Run, Orly, Run!

Hot Wet Orly Wants Your… Vote

$100K for statewide office in California? Don’t think so. Maybe City Council in Dinuba, off Highway 99 near Visalia. They have a McDonalds there.

@Dodgerblue: I broke down on that road near the fish hatchery. I think it was that road. Right after the Grapevine going south?

I am in an extended debate over on “Sadly, No” as to whether or not using the word n****r ironically constitutes racism.

Ironic racism is still racism, right?

If she runs, and I want her to, it’ll be a festival of foolishness. I can’t wait.

@Dodgerblue: Dinuba dog catcher, perhaps. You need more than that to run for school board in SF.

@JNOV: Maybe 2 hours from the Grapevine, going North.

I mean, seriously, check this out.

Incidentally, would I have more, or less of a point if I told you I was black?

I was going to say yes – since it certainly increases the odds that you’ve already factored in the damage the word has the potential for – but since you just compared me to someone who participates in hate crimes like lynchings – I’m gonna have to say Fuck, You Nigger.

What the fuck?

@Dodgerblue: Naw — I was on that road near Magic Mountain. I am misremembering back to my Bakersfield days.

@Tommmcatt Say Relax: Umm…well…umm…I’m of the opinion that that word is never okay. Unless it’s on “The Boondocks.” Uh. Yeah. Conflicted. Mom used to call me one all the time; Dad says it’s never, ever okay to use it.

Reminds me of a program on “Fresh Air” when a conductor was arranging “Show Boat” using the original lyrics. The African-American chorus from “Porgy and Bess” showed up to the studio, saw the first line of the first song and walked out.

@Tommmcatt Say Relax: Making a word, which is only a symbol, completely taboo for non-racists, only increases its power and effect when used by bad people. Sorry, thats what I think.

I was permanently banned from dumbocratic underground for saying that the title of the most popular comedy album of the 70s was “That Nigger’s Crazy.”

There are many examples of derogatory terms being embraced by those who are the target of the terms, I have been among Italians, people of Polish “extraction,” what a euphemism that is, and Irish, who have greeted each other by saying “You dumb Polack,” or Mick, or Guinea. The fact that blacks may use the term is something that confuses this issue, as with Irish and Italians, that they may use the term does not legitimize the term.

But using the word ironically is, to me, OK, as long as intent is clear.

Kneejerk, total rejection of a word leads to absurdity such as the banning of “Huckleberry Finn” from school libraries, a book the entire theme of which is a boy finding the inner strength to reject racism despite the powerful social forces he is subject to which say he was wrong.

Vis a Vis Orly, there should be people in white suits and big butterfly nets chasing after her, everywhere she goes.

Is she still here? She hasn’t yet returned to the Ukraine?

it’s sooo entertaining when a psychopath runs for office…
but unsettling that she passed a bar and dental boards.

5. I will need to raise 3-4 thousand dollars to start with, probably I will need about 100,000 from start to finish

6. I will need to set a separate account, I will need a campaign manager, volunteers.

I’ve figured it out; Orly Taitz is a secret Nigerian

@JNOV: <3 your Zinn gravatar.

@Nabisco, baked: Stinque Global – up around the clock.

@redmanlaw: A Friday working lunch/retreat at the boss’s house, with wine and curry, then an afternoon swim now it’s cocktail hour. I live to serve!

@Nabisco: I was watching dusk fall over there via Pakistani and Chinese satellites. Clear night coming, 99 percent full moon.

/I approve of this use of my tax dollars.

@Nabisco: <3

@Dodgerblue: Dinuba has some really good organic oranges. That’s about it.
