Hot Ghetto Mess.

Have you seen this well fed crack-head in Georgia, somewhere? A friend of mine sent this picture of a naked woman stading against the back of a Mazda to my cellular phone earlier today. Apparently she did not get arrested for the public lewdness and the indecent exposure. My question is, is this ghettoness so common that the police ignore it? I think this photo-op is worthy of a Blue Mojito mention on this blog.

Trust Fund Baby

An off-duty police officer in New York City has a sick sense of humor or perhaps the impaled baby's head on the car antenna was a tongue in cheek political statment. More racist than a spin on the latest version of Grand Theft Auto. I don't know about you, but I have been seeing a lot the same four door compact sedans. Three Six Mafia has even made a video about it.

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner

David Hampton only wanted to get into Studio 54 so he scammed wealthy Manhattanites to invite him into their hearts and home by telling them that he was David Poitier, the Black movie actor Sidney Poitier's son. David Hampton's good looks and suave charm earned him a twenty-one-month burglary sentence and a 1993 film based on his con game in Six Degrees of Separation. Hampton tried to sue the movie's film maker John Guare in 1991 however the 100 million dollar suit got tossed out after an appeal. The New York Times quoted the trial court's ruling stating "society's response to one whose labors are in violation of its penal laws is punishment, not reward." The appellate court ruled that Hampton's hoaxes were not entitled to damages because Guare's play was a protected work of fiction. Hampton passed away in 2003.

Don't Stop Believin'

Life gets sad and frustrating when no one 'understands' your letters and e-mails. It gets really upsetting when you have realized that you have spent a number of years complaining about a situation and no seems to know what is going on or even attempt to blurt out a clue. Never fret, I know it is not just me. There has to be a problem when you hear the same Journey song three nights in a row, two live performances in two different cities and once at a karaoke bar, for the duration of your weekend getaway. The circumstances are offensive, but I don't mind the song.

Electroshock Therapy

Nashville police have the option to switch from tasers to the strong sedative Versed to induce the state of amnesia when they aproach an assailant. For some reason, Tennessee doesn't want arrestees to remember a bout of excited delerium.

The Power of Persuasion

The world is outraged by pictures of sunbathing tourists' indifference to two dead Roma girls laid out on a Torregaveta beach in Italy. Ironic for these two unfortunate girls that must have wandered from their camp, Gypsies are normally the ones accused of child stealing and baby snatching.

Last Holiday

If the concept for the original Last Holiday was not bad enough, the remake for the Queen Latifa flick Last Holiday was frightful. Although I spent several days in New Orleans a couple of weeks ago, the last real holiday that I had was in Jamaica for my cousin's wedding. He and his wife got married in the summer of 2005. His brother in 2004. Three babies are ready to be baptized this summer. As for me, stay posted to the blog. Unfortunately for Chandra Levy, her parents will never have the chance to partake in these momentous occaisions.

Message in a Bottle

Bazaar times and two AA batteries. I located this jewel the center of a nearby strip mall. Haven't done anything this raunchy since a video upload on my laptop in September 2005.

Verizon Wireless

Are you in the network? I am sitting here at a coffee bar with a Shiner-Bock here in Houston checking out the latest New Jersey Star~Ledger headlines. Carla Katz, former president of the Communication Workers of America, is under a federal probe for mishandling union money for New Jersey's Local 1034. Katz's former post employs over half of New Jersey's state workers including Verizon employees, airline stewardesses, and nurses. Included in the Carla Katz matrix are New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine and Newark, New Jersey Mayor Cory Booker. Jon Corzine reportedly showered Katz with millions of dollars of gifts assumedly from his former position at Goldman Sachs. Katz has raved over the appeal of Booker's golden slacks.

Brown Paper Bag Test

I never pledged any sorority, nor any family members, but the Washington Post printed an article yesterday on the AKA's 100 year celebration. I think that tells you how significant African-American organizations are in American culture. However, when I receive a letter like this from a federal agency...it belies the accomplishment. Anyhow, another cycle of bar dues are here.

Black and Blue

Although my legs and arms are about the size of tree trunks right about now, I decided to sign up for a membership with the Sierra Club for some happy hiking trails. The organization does amazing work with lobbying and activism on behalf of the United States' national parks, resources, and wildlife. In California, the Sierra Club along with other California groups in the Courage Campaign were able to halt the building of a Blackwater Worldwide military training camp that would have impinged on the sanctity of the San Diego area's Hauser Canyon Wilderness and Pacific Crest Trail and on local businesses. Puportedly to evade public scruitiny, Blackwater Worldwide applied for Potrero, California permits under business entities Raven Development Group and Southwest Law Enforcement. Not to be thwarted, Blackwater Worldwide decided to open up camp again in the San Diego city limits in Otay Mesa, Mexico spawning a new campaign to block the company's permanent fixture in the community. Since last year, Blackwater has been suspected of launching destructive and retaliatory attacks when it fails to get its way. The same residents of the Hauser Canyon that lobbied in the Courage Campaign experienced fires in October after pressuring the private contractor to abandon its petitions to the Potrero Board of Supervisors. A New York Times envoy in Iraq witnessed the company's mercenaries kill their dog, Hentish. Three Blonde American orphanage workers evacuating from post-election violence in Kenya have nothing but gratitude for Blackwater's rescue tactics.

Intensive Care Unit

Similar to cellular phones, interference from radio frequency identification tags found in security cards and even surgical sponges may cause hospital equipment like ventillators and defibrillators to malfunction. USA Today cites a study published in last week's Journal of the American Medical Association which found that 25% of the time, medical devices such as a syringe pump and a pacemaker switched off within range of a hospital bed.

Case for Sudan Goes to UN Court

The United Nations' International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for Sudan's President Omar Hassan al-Bashir for the genocide that has existed in the country since 2003. Peace-keeping forces issued by the United States' government and the UN have failed to suppress the violence under al-Bashir's direction.

High...Low...Defrost

Raw Story reported last week on the crowd control technology that will be showcased at the Democratic National Convention this year featuring a broadcast from CNN's American Morning. Microwave technology, pepper ball bullets, and Sonic Ray Sound are among the devices that will be used against convention participants in the Rockies this summer. The Denver ACLU has sued the city to find out how money will be spent to fund these science-fiction-like weapons. Interesting enough, is the Ghostbusters like "Goo Gun" that releases a plasma like substance to stop intruders and their humvees in their tracks. No need for Dems to travel to Colorado to get a piece of the action. Blackwater may be opening up shop in a town square near you.

Can You Hear Me Now?

Back from New Orleans refreshed and prepared for my court appearance for a Disorderly Conduct citation in federal court yesterday, I am baffled at the supposed effectiveness of the new robot technology used for diagnosing stroke patients. The RP-7 looks like a laptop on a movable platform but it is billed as the next big thing in innovative medical technology. Skype for doctors...big whoopee. The two way video conferencing system works on the same Wi-Fi connectivity as my Sony VAIO. As for the ticket for parking and/or bringing a tape recorder in the FBI building, it was dismissed by the United States Attorney even though my identity theft situation has not been resolved.
