Blacks are boycotting the academy awards because, and i quote SPIKE LEE, "one of ours wasn't nominated for a major award." well, slickster, take a long look at this list:
MICHAEL KEATON
AARON SORKIN
RIDLEY SCOTT
JOHNNY DEPP
HELEN MIRREN
TODD HAYNES
ALL outstanding performances or technical accomplishments this year but the academy chose to NOT nominate them. AND THEY'RE ALL WHITE!!! damn those commies!
i see no other choice but to boycott the black boycott and watch host CHRIS ROCK perform to an empty auditorium. but wait! i can't watch ...because i'm boycotting. which brings up an interesting point: will the black chris rock boycott with the rest of the idiots or boycott the boycott?
the bottom line is that EVERY year, someone gets left out because other than the top ten films, there's only five nominations spots for each category. you think those white 'snubs' weren't disappointed? of course they were but life goes on. just imagine if a player wasn't chosen for the all-star team and decided to sit out the rest of the season. ridiculous.
if they're really that upset, then turn down those monster paychecks you get for making a movie by saying 'no' to every white director and every studio run by a white guy and only work in all black films. let me know how that worked out for you when you're bagging groceries at the jewel.

is DONALD TRUMP really happy that the village idiot, SARAH PALIN, has publicly endorsed him for president? palin was the surprise vice-presidential candidate for a desperate republican party in 2008 and promptly flushed away any chance they had of winning with nuggets like "i read four newspapers a day but i can't remember which ones" and "i can see russia from my back porch" before trying to walk away with loaned designer clothes that had been provided for her at various times during the campaign. it still feels like fingernails on a chalk board every time i hear her name.******************************************************
GOVERNOR BRUCE RAUNER wants to appoint a state board to take over the finances of the chicago public school system which would then allow CPS to declare bankruptcy. the system has been cash strapped for decades but chicago mayor RAHM EMMANUEL is '100% against the idea.'
*****************************************************
NOW does anyone want to sit down with rauner and work out a balanced budget?
**********************************************************
MIKE MADIGAN needs to get his head out of his rear end and get down to business because most of the flak is going to fall on the heads of the democratic party when jobs are lost and doors are closed because they won't compromise with rauner. desperate times, desperate measures.
********************************************************
i agree 100% with the governor. he promised a balanced budget and he's sticking to his guns. it's not easy to correct years of financial abuse and the dems are learning they'll have to play ball or suffer the consequences. good for the guv and boo to madigan for his personal pissing match.

Now here's a situation to discuss at the dinner table: a convict is released from prison after serving 15 months and is promptly served with papers from the state to pay back the $30,000 cost of his incarceration. as we all know, few convicts have any education or job skills but they do know how to sell drugs and steal. how do you think he's going to pay it back?
*************************************************
in a major change from when i was a kid, millennials are taking a pass on getting a driver's license. one out of every four between 20 & 24 years of age don't have a license and the MICHIGAN TRANSPORTATION BUREAU believes it's because of ride sharing services like UBER and also because young people are in constant touch through social media and no longer have the need to 'see' their friends in person. thirty years ago, 92% of the same bracket had a license and we hounded our parents to take us to the secretary of state's office so we could take the exam. today? not so much.

ok, i leave you to your own thoughts until april when i return from mexico. stay warm & safe. adios!
