Bill Moyers Nails It!!

I must admit, I have never watch Bill Moyers Journal on PBS and I’m not familiar with any of his work. But his essay on Rev. Jeremiah Wright hits the nail on the head.

Take a moment to stop, look, listen with an open mind, then decide for yourself. Feel free to post your opinions but I have no commentary for the video speaks volumes!

Thanks to JsNana for emailing this to me! ;)

 

Deranged Woman On Marta - UPDATE

I wrote about this foolishness earlier this week (What Would You Do) and I am so glad that MARTA (Atlanta’s rail system) police are investigating and have issued a warrant for her arrest. According to news reports, the police know her name but are not releasing it to the media at this time.

After canvassing the East Lake Station where the suspect reportedly exited the train, MARTA police received an anonymous tip that the incident occurred on March 31, between 2 and 4 p.m. The tipster also indicated the suspect has been known to ride Bus 22.

After identifying the suspect, MARTA police have obtained an arrest warrant.

“We want to assure the public that this is an extremely isolated incident and that customer safety and security are our highest priorities,” stated MARTA Police Chief Wanda Dunham in a release. “We regret that any customer had to endure such harassment while using our system.” Read the full story HERE.

I hope and pray to God they find this girl. If it is determined she is not mentally ill, they need to lock her butt up!! If you did not see the video, you can see it below:

This video disturbed me so much, I can’t begin to tell you. I don’t think I could have sat there watched this girl insult and disrespect the elderly woman AND NOT do anything. Yeah, I understand I could have put myself in harms way but at the very core of my being I know I just could NOT have sat there silent!! All I can think of are my grandmothers (who are both deceased), my mother, and how I would feel if that happened to them.

Old School Friday #11

Here is my pick for this week.

Michael Franks (born 18 September 1944 in La Jolla, California) is a smooth jazz singer and songwriter from the United States. He has recorded with a Who’s Who of artists, such as Patti Austin, Brenda Russell, Art Garfunkel, and David Sanborn. His songs have been recorded by The Manhattan Transfer, Patti Labelle, Carmen McRae, Diana Krall, and The Carpenters.

His best known works include “Popsicle Toes”, “Monkey See, Monkey Do”, “The Lady Wants to Know”, “When the Cookie Jar is Empty”, “Tiger in the Rain”, “Rainy Night in Tokyo”, and “Tell Me All About It”. His biggest hit came in 1983 with “When Sly Calls (Don’t Touch That Phone)”, from the album Passionfruit. Radio hits include “Your Secret’s Safe With Me” from the 1985 album Skin Dive, and “Island Life” from 1987’s The Camera Never Lies. [Source]

Michael Franks’ music evokes memories of my days at LSU and the major crush I had on F.Blunt. His music was playing on the cassette tape player while we made out in his dorm room after drinking a bottle of Asti Spumante. The making out didn’t go any further than some heavy petting. Yep, those were some good times!!! 8)

Enjoy!

Port-o-Potty Upgrade

These are photos of a new public restroom in Houston. It is made of one-way glass where no one can see in but once inside, you can see out.

Would you utilize the facility? Could you?

Sorry, I couldn’t do it! NOPE! NO WAY!!! I have enough bathroom hangups as it is and this would have me on the verge of being potty challenged the rest of my life!! 8)
