This is old news, but I started this post almost two months ago
and am only now completing it. Before
you get on my case, just remember that sometimes hairdressers have the most
jacked up hair, plumbers have the worst plumbing, mechanics drive jalopies, and
carpenters live in shacks. I work for
myself, so sometimes I get complacent. I
still have household chores, kids to deal with and honestly, sometimes I just
want to lie on the couch and watch TV.
If you don’t like it, feel free to get me a writing gig. J
I’m not a big fan of Ariana Grande, but dammit I’ll fight for
her. She sings like Mariah Carey. You know the way; refusing to open their
mouths, and someone like me who already has enough trouble trying to figure out
songs’ lyrics, just can’t deal with someone who is eating her words. Give me Whitney Houston. Actually, don’t anymore; but that girl would
open her mouth and sing. Okay, I’ll take
Bruno Mars. Boyfriend will enunciate
those words for folks like me. And by
the way, Miss Jackson, you need to open your mouth too.
But you’re gonna tell me that Ariana Grande, a 22 year old former
Disney teeny bopper who said something that was on her mind in a country as
free as the United States of America has to apologize, while elected members of
Congress plotted to sabotage the US economy because Obama was elected, yet were
never charged for treason. Police actually
stopped killing innocent people to investigate Ariana’s comments about hating
Americans and America. She was referring
to the fact that she bought a donut, and it was so huge that it disgusted her
and caused her to think about the obesity problem in this country. Is she lying?
Okay, licking those donuts because they were unhealthy was nasty AND
childish, but she’s a child, maturity-wise.
Of course she regrets saying it that way. Well, rather, she regrets being
overheard. But, who has never said anything
out loud that they ended up regretting, because they’ve hurt another human being
or because they ended up looking ridiculous?
First of all, hate is a strong word for people of a certain age,
but for those young‘uns, hate is just an everyday word in their vernacular. Your best friend just roasted you, what do
you say? I hate you. Your teacher ‘gave’ you a D that you actually
earned, what do you tell our buddies. I
hate her. So let’s just skip the BS, and
keep it real about what Ariana means. She
doesn’t like the fact that she is living in a country where people just nonchalantly
go into an eatery and devour donuts and/or any food filled with content unfit
for their bodies. What she means is that
she is not proud of the fact that there are so many obese people in her beloved
country who refuse to do anything except to see how quickly they can elevate
from obese to morbidly obese. And at 50 pounds
soaking wet, Ariana is anything but a threat to national security.
So the profanity bothers you too?
Oh dear, profanity bothers you, yet you defend Donald Trump when he says
such sick things about Mexicans. Your
theory that he is just “protecting our borders” doesn’t hold water. Instead of bringing Donald Trump to task with
his blatant xenophobia, you straight-faced say crap like “he didn’t say all
immigrants, he said illegal immigrants”.
As if your grandparents or Donald’s current and former wives came here
with their green cards in their pockets.
People are quite fine with “celebrities” coming here and living
here without their ‘papers’ but not the average Mexican.
Take Sofia Vergara. She
left Colombia for Miami when her older brother was murdered during a botched kidnap. I don’t know, but it sounds like she was
living in the States without proper documentation for a while.
When Steven Spielberg noticed Catherine Zeta-Jones in the Titanic
miniseries, he recommended her to the director of The Mask of Zorro where she starred alongside Anthony Hopkins and
Antonio Banderas, all immigrants. Hey,
maybe they came here to work and when their working visas expired, they returned
to Wales and Spain.
I’m pretty sure in the early 1930’s when Albert Einstein visited
the US, he had every intention of returning to a tumultuous Germany. I mean, it’s not like Hitler was having a
problem with outspoken Jews or anything like that.
Do you know what else irritates me about people trying to be so
politically correct? When they try to
fix something now that they were quite fine with so many years ago. TV Land cancelled The Dukes of Hazzard reruns in 2015, a show that ended in 1985 because
of the recent dust up regarding the Confederate flag. There is a car in the show with the flag on
the roof that NEVER bothered anyone for over 30 years; now it’s not politically
correct. Look, history is history. If there were to be a 2015 show with that
flag brazenly pronounced, that would be a problem, but at this point, it is
what it is. Maybe they just don’t want
us to remember the times when they were being politically incorrect when they
already knew better.
Recently, some members of Congress wanted to strip Bill Cosby of
his 2002 Presidential Medal of Freedom that W. bestowed upon him. If they are going to take that from Bill
because they now realize that he’s an alleged rapist, then they’ll have
to take away W.’s presidency because they now realize that he is a complete nincompoop.
Do we always use the right words at the right time? Hell no!
I know Ariana wishes that she could take back what she did and said, but
maybe in that moment she felt like her back was against the wall. Nah, she’s a kid; she felt like it was a good
idea at the time. But for Pete’s sake, she’s
a 22 year old pop princess. How much
maturity do we really expect from her?
Plus, our very mature First Lady of the United States has a campaign
focusing on moving, getting fit and eating right, yet she’s not being taken
seriously by many folks either. After Pennsylvania
schools’ attempt to get kids to eat healthier, Sarah Palin brought cookies to
them since she thought Pennsylvania was a nanny state. I’m assuming she actually came to Pennsylvania
to stir up trouble, but for all I know, she just saw Pennsylvania from her
house and threw them over her fence.
But perspectively speaking, if Michele Obama’s technique is
spurned, what’s wrong with giving Ariana’s a fair shot.
