The Show

Here we go again everyone - this past weeks show. I'm hoping to spark discussion in the topic of youth violence and finding a SOLUTION. Listen here for more details.

Next weeks show will continue in this effort. Hoping you'll get on board and tell your friends wherever you are in the world - whpk.org every Thursday afternoon 2pm (CDT). This is not just a United States problem or a Chicago problem but this is reaching epidemic status. Put your dukes up world...time to save the children - for real.

Be well

stay sharp

QUICK HITS

PEACE

Been a minute but without any further delay here we go:

BILLARY AND THE REPUBLICRATS
to the tune of Josie and the Pussycats

It goes without saying that this Presidential campaign took a turn for the worse a few weeks ago. In a previous post I mentioned that this effort was for the souls of black folks and that is coming to bear. Geraldine Ferraro who with Walter Mondale managed to win ONE BLOODY STATE in 1984 has now all but firmly placed herself as the voice of the underground semi-racist. Thing is she had a valid point that deserves to be thrown in the mix with the comments Pastor Wright made...in 2001. Right after 9/11. When the mental state of the US was traumatized by the events of the day. Both Geraldine and Jeremiah were out of pocket but lets truly try to gather where each of them are coming from, why what they say has some validity and why it could derail ones aspirations to be President. Remember kids - everything you say in front of a camera or in a blog, or any pictures you may take at ANY TIME could end up biting you in the ass. The Republicrats have juggled this "race card" adage all over the place the last few weeks and Billary is leading the charge. Don't let her new found silence fool you. She is hoping with all her hybrid might that this latest attempt to knock Barack Obama out of favor with the American voting public succeeds because her time is running out and the Republicrats know it.

BYE BYE BLAGO

This is a good one everybody...another Governor having to leave his job! No not Eliot Spitzer...anybody who has that much money for a hooker should be handing out grants...not running government...no no no I'm speaking of Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. Stuart Levine the governments star mf'ing witness is laying the screws to ol' Rod ! While the aforementioned Billary and the Republicrats continue to make one believe that there was an evil cabal between Barack Obama and Tony Rezko. From the Chicago Tribune (3/19/2008) At one point, Levine described a flight from New York that he shared with Blagojevich Oct. 29, 2003. Levine had chartered the plane to ferry Blagojevich and others to a series of fundraisers.

On the return to Chicago, Levine said he took the opportunity to thank Blagojevich for re-appointing him to a seat on a state hospital regulatory board that prosecutors now say he and Rezko had corrupted to extort kickbacks from firms seeking regulatory approval.

Levine said the governor responded, "Never discuss any state board with me, discuss them with either Tony Rezko or Chris Kelly." Kelly, along with Rezko, was a top fundraiser for Blagojevich as well as a close friend.

Then Levine said Blagojevich added: "But you stick with us and you'll do very well for yourself." I predict that Rod is gone before the next President is selected...lets say August.

IT WAS FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY

Seems much shorter but five years ago President Bush made the now famous call to arms. Now to be fair he also issued this famous end of the war a few weeks later. Let us not forget the amount of progress that has been made...Wow...do you feeeeeeel like I do? It's almost over though...not the war I mean his term as the Great Decider. No one will be happier than me. I saw online that we should stop supporting the troops and start saving them. Well said.

Good Night and Good Luck.
