Can someone tell me why it has taken economists so long to formally announce that we are in a recession? Claims of a recession were being denied since this summer and finally in the last months of 2001, it is finally acknowledged. Why is it that circumstances have to be in dire straights before our American Government will admit what working class people already know? I'm sorry but this country is built on bullshit ya'll. You can go ahead and rally behind "Hand in his Bush" if you want to, but me - I see him for who he really is even in my limited knowledge of politics. The man is a thief and puppet for a bunch of rich motherfuckas somewhere. We won't find out who and why they rigged the election until our children are grandparents, providing we don't render our own selves extinct by then.

Why do we always seem to go into a recession when there is a Bush in office (some would say a Republican) but as for me, I don't trust any politician because no white man is going to be able identify and make laws on behalf of a black single woman who is the mother of two. My parents always want to go back and relive the good ole days and talk about how good Kennedy was, I tell them that they may as well reminisce about Abe Lincoln too if they want to create romantic fantasies about white presidents that "loved" black people so much. Truth is (and they hate when I say this) no president that we put in office is going to be much use in regards to us regular working folk. Plain and simple. How can they? The government is ran more like a prison, with all of the fucking and sucking, backstabbing, lying, cheating, and stealing going on. And sadly but true, the bills that are designed for the middle class Americans are the ones that take it in the ass. We sit and glorify this idiot just because we are in some deep shit and we applaud him because he finally gives the word to go over there and bomb the hell out of what is left. Give me a fucking break, how much brain power do you think it took him to say, "Gentlemen, let's go to war" he spits empty ass clichés whenever you see his dumb ass on tv and his cheeks are always flushed which is a tale-tale sign of being a liar with white folks (per my own personal research). No, I'm not a racist but you will say I am. Well if I'm a racist what is your fucking president? Sticks and stones motherfuckas!

Anyway, I'm writing because I am just fed up with all of this bullshit. They are airing a special on the first Bush and his dried up ass wife with family pictures and home movies. WHY? Who in the fuck asked to see this shit and why is it on my tv? Do you think this is coincidental. I'm-a-tell ya'll - these Bushes got us by the nuts, (us meaning America). Since when did we become so in love with the Bush administration and his damn father anyway? You haven't heard shit about Clinton since he moved to Harlem. He is the brunt of every joke in Washington as his dumb ass should be. His stupid ass did what no other president did - got caught with his pants down. Now if you think he was dumb all by himself- you are wrong. In order for his ass to get caught, it would have had to been some set-up shit going on. They have kept every whore a secret whom each president has fucked through American history but they catch Clinton? Do the motherfucking math ya'll.

Ok ok ok, I know this is the holidays and my message should be about one of reflection and Thanksgiving but I'd rather tell ya'll to watch ya back, and those canned foods and water and shit you put up for Y2K, hold on to that shit, cuz if it gets any worse, we are going to need that shit after all. I still got my potted meat and Vienna sausage stash. For those of you that lost loved ones on September 11th in any shape form or fashion, for those of you whose jobs were impacted in anyway by September 11th, for the rest of us who just feel really fucked up inside, and for those of you whose eyes are blinded by the truth of what kind of country you live in - you have my deepest prayers and sympathy. On September 11th we all lost something significant in some shape form or fashion.

Happy Recession Holidays!
