Think of the most interesting man you know. Now imagine what he would be like had he grown up in a tarpaper shack without indoor plumbing, joined a monastery, had an extensive career as a female model, actress, author and screen writer, then traded in his weave and acrylic nails for a Ph.D. in neuroscience. If you have been able to conjure up that image, turn it up to 11... and let's do it!!

Sarah Palin: She And I Are Not That Different

Like many, I was outraged by the Republican's flagrant disregard for America's well-being by running Sarah Palin as a vice-Presidential candidate.  Like human's typically do, I turned that outrage on the individuals involved, rather than the circumstance.  It wasn't until this morning's mainstream manipulative noise about Bristol Palin and her baby's daddy that I realized something.  I used to be a stone street ho'... I was used by more rich old white men than the bathroom at the Senate... so Sarah Palin and I are not that different.  

Is it disgusting that she is getting paid millions of dollars by GM to do a reality TV show on Discovery, while GM is working niggas, and trailer trash back in Michigan like they're the New York Times crossword puzzle, and paying them pennies?  Yes! Yes! Yes!  But if you've ever been down on your knees in front of some man whose face looks like a fingerprint with receding hair, wondering why this critter has his balls in your mouth, you understand how Sarah Palin could fall victim to such men.  These men didn't get to be powerful by being ethical or intelligent.  They are in their positions because they are driven by fear... and the only place they feel safe is immeshed in the illusion that they are in control.  When people believe in things they don't understand--they suffer.  I don't care how much money you have, if you don't have the ability to be care about others, the environment, and the world we leave for our children--you're not well--you are spiritually indigent--and suffering in the worst place--your soul.      

It is an understatement to say Sarah Palin has issues, and there is room for improvement... but I was a runner up in an obscure beauty contest once myself, I understand being an also ran... and how that will drive you to being an attention whore.   However, watching her cavalier disregard for protecting her daughter and  grandchild from the mainstream media and their masters is such a sad commentary on Sarah Palin as a mother, a grandmother, and on America as a supposedly first world nation.   

Motherhood, in terms of fundamental human currency is a much more important job than being governor of the 53 people that live in Alaska, or anything that Discovery or the Republican Party has to offer.   She didn't realize that when she was governor of Alaska, judging by her children, and she doesn't seem to realize it now.    While the reality is, we're all whores, and its just a question, of what street we're working, and our price... integrity will always be a tenet concern of the human economy.   Its like Einstein said, it's not the people that are bad that are the problem, its the people that don't do anything about it... And so I've decided to do something about this, but I'm not quite sure what to do.   So now what are "we the people" going to do about the flagrant lack of Integrity in mainstream media and our large public corporations?   in reality they belong to us, don't they?  I'm listening.  Holla back chirren...
