Tangy Tuesday...The Walmart Chronicles

I know this may sound nuts, but I really hope drugs has played a roll in the assembly of these outfits. Cause if not mental illness is running ramped in Walmart's across America.








This isn't even really tangy, just funny. Go head Grandpa 2-Face!
He's probably had this suit since his prom back 1936.

Louisiana Judge Denies the Swirl...

You know this story doesn't even surprise me...I know where I live and I know good and well any country who had to be forced to pass laws to make a race of people "equal" to it citizens is going to have things like this happen. You can change laws (though that doesn't protect us from some of the racist B.S. that pops off on a day to day basis) but you can't change the mentality of people.


Here's the full story in all it's insanity...

Interracial couple denied marriage license in La.

By MARY FOSTER, Associated Press Writer Mary Foster, Associated Press Writer – Fri Oct 16, 4:50 am ET

NEW ORLEANS – A white Louisiana justice of the peace said he refused to issue a marriage license to an interracial couple out of concern for any children the couple might have.

Keith Bardwell, justice of the peace in Tangipahoa Parish, says it is his experience that most interracial marriages do not last long.

"I'm not a racist. I just don't believe in mixing the races that way," Bardwell told the Associated Press on Thursday. "I have piles and piles of black friends. They come to my home, I marry them, they use my bathroom. I treat them just like everyone else."

Bardwell said he asks everyone who calls about marriage if they are a mixed race couple. If they are, he does not marry them, he said.

Bardwell said he has discussed the topic with blacks and whites, along with witnessing some interracial marriages. He came to the conclusion that most of black society does not readily accept offspring of such relationships, and neither does white society, he said.

"There is a problem with both groups accepting a child from such a marriage," Bardwell said. "I think those children suffer and I won't help put them through it."

If he did an interracial marriage for one couple, he must do the same for all, he said.

"I try to treat everyone equally," he said.

Bardwell estimates that he has refused to marry about four couples during his career, all in the past 2 1/2 years.

Beth Humphrey, 30, and 32-year-old Terence McKay, both of Hammond, say they will consult the U.S. Justice Department about filing a discrimination complaint.

Humphrey, an account manager for a marketing firm, said she and McKay, a welder, just returned to Louisiana. She is white and he is black. She plans to enroll in the University of New Orleans to pursue a masters degree in minority politics.
"That was one thing that made this so unbelievable," she said. "It's not something you expect in this day and age."

Humphrey said she called Bardwell on Oct. 6 to inquire about getting a marriage license signed. She says Bardwell's wife told her that Bardwell will not sign marriage licenses for interracial couples. Bardwell suggested the couple go to another justice of the peace in the parish who agreed to marry them.

"We are looking forward to having children," Humphrey said. "And all our friends and co-workers have been very supportive. Except for this, we're typical happy newlyweds."

"It is really astonishing and disappointing to see this come up in 2009," said American Civil Liberties Union of Louisiana attorney Katie Schwartzmann. She said the Supreme Court ruled in 1967 "that the government cannot tell people who they can and cannot marry." (unless you are gay)

The ACLU sent a letter to the Louisiana Judiciary Committee, which oversees the state justices of the peace, asking them to investigate Bardwell and recommending "the most severe sanctions available, because such blatant bigotry poses a substantial threat of serious harm to the administration of justice."

"He knew he was breaking the law, but continued to do it," Schwartzmann said.

According to the clerk of court's office, application for a marriage license must be made three days before the ceremony because there is a 72-hour waiting period. The applicants are asked if they have previously been married. If so, they must show how the marriage ended, such as divorce.

Other than that, all they need is a birth certificate and Social Security card.

The license fee is $35, and the license must be signed by a Louisiana minister, justice of the peace or judge. The original is returned to the clerk's office.

"I've been a justice of the peace for 34 years and I don't think I've mistreated anybody," Bardwell said. "I've made some mistakes, but you have too. I didn't tell this couple they couldn't get married. I just told them I wouldn't do it."

Did he really say that he lets the black people he knows use his bathroom? Just the simple fact that he felt the need to say that says a lot to me. And he "treats everyone equally"? This man doesn't even seen to know and doesn't seem to know what "equally" even means. Since when do the personal feelings take precedence over the law?

And peep the book I found while hunting around for more info...I bet Justice Bardwell gives these out as stocking stuffers.

Willie Lynch lives on...Tsk Tsk Tsk!

Iron Mike on Oprah...

Wow...that was a tearjerker man...Brother man bit his lip and sniffled through damn near the whole thing.


I know it sounds odd to some but I love me some some Mike Tyson. I feel like the man is just under educated, had a rough upbringing (lost mother young, never knew his father, foster care etc.) and is just seriously misunderstood to some extent.

Brother man needs a serious hug and some therapy.

It's not in this clip, but for those who saw the whole interview, was I the only one who heard Oprah say she would be 'scurred' of him too?

The movie came out back in 2008 and is available on DVD
so if you ever need a good movie, pick up "Tyson".

Naked Yoga...

One day, my aunt and I were backing out of her
driveway and out of the corner of my eye I saw this...

What the heezy???

I ask my aunt what the heck this is about and she tells me,
just as calm as ever, that this is her neighbor and he does this a few times a week...

Well alrighty then!

Here's a close up for all of you freaks out there who like a lil' man booby in their lives.

Why Do They Sell This Crap?

So a few months back I went to visit a friend in the hospital in DC.

(She's doing great now, in case you were wondering. Hey Geisha Girl!)

Anyway, I was wandering around the hospital in search of an ATM machine and I came across a line of vending machines.


This being one of them!


How the hell could a hospital sell this B.S.? A Philly Cheese Steak and a Wings? And that thing on the sesame bun isn't even a burger, it's a Fish & Cheese sandwich...WTF??? Really!!!

I actually looked through all the machines to see what semi healthy snacks they had and all I could fine was salted peanuts...not a Granola Bars in site...

And don't even get me started on the food they serve in these hospitals.
That alone tells me the medical field DOES NOT have any true concern for our health.

A different friend of mine was in the hospital last week (she's preggers but doing great...Hey Soy Joy & Mr. Cheeks). When I got there she was eating her 'dinner'. It consisted of, a veggie burger on a white bread bun, white rice and broccoli so over cooked it looked more like a green lumpy oatmeal.



Now don't get it twisted, I only consider myself to be a semi health nut but I do know 'the whiter the bread the sooner your dead' and I know these hospitals know that nutrition is just as, if not more important that these medications they are pumping into us at an alarming rate.

I watched Bill Maher the other night and he had Elliot Spitzer on as a guest and he said he was on the board for a hospital and when he came in they told him there was a 98% occupancy rate, and his response was 'that's horrible, what do we do?" and there response was "that's great". These hospitals, drug companies, and many food companies are making millions making and keeping us sick.

An one thing I can't seem to get out of my mind is that my friend that is pregnant is a vegetarian. She wasn't always...I think she crossed over a little more than a year ago.

While visiting with her she told me that many years ago a doctor told her she would likely never have children. Her husband and her have been together for about 8 years, no pregnancy. She's goes vegetarian and BAM she's preggers...coincidence...I think NOT.

People, we have to take our health into our own hands. There is just too much money to be made insuring that we are dependent on their drugs to think that we can put our health into anyone else's hands blindly.

Remember the origin of the word disease...it is a DIS-EASE of the system.
The idea is to correct it, not medicate it so you don't feel the effects.

OOOO, HIS Lip Gloss Is Poppin'

I know it's not Tuesday but I got a real TANGY taste in my mouth when I saw this picture...

I know D. Wade left his wife and started getting a taste for the swirl and I've heard some stories about Quentin, (right Brandy???) but don't go this far to the left Bro...back away from the Lip Gloss (and the TANG)!

I know it may be too soon but I don't care...

Has anyone else peeped the fact that Jermaine Jackson looks entirely too much like a black version of Max Headroom???

I mean I’ve known something was way past off for quite some time now, but I’ve finally figured it out…


I figure he bought out or and is single handedly trying to keep the business afloat cause this right here makes not one lick of sense...

What on God's green earth did Joe Jackson do to those kids???
