Texas book signing troubles – Need help from the Texas contingent

Okay, I’ve been having a heck of a time getting a signing scheduled for October 17th. 

My job is sending me to San Antonio for training, so I was going to stick around an extra day and sqeeze in a Texas signing.  It was one more I got to do without having to pay the airfare myself.  But as I’ve been calling around, everyone in the San Antonio/Austin area has been booked.

I don’t really know my way around down there.  If you are from the San Antonio/Austin area, and you’ve got a local store that would have me on that Saturday, could you let me know?

I’ve talked to most of the B&Ns (as that is always a good one) but there is some sort of Texas book event going on then, and most of them are already scheduled. There is a big independant called Book People in Austin, but I’ve not heard back from them.  If you know of something else that would want to host me and order in a case of books, please give me a heads up.

ACORN, Still Pimpin'

Acorn still pimpin'

 

This poster was Miguel’s status on Facebook.  Words to live by right there. Still pimpin’, still tippin’, still wood grain grippin’, you know what I’m sayin’ G?   

It turns out that yet another sting was released yesterday.  This time from National City, which is outside San Diego.  The ACORN immigration expert was extremely helpful in trying to get James and Hanna hooked up on how to import El Salvadoran sex slaves. They told him that they were thirteen to fifteen years old, but hey, whatever.  I can say one thing for ACORN. Those guys have some kick ass customer service.  I’m talking about service with a smile!

Remember the ACORN lady from San Bernadino? The one that talked about how she got away with murdering her husband, and then advised the stingers not to let their teenage hookers learn to read, because then they’d get uppity?  Yeah. That little cup of sunshine.  Well, she was in the paper yesterday saying that she had only gone along with it because she was there by herself, and she was “intimidated”. 

Was she intimidated when she took them across the street to meet with another douchebag who gave them more advice about pimping in the area?  

Meanwhile, you know it is bad for ACORN when the senate votes 83-7 to not give them any more money.  When Al Franken thinks you’re scum, that is really saying something.  It says something about those other 7 senators though, like the ones, ironically, from Illinois. (hmm… I’m trying to think… isn’t there some other famous guy from Chicago that originated in that same evil, corrupt, political machine?)   

Keep in mind that ACORN is part of the same organization that helped Obama get elected.  Billions and billions of stimulas dollars were being funneled to ACORN.  It turns out they’re totally corrupt.  So maybe, just maybe, we should look into this? 

And the government actually wanted to use these corrupt scumbags to conduct the census.  Remember, that little thing that determines US population, and how many congressmen your state gets?  Yeah, the thing that determines the balance of power?  Yeah, that little thing.  The same people who have no problem with 13 year old El Salvadoran hookers were going to take care of that for us.  I’m sure nothing bad could possibly happen there.

ACORN is having an “internal” investigation… I’m sure that will be just swell.  It will show that these 5 seperate incidents were all totally isolated cases, just flukes… figments of your imagination. 

I’d like to see an investigation.  I’d like to see an actual RICO investigation.  I’m talking, old-school, take the down the Gambinos kind of thing.  I don’t want an internal investigation.  That’ s not good enough.  I want the FBI.  And because they answer to Eric Holder, who answers to Barack Obama, I don’t want regular FBI.  Iwant the hardboiled, doesn’t give a crap, bad-80s-cop-drama, alchoholic, wife left him, but does the job, no matter what, kind of investigator to go in there, kick ass and hit people with phonebooks until they confess kind of cop.  I want John McClane and Jack Bauer and Bob Lorenzo to head up this investigation.   

Because I’ve got a sneaky feeling that the corruption runs deep, like a great flowing black river, deep in the bowels of the earth.  I’d like to see heads roll, and not just at the street trash, local ACORN level.  I want to know about the congressmen and senators ACORN (the non-profit) was illegally using tax payer money to win elections for.  I want them to roll over on their bosses, and theirs bosses to roll over on their bosses, until this cancer has been cut out with a bone saw.

I've got to hand it to John Stewart

http://www.thefoxnation.com/acorn/2009/09/16/stewart-skewers-acorn-blasts-media-getting-scooped  I’ve been bagging on the regular news for not saying a word about ACORN being a bunch of criminal scumbags. Even the Daily Show is ashamed they got scooped by the cast of High School Musical 3.  

You realize, that all John and Hanna need is a talking dog and a hippie van.  I can see it now. Barack Obama will be tied up after some elaborate trap, and they’ll yank his mask off, revealing that he’s really Fidel Castro. Then he’ll say “And I would’ve gotten away with it too, if it hadn’t been for you pesky kids!”  Then we’ll all laugh and laugh.

It doesn't matter what we say anyway…

Waste of precious oxygen, Jimmy Carter, had this to say about Joe Wilson’s outburst:  “There is an inherent feeling among many in this country that an African-American should not be president.”   http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/sep/16/jimmy-carter-you-lie-racist  Good old Jimmy goes on, about the seething hate bubbling up, especially amongst southerners.

Okay… Was Joe Wilson’s outburst uncouth?  Yes.  (was he factually right in that the proposed law did in fact allow illegals to get .gov health insurance, yes, but they don’t want to dwell on that).  Was it ill mannered?  Probably. 

Was it racist?

Jimmy Carter seems to think so.  Because apparently if you call somebody a liar, while they are actually lying, then it isn’t becuase they’re lying, it is because they’re black.  So when you call Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, or Harry Reid a liar, that is racism too, because they’re champions of the underclass, and besides, you’d only speak up if you were a right wing hate monger anyway. If you call George Bush, Dick Cheney, or Donald Rumsfeld a liar, you are a patriotic American, doing your civic duty to question authority. 

Whew. Got that cleared up!

Personally, I think they’re all a bunch of lying, thieving, hacks. And I’m sick of the bunch of them.  I just happen to hate the side that has posters of Che on their walls and Marx in their heads a lot more.  Crap. Now I’m racist against Hispanics and Germans. This is kind of a tough mine field to play in.

If you want to see the ugly face of unreasonable hate and bias against a group of people, just listen to how the media and elitist political hacks talk about southerners.  I’m a westerner, always have been, always will be. So people ask me why my first novel was set in the south.  It was because you guys don’t get any respect, and you deserve it.  I wanted to actually write something where a bunch of southerners aren’t racist, hillbilly, inbred, knuckle-dragging, morons, to be gently led by the hand by somebody wise, like someone from Manhattan, or Berkley.  But I digress.

CNN inferred that the big rally in Washington (you know, the one they said had 70,000 people, but the aerial photos show were bigger than Obama’s inaguration that had 1.2 million) this last weekend were inspired by ugly undercurrents of racism.   (on a related note, another commentator made the crack that with this many Republicans gathered in one place, it is amazing nobody got shot or blown up! Ha Ha!  Man. They sure are clever.  Good thing all the totally Democrat controlled areas are so safe and crime free! Like…. Uhm…. Never mind.)

So if we hate out of control spending,  the destruction of our dollar, the stupidizing of our health care, the ruining of our economy,the knee-capping of trade, the milking of the productive to support weasels, the giving to ACORN of 8 billion dollars to buy houses for El Salvadoran child sex slaves, kissing the butts of the world’s socialists dictators, the ending of the “war on terror” while Homeland Security declares returning vets potential domestic terrorists,  the second highest business tax rate on Earth, dozens of unconstitutional Tsars, and MORE…

Then it must be because you are racist.

This may be kind of confusing, so bear with me.  I will break this down for you.  Since I am technically a “Wise Latino” I should be able to help my racist, southern, hate-mongering friends out with the following concepts.  

If you support importing millions of illegal aliens to serve as a virtual slave class with no rights, so that they can be used by employers, treated like crap, and deported if they get lippy, then you are NOT RACIST. 

If you think that you should allow all sorts of LEGAL immigration, so that those people can have rights and legal protection, but that we should secure our borders, then you’re a RACIST.  

If you are a “community organizer” and you’ve participated in the last 40 years of the great society, and it has proven to be a failed experiment, but you keep on doing the same thing, over and over and over, and it ends up beating the crap out of inner-city America, then you are NOT RACIST. 

If you support welfare programs that treat certain groups like they’re inferior and can’t make it on their own without government help then you are NOT RACIST. 

If you support quotas for jobs or education that basically say “Hey, brown people, you ain’t smart enough to do it without the government.” then you are NOT RACIST.  (Unless it is for Asians, because they totally don’t count. Screw those guys. I’m looking at you California University System).

If you make a big hoopla about an activist liberal judge because she’s the first Latino to be on the Supreme Court, but you think that it is okay to call Clarance Thomas an “Uncle Tom” you are NOT RACIST.  (the same standard applies to any black Repulican placed into any office, anywhere, ever. Like Condi.)

If you refer to your grandma as a “typical white person” because she was “bred” that way. NOT RACIST.

If you hear that cops arrested a black man, for any reason, and you automatically assume that the cops are stupid and overreacted. NOT RACIST.

If you are a cop, and you arrest a black man. You’re a RACIST.  Unless it turns out that he was a black Republican, then you need to give that Uncle Tom some “stick time.”

If you disagree with anything the Obama administration proposes, at all, ever, no matter how absurd it is. RACIST! 

“What about the Harry Reid memorial magnetic levitation bullet train from Las Vegas to Disneyland? That’s pretty stupid…” RACIST!   “What if I was against Van Jones because he was an avowed communist agitator and all around scumbag?”  NO. You didn’t like him because you’re RACIST!  “What if I point out that despite what Obama has said, there are ‘death panels’ and tax-payer funded abortions in the healthcare bill?”  Do I really even need to answer that?  You bigots disgust me. 

Okay. I sure hope that the above helps the typical hate mongering readership of my blog to understand the intracies of race relations here in America.
