OMFG!

 

I still can’t answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Monday!

 

Long before Live Aid, even before Pink Floyd's The Wall, Sir Bob Geldof led a group named The Boomtown Rats. One of their best was I Don't Like Mondays. Its based on Brenda Ann Spencer, a 16 year old who shot up a schoolyard in 1979. When asked why, she replied...

Folks...

 

As I was driving west on 1st ave north, around 61st street, I saw a sign.  Not a "vision from above" sign, but a little plastic sign - professionally lettered, red with white background, wires to push it into the dirt - the type of sign that would normally say "open house","lose 175 pounds - ask me how!", or "McCain/Palin."

 

But No.

 

It read: "Vote Your Color... The BLACKS Already Have"  (italics mine)

 

 

In brief...  WTF?!?  Are we in f**kin' 1958?  I almost drove of the road.  I intended to drive by after work, hoping to take a picture and document this piece of shit before I tore it out of the ground. But it was gone (thankfully).

 

I'm the largest proponent of the 1st Amendment,  but i think this is like shouting "fire" in a crowded movie theater.

Saint Petersburg is already racially tense,  and this is the just the thing to incite someone to violence.  The neighborhood was predominantly white, and someone paid for this lettered sign, which is the type that is produced in batches.  That means there must be more, right?

 

If so, we are in deep shit.
