue.

Yep China is winning. Not only do they make bird flu, and scare the shit out of US and make toys and baby cribs that can be considered as booby traps that harm and mutilate, even kill our children, now they are hitting us with tainted drugs. According to the USFDA, there may be at least 81 deaths across the country that may be related to contaminated blood thinner made in China. The FDA has been engaged in a bitter battle with the Chinese government over this. The agency publicized that the active ingredient in Heparin sold by Baxter Pharmaceutical was contaminated at Chinese manufacturing facilities, with a dietary supplement made from animal cartilage called chondroitin sulfate. Heparin is a polysaccharide that is found in the human body with the greatest concentration in tissues around the liver. It is used to prevent blood clots from forming.

I tell you, the cold war is not over, I mean, just because the name of the enemy is changed, don’t mean jack to me. So Like in Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card, we may need to learn how to fight the Chinese at their own game, maybe not with learning how to play video games as in the aforementioned book, but maybe by learning Chinese checkers, so get the kids ready folk.


WEAR BLACK MONDAY FOR SEAN IF U CAN

just a though on Iraq

Yo check this. Albeit my foreign policy experience has been limited to running child survival, maternal health and infectious disease risk reduction in prisons, and outside of the frequently penned essay on international affairs issues regarding politic and health, I am a novice. Maybe one reason why I would not be suitable for political office – add that my salacious selection of vocabulary and my predilection for women. That aside, I have reduced the political problems of Iraq into a workable solution. True I do not live there and like the US government, neither have I consulted or requested their approval of my executive order.

I have written extensively on the current circumstance that have placed us at war, from the President, to Don Rumsfeld, Neo-cons (even though have found a neo neocon), Pakistan, Afghanistan and even other assorted variables. But truth be told, we as a country, no matter how long we stay, or how many troops we can deeply, can’t do nothing for the country, the people and the puppet government – I mean democracy we elevated in Iraq.

But If I were afforded the opportunity to use a Republic like a Monarchy this is what I would do. Given my previous failures at attempting to institute an artifact of imperialism, I would look toward the North and away from the green zone and other places I have made desolate with bombs and bullets. I would sit down with All of The Kurds, the Shiite and Sunni and talk about what was going on in that region. I would tell them that, “As a nation they now have to be self-determined. That no matter where enemies come from, this could be a start for a unified Iraq." I would advocate that they all join forces and go to war against Turkey. This would accomplish our goal. We could bring our troops home and unify the country.

In my rally cry I would add, “the North is where most of the love is, and if we can destroy your country under the guise of false stockpiles for oil, then you can unify your blood for oil and for our nation. I figure this will finally unify Iraq and start the rebuilding of a unified nation state, unfortunately like it was under their former leader.

But that why I am not a politician. I don’t know if the rest of my government would go for it, I mean giving them planes, as I did Turkey also. But it would work, and we could have all of our people home and watch out two allies in the region square off. This would be a job well done. LOL

Riddle me this….

In the honor of former vice president Dan Quayle and his speech to Fisk Graduates when he attempted to quote the UNCF motto and said “ A MIND IS A TERRBILE THING NOT TO HAVE” LOL

1] If I ask you to come and share my bed with me, hold me and exchange bodily fluids and u wont, why would one get mad and does one have the right to be mad at me if others or another will?


2] Why couldn’t I take lighters on the airplane but can take matches, when I can order two bottles of Absolute, get a napkin and make a Molotov cocktail?


3] why is so much emphasis based on voting in Amerikkka when it is not a democracy, but rather a republic, where land owners make decisions and not the voting populous?


4] How can one incessantly blame others for things, when they own up and take responsibility for their actions, when they themselves don’t accept the consequences and ownership of their actions?

5] What will it take for, and when will, balling, frontin', playing high post and flossing to go out of style?

6] Why did TI ask the prosecuter if he could have 95 family members over for Thanksgiving and did he realy think he would say yes?
