Fake Debates, Make Believe Polls, & Blackouts

read this article from our guest author: thenothing

Once again, rogue bloggers are left to ponder this question towards their growing community. As fake war uncles and imaginary bridges are debated upon no one mentions the other people ready to prove their worth to the American public. The biggest lie of them all is the lie that the Negro Americans have been fed and have regurgitated that there is only ONE Negro running for the highest office in the land. If Negros truly believed in finding the “truth” they would have turned to the side and spotted two other Negros running for the Presidential Office. Alas it is time that Negros in America stop crying as their true falsehoods and ignorance to their surroundings shine through. Not only are there two other Negros running for president, but one of them is a woman and her running mate (another woman) is also Negro with Puerto Rican Heritage. Cynthia McKinney, Ralph Nadar, Bob Barr and Chuck Baldwin will all be on the same ballot as the Messiah and the Geriatric War Vet yet they have not been put in the spotlight.

standing ovation

A round of applause to non-browns, Masters of TRICKnology. Creators of Misconceptions. Houdinis to the truth. These amazing creatures have made it their lives work to deceive and steal. Now the non-browns have amazed browns once more through the Magic Mirrors of Politics. Non-browns make a habit of taking whats old and reinventing them as new. Why would they do this? To capitalize from the ignorant who rather look down on the past in favor of the latest trends. What is the latest trend for 2008? The new revised Turncoat: Barack Obama. Browns have allowed him to become the newly created Messiah. Non-browns have given browns their second coming as prophesized to them by their Pulpit Pimps.

clay comes out? when was he iN?!?

excerpt:

Two years and four days later he decides to go back to People Magazine (one of the outlets that celebs go to so they may jump out of the closet with pride) to say “Yes, I’m Gay.” Was it really a question Aiken? I knew you were sweeter than a king size bag of Skittles the moment you showed up for try-outs on American Idol. Was it a big deal then? No. Is it a big deal now? NO! Maybe Clay and the rest of the world forgot that the Gay Bullhorn, Rosie O’Donnell sound his

the hunt for black november

excerpt:

Democrats need the Republicans to be labeled as evil so they can yell “us vs. them” at all the campaign meetings. Bam-Bam is performing the way the victims need him to. Will it benefit them in the end? I highly doubt it but we’ll see.
I’m tired of Bam-Bam reiterating empty promises and all the slogans his camp can discover. When are people going to demand better from all who run for office? It seems that people have forgotten the okey doke that is performed every election and Bam-Bam’s performances are raved. The crowds seem so ready to be bent over in the name of Change that they are ignoring blatant flaws in this election. Fear is thick in the air and its choking us all. Who can scare who the best to drum up excitement.

Bootlegged Flashbacks vol. 5

The artist known as Sananda Maitreya will always be Terence Trent D’Arby (Terence Trent Howard) to me. He was a slightly taller Prince knock-off with dreads and a more feminine look. I was never a “fan” of D’Arby but he was a bit interesting for a while. He was the latest Neo-Soul artist for the DBPC (Dirty Backpack Click) to love and feel one with. He allowed them to feel and be different, and that was cool. When one wanted to escape from rap, rock, and pop, D’Arby was an alternative.

Not sure if this is true but from what I’ve read, D’Arby adopted the name Sanandra Maitreya after dreams he had but legally changed it in 2001 on October 4th. In an interview he declared Terence Trent D’Arby dead. He “watched his suffering as he died a noble death,” but why couldn’t he simply be placed in a coma? What if he wanted to change his mind? Seems that d’Arby was doing the “artistic death” thing and wanted to just reinvent himself. He might have felt shackled by the W.O.S. and wanted out with a new start.

Though from NY (Manhattan to be exact) D’Arby was in the army but was discharged after going AWOL in 1985 while in Germany. He was in Elvis Presley’s old regiment, if anyone cared. 2001 saw D’Arby/Maitreya return to Germany to begin his own recording label, Treehouse Pub; and the release of his first album in six years. He took an unreleased album from his D’Arby days and revamped it to Wildcard under Maitreya. We’ll delve more into D’Arby in his own separate article on The Bootlegger’s Chronicles next month.

Sit back, draw the shades, place the phone on vibrate and go back to the 80s.

Bentley: The New Charm of MTV

First, this is the same house that Viacom has had in EVERY SINGLE love & charm school show they have dealt with. Now Jaime Foxx is privileged to use it and calls it the “Gentlemen’s Club.” They changed up the decorations but it’s the same damn house; at least from Charm School. Blazers and some manners don’t always make a gentleman so we’ll see where this leads. There were rumors about a second season of Charm School but that would be frightening. The new show is From Gs to Gents hosted by Fonzworth Bentley, and it has become one of my new shows to love to hate to watch. Also watch for Bentley’s butler, Fredrick; he also cares for the “Gentlemen’s Club.”

Hot Mess - Flava Flav Style

It's official, Flav has returned and he's hungry to ensure that he finds a woman this time around; or so he'd like us to believe. Thanks to New York (the Muppet look-a-like, not the state) finding her White knight, Flav has been encouraged to return to VH1.

New tricks and hoes to wiggle for the attention of Flava Flav!! Oh joy. Not only did he get dumped three times but the third chick left him to sell blue jeans. Shut the hell up!!! So from calling out that Spanish chick for "not being there for Flav" this chick went to sell blue jeans and wiggle in a music video.

LOL. The madness is too great.

So more dumb broads are on television and Flav has some BUSTED chicks this round - more than usual. There is even one soooooo ghetto that she cannot build a sentence. Sweet Lord!!! Here we go.

Flav asked for classier chicks but alas has ended up with trashier broads. ONE chick was riding a fake elephant and folks were breaking stuff on day one. Massive baby mammas looking for gold with a diaper in one hand and a shovel in the other. Fighting already about who's here for Flav and who's not. Here we go again in deed. There are even twins!! DOUBLE THE MESS.

Too much trash to digest in on one night. Flav said that he was going to allow the girls to give themselves their own names - but some were so whack he renamed them. So much for empowerment. One weirdo came with watches all up and down her arms... TIK!!! LOL Another di-di-di, Shy, wanted to take the other girls on a ride of strangeness and battle.

The ugly twins were appropriately named Thing 1 & 2. (Flav said it was because he liked them from the story Cat in the Hat, but we'll say it's because they reflected Thing from The Addams Family). Let's just say that Shore-Tee - is simply dumber than a brick wall. Enough said. Then there's Peachee - another Internet winner (LOSER). Then Savanna - NEXT!!! The last chick, Mayammee, came off as a straight jump-off.

I must agree with Flav because his Internet fans were simply sending comedy to the house. These girls would not be Flav's choice. Yeah, yeah beauty is skin deep and all but Flav wants to bus' a nut sometime this season.

Can we be honest? Let's be honest. Let's be friends for two seconds so that we can clear the air. This show is strictly a way to get Flav more ass than usual. A reason to bang out a group of chicks and call it a search for love. We have bonded with this feeling since the last season of Flava Flav and we can accept this. We have accepted this. So let's not be shocked that Flav kisses and bends over more than half these chicks - it's expected. Simply enjoy the ride.

Back to the show.

Shy - teeth reminded me that I wanted to see Jaws again in memory of the star who passed away this month. She might bite off Flav's face. Then we have Ice, a self-proclaimed radio personality who says she doesn't know why she's there - to Flav.... Dumb, dumb, dumb! Why are you here????????

Dymes, she had her one-on-one moment with Flav. One of the few cute ones. A criminal justice student - is she here for research???? We all know he's been in jail. Just might NOT work. Next up, the Things. They are willing to share Flav. Are they willing to share baby duty as well? El, cannot speak!!!!!!!!!! Damn, why is she so hungry to speak?? She makes no sense. Just bend over and enjoy Flav. No empty poles available for El?? She's missing the comfort of cold steel right about now. Bunz is an open freak. She is already speaking about how she's into women, men, will try anything at least once. Damn, can Flav offer you a date first? She might settle for one of the other girls as runner-up ass.

Oh, Tik-Tok. You make Flav's heart rock.... out of sheer fear mamma. You are an obsessed fan given the opportunity to meet your idol up close. Run Flav, run!!! She's waiting for you with a baseball bat to break both of your ankles like 'ol girl from Misery!!!!

Of course Shy is rolling up to be the next Ms. New York. Asking girls if they are ready to raise 10 kids?!! Aren't most of Flav's children grown???? Why, Lord Why!??!!!! Shouldn't we look for inspiration during Black History Month???? LOL

Another moment where women are getting carried away and touching his face. HE DOESN'T LIKE THAT!!!!!! Strike 1 Rayna!

So now, Flav's #10 fan, Rayna, (posing as his #1) begins to grill another girl in front of Flav asking "What you know about Flava's clock? I've been following Public Enemy since I was yea' high... I know what the movement was about I know why he has the clock on the 12 and the 6 - tick tock." Well Flav asked Rayna, "What's the deal with my clock?".... SILENCE! *cue crickets* She started yapping a load of crap - turned out WRONG. Talking about how we as Black people needed to look at ourselves - *BEEEEP* Flav's answer: "Time is the most important element of our lives and we can't afford to miss it." I hope the heffa took notes. Well, she can always refer to our site for the answer.

In steps the Internet Winners. They are rolling up trying to spend time with Flav. They both took him off and just stared at him. Peachee and Savanna had nothing to say.  Are they serious???!!!!!! Prancer was up next - she really did look like a Reindeer. She quickly lost Flav to Ms. Underbite and Gold Toofus. Next up to bat was Seezinz. A sob story and a picture of her brother. Thanks - we needed that moment to calm things down. More than half these chicks did not understand the phrase - "Don't Touch My Face."

Shy proved to be a tattle-tale. She had no game and was rapping to the camera. Shy was trying to get rid of Bx but is quickly reflecting the times of New York - we can't have that again. We might get stuck with another show with a drama queen and her bible thumping, young boy humpin' mamma. No thanks!

Flav begins to hand out the clocks.... The first one showing nerves: Ice. Boy did she have reason to. One dumb response had that chick on the Maybe List. Ice and Tik both received clocks. Guess Flav is allowed to have pets in the house this year - he kept Prancer. Senseer & her forehead got a clock. The Things not only share a brain but they now share a clock as well. The Internet chicks were dismissed, as well as the criminal justice student.

The preview of the season looked pretty good. Mess is mess but they are hysterical. The dates and trips look great but too bad the chicks are there. More fights and more drama, just what the world needed.

Gangster Comes Back to Hollywood

The story of Frank Lucas and Richie Roberts is visited in the amazing film, American Gangster.

Read full story at TBC: American Gangster!

Will Hollywood recognize the amazing acting ans story telling that went on in this film or ignore it with so many they have done before?
Can the story of a powerful Black man being brought to justice find justice at the Oscars?

Peace OUT Yanks!

Now time to do the house cleaning that should have been done from jump. What took so long? It's been years since they won a ring and rookie teams were beating them at the Point of No Return.

Twelve years was a good run Joe but your team was losing it's edge. Over paid players were on the team and not bringing their A game!

Who should be booted is a great question.

K-Fed Gives Parenting Tips

SNL give a good skit about K-Fed gaining custody of his children:



Will this fool take this as a stepping stone to becoming an adult or will he end up losing the children to Brit's family or Child Protective Services?

Sloppy Negro Alert 2

Here we go again. Marion Jones finally comes clean regarding her steroid usage when winning three gold medals in the 2000 Olympics but why now? She was in the clear. Seven years and she was scott-free or was she. I guess facing jail time because she was involved with a check fraud scheme had it's way in waking her conscience.

I bet the Steroid Patrol is just going to wait for an few more years before Barry Bonds comes clean too... Well it'll be a short while before he too is doing something crazy to score some cash.

Cabbie On Fire?

Now we've got the first Poster Child or shall we say Poster Cabbie to lead the Cabbie Strike. His name, no need to say because he's got enough publicity as is. His claims: the GPS system caused his cab to catch a blaze. Really? Now the Alliance is trying to claim that the GPS is the least reliable machinery invented by man? Then why are folks buying trucks and cars with them already installed by the thousands? Why is the industry selling more on top of that to individual car owners?

Let's keep it real, as the kids would say. Did you install the GPS yourself? Did you get a friend of a friend to do it? Mechanics say that it doesn't pull much amps to cause a fire - so what's the new excuse why you don't want to get the equipment installed.

We're looking forward to hearing more of you nonsense in the coming weeks.

Spear's Family

Where were these people as the Aunt now claims that they are all afraid that she'll "spin out of control"??

Can I get some of what they're smoking?!!! Hello!!!!!!!!! The children are now in the custody of Daddy Dearest......... What the heck? Once a mother losses custody of her children shouldn't that be considered "spun out of control"?
