Bristol, Brandy, and the real face of Affirmative Action

Now normally, I wouldn't give two shits about a television reality show. Big Brother, the Real World, Jersey Shore  ...all of them are variations of the same theme. Young twenty-something white kids (who sometimes have "one" light skinned half black friend), in a new environment, drinking and fucking each other, blah blah blah... But last night, Dancing with the Stars provided a tiny little window into the TRUE reality that reality shows tend to obscure.

Dancing with the Stars is a Dancing Contest. I say again for emphasis... Dancing with the Stars IS.A.DANCING. CONTEST.

And on this DANCING.CONTEST., performers are scored by qualified judges, but they are also voted on by the general public. And the vote of the General Public determines who moves forward and who is kicked off...

Bristol Palin ended last night in Last Place FOR THE SEVENTH TIME.

Brandy earned a PERFECT SCORE.

Yet in a CLASSIC display of REAL American Affirmative Action, White Folks viewers voted for BRISTOL to move on to the finals and booted Brandy off the show. Brandy earns a PERFECT score and LOSES to the White chick in LAST PLACE.

Bristol, completely oblivious to the fact that her promotion was unearned and undeserved remarked that she felt she was the most improved dancer so she deserved the win.  *BULLSHIT*  That fact that you went from being a "terrible" dancer to being a "mediocre" dancer should not mean that you should beat a "great" dancer in a fucking Dancing Contest! Unless of course, you're White,  a Palin,  American...

The Fix Is IN!!!

Ok, So I'm watching Morning Joe this morning... Erin Burnett comes on with her morning Market Report - just 3 DAYS after the elections - and Guess what... Even though the unemployment numbers didn't change and we are holding steady at 9.6%, she gushed about how we are now adding private sector jobs at a sufficient rate to bring the unemployment numbers down.

And as if that were not fishy enough, the Jobs report she was describing was the OCTOBER report, which coincidentally wasn't released until after the election...

And if THAT isn't fishy enough, she went on to state that the September jobs report (which had been reported as a negative report) has NOW been REVISED... It seems we were adding Private Sector Jobs at this rate back in September as well!

Hmmmm, sooooooo we just experienced a wave election fueled by anger in the electorate over the lack of jobs and feelings about the economy. YET it is now reported that the economy was showing these really positive signs of improvement for the last couple months - BUT news outlets like MSNBC sat on the numbers  and only released them AFTER the elections, along with a glowing commentary encouraging people to be optimistic.

Don't sleep... The Hustler's are coming home to roost.
