Now the TRUE COLORS are coming out!



While the healthcare debate comes to a head, I mean vote, there have been hoards of TEAbaggers in DC around the governmental buildings cutting up like roaches in an empty nasty house.  Those jackasses were calling out names at John Lewis of Georgia's 5th Congressional District (which is pretty much all of the city of Atlanta and some of the surrounding areas) and openly gay Massachusetts' 4th district Congressman Barney Frank.  The terms "nigger" and "faggot".others such Missouri's 5th district Congressman Emmauel Cleaver was spat on.  Meanwhile, the supporters of the "movement" is purportedly denying the existence of racial bias (however, I doubt that one for sure).  Now they aren't going to be as nice about the whole homophobia at all because that is openly accepted.  However, it's disgusting yet not surprising that some white people are showing their TRUE COLORS within the "Angry White People Coalition".  What's even more tale-telling is how obvious some people are to this for all this time when in reality there the indicators have been there from jump, the TEA Party movement is the closed-minded, white, Anglo-Saxon Protestant crowd that doesn't give a flying fuck about anybody but themselves and obviously abhors the thought of having a non-white president because it shows they are losing control of the nation's leadership positions.

Is the Good Bishop still up to no good in DC?



Well, the Good Bishop, Harry Jackson of Prince Georges County, Maryland is STILL trying to repeal the DC same-sex unionship ordinance and the recognition of same-sex unions, civil unions, and domestic partnerships from elsewhere.  He tried earlier this week to get the District Circuit Court to overturn the decision of the District Council and District Board of Election and Ethics decision to permit the recognition and ordinance for same-sex unions without a referendum, but got DENIED.  Geez Good Bishop, why don't you let it go?  You don't even live nor can vote within the District of Columbia, but you are so overly concerned about their affairs when it comes to such trivialized these such as this when PG County's crime rate and other urban issues there are more precedent and tangible to you.  Oh well, he has nothing to do but whine, bitch, and moan about the spiraling of DC.

Well, the Top 10 states best and worst for your brain

The U.S. News & World Report released a report looking at the 10 states best for your brain health and worst for your brain health.  Diet represented 36 percent of each state's score. Of several factors used to calculate the brain-healthfulness of the foods each state eats, sales of fish and DHA-fortified foods were weighed most heavily; they made up 10 percent and 12 percent, respectively, of the diet score. Measures of the population's physical health accounted for 25 percent of each state's overall score; mental health accounted for 24 percent; and social well-being 15 percent. In all, 21 measures went into calculating each score. The creators of the index examined existing data on these metrics for all the states and the District of Columbia. The data came from agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Well, here's the list:

Top 10 Best:
  1. Washington, D.C. 
  2. Maryland
  3. Washington state
  4. Vermont
  5. Connecticut
  6. Colorado
  7. Massachusetts
  8. New Jersey
  9. Maine
  10. New Hampshire
Top 10 Worst:
  1. Indiana
  2. North Dakota
  3. South Carolina
  4. Arkansas
  5. Kentucky
  6. Tennessee
  7. Mississippi
  8. Alabama
  9. Oklahoma
  10. Louisiana
Well, well, well, Alabama comes up as the 2nd to worst.  Geez, do we ever top a good list?  Well, I'll place the blame on the inept State Legislature, Alabama State Department of Education, Alabama Department of Public Health, and Alabama Department of Transportation for this screwed up state.  Meanwhile, the DC Area (the District and Maryland) looks to be some good areas to live if you want good brain health.  Well, I might seriously consider the region upon graduating with my Masters'.
