Random Thoughts - Pimps and Politics
Monday 09/22/2003
Welcome to my world, where I have a few random thoughts today. Hip hop music star Nelly has the black clergy all upset and digging into the scriptures to assail the artist, who glamorizes pimps. Nelly uses lyrics like "I've got hos in different area codes", but it's not the lyrics that has the hellfire and brimstone preachers pounding the pulpit, it's the latest Nelly product, an energy drink sold as Pimp Juice. They want it off the shelves, while the Nelly People say pimp juice is anything that attracts the opposite sex. It's your juice, your pimp juice, so keep on pimping. Well Nelly, I'll Pass. I'll stick with Gatorade.
As you know, Wesley Clark has tossed his garrison cap into the ring with 9 other democrats after the presidential nomination. The other 9 are upset with him because he's not joining them in the next Bush burning, they call it a debate. Well candidates, Clark doesn't have to do squat. He's from Arkansas, a very close friend of Bill and Hillary Clinton, who it looks like urged him to get into the battle. The Clintons are still running the show, and if Clark is nominated, you won't believe what you may see going down.
And finally, Governor Gray Davis, trying to dodge the recall bullet in California, pretty well confirmed where he was from last week, when he praised California's diversity by saying, "We have people from every planet on Earth in this state. We have sons and daughters of people from every planet of every country on Earth". Folks, that is a direct quote, and he can't figure out why he's being recalled? One to beam up, Scotty...Energize, as I see it ... I'm H.G. Listiak.
