Wish We All Could Do It Froggy Style

Da Realist:

Mayor busted.

Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick exchanged romantic text messages with a top aide, contradicting their denials in court that they had romantic ties, a newspaper reported.

Kilpatrick is married, and Beatty was married at the time.

"I'm madly in love with you," Kilpatrick wrote on Oct. 3, 2002.

"I hope you feel that way for a long time," Beatty replied. "In case you haven't noticed, I am madly in love with you, too!"

Gangsta D:

"on Beatty's city-issued pager..."

WTF?!? Why would you do that on your work phone? Come on black people, let's get it together.
Da Realist:

There are some things a cheating married man should never do. At the top of the list is telling another woman "I love you" in a way that can be saved, recorded, reproduced or recalled at a later time. Most wives can't deal with a cheating husband, but a cheating husband who tells the other woman "I love you"???

You might as well pack your bags.

Gangsta D:

Yep. Dude is pretty much a wrap. But then again, maybe he's reformed himself:)

Waldini:

Damn young blood. all the major black publications had high hopes for you. First the Fat Boys break up and now this!

Gangsta D:

People gotta start realizing that we live in the digital world. If your words, voice, actions are recorded they will come back to haunt you.

Waldini:

Whatever happened to the days of getting busted out in public. Now someone can track your texts, check your myspace page, research your cell phone history and it's a wrap....

Speaking of which, I probably need to stop emailing Amerie lol. I kid I kid

Da Realist:

France, where cheating is an artform, has an interesting view. Phone bills do not show every digit of a number because cheating is so rampant. The policy seems to be "you mind your business, i'll mind mine".

In fact, there is even a name for it. "cinq à sept", literally translates to "5-7", the time most affairs take place right after work. It's used to refer to both the person and the meetup, in the same way we use bootycall.

Wanna go to france? Be careful. Wives are FAR more open-minded about extra-marital affairs than their american counterparts. You may not be the only one involved in a "cinq à sept". :-)

Gangsta D:

Europe really is the place to be, isn't it? Lol

Da Realist:

It's definitely more open-minded. Bill Clinton would have never had a scandal there. Cheating is just not that big a deal over there (in france). I read a joke that said, "a french politician without a lover is like a gun without any bullets" because the perception is he's shooting blanks. I kid you not. We talk about all this stuff in french class.

Right now, their president, Nicolas Sarkozy, left his wife to be with Carla Bruni -- who's been linked to every hot rock star in the past century (Mick Jagger, David Bowie, etc). She's rich, Italian and speaks 3 languages fluently but the french think she's at best a groupie and at worst a whore. Yet she's about to be first lady. That's like George Bush leaving his wife and, while in office, publicly dating Jessica Simpson.

Gangsta D:

I gotta get to France. Those guys are 'bout it. Actually, they been 'bout it:)

Laughing At Bush-Cultists - The Redux

This post was a little foray into the world of politics. I try to keep it light, but sometimes my co-workers drive me crazy and I need to vent. Also, i didn't think I could continue using the Matt Millen comparisons when the Lions were 6-2. But in true Daytrois form, they started sucking again. So I think this still holds up, no?

I live in southeast Georgia, which is pretty much a Conservative’s wet dream. Everyday at work, I’m subjected to the aural assaults from the members of a dark fraternity. I work with some seriously hardline Bush cultists. According to them, George Bush has never done anything wrong, never will do anything wrong, and to question him is the equivalent of beating your own mother with a tire iron. Truly, I’ve never seen such devotion. It’s quite fascinating, as I don’t think half these guys are this faithful to their wives.

This unconditional love causes them to say some really strange things. The guy sitting next to me actually said that there’s no need for the US to find Bin Laden. Huh?!? 9/11 changed everything…but let’s not find the mastermind behind it? Riiiight. When they start their yapping, I usually put on my headphones and bump Rage Against The Machine. Sometimes it gets to the point that I want to scream. Why don't I speak up you ask?

Hey, I love arguing and divergent points of view. So theoretically, I really don’t have a problem with Conservatives/Republicans. I'm always up for a good argument with a sane rational person that happens to disagree with me. Bush cultists, however, cannot be labeled as sane rational people.

Now, I'm not ranting against believing in a conservative ideology. I may even agree with one or two ideals myself. And I can also understand sticking up for your boy. But you have to be honest with yourself, and those around you, when the train is off the tracks. A Bush cultist will sit on the front porch of a burning house and deny that the house is on fire. Seriously.

Let's look at it in sports terms. How would you rationally deal with a Lions fan who thinks Matt Millen is the best GM in the NFL? That’s the sports equivalent of a Bush cultist. And I’m not talking about a Lions fan that doesn’t outright hate Millen, is indifferent, or thinks he should be given another year to turn things around. I’m talking about a Lion fan that LOVES Matt Millen, LOVES every draft pick, LOVES every free agent signing, and LOVES where the team is headed under his stewardship. I'm talking about a fan that is ecstatic about Matt Millen running the Lions, and can't be persuaded otherwise. Also, let me just say that if such a fan exists, that is one crazy motherfucker. But that's what I deal with on a daily basis. A bunch of crazy motherfuckers.

Now to be fair, Bush is catching some flack from some of his conservative brethren as of late. Astounding the medical community, it appears that brain cells can in fact be regenerated. But that’s mostly pundits and politicians trying to save their hides. When it comes to the populace at large, that mindset has yet to trickle down. Well it hasn’t trickled down to southeast Georgia, in any case. For instance, one of my best friends has THREE pictures of G-Dub in his cubicle. Three pictures! Bush is his boy come Hell, high water, or a plague of mosquitos. It’s enough to make a grown man cry.

Listen, I understand wanting to support your political party. I can understand loyalty. Really, I get it. But when the ship is obviously sinking? Come on, it’s a wrap. Game over. So if I could say something to all the Bush cultists out there, it would be this: Don’t be THAT guy. Don’t be the Lions fan wearing the “I Heart Matt” t-shirt. Don’t be the Lions fan that calls into talk radio and defends Millen until he has an aneurism. Don’t be the Lions fan that tries to violently break up a “Millen Man March” because he thinks they're unfair. I implore you to NOT be that guy. That guy is off-his-rocker, batshit, plastic knife only crazy. That’s a special kind of crazy. You don’t wanna be that kind of crazy. Do you?
