He’ll be live in-studio!

And yes, I’m stoked.

I’m in second place, but I know you all can push me to first. If you enjoy what I post here, please vote! If you’re my pal, cast a vote por favor :)
Thanks to those who’ve already done so! Here’s the link.
Don’t know what I’m talking about? Here’s the scoop.
Thanks for all your support thus far! I’m wicked excited!
I made you all a present. After seeing how many people said this should be a meme, I made it so.
Example:
This is going to be fab.
Imagine that:
A police surveillance video taken the night that Trayvon Martin was shot dead shows no blood or bruises on George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch captain who says he shot Martin after he was punched in the nose, knocked down and had his head slammed into the ground.
The surveillance video, which was obtained exclusively by ABC News, shows Zimmerman arriving in a police cruiser. As he exits the car, his hands are cuffed behind his back. Zimmerman is frisked and then led down a series of hallways, still cuffed.
Zimmerman, 28, is wearing a red and black fleece and his face and head are cleanly shaven… In the video an officer is seen pausing to look at the back of Zimmerman’s head, but no abrasions or blood can be seen in the video and he did not check into the emergency room following the police questioning.
So… why is Zimmerman not in custody? A full roundup and debunking of rumors surrounding Martin’s murder here.
Yes, this is a thing.
Come with me on an adventure, folks: into the amazing world of Conservative Teen, where the white people don’t get any whiter.
Where musical theater turns kids to the Devil…
…and sex threatens to wipe out entire civilizations with its wanton vaginal gushing.
Where doggy style is just another liberal nod to Paganism…
…and Elmo’s environmental agenda is destroying young minds.
Where the main message sent to American teens is: MORE WHITE BABIES.
Thanks to the Heritage Foundation and Family Research Council for making my day that much brighter.
My favorite:
I can answer that question for you.
No. Ronald Reagan was not our first black president.
Nature is beautiful and wants to kill you.
True facts, y’all.
Talk about politics. A Trayvon post just in time to get the votes in! You’re like Obama.
Seriously?
Yeah, so the most offensive things in this lil’ shit cupcake of a comment are first, you think I align with Obama politically, and second, that you obviously pay no attention to this site.
Ever.
Because I’ve NEVER blogged about racism and politics, AMIRITE YOU GUISE?
If it matters…
First post about Treyvon Martin shooting: March 17, 2012
Scholarship nomination and submission, beginning March 19th:
March 24th:
March 26th:
So I started blogging about Treyvon Martin’s shooting nine days before my submission was accepted. BECAUSE I’M PSYCHIC OR SOMETHING! </sarcasm>
If you’ll notice, anon’s question came in March 27th at 11:11 AM.
I responded at 2:45 AM on March 28th at 2:45 AM. Full post here.
First ask for votes?
March 26th, 2012 at 11:30 PM. A full nine days after I first began discussing Treyvon Martin.
But whatever fits the narrative, yeah? So, talk about politics. You’re just like Newt Gingrich — flinging accusations when all you want is some attention. Or a hug.
So g’night, kiddos. Incidentally, if you’d like support me getting a scholarship for Netroots Nation, vote here. Now THAT was an ask for votes.

America is so fucked up. Everybody outside the US seems to know this, but real change seems to be blocked by a vast group of ignorant people within the country itself. I just can’t get my head around it.
Neither can I…

Thank you for this.
You’re welcome. I felt like it was info that needed to be put out there.

You’re a wonderful human being for compiling all of this, thank you!
You’re welcome! Please share.

Thank you SO much for this. Truly needed.
Agreed. There’s so much “information” being thrown out there that’s nothing more than the same old racism.
