Carey, let's do lunch next Tues. O'Charley's. 11 am. ON TIME! What say you? Question #1, where are all of those buses going to? Do all of these folks BELIEVE they are actually gong to get anywhere NEAR the ceremony? Brothers and Sistas. We can't all go to Washington for the ceremony. The city ain't but so big! "D.C." is smaller than Queens . You wasn't ALL INVITED! I heard of one church that has FIFTY buses going to Washington ! Have ya'll all lost yo minds?! FIFTY BUSES! Where they gonna go? AN' you know some our folks don't do well in the cold! What's Sista Jones and her bad hip gonna do standin on the lawn for three or four hours when it's 10 degrees out? First of all, you know she caint walk from where yall gon hafta leave the bus to where you goan hafta stan', which is gonna be 'bout five MILES from where the President gonna be! An' y'all know ya can't be draggin' all yo lawnchairs, beachchairs, piknikchairsantables widya! You goanna hafta stand all through the ceremony. 'Sides, by the time all them bad hips an' bad knees gits down there to the lawn, the ceremony be 'bout over! That brings ta mind another thing! Y'all needs to leave on time! This ain't goan be lak no chuch piknik or barbeque, an' it sho ain't goan start two or three hours late like some gospel show. Now Brock is a brotha, but he know how to handle his bizness! He don't run on CP Time! Them folks ain't goan stand out in that cold all mornin' waitin for the 10,000 buses and vans comin' from all over to get there. You chuch folks migh jes as well plan on leaving Sunday mornin' - do all yore singin' an' prayin' on the road! Psalm 95 on I-95! (Check it out.it fits!) An' y'all best be plannin' on leavin right afta the ceremony. They ain't goan let y'all jes tie up Pennsavania Avenue all daggone day! I can hear it now - "WOULD YOU PLEASE LEAVE THE LAWN!" They ain't gonna wait while 20 million black folks line up to have they picture taken standin' in front of the Capital. AN' all your marchin' bands, steel pan ensembles, step teams, drill teams, Pee-Wee football cheerleaders, church choirs, jump-rope teams, Elks, Masons, Bisons, Shriners, Miners, Whiners, Evening Stars, Morning Stars, Falling Stars, Deltas, Sigmas, Kappas, Phi Beta Slammas, and fine Gamma Hammas can not ALL be in the pararde. If you ain't got an invitation ALLREADY, you ain't invited! So jes plan on goin' down, an' soon as you inside city limits get off the bus, take your pictures and LEAVE, cause with alla you peeples tryin to git there at the same time, the closest you likely to get to the capital will probably be Baltimore in the north and Richmond to the South. Make sure that you SCHEDULE your time off, an' that includes Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Brack can't be callin' all your employers, an' beein' stuck in traffic on I-95 comin' from the Inauguration doesn't get you no kinda administrative leave! One other thing. remember back in the day when we was all still upset about racism in America, an' many of us was convinced that THE MAN was constantly plottin' our extermination?! Remember when everything was seen as an act of racial GENOCIDE - Welfare Reform; requirements that college athletes meet academic standards to be eligible to play; the DISPROPORTIONATE number of brothas in PRISON; drugs; raising academic standards; even birth control! Well, just suppose there was a way to get ALL of the black people together in one place at the same time. Then it would be relatively easy to get rid of them. Well, as it seems like just about every black person in America is plannin' on bein' at the Inauguration, you don't suppose that all of this could be part of some sinister MASTER PLAN to get rid of black people.do you? For myself.I plan on stayin' home that day an' watchin' everything on the tee-vee. Ah'll probably see mote of it than any of y'all. Besides all that aroma of all that perfume, hair stylin' chemicals, curried goat and fried chicken on a bus for 16 hours would drive me plum crazy. On the other hand, I might jes go down to the church that mornin' an' make a few bucks sellin' some brown-paper-bag-gourmet-food. Besides, there's gotta be at least ONE person left to tell about all this. Anyway, I hope you have a great time and keep Brack an' his family in your prayers! Oh yeah, remember.Jan 20, 2009 @ 7:30 p.m. sharp! No matter where you are, or what you doin' - it's time for the National Electric Slide! Slide to the Left! Slide to the Right! Now everybody clap your hands! www.evehall.com  | ||

 Funny piece, Caged Bird. And true. Looks like we don't have to worry about a contingency of Gays crowding the premises, however. They're all pissed off because the Evangelical minister offering the invocation at the inauguration is against same-sex marriage. Meanwhile back in the Chicago, loud voices emanating from the Board of Education are having a fit about Obama's cabinet-pick for Secretary of Education. All of the school principals, many of whom are sistas, claim Obama's basketball-playin buddy, Arne Duncan, doesn't even have his degree in education, and was ineffective in his job as school board CEO. They also note that if Obama was so impressed with the job Duncan was doing, why didn't he send his daughters to public schools? And the beat goes on. | ||

Caged bird, That piece was really good. I've grown tired of all the chittlin jokes about the New White House but that piece was funny. All the images of US were vividly displayed in my mind. I don't get into the city until late Monday night. I still have to do a little more Christmas shopping. Check this out, I know you got $50.00, so I know you got the check. Am a gentleman but I am also po'. I don't think Tuesday will work. Hey, I have a handsome son. How old is your daughter, I am trying to pawn him off on someone. See, I don't know if I can get away from him because we will be working with one car. Where the heck is that joint you're talking about. I ain't trying to get lost. | ||

Well-Well-Well, look who stopped by for a Christmas nip... Sisg. Lets see, you're about 5' 6", medium complexion... right?  . So many questions. Hey, you should have seen your face in the video. How's your son? What have you been doing? Have you found Mr. right? Wait a minute, I noticed that you jump in Troy's last post *wink*. | ||

Btw, Sisg, I don't know if I told you but last time I got lost after our thang. I ended up in a rough looking neighborhood. But check this out. After turning a few corners I thought I looked like a mark so I went in my street survival mode. My daughter had an old phone in the car so I pulled over the car by a broke down lookin' joint and jumped out like I was somebody and started talking real loud in the phone. I said, "where the f**k are you, am tired of waiting for yo' dumb ass". See, I didn't know where I was and didn't want to ask just anybody. I then walked in the joint and ordered a drink ( I don't even drink). I got back on the "phone" and then asked a person how I could direct someone to where I was. I know this sounds extreme but I wasn't taking any chances. I felt more comfortable in Harlem. I once got lost there too, but I just put on my big stride. You know that stride *lol*. See what you made me do. | ||
