<p>My good people. Alvin Greene will not rest until he makes a complete ass of himself in every possible venue. This time, it&#8217;s on the radio&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Greene, the Democratic U.S. Senate candidate from South Carolina, <a href="http://www.bvblackspin.com/2010/09/01/alvin-greene-dances-during-radio-interview/">made an appearance</a> on WBT-AM in Charlotte, NC radio station recently to talk issues. </strong>He even got up and DANCED during the interview <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ar09czbfE8o">to a YouTube clip</a> that was made in tribute to him. Yes, this grown ass man and &#8220;Senate candidate&#8221; tapped his inner Diddy during a media appearance. Is it me, or does he look like he was <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnPJmDc0b_M">trying to &#8216;Dougie&#8217;</a> for a second?</p>
<p><strong>Where did South Carolina go wrong as an electorate?!</strong></p>
<p>On the business side of the interview, Greene avoided a lot of the tough questions about his sketchy military record and charges that he showed pornography to an 18-year-old girl at the University of South Carolina. He tried to stick to his talking points of jobs, education, and justice.</p>
<p>I did find it interesting that Greene doesn&#8217;t support the Don&#8217;t Ask, Don&#8217;t Tell policy against openly gay soldiers serving in the military. Ummm, since he had such a <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/07/22/alvin-greenes-military-re_n_656176.html">suck-ass military record</a> himself, who the hell does he think was supposed to take his place when he was discharged?? He couldn&#8217;t even get through routine tasks without a to-do list and mass amounts of supervision.</p>
<p>You can hear the entire podcast of the interview by <a href="http://site.wbt.com/podcasts/player/wbt.cfm?ID=2">clicking here</a>.</p>

LOL .. yes really ..</p></div>
<p>The headline gave me a pretty strong WTF face. You know what that means. &#8220;Houston, we&#8217;ve found a PJM post!&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Christian values group, Focus on the Family, is <a href="http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/08/focus_on_the_family_dont_let_gay_activists_hijack.php?ref=fpb">speaking out against the tone of anti-bullying efforts</a> in schools.</strong> They want to play down the assumption that the gay students get picked on by bullies, therefore needing more protection. It&#8217;s a bit of reverse logic. It seems like they are acknowledging that kids get picked on. But, you better not focus on the fact that the kid might act or be gay. Info like that can only further the &#8220;gay agenda.&#8221;</p>
<p>This is laughable. That&#8217;s like me saying that racism exists. At the same time, I&#8217;m not allowed to note the fact that some people who are discriminated against happen to be Latino. It&#8217;s a messy logic.</p>
<p>Focus On The Family obviously does not support gay rights. They are entitled to that as a group. As a result, they are trying to make sure gay rights activists don&#8217;t pollute our kids with <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">truth</span> information that gay kids sometimes do get picked on. It seems better to acknowledge that kids are bullied, but not talk about why.</p>
<p>Bullying is wrong against anyone .. the ugly, overweight, weird, short, gay, disabled, or any other type of &#8220;different&#8221; kid. I&#8217;m just not sure if an approach with less information is the way to go. Their strategy is really confusing me&#8230;.</p>

<p><strong>President Obama took to every open airwave he could find on Tuesday night to announce that combat operations in Iraq have ended! </strong><em>*does a jumping jack*</em></p>
<p>But, before we break out the streamers and confetti, please know that we still have 50,000 troops over there supporting the Iraqi security forces and American civilians. That number is still way too high for my liking, but hey, you can&#8217;t have it all. In the speech, the President says that ALL troops will be out of Iraq by next summer. Hmm .. *side-eye* Really Mr. President?</p>
<p>The speech itself was relatively brief and to the point. The war in Iraq as we have known it is over. We are in a support role now. The U.S. is flat broke. Our spending was jacked up on this pointless war. We lagged in supporting and upgrading ourselves. We have not properly handled education, manufacturing, job creation and other basic principles of a decent society.</p>
<p><strong>In short, we&#8217;ve gotta get our own house in order. </strong>You know, it&#8217;s all of the things we already knew, but lawmakers are just now publicly admitting. Of course, you can watch the clip to see how POTUS said that in a much more governmental and professional way than I did.</p>
<p>There were a few unrelated asides I noted from the speech. <strong>Who the hell is doing his makeup?</strong> I know it was 8:00 p.m. But, they made him up damn near like a corpse for the speech. He was two shades darker than I remember him. The sun at Martha&#8217;s Vineyard is NOT that strong during his vacation.</p>
<p><strong>Also, I don&#8217;t like how it seems he looked down on us when he&#8217;s talking. </strong>Yeah, he&#8217;s the President, but again, it was 8:00 p.m. Lose the desk and unbutton the top of that shirt. The camera angle in the beginning SUCKED and there weren&#8217;t enough close-ups. This is not a board room, it&#8217;s TV for the American people. You know we have short attention spans. We care more about aesthetics than substance. C&#8217;mon Barack&#8230;</p>
<p>Those are my two cents. I received a few good messages <a href="http://twitter.com/prunejuicemedia">on our Twitter page</a> after I watched the speech late last night. Feel free to tweet me your thoughts as well.</p>

<p>I love the <a href="http://www.newleftmedia.com">New Left Media</a> videos. I&#8217;m amazed at how anyone can go to these Glenn Beck/Sarah Palin/Tea Party rallies and keep a straight interview face while people say some of the dumbest and ill-informed things.</p>
<p><strong>The latest NLM video is from last weekend&#8217;s &#8220;Restoring Honor&#8221; rally hosted by Glenn Beck on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.</strong> The premise of the video is simple. They walk around the crowd and interview people in a very straight-laced, sarcastic-free tone about the issues of the day. For the Beck rally, the NYC mosque controversy, immigration reform, and the direction of the country were hot topics.</p>
<p>This video is hilarious, sad, and confusing all at the same time. So, I thought I would offer some highlights from the video that you need to check out:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ht8PmEjxUfg#t=0m53s">0:53</a> &#8211; This lady doesn&#8217;t even know what the hell she is saying. I damn sure don&#8217;t either. It&#8217;s adult gibberish like Charlie Brown&#8217;s teacher. &#8220;Wa wa wa wa wa wa wa wa..&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ht8PmEjxUfg#t=1m41s">1:41</a> &#8211; MULLET ALERT!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ht8PmEjxUfg#t=1m56s">1:56</a> &#8211; The U.S. is the &#8220;last bastion of hope..&#8221; for the world. Not even Canada comes in a close second.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ht8PmEjxUfg#t=2m50s">2:50</a> &#8211; The guy claims that Al Sharpton had &#8220;his Black Panthers&#8221; at the simultaneous rally held on Saturday. Untrue. They were people marking the 47th anniversary of the March on Washington and Dr. King&#8217;s speech.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ht8PmEjxUfg#t=3m37s">3:37</a> &#8211; None of the people in this small ground believe that Glenn Beck ever said Barack Obama was a racist. If they did their homework, they would know <a href="http://www.dailykostv.com/w/001989/">he said it on FOX &amp; Friends</a> on July 28, 2009.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ht8PmEjxUfg#t=4m58s">4:58</a> &#8211; She can&#8217;t believe that Americans elected someone who was so &#8220;anti-progress and anti [American] pride..&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ht8PmEjxUfg#t=5m34s">5:34</a> &#8211; According to her, Barack Obama is a &#8220;Muslim at heart,&#8221; even though she admits he is a Christian.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ht8PmEjxUfg#t=5m40s">5:40</a> &#8211; Just the way she is hanging out of this lawn chair with her big shoes is cracking me up! She also says the government has taken away freedom of speech. Her example is that you can no longer pray at monuments, like the Lincoln Memorial. WTF?! She couldn&#8217;t, however, name when the government took away this right.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ht8PmEjxUfg#t=6m57s">6:57</a> &#8211; Video shot of &#8220;Protect White Cracker Babies&#8221; t-shirt.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ht8PmEjxUfg#t=8m03s">8:03</a> &#8211; Man claims that Muslims are building a &#8220;victory monument&#8221; at Ground Zero for their &#8220;outlandish attacks on America.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ht8PmEjxUfg#t=10m18s">10:18</a> &#8211; Woman claims that having immigrants in the U.S. is a &#8220;health risk&#8221; to Americans.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ht8PmEjxUfg#t=11m44s">11:44</a> &#8211; Woman is stumped at how her logic doesn&#8217;t make sense of how illegal immigrants have babies in the U.S. to get citizenship. The parents can&#8217;t get citizenship from the child until that child is age 21. Still, she says her &#8220;sister in Arizona&#8221; sees preggy immigrants waiting in parking lots to give birth.</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>Overall, the video is just a glimpse of how uninformed and one-sided people can be. Now, I&#8217;m not saying that everyone at Beck&#8217;s rally was like this because they weren&#8217;t. It&#8217;s just amazing to see this small group could be this out of order!!</p>

<p>I&#8217;m shaking and trying to hold my loins as I type this. If there are men reading this, you may want to walk away from the computer.</p>
<p>The World Testicle Cooking Championship <a href="http://eater.com/archives/2010/08/30/testicle-festivals.php">took place in Serbia</a> where various animal testicles are cooked and eaten by participants. Eating animal testicles is said to increase male libido. Hmm, don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;ll ever get up the &#8220;balls&#8221; to try that one (pun intended).</p>
<p>President Obama received probably THEE strangest award in his career from this festival. <strong>He was honored because &#8220;he showed he has balls&#8221; by taking over the U.S. in such a rough economic and political moment in history.</strong> You already know the Prez was NOT on hand to receive or even comment on this distinction. Though, I do agree with their reasoning because I&#8217;m surely NOT trying to be president.</p>
<p>No word yet on what the award looked like. I&#8217;m sure you can use your imagination. Let&#8217;s just say it won&#8217;t be on the mantle in the Oval Office. Michelle is NOT going for that one!</p>

<p>The Congressman took to <a href="http://twitter.com/RepWeiner/status/22533078378">his Twitter account</a> this week to seemingly lash out at Republicans with his idea of a Campaign 2010 slogan. He said:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;It takes a great man to build a barn.  Any jackass can kick it down. Campaign &#8217;10: You with the builders or the asses?&#8221;</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>That&#8217;s my kinda language!! Simple, to the point, and accurate as hell in 140 characters or less. Later, Weiner said that he wasn&#8217;t attacking Republicans. But since he put it in the framework of a campaign slogan, you gotta use common sense to know who he was talking about.</p>
<p>I do find it somewhat ironic and funny that a Democrat would use the &#8220;asses&#8221; metaphor. The donkey is the symbol of the Democratic party. Also, you gotta love a guy with a last name Weiner making a fuss about anything. I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;s taken his fair share of jokes over that one.</p>

<p>President Obama got right back to work as soon as his 10-day vacation in Martha&#8217;s Vineyard ended on Sunday.</p>
<p>The First Family flew to New Orleans to mark the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. <strong>While in the Big Easy, POTUS sat down with Brian Williams of<em> NBC Nightly News </em>to discuss a few of the day&#8217;s issues. </strong>This included topics of the day such as the NYC mosque controversy, the false rumors that he is a Muslim, New Orleans recovery, the oil spill, etc.</p>
<p>Watch the President comment on some of the controversy, in particular, surrounding his nationality. This is where yesterday&#8217;s <a href="http://www.prunejuicemedia.com/?p=2829">Quote of the Day</a> came from. In short, Obama doesn&#8217;t have time for the haters. LOL!</p>
<p>Let me know what you think of the interview.</p>

<p>I know some of my readers swear by their &#8220;primetime shows.&#8221; But, I&#8217;m just letting you know that you&#8217;re going to have some interruptions this evening at 8:00 p.m. ET if you watch the major networks.</p>
<p><strong>President Obama is <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE67U0LR20100831">set to address the nation</a> about Iraq this evening.</strong> Today, August 31, marks the firm date that he set during his campaign to end the combat phase of the Iraq War. He will remind viewers that the U.S. has pulled out all but 50,000 troops from the country. They will remain for security and other non-combat purposes. Troop levels had once been at over 170,000 during President Bush&#8217;s surge.</p>
<p>Vice President Joe Biden is actually over in Iraq speaking with leaders there while the president gets on the horn with us here in the U.S.</p>
<p>So, adjust your DVRs, tune in, turn the channel, or do whatever you have to do. The president will be on a TV near you. Just a friendly heads-up&#8230;</p>

<p>This is the walk of shame (depression, if you will) that you feel when you come back from vacation and know you have the pit of work (and/or school) ahead of you. We all feel it, even the First Family. They can front all they want to about their REAL feelings in this picture. <strong>In their minds they are saying, &#8220;Damn, can we have another week of PEACE please?!&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>The Obamas ended their 10-day excursion to Martha&#8217;s Vineyard on Sunday with a quick trip to New Orleans, then back to Washington. The family stopped through the Big Easy to mark the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina before heading home.</p>

<p>The city, at least 130 miles (215 km) southwest of the Texas border, landed on the warning list at the end of last week. The drug trafficking fight is getting out of control in the city, inching ever so close to schools and other places where children are vulnerable. The traffickers have been kidnapping people right out of hotels, blocking police access to certain parts of the city, and attacking customs and immigration posts.</p>
<p><strong>I read this latest travel warning with my freshest WTF face and my mouth agape!</strong></p>
<p>The core of the travel warning is focused on minor children of U.S. employees of the Consulate General in Monterrey. After September 10, minor children of Consulate employees will not be allowed in the area. The best solution the U.S. government has come up with is to get them all out of the area. The local authorities and military are not able to protect all areas of the city and schools. There are also bans against road travel for Consulate employees between the U.S. and several northern Mexico cities that are not along the border. These are smart and necessary moves.</p>
<p>Basically, Northern Mexico is off the chains with violence! This is a major drug route from Central and South America to the U.S. and points beyond. There have been major firefights all along the U.S. &#8211; Mexican border and deeper into the northern Mexican states for the past few years. The violence is only getting worse.</p>
<p>To put it in perspective, 2,600 people were killed in Cuidad Juarez in 2009. In Detroit, one of America&#8217;s most dangerous cities, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_Detroit,_Michigan">that figure</a> was 379.  Many of the people killed in the Mexican violence are members of drug trade organizations. According to the travel warning, about 22,700 people have been killed in Mexico since 2006 due to drug-related violence.</p>
<p><strong>In plain English, this means STAY YOUR ASS AWAY FROM NORTHERN MEXICO!!!</strong> There is nothing over there that important (other than family) that you need to be &#8220;touristy&#8221; and going to explore unnecessary sh*t. The cartels, coyotes, and whatever else lurks over there are packing serious heat and will put fire in that ass!</p>
<p>Now, run take that to the passport office!</p>
