Cheeeeeeeers and a Happy Friday to you all.There is something that I cannot tolerate and that is, blissful accolades laid upon a recently departed person or one who is still living.
On Wednesday, it was revealed that Maya Angelou was taken away from us far too soon at the age of eighty-six.
I feel badly with the passing of anyone, but let me tell you…
As I heard of her passing, and watched the news crawlers refer to her as the “late, great, Maya Angelou” and as a “renown poet“, I was stupefied.
Marguerite Annie Johnson, yeah that’s her real name, was many things, but, she was not a poet. Okay, yes she was because some idiotic publisher rode her “real black woman cash cow” to fame as a poet, but really?
As a poet, she sucked.
Yeah, I know she knows why the caged bird sings (allegedly), and she had her civil rights struggles (poor her), and she spent part of her life being a dance floor floozie (true dat), however…
After all of that, one Miss Margaret Johnson writes…
Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
Such a whore…And she wonders why the caged bird sings. That patch of awful writing promises nothing but Barry White songs so she can do her porno dances while she spits “diamonds” out from between her thighs.
Uuuuuuch. I have no time nor place for such ickiness. Please go to bad poet heaven, Mizz Angelou…if that’s you real name…which we know it isn’t.And dig it…There is a draft Sarah Palin campaign going on, on Facebook. I don’t know if it is for U.S. Senate or President in 2016, but either way, I am sure that the people who started it and like it, aren’t very bright.
Now don’t get me wrong, I liked it myself for comedic purposes, but wow…can you really see Palin as a U.S. Senator? Well, wait a minute…Yes I can, and no different from the rest.
What the hell was I thinking? Oh before I go, there’s another hack that I’d like to talk about…
Edward Snowden.
You love America so much that you wanted to let her people know that they were being watched on the internet. That’s admirable and thanks, however…
Once you let the cat out of the bag, you ran away to one of the more oppressive governments on earth. You don’t love freedom Mr. Snowden, you love your own definition of freedom, and you are a coward.
This is the Matt-Man saying, Edward Snowden is to freedom, what Maya Angelou is to poetry…Not Much.
Cheers!!

If I had to choose I would much prefer to hang out with Maya Angelou over Sarah Palin or Edward Snowden.

Jay: If I had to choose which one I would prefer to hang out with, I'd check none of the above. Cheers Jayman!!
Maya Angelou had a rich voice that voiced words of encouragement. Sarah Palin was nothing but a paid cheerleader with a shrill, shreaky voice that she used to be a huckster, creating the Palin brand of glasses, USA jewelry, and able to sell books, tee shirts or pencils or autographs or family pictures of herself as she pretended to campaign for other candidates. Palin considered Snowden an all American hero--but she said her favorite hero of all was Rush Limbaugh. I would choose time with Maya Angelou a gift--and any time with Palin would be a visit to the modern day huckster who conned more people out of their life savings than P. T. Barnum. Both Palin and Snowden belong in jail.
