Me thinks he doth protest too much.
Ok. I'm just going to say it. Or I'm going to type it.
Bishop Eddie Long = Pastor Ted Haggard.
I don't see a difference. Black folks know who Long is and White folks know who Haggard is. Some of you know who both are. If you don't look them up.
When people lead crusades against homosexuals, I always think it's because they're curious and don't want to admit it. It's ridiculous. And Eddie Long has long been the cause of a lot of hate mongering in the African American community against gay people. I want to be clear about something before I go on though - and that is that I personally have NEVER liked Bishop Eddie Long and I've ALWAYS thought something was up with him. Now we may know what. I've been told repeatedly that I have a discerning spirit, and I believe that. Meaning usually when I think something isn't right with someone, I'm right. I called out Kirk Franklin too (before he admitted to being a former porn addict). And I like him.
We all have our crosses to bear - I just think you should keep it real. And something is not right with Eddie Long. Never has been. Something isn't right about a 57 year-old man running around wearing muscle shirts and bragging about his material possessions but wanting you to put your faith in him as a spiritual leader. Something is wrong with a man who will tell you, "I speak for God." There's just too much wrong with this man to list. And I don't see how 25,000 people can be that foolish, but it happens everyday. I guess we'll see what's what huh?
By the way, CNN has been riding Long like a pair of pantyhose that don't quite fit right. So if you want to catch up, I'd do it there.
Let me jump down off my soapbox . . .
In today's effed up advertisements we have Natural Light beer who has begun putting up these ridiculous billboards all over town. Okay, maybe I just noticed them within the last few weeks and they've been up forever. But the one that disturbs me the most is right next to my employer. It says:
"NILF: Natty I'd like to finish."
Seriously?
Who are the advertising geniuses behind this one? If you don't understand why it makes my skin crawl a little then look up MILF. Then write Natural Light beer and tell them to come up with something else. Does anybody drink this stuff anyway? Anyway, apparently it's causing an uproar in some cities across the city as being offensive. I don't think it's offensive, just dumb as hell.
Don't you despise folks who grocery shop in UDF? I was at the Deer Park UDF on Sunday standing in a long a$$ line for two reasons: (1) the lady at the head of the line was full fledge shoping . . . with gift certificates . . . UDF gift certificates . . . I didn't know they existed and (2) the guy ringing her up either (a) didn't know they existed either (2) was missing a chromosome or (iii) didn't know they existed AND was missing a chromosome.
But wait there's more. To top it off with chocolate icing, I look out side and there's a 300 pound man walking through the parking lot wearing a mid-drift. I mentioned this to one of my friends coming home from volleyball tonight and she informed me that it gets better. He wears a skirt and carries a purse at times. So now I get it. I should stay the hell out of Deer Park.
The Bears are bearin' down ain't they? You gotta love it. GO BEARS!!!
The Reds magiclicious number is 1. They win tonight and it's over. They lose and fans get to spend an extra hour watching the St. Louis game to see if they clinch the division that way. The Reds have only won 8 of their last 21 games. Here's hoping that tonight they are masters of their own domain. As I write it's tied 2-2 in the 7th. Man up chumps.
I hate Glee. Whose with me?
Love,
Leslie
