Do you suppose they could use short term property management or just a better ad writer? LOL!!!!!

Wanted: New Property Mgr or Ad writer
So It's come to this...
So – I am the caretaker…I won’t pay for my own health needs, and will only find myself paying for others. Even when he commits petty theft from me.
I want so much for her to not blame me, but I understand her need to not condemn herself. I love her and that means unconditional. Right? I fell betrayed because she accuses me of what I want to feel but haven’t. She executes me for what I could have said/felt/done/thought, but didn’t. She walks alone needlessly.
For my daughter….
---because I can, that's why...Probably loving you too...

Racists, Cartoons and Missed Messages
Today, I sent this to the Dear Editors of the New York Post:
While I can see the charges of the racial defenders crowd, as being somewhat valid, what struck me is they missed the point.
I looked at the cartoon, while watching the D.L. Hughley show, before his interview with Al Sharpton on this subject.
I knew the cartoonist was tying several elements together, those being:
1) The recent news item of the chimpanzee shooting by the police in California...and
2) the Stimulus Bill...and
3) A literary and mathematical reference to infinite monkeys and infinite typewriters hypothetically writing Shakespeare, which the Stimulus Bill is not! It's confusing and terribly organized.
I had to be told by the talking heads that this was a nasty, racially motivated cartoon, and that the editor and cartoonist are racial bigots. I'm thinking the 3 elements I had first thought of, were completely missed by Mr. Sharpton and D.L. Hughley (who stereotypes all types, but in a funny way), etc.
And then I thought maybe it's just because they aren't as well-read as I am. And THAT may have been the most racist thought I had all day.
I’m white. I voted for Obama. I live in a predominantly black neighborhood. I worry about them shooting each other, and I get tired of racial profiling against them, and I feel that America's longest contribution to the downfall of civility is the anti-nonwhite policy (I call it the brown people policy: Blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans, Arabs, anybody non-European, basically)...but I must be a true bigot, cause I thought the cartoon was a recent events and literary reference. Dang! And I thought I had that habitual racism thing whipped.
And I sincerely wish that D.L. Hughley’s show becomes something other than his racial soapbox. He’s funny, but is overall theme is getting tired.
