A few days ago Condoleezza Rice made an appearance on “The Daily Show” to promote her memoir, No Higher Honor. She shared the story of when she met the former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2008 at his home in Sirte. Gaddafi had commissioned Libya’s most famous composer to write “Black Flower In The White House” for Rice. He told her he had the song in a video form and Rice describes the song as “weird but not raunchy.”

The Politico website has reported that two women filed sexual harassment complaints against Herman Cain in the ’90′s when he was the head of the National Restaurant Association. The women were paid-off and signed agreements that barred them from speaking of the matter. Cain’s spokesman said they were “vaguely familiar with the matter that was resolved by lawyers for the association. I wonder how all his supporters who make less than $250,000 feel about this.

It looks like Governor Rick Scott’s business to plan to drug test welfare recipients has been blocked by a federal judge. U.S. District Court Judge Mary Scriven issued a temporary injunction against the law that went into effect July 1st. The ACLU filed a lawsuit on behalf of a single father on the grounds that the law violates the 4th Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure. Scott’s press secretary said that he will appeal the decision. Scott sold his family’s interest in medical company Solantic earlier this year. But even if he has sold his interests in the company why would you trust someone whose history of fraud made history? This still does not mean he couldn’t have other plans to make money off of drug testing. Karen Bowling, who founded the company with Scott said they wouldn’t have “thought of bidding on the contract.” LMAO. Sure they didn’t. What kind of governor wants to demonize poor people and violate their 4th Amendment rights? As far as the tests catching drug users only 2.5 percent of people have tested positive since the law went into effect in July.Scott is only worried about fraud because he committed fraud.

Media leaks of Condoleezza Rice’s memoir have turned-up some interesting admissions about her time in The White House. Rice refers to Hurricane Katrina crisis as something fitting of a “race problem.” The Secretary of State was in New York City shopping for shoes and getting ready to attend a Broadway show. This is how she describes August 29th 2005: “The airwaves were filled with devastating pictures from New Orleans. And the faces of most of the people in distress were black. I knew right away that I should never have left Washington. I called my chief of staff, Brian Gunderson. “I’m coming home,” I said.”
“Yeah. You’d better do that,” he answered.Then I called the President. “Mr. President, I’m coming back. I don’t know how much I can do, but we clearly have a race problem,” I said. Rice also said, “I wasn’t just the secretary of state with responsibility for foreign affairs; I was the highest-ranking black in the administration and a key advisor to the President. What had I been thinking?.” In her interview with Newsweek she defends George W. Bush’s “Freedom Agenda in Iraq.” To make a long story short no one cares about Rice’s revisionist history and not so subtle PR attempt. She was down with the killing machine and that’s all we need to know. Her shopping spree in NYC is what it is. I wonder if she addresses that famous August 6, 2001 pre-9/11 memo in her book as well.
iScandal is a new smartphone application that lets the user know every time an anti-gay politician gets caught-up in a gay sex scandal. There are screenshots that show you the last time a scandal took place. There is something to be said when a phone app of this sort is created; the hypocrisy is happening so much that the public can expect enough of it for this app to exist.

Last week in Columbus, Ohio Terry Thompson let loose 56 wild animals that he kept on his private farm. After the animals ran loose Thompson committed suicide with a gunshot. The town sheriff gave the order to have all of the animals shot and killed. Whatever happened to tranquilizer darts? According to them they had very little time to make a decision and there was not enough tranquilizer available. Why did the animals have to suffer because the humans took them out of their natural home? So Michael Vick gets in trouble for killing animals but the police in Ohio are good? Where is PETA? Where is PETA? They’re always outraged about everything else but not this?

In a rare moment of honesty from white people and celebrities in general, actor Vincent Kartheiser admits that life is good for him because he is a white man.The actor has a starring role in Justin Timberlake’s sci-fi film “In Time” and told The Hollywood Reporter that he had no trouble relating to the character because they are both white Americans. Kartheiser has talked about white privelige in the past when referring to the United States’ control over several colonies. I wonder what Herman Cain would have to say to Vincent Kartheiser who has also admitted that his career is also strongly the results of luck.

Former leader of Libya Muammar Gaddafi was killed two days ago by rebel forces. What has his body been paraded around the media but Bin Laden’s was not? It does not matter if citizens did photograph Gaddafi’s body because America controls its media hence the lack of coffin photos related to war.

The Washington Post published a story today about Rick Perry and his father hunting at a camp in West Texas known by its rock-painted name Niggerhead. The Perrys first started hunting there in 1983 and the Texas governor claims that his father painted over the word during the 4th of July that year. But several people cited in the story say the name was visible in recent years. Herman Cain, the sellout Black Republican and possible presidential nominee, has called Perry “insensitive.” So far Mitt Romney, Michelle Buchanan, Herman Cain and Rick Perry are proof that Obama will be president again. The Republican party really needs to try harder.

Samuel David Crowe is a self-admitted murderer who was on death row in Georgia up until Thursday night when the Parole Board commuted his sentence to life in prison. Crowe killed a manager of lumber company over a loan dispute by seriously mutilating him by dragging and beating him until he shot him in the head. He committed the crime in 1988 and in 2008 he was spared from death because of his remorse and work with prisoners. How could it be that Crowe who admitted his guilt in a senseless murder gets life in prison but Troy Davis was put to death declaring his innocence in a case that had several inconsistencies? I think it’s also important to note that the Davis case was about a dead police officer too. And when you think about it, why isn’t Johannes Mehserle, the BART cop who murdered Oscar Grant III in the Bay Area still in prison? Why is Casey Anthony free? Mehserle’s deed was caught on camera and Anthony was only convicted of lying to investigators. It’s obvious that Davis had to pay for the murder of Mark MacPhail whether he was guilty or not. Cases like these are why the death penalty needs to go.
