Mythbuster: Female Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton

This segment will be done time to time to dispell any myths out in the ether. I have put on my little funny hat and grew a goatee. So, lets bust a myth today!

A lot of people, for what ever reason, have long spouted myths on why a woman cant be president. This myth is based on a longstanding tradition of male gender bias. We were given the strength, but somehow we feel that makes us better in every aspect of society. WELL, IT DOESN'T! We are no better or worse(well maybe worse depending on who you ask). Lets bust this myth using hillary clinton's bid for presidential election, shall we?

Myth: A female president will lose control over emotions due to menstration...

Buster: I know we have all felt a little bit of "menstral wrath" and i admit it sucks. However, most times you never know when a female is on her period. Do you? Now,that could mean that you are inattentive or it could mean that women, who have menstrated since oh i dont know 13, know how to handle a flux in hormones or that all the poppycock is overexaggerated and there really isnt a negative change in overall demeanor. But all that aside, the average presidential candidate is 55 years old and Hil-dog is 50 since october. Given that menopause, the end of a female's child bearing years, usually brings an end to menstration and begins around 50, i dont think we have to worry about Hillary, to quote family guy, "...menstrating all over the city"

Myth: A female president will not have the tenacity and ferocity of a man, thereby opening up blah blah blah "terrorists"...

First off, i know there are a lot of folks that hate america(not b/c of our freedom but we tend to be dicks from time to time), but lets cool out with the terrorists okay. Yes they are out there and they always have and always will exist but every facet of american society does not have to be affected. If that happens, then, well, the terrorists win. Ok, back to the myth. Second, A female is not physically stronger than a man generally, but possesses an innate painkilling mechanism instilled for childbirth(not to say that doesnt still hurt like the dickens). In essence, the phrase "take it like a man" is erroneous. But thats besides the point, I just wanted to put that out there. Have you ever seen any female of any mammalian species when their young are threaten?...Shit, you better look out. Ever scorned a woman? Shit, hell have no fury. Ever seen a half price sale at Davids Bridal? Shit, there may be blows thrown...

The ferocity is there gentlemen. Its just not expended due to a misplaced step on someone's sneakears or b/c someone said "fuck the redsox"(oh and btw fuck the redsox. just had to get that in there). Have you ever thought that living in a patriarchal society and being physically weaker than men have given women an ability to resolve conflict without the violence. Yeah, you know what they call diplomacy...Diplomacy doesnt stop terrorism, but it sure does curb the creation of new terrorists. Besides, a female president will still have her finger on "the button" for any "one wan' testa". Ask yourself: breasts or penis when one of the most skilled and technologically advance armies ever to walk the planet is waiting in the wings for your call, "whats the difference"?

Myth: Only white males can be president

Buster: Ok, so this one isnt as explictly felt as the other two, but its overt in the voting habits of the public. Christ, for the first 150 years of this country's existence, there were only white men voting. Hey, I am not saying that a woman would be the best president(hard to beat kennedy, lincoln and washington). What i am saying however is that we have voted white males 42 times in this nations history. And, there have been plenty of bad ones(taft, fillmore wasnt all that hot, and the one that shall go unnamed in this column, yeah him too) and good ones. That is to say that greatness isnt always instilled in a cream colored nutsack. Its gonna be a toss up with anyone, regardless of color or ovarian processes. Yes my friends, its about time we give someone else a shot. Don't you think? At least, there wouldnt be any BJ's in the oval office any more. Or at least received anyway. No, i am pretty sure if you reached the presidency you wont have to give 'em any more...

anyway, give hillary a chance if you stand for her principles. Don't let a dearth of testicles affect you. She has the right to be a bad president like the next white,black, mexic..ok who am i kidding white male. Equal ineptitude under the law is what i say!!!! MYTH BUSTED!!!

Loquacious Levity 2-5-2008

I think a rose by any other name would smell different. For thousands of years people have referred to roses as roses. You know the thorns, and you know the colors and of course, you know the smell. There is a certain connotation to the word. Now, lets say we started calling roses- milk and milk- roses. Don't you think milk would start to smell like roses and vice versa?...

So what i guess im saying is...you dont experience words. Just connotations. If you had been told ice cream was poisonous from birth, wouldnt you stay the hell away from ice cream? Wouldnt it smell sour to you regardless of the condition? Or did i just fucking blow your mind...

Or was that the worse theory i have ever had about anything.

Some superbowl commercials cost about 90 grand per 30 seconds...3 grand a second? I understand the price given the number of people that will see it but hot damn i dont think id pay 3 grand/sec for anything. Well, non-sexual that is...

But, that would have to be one hell of a lay though

Happy Black History Month!

I just heard about some virtuous gentleman that was a civil rights activist in the 50's and 60's. Good guy. Powerful speaker, but the poor fellow got shot while he gave a speech. I wonder why I dont hear about him any other time of year? Thats weird.

I know that February is black history month b/c of Lincolns birthday, etc., etc. But, i mean did we have to get the shortest month though? Damn even when america is playing nice, they still fuck us over...

Where the hell is my 40 acres and a mule...

BTW, I would hate to live in an era where 40 acres and a mule represent compensation.

Man, its march 1st and i know i forgot to do something...umm...read some black authors, watched that PBS special about black stars and their ancestors. hmmm what did i forget...

Oh yeah, to bribe my sweetheart for all the fuck-ups thus far and to come...damn...

So if i were broke and couldn't buy a valentine's gift, would that mean i didnt love you...

Of course though if im broke, i probably havent taken you on a date. So shit man you've made it this far...a hug and a lick should do you fine

So its Super Tuesday today. Uh-huh. Riiiighhht....Now remind me why the hell we are voting 9 mths before the presidential election.

Since its Black History Month, lets put a moratorium on the black man=big penis thing. I mean im alright(havent received any complaints) but i get tired of having to live up to the standard...

Oh yeah, another moratorium on the use of the word "racism"in inappropriate circumstances. Just b/c barry bonds has to go to trial, b/c mike vick had to go to jail, b/c a white ref. calls a foul on a black player, or even b/c some jerk like Imus calls someone nappy does not mean that it is racism. No lets reserve that for the inordinate amount of minorities behind bars. Lets reserve that for the lack of minority business loans; the lack of minority home owners. Lets reserve that for our immigration policy, etc, etc. To keep throwing this word around cheapens it. It cheapens everytime a black man was lynched for looking a white woman. It cheapens every time a native american(and thats the only PC term i used on the regular b/c to say indians is actually erroneous given that it was given b/c of a lost explorer) had to walk thousands of miles just to move to another land(the trail of tears: read up on that. it was FUCKED up and my state did that...)...
This word is about hate, unadulterated, turn a good man crazy hate. I spoke earlier on connnotations. Lets not cheapen the connotation of the word. When this word is uttered it should reflect the gravity of the situation it describes...not just b/c you didnt get your way.

This isnt like the term "nigger", niggah, nucca or any of its derivatives, b/c of the fact that the term has been taken back by the people it has been used against(call it empowerment or call it misuse). This changes the connotation of the word...
Now, nigga can be used in its original context, but there again its about connotation. I have no problem with the word used in a slang way. I have a problem though when it is used to convey hate from one to another.

The funny thing is the only difference in physiological terms b/t me and a white man, a hindu man, or an eskimo is the level of melanin in my skin which changes the color of my skin and creates a darker tone.

And, apparently the size of my penis too, but thats up for debate

"You tried your very best...

but i guess your best wasn't good enough"

hahahaha, Man, was that not the best super bowl since NippleGate yesterday?

The titans; The 18-ohmygod Patriots vs. the lowly NFC representative, the Giants. The Super Bowl was supposed to be a foregone conclusion. A mere formality. Lucky for the Giants, the NFL makes you play a game before they hand out the Lombardi trophy.

The funny thing is is that this game did not need to be hyped, especially not for 2 weeks. You had the NY vs. Boston angle. The David vs. Goliath angle. So many stories So much time. And by God the media worked every story to death. By time kickoff came, there was a feeling of "just get this shit over with, please." Frankly, I was rooting for the Giants but was getting prepared for a blowout b/c lets face it: the patriots had the best statistical season ever. Points were nothing for this juggernaut. So, no matter how good you thought the Giants defense was how the hell can they possibly compete with the greatest offense of all time?

But, not only did the Giants slow down the greatest offense ever, they broke the 72 dolphins' champagne bottle over their heads...The Giants defensive line was swarming, penetrating, and relentless. I swear i thought time would stop if Tommy Brady's golden bottom ever touched the ground. However the earth continued to exist after the first brady sack. The giants defensive line like that so much they decided to sack Tommy 4 more times...Eli, formerly referred to as SHE-li, completed one of the greatest plays i have ever seen. You know the play, dont you? You saw it and said "what the fuck is going on". In the fourth quarter, down by 4, the Pats brought beaucoup pressure on Eli, formerly referred to as SHE-li, but Eli never left his feet. He was never planted on his wooden ass. Rather, he shrugged off those blue defenders. Read that line again. This manchild, formerly referred to as SHE-li, formerly referred to as that bum, formerly referred to as "Not as good as the other"Manning, shrugged off 300 lbs men by sheer force of will. Yes, this MANning stood at the cross roads of immortal and irrelevant and threw a frozen rope towards immortality...This pass was then received by David Tyree. Yes, THAT david tyree, the one you've never heard of. This was no common reception. David, in essence, caught the ball with the crown of his helmet and brought it down with a juiced Rodney harrison fighting him all the way down. This play set up the winning score with 30 seconds left...

Eli manning was awarded the super bowl MVP, rightfully so for an award given to one individual. However, this is a misnomer. Eli played amazingly. The defense played astoundingly. Everyone played championship ball. Everyone deserved the MVP. It wasn't that the patriots played a bad game. No, not in the first. They were just as stellar as usual. Albeit, belicheck, formerly referred to as "the genius", should have kicked a field goal when it was 4th and 13, but I am sure Tom Coughlin, formerly referred to as "crotchety old coot", isnt complaining. No, the Giants just played a better game that 9 times out of 10 would have garnered a loss to the 18-ohmygod Patriots, greatest offense of all time.

But, this was the 10th time. This Super Bowl, as most do, changed the entire outlook of the Giants, formerly referred to the "underachieving Giants". Eli will finally have the breathing room he needs to grow into a premier QB. Strahan gets a ring to wear on the set of whatever sports program he eventually joins. It saved Coughlin's job. Yes, there will be a lot of name changes due to this win. The 18-ohmygod Patriots will now be referred to as the 18 and irrelevant Patriots,the "not quite" Patriots. No matter the words the public chooses to describe this Giants Team from the Back page of the NY Post to the muttered utterances of Patriots fans, I think Eli, David Tyree, Michael Strahan and the rest of this team, formerly referred to as "the lowly NFC representatives", will like "Super Bowl Champion New York Giants" the best.

Congrats Gentlemen and Ill see you at the parade tomorrow. GO GIANTS!!!!
