RCdc -> .we are growing up. (11/6/2008 9:52:03 AM)

Oh blow it.  I have had enough negativity to last me a whole year with the whole Obama/McCain thing.  And I hesitated posting this earlier because I didn't want to start yet another thread on the whole thing.  However, the beautiful Lady Tigresse posted something that made me feel compelled to post this link because I saw I wasn't the only person tired of all the sniping and negativity.
 
So, for some words of wisdom and feelings of hope, turn up your speakers and listen to the wonderful Maya Angelou on this election.

Oh God, not Mya Anjalou!
I hope Obama picks "Fitty Cent" as "Poet Laureat."

~Fitty's poem for BinLaden and al qeada~
"We put nuclear bombs on your *A*ss and you *RIIIIIIIISE* Muthafucka!"
"You be takin' de *MAGIC CARPET RIDE!*"
"Gonna burn your ass UP!"
"Rise, Rise, Rise, muth...fucka!"




slvemike4u -> RE: .we are growing up. (11/6/2008 11:17:17 AM)

That's our Popeye,there is no culture wasted on him.




popeye1250 -> RE: .we are growing up. (11/6/2008 11:28:30 AM)

Hey Mike, what rymes with "Mutha-Fucka?"
Fitty Cent is much better at that "RAP" stuff than me.

try this:

ef you a plumba or a trucka i don't care what you says,
i ain't your brutha sucka, cuz now i is the prez.

i think that works at least 2 rhymes into there.

Congratualations Mr Obama.  my sincere, and quite selfish hope, is  that you are the best president this country has ever seen.




SilverMark -> RE: .we are growing up. (11/6/2008 12:50:45 PM)

Fitty Cent's got nothing on you Popeye!....keep rapping you are bound to improve!....







RCdc -> RE: .we are growing up. (11/6/2008 1:19:55 PM)

A work in progress.
I wanted to post this earlier as well as the video, but it wasn't working.  BBC must have been over loaded.

What a lovely post!!
.....waving from across the pond!........

 
I agree that many of us "will rise!"
I have never seen so many people that have been
able to "rise up" and be so very proud of America!

Okay I responded and thanked the.dark earlier,went and saw my 70 y/o mother later in the afternoon,I challenged her to watch this piece and not cry....I went to the cbs.com and saw the whole piece including CBS's setup to it.Well needless to say the both of us failed my little challenge.
