T.E.N. Political Pages, aka-Yeah Right

Image
An announcement was just made that John "Bane of My Existence" McCain wants to postpone the great debate that was to be held at Ole Miss this Friday. Apparently, the Galloping Geezer wants to go focus on the economy. I am led to believe that he JUST found out that we broke as hell. The announcement is so new (it's currently 14:53 Central Time) that there is no statement from Barack's camp in regards to this Tomfoolery. In my opinion, this is all about publicity. If I have never heard of such a valiant effort at looking relevant before in my life, I have just heard one today. I also think he's unprepared and wants to see what Barack's camp is going to do. Besides, if Barack doesn't act the way that the voters who are on the fence want him to act, they're going to applaud McCain. I don't like John McCain. I think he really forgot that the economy was bad and wants to try to do something. He just picked a damned interesting time to do it. Here's s

T.E.N. Politcal Pages, aka-Eff Yo Privilege!

(I didn't write it. However, I must share it!) This is Your Nation on White Privilege By Tim Wise For those who still can’t grasp the concept of white privilege, or who are constantly looking for some easy-to-understand examples of it, perhaps this list will help. White privilege is when you can get pregnant at seventeen like Bristol Palin and everyone is quick to insist that your life and that of your family is a personal matter, and that no one has a right to judge you or your parents, because “every family has challenges,” even as black and Latino families with similar “challenges” are regularly typified as irresponsible, pathological and arbiters of social decay. White privilege is when you can call yourself a “fuckin’ redneck,” like Bristol Palin’s boyfriend does, and talk about how if anyone messes with you, you'll “kick their fuckin' ass,” and talk about how you like to “shoot shit” for fun, and still be viewed as a responsible, all-American boy (and a great son-in-l

T.E.N. Special Report, aka-Thursday's Recap-poo

You know what??? I am now sleepy. My adrenaline has capsized, and I am now in need of sleep. But, I digress. I would like to tell errbody that today was HOT! I got to be a radio celebrity and I got a half page spot in the Commercial Appeal. I am a Spotlighted Mom, and I am worth a damn. I left 98.9 Kim FM aboot 8am and went to get Lex ready for school. Ralph stayed at my house with her since I had to hoof it mad early. I went home to drop off his paper (Copy Number One) and went on. At this point, I headed on to her school, which was when I gave her teacher a paper after our discussion about Lex being potty trained (Copy Number Two). I went on towards the doctor, which was when I called my mom to see how she was doing. She was turning onto Bellevue from the street in front of Central High School as I was turning onto said street. I intercepted her and surprised her with her paper (Copy Number Three). At this point, I arrived at the doctor's office to reschedule my 'perntment si

T.E.N. Music Report, aka-Not Norman Whitfield!!!

Man, music has lost another talent. Norman Whitfield passed away on September 16, 2008. Diabetes claimed his life, and he will DEFINITELY be missed. For those who weren't familiar with him outside of being played in the "Temptations" movie by Mel Jackson (wait, you probably didn't know that, but I digress) he wrote some serious shiggity. In my opinion, he was one of Motown's finest writers. Here are some of his hits below: 1963: "Pride & Joy" - Marvin Gaye 1964: "Too Many Fish in the Sea" - The Marvelettes 1964: "Needle in a Haystack" - The Velvelettes 1964: "He Was Really Sayin' Somethin'" - The Velvelettes 1964: "Girl (Why You Wanna Make Me Blue)" - The Temptations 1966: "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" - The Temptations 1966: "Beauty Is Only Skin Deep" - The Temptations 1966: "(I Know) I'm Losing You" - The Temptations 1967: "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" -

T.E.N. News Report, aka-Take Elizabeth Hasselbeck and...

...drop her off in the middle of Scuttlefield!!! I am so tired of her Republican, conservative, outrageously stupid episodes. Rosie O'Donnell should've kidnapped her and left her in the middle of the Gay Cruise! I have never been so annoyed by a Republican in my life! Well, I don't like Bush...but at least I don't have to see him Monday through Friday. So, I am certain that you may wonder what she did to piss me off other than being alive and talking on camera. I am going to tell thou. At some Republican thing-thing, Hasselbitch had this to say: "Cindy came into our hair and make-up room fresh as can be. And unlike another wife of a political candidate who shall remain nameless, she didn't come with a list of topics that we weren't allowed to touch. Nope. That's because she has nothing to hide". Of course, Hasselbrat never said what was on that list. The infamous list could've been something so simple as not asking a list of questions that may

T.E.N. Special Report, aka-Project Prevention

I think this will be a very controversial blog, but to hell with it. I just stumbled upon a website for this non-profit organization called Project Prevention. (http://projectprevention.org). I read the information on that site and I was captivated. It was founded by Barbara Harris in 1997 who, along with her husband, had adopted four drug children. She knew firsthand how hard it is caring for the children who had to deal with withdrawal and developmental issues. She tried to rally for some helo in Congress, but that didn't go all the way. Therefore, she founded Project Prevention. So what does Project Prevention do? Well, they offer drug & alcohol addicted parents $200 to $300 to get long term or permanent birth control. Opponents of Project Prevention feel it is is taking away the right to reproduce. However, after reading around the web, I think there is nothing wrong with what they are doing. First of all, there is no strongarming. Nobody threatens you and if you object, yo

The Great Gustav Debate

Hurricane Gustav has come, seen, and conquered. Now, many evacuees are ready to go home. I am glad that the damage done to New Orleans and the surrounding areas was nowhere near the scale of Katrina, but the mere possibility sent thousands packing. Many decided to come to Memphis to seek refuge for a few days just in case Gustav was no joke. I have read countless articles, message boards and comments and I have come to these conclusions in regards to this situation: *There are people who had no hesitation in opening up their doors and churches. People volunteered left and right and encouraged more people to seek shelter. Some Memphians were grateful for their business and offered discounts and gave donations on their behalf. and on the flipside... *There were some very irate people in Memphis complaining that people should have been more prepared for the storm. They felt it was unfair to come to Memphis looking for discounts and donations when they were aware of the fact that the

A Life in the Day of Tam, aka-Zone Three

This trip into the mental mind of Tam occurred Wednesday, August 27, 2008 from Noon until about 13:00. I would like all of my friends and fam to know that this is what happens when I am sleepy, bored, and distracted. Keep in mind, I am at work. I would also like for you to realize that my mind wonders like this frequently. Soooo...if you're ever talking to me and I do something odd, it's most likely because something popped in my head. It's not you...it's me. My mental mind is italicized. I'm not hungry. Apparently, this pillage is working. RRRAH! I wonder if I should go buy that body scrub that Gloria was talking about. I don't know if I should pay $17 for a sugar scrub. Why can't I take some liquid soap and some Splenda and VOILA! Somewhere along the way, I think that isn't correct. Ooh, "Centipede" is on the Zune. I like Rebbie Jackson. She's still married to that dude she got married to on the "Jackson's" movie. Did she co

T.E.N. Parent Pages, aka-I’m Tired of This Shit

First, look at the video on this link: http://umbn.net/2008/08/wh en-parenting-goes-wrong%e2 %80%a6-kids-freak-fest/?-k ids-freak-fest/ I finally had a chance to go to the page and view the video. Needless to say, I'm mad as hell at what these kids were allowed to do in this video. There is no way on God's Earth that this foolishness should've been videotaped. I could go into what all is askew, but since it's so many things wrong, I'm going to a pick a few to rant about. *In this case, who did the taping? I know in this digital age, it's likely for a young person to have access to the technology needed to get this on the web. However, I'm led to believe that this was the doing of a grown ass person...a person that thought it was cute for this to happen. *A valid point brought up in the article accompanying the video, parents aren't doing a great job at being a parent. I am not the most upstanding mom on the Earth, but I will say that I am trying. I will

T.E.N. Political Pages, aka-High Chicanery

I was sitting here thinking about something and watching "The Village". For some reason, the randomness of other situations permeated my medulla oblongata. It went down my spine and out my behind. It lapdanced on my laptop while my laptop was in my lap. I realized that I had once again nodded off while listening to "Syntesizer" by Outkast featuring George Clinton. Nevertheless, I have arrived to my point...Sarah Palin and nem should be beaten with the first available braided switch. I would like to borrow a phrase from "The Oblongs" This whole damn court is out of order!!! What I am getting at is the handling of Bristol Palin's pregnancy. Once the truth came out (or the semblance of said truth), Sarah Palin proceeded to go on the offensive, attacking rumors that Trig Palin (the baby with the Downs Syndrome) was NOT her daughter's baby. She then admitted that Bristol is indeed pregnant. She went into some speech about loving her regardless and wanti

Remember this face. Look at him closely. His name is Reginald Davis and he's 18 years old. And he is in jail for raping his 8 DAY OLD DAUGHTER. Because of this perverted bastard, this child had injuries so severe that she had to be transported to a hospital in Little Rock. The little girl's 15 year old mother was the one who noticed the child was bleeding when she came out of the shower. Reginald was visiting them when the attack happened. I am led to believe that this bastard has a history of such abuse. Nobody wakes up one day and decides to rape someone, let alone an infant. I think that he has had perverse thoughts for some time now. He impregnated a 14 year old (I'm led to believe that she was 14 at conception and is 15 now). I don't know what his bond is, or if he's even qualified for any, but he's currently facing rape and battery charges because the baby had a fractured skull. This situation brings up some major issues I have: 1) You have to be careful

Greetings people and others, I am here with a brief snippet o' news. I don't have much that is worth a damn, but here's what I do have to entertain thou with. *Here's Bristol & "Redneck" Levi* I must say, they cleaned the ol' redneck up well. I'm tripping because they actually got her Baby's Daddy (aka-Political Fiance..) out the house, slapped a suit on him, put a little Dapper Dan on his hair and now he's "part of the family". Granted, I think Bristol had a right to be there, but they are really milking this situation. Had Sarah "Moosekillah" Palin not been running for VP, he would've been back home with strict instructions NOT to leave the oil pipeline until the baby was born. Here they are looking like a real family Look at them holding hands... And look, he has her name tattooed on his finger.. WHAT THE HELL! Yesh, yall, he has her name tatted on his finger. I think he would be a little reluctant to do that if
