Final Katrina Post Dammit!!

I refuse to let my peeps start to squabble over this, so this will be my final word on this topic. I have never said that Hurricane Katrina was not devasting, what I have said is that I am tired of people that keep saying that New Orleans was devastated by the hurricane.

HERE I have linked the Wikipedia article on Katrina. Read the whole damn thing and decipher the Left-Wing bent and even they can't say that New Orleans was hurt that badly. This article also calls Katrina the "deadliest" hurricane in United States history. Keep in mind that is not true (it was third).

Also, I have continuously said that New Orleans experienced eighty mile per hour wind. That is a casual day at the damn golf course for most of us, but somehow it destroys a major city? Hinky.

The explanation of the hurricane Saffir-Simpson Scale HERE for those of you who have no idea what the Hell a hurricane is.

On to my lastest, mostest, finalest point. Those morons, such as Kayne West, that think that only Black folks were hurt by the hurricane better buckle up. It seems that Kayne is chock full of stupid, dumbass, racist (did I already say "dumbass?") ideas. As if that was not apparent enough to anyone that is not a mouth-breather.

Read THIS and see how stupid Kanye actually is.

One Year Later

I just don't know what to think about the crazy talk about it's Bush's fault that New Orleans still is swinging a rat on string trying to get back to snuff after Katrina. For those of you who are actually intelligent, you know that New Orleans was spared Katrina's wrath.

Anyhoo, today the Beau Rivage reopens on the Mississippi Gulf Coast that was actually hit by the storm. Five hundred fifty million dollars and one year was what it took to get back up and running. Yea Capitalism! Since some of the folks on the coast are still struggling, I hope you don't take this the wrong way.

New Orleans and the State of Louisiana can kiss my ass. Y'all are a bunch of whiny crybabies that deserve everything that you get. Hey, reelecting Nagin was a G R E A T idea.

And in case you are wondering, the picture above is from Long Beach, Mississippi which was twenty miles East of the hurricane's eye. The picture was taken one week after the storm. I refuse to show the pictures that I have of Waveland. New Orleans was sixty-two miles West of the storm and experienced a whopping eighty mile an hour gust of wind. Damn, wonder what would have happened had New Orleans gotten hit by a hurricane? And for all of y'all that know absolutely nothing about hurricanes, like the major television networks, the West is the good side.

Folks can keep on believing that Katrina just jumped all over poor New Orleans, but the incompetence of local officials and the failure of a contractor in Louisiana to do his damn job, caused all the damage there. HERE is a link to photos of the REAL hurricane damaged areas. So, please, please, please quit talking about New Orleans, please?

The Solution to the Urban School Problem

Yea, I know that I have a bit of a G_d complex. It's easy to get there when you have all the answers, but this one comes straight from Bean. Not only does she have the face of an angel and the body of a porn star, but she also possesses the mind of Rainman. Wait, that's not quite right. Albert Einstein, then.

Anyhoo, my whole circle (which means approximately 1.2 people) is up-in-arms about the article that I penned dissing Tom Brokaw and his report on Lanier High School in Jackson. Remember, I'm a racist because I don't parrot the Liberal mantra on solving inner city schooling problems. This opinion originated with Bean, so she is the racist now. Send me hatemail for her and I'll pass it on.

There was a conversation this morning regarding one of her family's friends trying to purchase a house in a particular neighborhood to no avail. It seems the covenant of the neighborhood places a limit on the occupancy of each home. "Mike Brady, we don't want your kind here."

This conversation dissolved into one on racism in general, loosely tied to the urban school problem. Mr. Brown, you are sure to be impressed with this idea.

Here we go. Everyone is familiar with the old adage, "There goes the neighborhood." This idea came about when one Black family moved in, property values go down. Forget about Capitalism or cause and effect, it's just about the Black family, right? No, Punkin', it's about supply and demand. When racists decide to move because of their neighbor's skin color, they create an overwhelming supply, while decreasing demand. Ask a farmer, he/she/ambiguous other can explain that concept to you. It's not the Black man, it's the White one.

Now, how does this solve the problem of urban schools? Easy, Sunshine. All we have to do is create a "Get One Family Out Da 'Hood" fund and move that family into a good school district. See the line, Duddits? No?

Okay, I'll keep going. When this ghetto family moves into the gated community up the road, instantaneously other families start to move from the "rich" area creating a glut of housing in that area. Then the prices fall and other poor families move in. Two birds with no stones......

We capitalize on the racism completely and totally. Not only will the teachers at this good school stay in their current positions, but the administration will as well. You know as well as I that once a teacher starts at one school, they are there for the duration. Check your old schools. See if your first grade teacher is still there. No, no, no, do it now. I'll wait.

......

What did I tell you? Mrs. McCleod is still there isn't she? How old is she now, 700? Biblical ages abound in the public school system. You wanna live forever? Teach English at Murrah.

Now, we take this thing even further to a cyclical never-ending conclusion. When property values decline in the new "poor" neighborhood and the "rich" folks have built another new school to serve Buffy and Chipper, our school should be falling apart for lack of repairs due to lost revenue and tax receipts.

"Load up the Escalade, Jamal, we're moving again!"

Economics 101: The Two Dogs Way (cont)

Damn, damn, damn. More about increasing the minimum wage? When will politicians ever learn math? Here we go.....

You see, the people who employ workers have to make a damn profit or otherwise they go out of business. When their lowest paid employee gets a forced government raise, everything that the employer relies on to make a profit increases in the exact same ratio as the rate of the labor increase. This is called "covering your overhead."

Most people, even though they attended government schools, can understand that if a product is produced with a labor cost figured in, the producer has to charge the consumer for that labor cost or lose money.

Whenever the minimum wage is increased, employers cut down on jobs because they cannot afford to pay more for labor that is not worth what they have been paying in the first place. Therefore to maintain profits, they cut workers. Rainman could understand that. G_d how I wish he would run for political office. "Congress sucks."

Now, here's the insult to injury part of raising minimum wage. The people that were making more than minimum wage actually receive what amounts to a pay cut. That means that every employee that is getting paid more than the lowest rate has to spend more of their salary to purchase the same amount of goods or services simply because of a feel good policy that does absolutely nothing to enhance the life of the poor.

Now to add even more injury, the overwhelming majority of minimum wage employees are students living at home with their parents. So to make sure that Buffy and Scooter get to buy more ecstacy, we have to pay more for a Big-Mac.

And even more insult, who do you think that the evil Capitalists will turn to for the labor? Why of course, Earlene, the damn illegal immigrants, because they will do the "low paying" jobs that our deadbeats refuse to do. And they will not get paid minimum wage or contribute to our economy.

So, every time some slack-jawed politician saids "we need to raise the minimum wage", what he really means is that he hates the person that actually works for a living.

Ponder this a moment, how many minutes do you have to work to purchase one Big-Mac? You'd be surprised.

A Captain Obvious Post

Captain Obvious says, "Those of you that think that Islam is evil and should be eradicated from this planet are religious bigots. Quit harshing on the religion, it is simply the people that practice the religion that are the epitome of evil. It ain't the religion's fault."

'Nuff said?

Taken Completely Out of Context!

Excerpt from an actual conversation.

Young girl behind the lunch counter in a small town: Do you want salsa on your moo?

Jimmy Pete: Why yes, yes I do.

Two Dogs: I got wood.

Yep, folks, I am twelve years old.

Lanier Article Counterpoint by H.E. Brown II

In the comments from my previous post about Brokaw's hit-piece on our city, a teacher from Lanier has entered the debate. And y'all know that I always appreciate anyone's view if it contains good grammar.

From Mr. H. E. Brown II
I work at Lanier High with the Algebra Project. Two Dogs, you obviously haven't researched your information thoroughly enough. You are the prime example of why right wing and left wing extremists are the real decay of America. Lesson #1, Bill Clinton didn't have a thing to do with the levees in New Orleans. Read Rising Tide, by John Barry. The history of that particular levee system dates all the way back to 1925! Lesson #2, The area surrounding Lanier was not always a poor neighborhood. Before "assimilation" (because integration never occured, otherwise there'd be white students at Lanier) all Blacks, including the well-to-do blacks lived in the same communities with poor blacks. That's good ol' common sense. After assimilation, those blacks who could afford to move into formerly white neighborhoods chose to do so.

And please, could you be a little more creative! Stop using muslims as a scapegoat for terrorist activity. Read Terrorism and 9/11: A Reader. The actual term "terrorism" originated from a European country by the name of France in reference to those who fought against the establishment during the French Revolution. The same ideals which helped "liberate" this country from the British.

It's also despicable to see that you are cowardly enough to slander the names of teachers, students, and community leaders, all the while going by the pseudonym, "Two Dogs." I happen to know Mr. Gordon very well. You have no idea of the positive impact that Mr. Gordon has on everyone he works with, black, white, rich, poor, etc. If only a third of the men in this country were as devoted to Christ and their community as he is, there would be economic and social progress all over America and I wouldn't have to waste 10 minutes of my day reading asinine material that the internet allows.

No, Lanier or the Georgetown area is not perfect. There is still a lot of change to be made. I still get depressed driving back and forth from school to home. But at some point, real men have to decide whether they are going to be a part of the solution or a part of the problem. I agree with your statement that Brokaw did this piece to make "his rich buddies feel better." But, what makes your "blog"-for lack of better term-any different?

And my rebuttal to his comments
Mr. Brown, I certainly appreciate your comments. I wish that I could teach you humor, but it appears to be somewhat far-fetched.

My information happens to be somewhat better than yours. Usually someone that wants to call me out on things will actually e-mail me and discuss those things. And I always respond with my real name if they don't threaten to kill me. That is what civil discourse is about. People with differing opinions working for a common goal.

I would hope that teachers would be appalled that Brokaw did this hit piece on our city and Lanier instead of attacking me. I am nobody.

Oh, and if I would quit receiving death threats from those kissy face Muslims, maybe I could blog with my real name. Religion of Peace, baby.

Point by point on your comments:

The levee system renovation that failed was designed, bid, and constructed during Bill Clinton's Presidency. Unless that was in 1925, you are dreadfully wrong, sir. And you must be able to tell that the comments are completely tongue-in-cheek about that anyway.

And if you would check your opinions regarding whether or not Georgetown has always been poor, you will certainly realize that when a few rich folks move into any poor area, it does not change the fact that the area is still poor. It's a math thing.

About the Muslims, you must admit that the only terrorism that has happened in the last thirty years has been perpetrated by Muslims. I must say that there have been a very few exceptions, but they prove the rule instead of disprove it. Again, it's math.

And, Mr. Brown, you obviously do not know the meaning of slander, because I never did that at all. I am sorry if I upset you by stating my opinion on what these people need to do, but that is the nature of opinions. I hope that you let Mr. Brokaw know what you thought of his idiotic opinions as well. That might have had some impact on things.

I do not know Mr. Gordon at all. His statements are racist. My opinion. I must say that he could be the greatest thing since a pocket on a t-shirt. The statements about what he wanted for his daughter does seem a little tasteless in retrospect, but I've made those mistakes before and will again. And I hope that you are talking about the asinine article that was linked in my post. Because my opinions are mine and you are slandering me right now.

Your final point was a good one and it is my sentiment exactly. There were no real men involved in the making of Brokaw's hit-piece and if the Black community will ever open its obviously collective eyes to what is exactly happening, it will be a good thing.

Oh, why do you DRIVE to school anyway? You do LIVE in the area, right?

There is a G_d!

As usual the "Black Spending Habits" search is sending me all the traffic that I get. And guess what? Finally I have found another person that actually cracked open his brain and read that USA Today article and realized the lies contained in the data.

Although I just accepted Yolanda Young's data at face value, Tim Wise does me one better. He actually read the study that Ms. Young used for her data and reports the total truth of the matter. You, go read THIS, now!

Well, how about that scholarly smackdown? Okay, maybe he's somewhat smarter than I am, maybe he has access to better data than I do, but I bet him a million dollars that I can drink more beer than he can.

And in case you want to revisit Black Spending the Two Dogs Way, HERE it is.

And HERE is Tim's website.

Uh, It's Racism, Right?

For the past two weeks, I have mulling over the prospect of writing an article about Tom Brokaw's "journalism" regarding the racism involved at Lanier High School in Jackson, Mississippi. Make no mistake, I never watched the program that aired on July 23, because I had already read the transcript and I knew that it was simply another ham-fisted, idiotic, guilt-invoking piece. Journalism? Yea, in the same vein as Maury Povich and Jerry Springer.

Oh, and thanks to Curtis for sending me the link. He's a race-baiter friend of mine that always stirs the bucket. And I fall for it every damn time.

The ARTICLE. I have no intention of reprinting the article, that would be a waste of characters, so go read it and hurry back. I'll wait. (It's MSNBC, so they might take it down at any damn time to make room for more stories about Jessica Simpson's see-through dress, you better hurry.)

Otay, Buckwheat, what you tink?

Well, let's get started. When the article starts with the rehashing of Hurricane Katrina and explains that Jackson received a little damage, it fails to say anything about the same in New Orleans. Folks, remember, NEW ORLEANS DID NOT GET HIT BY KATRINA! It was on the damn good side of the hurricane. The Mississippi and Alabama Gulf Coast got hit by Katrina. Please folks, go back and look for any type of hurricane damage at all in New Orleans. The roof got blown off of the Superdome, but it was a crappy roof. New Orleans experienced whopping eighty mile an hour winds, which is another ordinary day in Altus, Oklahoma at Bean's new home. New Orleans got flooded by a failed levee system that was constructed by the Democrat Government of Bill Clinton. It's Clinton's fault because G_d hates Democrats.

Whoops! Off subject again.

The history of Lanier High School and the Georgetown area is one chock full of the poverty-whore stories that everyone has come to know and love. Yes, it's a poor, Black community. Yes, it's in Mississippi. Yes, the whites are completely nonexistent in the area. But, no, it is not an instance of racism. This area has always been poor and Black. It's just that since the moral decaying process caused by "civil rights" legislation started, the area has progressively declined. Remember Lyndon Johnson's quotes when he signed the first hunk of this crap, "If you take away the will of a man to work, you break the will of the man."

Sorry for the tangential tirade about the DEMOCRAT racist President that hated Black folks, but so is the nature of the DEMOCRAT party. Always has been, always will be. Dammit, I gotta focus.

There are no businesses in this area because by definition, businesses get started by ambitious people to make money. You see, Penelope, you can't make any money if folks are too damn scared to come to your place of business or everything gets stolen every damn day. And surprisingly enough, if nothing but poor folks live in your area, the chances of them buying your product are slim to none. They are POOR!

Now, on to the controversial, pistol-packing mayor, Frank Melton (DEMOCRAT!) and former Mississippi Drug Enforcement Agency Director under Governor Ronnie Musgrove (DEMOCRAT!). Frank has been trying some very unorthodox tactics to break up the Wood Street Players Gang and rid the area of the drugs. The next player in the article, Ronnie Agnew (Left-Wing Liberal Gannett newspaperman) has fought Frank and his tactics every step of the way. Ronnie has allowed every single one of the articles about Frank to show him in a negative light. Granted, I think that Frank might even be breaking the law, but those in the City that are fighting Frank are mostly Black folks that don't want crack dealers arrested. And DEMOCRAT! And that includes the District Attorney Faye Peterson, yet another Black DEMOCRAT!

Sidebar: If you still believe as many do, that Mississippi has more racial problems than say, New York City, you are a blithering moron and need to quit reading my blog entirely. Instead read Ted Rall, he's more to your liking. Trivia: Mississippi has more Black elected officials than any other state in our country. Check it.

Now, on to the school itself. Lanier has been the poster child for every bit of Leftist propaganda ever introduced in the United States. The school was built to offer up one of the first case studies in the Church of Diversity. My personal experience with the school is limited to helping a classmate of mine in college (that graduated from Lanier in the top of his class) write papers for Writing for Architects class. He didn't know what a verb was. Top of his damn class. But, his self-esteem was off the damn charts, I tell you!

While you read the comments from some, Hell all, of the people that Brokaw interviewed, you notice that they all sound like morons. Even Ross Barnett's (DEMOCRAT!) daughter. Let's not even get started on her obviously trying to save her soul from Hell by attempting to undo the racist policies of her DEMOCRAT father.

Now, the single, most ridiculous statement in the article was the one about the best Black teachers getting transferred to White schools during the Sixties. Let's ponder this asinine statement for a minute. Let's assume that it was true. Damn, I made myself laugh. If Mississippi was such a damn racist place even then, why in mortal Hell do you think that anyone would put a Black teacher at a White school when the DEMOCRAT legislation of integration said nothing of the sort? Dunno, Einstein, why you think?

Then we go on to read about Charles Norton (CRACKER), who still teaches at Lanier after all this time talk about how the poor, little, Black kids loved to touch his hair. How cute! And right after that they go on to report that the Whites started putting their kids in private schools and moving. If there were ever Whites in the neighborhood, why do you think those poor, little, Black kids wanted to touch Moonbeam's hair? Ooooo, contradiction! Imagine!

Folks go on to say in this article that race has everything to do with where you live and where to shop. Dumbass #1: "Hey, let's go shopping down in Georgetown." Dumbass #2: "Uh, there aren't any stores in Georgetown. It's a residential neighborhood." Dumbass #1: "Racist!"

Priceless Quote A: Vince Gordon is a youth minister who graduated from Lanier high.

Vince Gordon: This is the capital city and we have no movie theatre. How many capital cities have you visited without a movie theatre?

Brokaw: Because it’s now a predominantly black city?

Gordon: Right.


At this point, a hideous humming noise started in my head and I got an incredible desire to surf porn, but still I continue.

Less than six years ago, the Alamo Theatre (research this!) renovation was completed in downtown Jackson. An opening night gala was planned and then on the night of this gala, while people were streaming into the theatre, gunmen drove by and sprayed the front of the building with bullets. It was the damn Klan, huh, Two Dogs? No, Punkin', it was dope dealers using Muslim tactics trying to maintain the status quo. Not nearly as romantic as the Klan, but true nevertheless.

And Vince Gordon obviously wants his school-age daughter to become addicted to crack and get pregnant, otherwise he would have never endangered her by moving into the area. Oh, remember, she gets straight A's at a school that turns out folks who don't even know what a verb is.

Now, I am going to ridicule the school age children.

Bit Players

Alicia Ruffin: My pity cup runneth over. This is probably a sweet girl that spends her entire day reading the Bible and helping retired, widow women with their grocery shopping, but she sounds like a spoiled hussy that likes to smoke, drink, and get laid. My heart breaks for her child.

Nancy Sylvester: My G_d woman! You must be the patron saint of Negroes! You work all day and night and buy clothes for those poor kids? Get your Congressional Medal of Honor right freaking now! Bitch!

Fameika Thomas: My dear, you are a good woman that did what she was supposed to do to take care of her siblings. I am dreadfully sorry that someone told you that becoming a social worker was a good idea. And to take out student loans to get that degree. Go back to night school and get a degree in something where you won't have to waste your life on a fruitless career. Best of luck to you because you are the only hero in this article.

Betty Smith: Throw your damn worthless family in the damn street so you can enjoy your golden years. And thanks for your contributions, maybe you should direct them towards someone who appreciates them. Just saying.

Crack Mama Thomas: Leave those damn kids alone. Move somewhere that you will never poison their lives again. If you continue to harass Fameika, the woman who saved your kids, you are evil.

Ruth Ruffin: You failed with Alicia. Succeed with Alicia's baby, because that child is YOUR responsibility.

Chanel Williams: To steal a quote from Benard Goldberg, "Lanier is to Honor Students, what hyenas are to opera." Don't be discouraged, go to Community College so you can learn to read and write, then go to College. You'll do fine if you stay out of Liberal Arts.

The Entire Preister Family: The gene pool is depleting. Sit down and shut the Hell up!

Oh, I almost forgot to talk about the basketball player that got kicked off the team by the mean, mean coach. You see, there is only one damn thing that is actually successful at Lanier. It's the basketball team. The coach is a complete hardass that DEMANDS a certain level of performance from his players. He is a good coach and he wants to win. I'm guessing that is a terrible way to offer these boys a way out of the ghetto, but let's forget for one second about the bad apple. What about the rest of the kids on that team that did not get kicked off the team? Do we want to teach those kids that you can do whatever the Hell you want to do and still get a free ride?

Now, I play the "five-year" game. In five years, Alicia will have three more kids, be hooked on crack, and her kids will become the next generation of the same thing that Lanier has always had. Until our society embraces again the tenets that made this country great and completely sticks the stake through the heart of the cry-baby culture that we have become, nothing will change. A wise person once said, "Insanity is doing the same things over and over and expecting different results."

Anyway, Brokaw finishes up this smear piece of Black folks by stating that this is happening in all urban areas. Why did he pick Jackson, Mississippi? I'll tell you why. So our Great State can continue to be the whipping boy of the Northeast Liberal Fantasy States that turn out these same products even in the wealthy, white neighborhoods. Brokaw did this piece for the sole purpose of making his rich buddies feel better about how bad they suck.

Hooray for Google!!!

As always, people looking for explanations of all things ghettofabulous come to this little joint. And as always, I disappoint. Oh well.
