SO MUCH NEWS, SO LITTLE TIME
T-town, CA – Though Obama has been chastised for his association with his pastor, a Reverend Jeremiah Wright who spoke his anger and frustration with America using his free speech, with Obama ultimately being manipulated into ‘disowning’ his minister by the ‘establishment’ and the media, no one is making much of a fuss over the Associated Press story about Roger Byrd, pastor of the South Carolina Jonesville Church of God who put on the front church marquee, under the hours of church operation, in big bold letters: “OBAMA, OSAMA – HUMMM, ARE THEY BROTHERS.” Pastor Byrd said he wasn’t trying to be political. I guess he just wanted to keep it racist and ignorant for the flock.
WILL THE SCENE SURVIVE??
It used to be that you had a choice of real entertainment around here on a weekend night. Now as you glance at the free local ‘rags’ nightlife sections, ‘boneless 50¢ drumsticks Thursdays’, and ‘happy hours’ dot the landscape as entertainment offerings along with ‘drunk people doing bad things to good music while hoping to get lucky’, I mean karaoke. FVE and Bill Gould are trying to bring an essence of youth cool back to the valley by throwing rock and new music shows ‘at the Merch’ in Old Town Temecula on Friday nights beginning on May 9th. Local teen band 15 North is slated to be one of the first acts showcased in the series.
WILL RIOTS ROCK CLEVELAND?
‘Could be, if Obama isn’t elected president’ sports the latest political rumor rolling through the lightest skin sections of the suburbs around Cleveland, Ohio. Though they say this election isn’t about race, which is true since only the human race is involved in the process, this election does appear to be about skin color and gender, and also about having a memory of how we got this far (out of whack).
WHICH ONE IS WORSE, NIXON OR BUSH?
Well, the results are in. A Bush stinks worst than a Dick. Today’s official result is that George Bush is the ‘worst president EVER!! Nixon’s worst disapproval rating was 68% but George Dubya broke the record with a 71% disapproval rating today. Guess the 29% represents government workers who were polled. Was there ever any doubt? Even Roger’s old sainted diehard Republican aunt admits, “He just isn’t too bright.” It used to be, ‘Hungry, eat your foreign car’. Now it’s, ‘like losing your home, like $4 a gallon gas, thank a Republican and the man who said, “Mission Accomplished” 4,061 U.S. body bags ago. Meanwhile plans continue unabated to create the Amero (a North American currency similar to the Euro), build a ‘tank friendly’ highway from Mexico to Canada (already started in where (?), oh, John ‘More of the Same’ McCain’s home state of Arizona), and an aircraft carrier is being readied for the ‘smackdown’ of Iran. I think George can get to the 75% level myself, don’t you?
LOCALS TO DISCUSS ‘ARE WE ALONE?’
Rounding up today’s news bits is this notice that a number of locals thinkers are set to meet tonight at Nirvana’s new age gift shop to chat about whether we are ‘alone in the universe’. The meeting is to begin around 7PM at the strip mall housing Michael’s Pizza that is located at the corner of Margarita and Pauba Roads. Personally, I’ve always thought that if we are ‘it’, what a terrible waste of space (pun intended).

I had a very lengthy reply to the Reverend Wright thing and I’m pissed I hit a wrong button and it went away. So to summarize…
Wright forced Obama’s hand, not the establishment and media. The media has helped Obama throughout his campaign (being an Obama supporter I know this) Wright made comments that offend potential voters that Obama needs. Personally I don’t think his Pastor’s views should be considered his as I wouldn’t want my friends views thought of as mine, but people of all colors are trained to think in absolutes.
Which goes to Pastor Byrds sign. I don’t think it’s racist and believe the moron when he says that he’s trying to say since their names are similar maybe Obama is Islamic/muslim. It’s not because their both not white, it’s just that he’s ignorant for damn sure. Why isn’t this more of a big deal, why not on the scale of Reverend Wright? Because Pastor Byrd isn’t John Mccain, Hiliary Clinton (pick a white candidate and place name here) pastor. Automatically playing the race card, seems like another absolute for people to buy into. Weither it was done because of racism I can’t say, I’m not bold enough to visit peoples intentions, but I’ll take his word for it because, well doesn’t make him look any better being religiously intolerant.
Can you please site the Cleveland paper and article, I’m curious to read it myself.
Obama leads in popular vote and will not be beaten in States won, I think the average democrat or independent voter is fine with well anything about him. If he doesn’t win will it be because he’s black? I don’t know, again I don’t think in absolutes, I prefer an open mind to all events.
Also living in Arizona I’m wondering where this highway is being built. I’ve seen nothing on the news or in the papers, even our underground papers. Please site your source and location of where this has started as I would like to drive by and visit the area and shake my head at it. Plus I think someone like Arizona’s Governor Janet Napolitano (who is in the running for Vice President inside sources in the Democrat party here tell me Obama and her have discussed it) would be more to blame then someone like John Mccain, but I guess it’s too hard to not try and put a cheapshot on Mccain is it?
Otherwords I wish the new scene venue luck and look forward to reading the articles you sited.
