Keith Ellison is the Shit!

[nosmokes]

I just caught his speech(taped) at Nat'l Conference for Media Reform. What a poerful speaker. No wonder the MSM doesn't give him any air play. I imagine they're scared to death of him and his message. Not to mention what he could do about people's perception of muslims. FSM forbid that Americans begin to view muslims as anything other than fanatical bomb toting robe wearing, sandal clad overly rich assassins bent on destroying civilization and eating blue eyed babies. No fear no sales.

1. I'm old....I didn't realize that was a compliment.

4. One of those words that's its own antonym.

Requires context.

6. up is down in a world gone belly up

the rightwing schemers were too effective in turning everything upside down/backward....kids wear pants 1/2 way down to mimic prisoners in jail, who have taken the contempt of mr pig and made the thing itself cool, fashionable...lol, orange jumpsuits are casual wear now, i see guys driving hummers wearing them...

7. Dont worry. You're not the only one.

The old folks in the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's when thru this "hip slang' shock. So do we uniformed 'old' folks of the 2000's. But yeah it was a major complement.

9. Me too. But I do know that bad means good.

2. Glad to know this about Ellison

I'll have to check and see if there is anything on youtube I can share with my Muslim-fearing boss. He thinks they should all be deported "back where they came from", and assumes all Muslims are brown skinned terrorist people out to destroy him and his church. He very handily neglects to think of the fact that the region's heart surgeon, who has saved thousands of lives, is Muslim. And he would have a cow if he knew his office manager was one, I know. :)

3. oh my.

It must be hard to work there.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

12. It would be impossible but for the fact

that the boss is actually IN the office maybe 15 minutes a day. He usually doesn't get his work done, and knows I will politely remind him of the fact, so he avoids me. He won't fire me because he knows the only way he gets work done is me politely reminding him to do it. I'm the first office manager he's had that didn't get fed up with him and quit in a huff. I am working part time for a wonderful woman, and hope it will eventually segue into full-time employment.

8. By any chance does he belong to that church that was saved by a

brown skinned man on a cross!? Ask him for me.

11. That should be shizzle, as in, "Keith Ellison is the SHIZZLE!"

Get with it people!

[Sal Minella]

13. I simply can't stand any more of this intolerance.
