The Bulls did what?! AH-HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAA!

The Chicago Bulls are on the clock and finally they have the NBA multiverse in the palm of their hands. Derrick Rose is the only logical choice at number one and if they don't pick him I will publicly question the intelligence of the management of said Bulls.

Let's take a look at why it makes sense to pick DR - he can make you better. DR can make the Chicago Bulls elite again, he can give the franchise what it has been missing for a long time...a player who gives a damn. The Minnesota Timberwolves need a big man. That would put Brook Lopez at the number three pick. The Miami Heat have a need for a big (a center or forward) and that clearly is Michael Beasley. That leaves Chicago with a world of choices and they all begin and end with Derrick Rose.

With that the clear choice I imagine that the Bulls will find a way of messing this up. You need to know your history people! The team got LUCKY when Michael Jordan fell in their lap at number three back in the eighties...imagine having Sam Bowie - oh no...or Hakeem Olajuwon(that would have been dope all things considered) but here we are with a chance for a really good ball player and a hometown product. He gets the chance that Ben Wilson never had, he can represent not only Chicago but also Simeon High School and with all that has happened in regard to the rash of shootings involving Chicago Public School kids, he can serve as a prominent reminder of hard work paying off and not settling for being a misnomer.

GO BULLS - DRAFT DERRICK ROSE !!!!

WHERE WAS GEORGE AND WHO GAVE HER ASS THE KEY?

So I would like for you all to watch this and then ask yourself just how much do you really know about Laura Lane Welch Bush? Not as much as you think...

Cyclone Reaction

Hit me back and let me know what you think...

HEY LADY - BEAT IT!!!

Barack Obama has done it! He has managed to keep white folks intrigued for more than 22 minutes and now the one white woman who he wishes would go away, won't. Hillary Rodham Clinton and her Star Wars jumpsuits truly has overstayed her welcome. I submit for your approval - if this were Barack Obama behind by 169 delegates do you think he would still be around? NO. He would have been "gently persuaded" to get lost.

Why is she still writing checks to herself? Why is she asking old white ladies for their money? I thought they called that scamming the elderly? No way that Barack would even be in the conversation this late in the game if he was behind. Not even Rev. Chickenfoot could derail what is ordained by the people. Hey Hill what are you afraid of really? The Bush-Clinton monarchy is coming to a close. You old creepy uber-wealthy white people are walking toward the light and you know it. YOUR TIME HAS COME AND IT IS TIME TO TAKE A NAP. Welcome to the future. Get on with it already and stand down woman...you are horrid and wrong on so many levels. Go away and enjoy your money Lady Pantsuit.

QUICK HITS

DON'T MESS WITH NYC

Nicole Paultrie. Why does that name ring a bell? Nicole is the fiance of Sean Bell. You certainly know by now that Mr. Bell was taken out by the NYC cops outside of a "strip club" in Queens, NY in 2005. Imagine what it's like to be in a situation like that ...your fiance gets murdered, the cops get acquitted and Michael Vick goes to jail for killing dogs. Whoa. 50 shots and no jail time...acquittals all around. My blackness will not allow me to say anything other than the following: it has been and will continue to be open season on people of color in this country, until the people of color in this country have had enough.


JEREMIAH WRIGHT AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT

The dumbing down of the citizens of America is almost complete. I know this to be true because people who haven't been to a church in their lives are listening to a retired preacher. Rev. (Ret.) Wright has NO authority to make any declarations about ANYTHING in the political arena. Why would anybody in their right mind listen to him after the crap he pulled last week? Listen - after he was interviewed on Bill Moyers Journal that should have been it. No more yapping playa. You said enough. Let that shit rest now Rev. You talk more than Rev. Run and he has a weekly TV show! Let's introduce Barbara Reynolds into the equation...why did JW manage to speak at that National Press Club event in the first place? Because Barbara Reynolds wanted to "Tonya Harding" Senator Obama. Ms. Reynolds - also a Rev., is one of Senator Clinton's fiercest supporters. Who better to "Harding" Obama's knees than JW who is still upset that he wasn't invited to "introduce" the Senator to the world when he made his pronouncement in Springfield last year. Bitter beer face for all of you. Not enough space to lay your shame. You all deserve what you get for keeping this mess - messy.

FINALLY
