well, you know, gestation takes a lot of damn energy.

so it's not like i haven't wanted to blog. i have. but this fetus? he is eating my brain. and my usually pithy self has been reduced to occasionally over-zealous endorsements of cheetos, jalepeno poppers, and barack obama. all three of those things, have made the last four months of dry heaves, all-day sickness, and general maliase, totally worth it. (you know, so has the prospect of niblet, of course, but that's one of those things i presume is assumed...) anyway.

the only thing more annoying than losing 20 pounds while pregnant? (cuz, you know, you're SUPPOSED to get bigger..but i've always been a rebel...) hillary freakin clinton. seriously. in 2003, when we were betting on who would run, my boyfriend and i were in a heated argument over hillary. he said that, no matter what, he'd never vote for her. i told him he was being stubborn, and probably a little bit sexist. and he laid out his reasons, which had to do with shady politics, and underhanded dealings, and 'issues' that were never resolved in the media to any great satisfaction. (to his credit, he didn't bring up vince foster or the blow job once.) i told him that he'd been paying attention to CONSERVATIVE media, and that, while BILL might be a shady assface, hillary just wanted to help the women and kids!

boy is my face red. i actually said yesterday, for the first time, 'if that heifer gets the nomination in november, i will stay the fuck home.' and gene was like, 'wait. you told me back in the day that you WANTED a woman president! and i know you love you some obama, but not voting? really?' and the answer, ladies and germs, is yup. well, if cynthia mckinney manages to stay on the green ballot, i'd vote for her. but the salient point is, i will NOT vote for hillary rodham clinton come hell or high water. that heifer is on notice.

i was mad about South Carolina. i was mad, but i was like, okay. after this backlash, they'll settle the hell down. nope. here comes bob johnson. here comes charlie 'uncle ruckus' rangel. here comes stephanie tubb jones (who better watch herself, cuz she's up for re-election soon, and black folks are gunnin for her ass-i promise she'll have a primary challenger this time around.) and you know, now it's not a mistake. the muslim email in iowa. it was a low level staffer...i could see it as a mistake. your boy who was like 'they'll call him a drug dealer!' was a surrogate, and i thought, well...maybe that's coming from his own media-fed paranoia of the scary black drug dealer. she fired him too. but after SC, she established a damn pattern. dismissing states with more than like, 3 black folks. waiting until she was at the state of the black union to give a half assed apology for her dumbassed husband. (although, if he were DUMB, i'd forgive him! but his ass grew up in the south! he's dealt with black voters all his political life. so that comparison to jesse jackson was a calculated as a math problem.) the muslim garb photo--even if she didn't release it, here comes stephanie tubb jones AGAIN talking some 'he should be proud of his 'native garb'!' bitch, his native garb is khaki's and a damn polo shirt. he was born in the USA just like bruce springsteen, so STFU. omg.

then on CNN, she's all 'he's not a muslim...AS FAR AS I KNOW'. well. hillary isn't making backroom deals with the canadian government to smear obama...AS FAR AS I KNOW. she's a lawyer. she knows the power of a good qualifier. that left just enough wiggle room. karl rove is prolly taking fucking notes for november.

and then she blacked him up in her TV ad. and not only did she make his ass darker, but she made his face squatter, and his nose wider.

i love black features. i love african beauty. i am proud of my nose, and my lips, and my hips, and my dreds, and i even bought that 'black is beautiful' t-shirt back in the 90s.

but she tried to make that shit ugly. forget the outright race-baity ignorance of it all. she tried to turn this beautiful black man, into a stereotype. the scary black man meme.

fuck her all the way to denver, america. show her racialicious ass that we love obama. we love him lightskinned, and we love him as the 'skurry negrObama'. and we won't support ANYONE, republican OR democrat, who tries to win the presidency on the backs and souls of black folks, while simultaneously telling white folks 'be scared of obama. be scared of muslims. brown people are dangerous. they will break into your house at 3am and eat your babies! rawr!'

now that i've riled you all the way up, go donate 10 dollars to my halfrican hero. barackobama.com

Just wanted to say, YES! I love this post. It echoes so many things in my head right now. I cannot wait until the NC primary so I can get out and support him with my vote. hillary wants to win by any means necessary and it really makes me sick.

Fantastic post!
