So much has happened since the late time I blogged, I figure I’d write a little blurb about everything. Just Wrong. Common and Queen Latifah are starring in a new movie.  I want to shoot myself.  It looks terrible.  I officially hate them both. So much that I want to pull a C. Delores Tucker […]

Juxtaposed to Michelle Obama with her premium Ivy-League education, Sarah Palin was a mom […]
