Mambo No. 5

When I started Marylawn of the Oranges in South Orange, New Jersey, I felt out of place because I had not lived in that area of New Jersey since I was four-years-old. I was not familiar with the slang. I did not know the right clothes to wear and overcoming the trapings of puberty with music videos and gossip was tolled my maturity. No longer thirteen any more, Acme problems have not waned. I am running into friends and family for the first time in my life, and realizing that complete strangers can read them better that I ever would. I can't sing a note for the life of me unless my voice is blended in a choir. I have cousins that can and have been very popular at various times. Here is a musical selection from one. If you can not make it on the guest list, you have to throw your own party!

I am following Karl Rove and Islamic_Tweets on the social network Twitter for those who may be inclined to ask one of my friends and not me. Even though Karl Rove may not be concerned that the Reliant Energy gas connection in my parent's home has flown south of the border to Mexico, he posts with serial code #TCOT #SGP after each of Tweets and TwitPics on the site. Karl Rove is in Austin, Texas right now and will be appearing on the Glen Beck Show tonight at 5:00PM Eastern Standard Time. Islamic_Tweets posted a Tweet among the other Tweets from sites such as Middle East Online and Fatwas.com about whether Islamic worship of Allah allows for adherence to the Christian and Jewish pagan tradition of birthday celebrations. The pagan worship of Artemis must be the latest poor excuse for the ongoing perp walk at Cake Wrecks when Camille's Tricks and Treats and Emily's Big Whopper have disappeared from world wide web circulation. The good fortune bestowed on Samantha's Novel Eats and Dolly Town for twenty-nine years of giggles, moves from New Jersey to Texas and back again, and family hurricane parties must be esteemed honor. Well if that does not fit into the Karl Rove program, a John Daily piece on the Twitter social network might be more appropriate to delve into conversation on "grunter" and "voweler."

Re: Rodrigue Studio You Tube Channel

Ms. [Blue Mojito],

My name is Jacques R[last name omitted] and I work with Rodrigue Studio. I am happy that you became a fan of George's after visiting his exhibit at the New Orleans Museum of Art. Thank you for sending us your inquiry. Please allow me to clear up some confusion you may be having.

George Rodrigue is not associated with any political party nor with any of today's politics. We work very hard to ensure that the Blue Dog Democrats do not use any of our images. We do not want George's art to be politicized in any way. George creates art to bring people together. He wants everyone to be able to enjoy his art without having any pre-conceived notions. The works combined with the titles speak for themselves and present a commentary upon the human condition. To associate ourselves with anything political would take away from that artistic mission. George controls his art and it exists as an entity entirely to itself.

Whoopi Goldberg is a good friend of George's and she became a fan of his in the early years of the Blue Dog. Early on, she commissioned him to paint her portrait with the Blue Dog. Then, to help him gain recognition for his art, she graciously agreed to work on the documentary project and to give her unique voice to the Blue Dog. She and George continue to be friends and she is still a collector. She lent her voice as a friend and you should not be offended in any way.

I hope that answers some of your questions. Please don't let politics get in the way of your enjoyment of George's work.

Sincerely,
Jacques R[last name omitted]

Hello,

I became a fan of your Blue Dog series of paintings when I happened to view them at Rodrigue's Louisiana: Cajuns, Blue Dogs, and Beyond Katrina at the New Orleans Museum of Art. After viewing the exhibition, I viewed the 1992 "Rodrigue Studio" videos on Youtube.com featuring an interview of yourself, George Rodrigue, describing the inspiration for the Blue Dog, your late Cocker Spaniel Tiffany. I wanted to know why the Blue Dog is narrated by Whoopi Goldberg. I am a black woman and I am intrigued to understand what the Blue Dog means in connection with Harold Ford Jr. fame. This is in respect to Harold Ford Jr. being a Blue Dog Democrat and losing to Tennessee Senator Bob Corker in 2006 during the Tennessee senate race. Senator Bob Corker ran a television ad and a campaign attack jabbing at Harold Ford Jr. for being an overindulgent ladies man running on his sexual appeal and a Caucasian female exclaiming that she met him at a Playboy party. Ford Jr. lost the race to Corker after a heated public debate on the racism behind the television spot. News commentators confirmed the ad to be offensive. Harold Ford Jr. later married a Caucasian woman the next year. For the Blue Dog to come to life through the voice of Whoopi Goldberg, it seems quite offensive to Black women and any woman of African, African-American, Creole, or Spanish Caliphate descent. How does this 1992 depiction of your art fit in with today's politics?

Thanks,
[Blue Mojito]

America the Beautiful

A young woman in Saudi Arabia finally received justice over a teenage boy who blackmailed her for her photographs without her hijab or her abaya. The rise of this modern violation of Islamic conservatism is aided by the use of cellular phone cameras and computer repair shops. Meanwhile, in the United States we have the likes of 96.1 The Beat's most famous air time radio host dancing on Youtube.com with a large erect penis peaking through his swathing black leotard. I did not post the link because I do not want you to flag me for Violent or Repulsive Content. However, I advise you to do so for "Cubby's Dance to Beyonce Single Ladies" 51,159 hits strong on the Cubbyradio channels on Youtube.com. Mostafa Hosni's Cairo Muslim televangelic guru would still not let this Tyra Banks show invitee as a guest on his show with a similar 18-34 demographic. Extremely Reckless! I have to post pictures of similar goings on in my neck of the woods. Watch the tool box vagrant!
