Because Ex Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick of Detroit made some kind of personal contact with Sheryl Robinson Wood, a court approved monitor to Kilpatrick she resigned Thursday, the Detroit Free Press and The Detroit News reported. Citing unproved conversations between the two about the ongoing case, she has resigned and the judge has accepted her resignation.

According to a report in crainsdetroit.com, U.S. District Judge Julian Cook said Wood had “meetings of a personal nature” with Kilpatrick. He continued “Wood had engaged in conduct which was totally inconsistent with the terms and conditions of the two consent judgments in this litigation.”

So the notorious Kwame Kilpatrick is trying to influence police and officers of the court in his favor once again. It is beyond me that he thinks he can still get away with whatever he wants and not be further punished for his deeds.

The police department is now under federal investigation, and all monitoring is suspended until further notice. According to other reports, the city has not met more than 39% of the required consent decrees and has made “grossly inadequate” progress in correcting abuses against the police department as it now faces more scrutiny by the federal investigators.

Kwame Kilpatrick is a rat, he stinks up everything he touches. It is a good thing he is out of office. Now the city can begin to clean up its police department and let the city get their house in order while Kwame cleans his own prison cell, I hope.

Detroit deserves much better as the automobile capitol of the country. Yes I know that is debatable at the moment as well. Kwame Kilpatrick did not create all of the corruption that has taken place in Detroit, but he sure did contribute to it in his own way by trying to unduly influence people to do his will.

A court jester is laughed at when he bellows or screams foul, for surely he sits at the court only to entertain the current king. Rush Limbaugh, is no longer at the court of his King, for George Bush is gone. While George Bush was never really a king, and Rush Limbaugh never an appointed or elected official in the United States, they both behaved as though they were just that. They played the game well. Rush Limbaugh played his hand so well, he and the general public in America have come to believe that he is a jester. A jester is a kings fool is known to utter wild musings that have no basis in fact or semblance of truth because they never belonged to a region or had loyalties in one estate or church which was a requirement to belong. The fool never had a fixed place in the kingdom of England like a hierarchy, knave or knight.

King James of England employed a jester named Archibald Armstrong who was thrown out of court because he “over reached himself, and insulted too many influential people. Rush Limbaugh takes to himself the practice to mock politicians and revile with political satire the general public. He has also gone too far, and taken himself far too seriously. In my opinion his real name should be divide and conquer, except all he has done is divide. Maybe his real name should just be “divided” because he surely divided the general public,screamed, and yelled his political party almost into oblivionville. Rush Limbaugh has conquered no one. He has only brought shame to this country by his self appointed egotistical tainting of the truth and twisted reasoning in his radio programs. I don’t understand how he can sleep at night. It is truly a wonder he hasn’t had a stroke right in the middle of his program because of his outrageous loud mouth half truth shenanigans.

The real truth in any argument or loud discussion is that “the person who shouts the loudest is wrong” because they lack the common sense or intelligence to explain themselves and their thoughts in a logical forthright and truthful manner. In other words they have lost control of themselves and can’t explain their thoughts clearly so they resort to screaming and putting the other person down in order to put themselves up. That type of behavior is often called abusive. He is abusive to his listeners and the American public with his loud histrionics. Why is he on the radio airwaves? Beats me.

In my opinion he is a prime example of a male abuser. While on he air he is teaching men to abuse everyone they disagree with, or who disagrees with them. This man is dangerous to young impressionable men and women. Our country has enough abusers who abuse women violently and with their personal bullying attitudes. We do not need someone who abuses everyone while on the radiowaves.

Rush Limbaugh appears to be a fool in jesters clothing, claiming to be an entertainer. What is entertaining about abusing ones countrymen and equal rights? His party lost the election, he actually said he hopes Obama fails if he is bringing in socialism. You could say that getting mail in your mailbox everyday is socialism. You could say that everyone having a bus system in their town is a form of socialism.You culd also say that everyone having access to the internet is socialism. But what about those people who don’t have a $35,000.00 American made car? They need transportation, does that equal socialism? Well, if Obama fails so does the country. In essence what Rush Limbaugh said in my opinion is that he wants the country to fail if we have any forms of socialism.

Socialism isn’t all bad folks. Number one because we already have so much independence total socialism isn’t realistic in the first place. So there goes R.L., frothing off at the mouth and abusing the intelligence of the American public, which is what he does best.

President-Elect Barack Obama’s Victory Train Ride

Robert Kennedy’s Quote “There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why… I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?” In the 60’s this was the thought of some of us even though we were not actively doing anything about it, we applauded those who were. 
Barack Obama acted on this throughout during his lifetime of searching for who he is. This quote is extremely important today as Senator Barack Obama President-Elect of the United States takes his train ride to the Capitol for his inauguration. Today Robert Kennedy’s quote is more revelent than most other days.

Barack Obama also said in one of his campaign stops, “I will never forget that the only reason I’m standing here today is because somebody, somewhere stood up for me when it was risky. Stood up when it was hard. Stood up when it wasn’t popular. And because that somebody stood up, a few more stood up. And then a few thousand stood up. And then a few million stood up. And standing up, with courage and clear purpose, they somehow managed to change the world.”

This is the change he has been talking about since he started his campaign. As he rides the rocking rails of his Victory Trainaccompanied by his wife and children, surely the difference in the past five years alone is a real part of what he wants to change. The times have changed since we had children in the White House. Times have changed since Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves and that now his thoughts come to fruition as we have a black/white man as our president. that is a part of what Dr. Martin Luther Kings dream was all about, quote “An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity. and of course “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” 

Many people have told me that the press needs to be careful about putting Obama on a pedestal. I agree whole-heartedly with that. But let us make sure we all give him the chance to help all of us out of our negativity in the first place. Nothing is ever perfect, only Crystal glass, or car engines that run well. none of us humans are perfect, we all need to remember that, not even ourselves. But we all need to be more positive about what we are doing and be willing to move forward and change things if we can for the betterment of all. Yes We Can is what Obama has said.We must all give in to a more positive outlook on the future and do what we can to make it so as individuals, which will help all of us in the long run. We need to work together all day and every day to make everyday a better place to be for us all.

Headlines today say ‘We are at war’! Truly? Okay, where has he been for the past five years? I mean come on man, get with it, the program says we have really been at war the entire time we have been in Iraq! AGGHH! This is truly the case of the tail wagging the dog. Maybe the Halloween witch finally got to him last night, maybe rolled him in the hay a few times and sprayed him with a magic spell witch oh pardon me for the pun it was all too easy, that he found reality today!

Pardon my sarcasm today folks, sometimes it is so much fun. If it were not for the severity of the situation I would laugh out loud. Truly I wish we were not at war, truly I wish it would end soon. Truly I wish Iraq would govern their own mess, and I would also wish that all parties who are on the financial take there would be severely punished no matter how high the inquiry goes.

It is a true shame that the International Criminal court can’t go in there and just arrest all sordid parties for their greed and intolerance to humanity. That life could be so simple would be blessed for us all. We could go into Darfur and clean that mess up as well. In my opinion that genocide is such a total screw up it may take three lifetimes to even see some semblance of humanity.

While we in the U.S. deal with domestic violence in our homes on a daily basis, our balance of power is nothing compared to those women and young girls in Iraq and Darfur. To the powers that can help stop the violence against humanity, do it, today please, not tomorrow. George Bush just woke up. We need to do it today, because he will change a law tomorrow allowing more male domination in an already egotistically unbalanced world. His laws only affect the U.S. thank goodness.
Long live the freedom of the US as we wae our flags proudly.
