Stupid Human Tricks.


There are some things in life that really piss me off. (OK, there are a lot of things in life that piss me off.) And some are worse than others. People who drive and text comes to mind. Or, folks who try to drive and talk- incessantly- or make calls on their cell phones while they are actually driving. That's a stupid human trick if I ever saw one. Oh, and let's talk about some of you women. (Yes ladies, I had to go there.) Is there any particular reason why you don't put on your makeup before you leave your homes? Why must you put on mascara and all other sorts of facial makeup while you are going all Danica Patrick down the damn highway? That is not cool. Your automobile is not your personal powder room.

And some of you Negroes. (Yes fam. I had to go there) Why must you talk so loud on your damn cell phones? It's as if you want the world to know that you have kids at home and what your family will be eating for dinner. WE DON'T CARE!

Anywhooo, this all leads me to one Cathy Cruz Marrero. You all know the story by now. Girlfriend was so busy talking on her cell phone, that she totally forgot about the big fountain in the middle of the mall and walked right into it. A stupid human trick if I ever saw one. (The video is classic. ) Now, of course, this being A-merry-ca; Cathy is suing. She doesn't like the way she was treated after her dumb ass walked right into a big fountain fountain in the middle of the mall. And she wants to know who was responsible for spreading the video of her stupid human trick.

"Cathy Cruz Marrero, appeared on ABC's "Good Morning America" Thursday with a lawyer and said they're looking into who was responsible for spreading the video. What was so important that she had to text right away? Someone she knew from church had e-mailed to ask when was Marrero's birthday."

Cathy, I wish I had been in Reading, Pistolvania on that fateful day. Because if I was, you and your lawyer would have been looking for me.
Finally, a quick shout out to Gina McCauley from the What About our Daughters blog, and Sean Williams of Dallas South. I saw them down in D.C. yesterday and it was nice hanging with them while we tried to solve A-merry-ca's problems. (More on the MMTC conference later.) We have met over the radio and online on numerous occasions, but never in person. It was nice to meet virtual friends and comrades in the flesh. Gina I promise I will get to Blogging While Brown one day.

Enjoy your Saturday folks, and if you happen to live on the East Coast layer up. It's cold out There.

    I was hit from behind at a stop light the other morning, and when I looked in my rear view mirror, I could see the girl hanging-up her cell, throw it on her passenger seat, like she wasn't doing a thing in the world. Luckily, my car had no damage, but it messed her plastic grill up good.

  3. remember those bumper stickers that said "hang up and drive?" whatever happened to them?

    we have a no talking/texting law in my area, and i do admit to talking to violating it on occasion, esp. if one of kids is phoning. i don't text, tho. and my mascara goes on at home!

    interesting take on new huffpo black blog section thru the daughters blog you referenced. i just hope this doesn't mean any story that they "think" is "black" gets stuck in the back. i also hope they don't go using some of the literally crazy conservative black female bloggers who occasionally write there and elsewhere.

    whatever goes up, remember this: no one is PAID. they all write for free ego strokes. so, the rule applies: you get what you pay for.

  5. Last year a young lady was killed going to a school function. She was a very popular, well-liked girl, was late for the event. She was travelling at a high rate of speed, failed to negotiate a turn, travelled a couple hundred yards across a field, and hit a barn while travelling over 90 MPH, they figure. They also have reason to believe that she was texting until the impact.

    It was a tragedy. But there are a whole lot of Amisg buggies on that road, live stock crosses it, other cars were on the road. Could have been a lot worse of one than the gene pool doing a self-skimming.

    The silly young woman in Reading... I have an old German book called Die Struvel Pater which includes a short tale called "Hans Guck-In-Die-Luft", (Something like "Johnny Looks In The Air" about a seemingly easily distracted boy who comes a cropper because he isn't paying attention to his surroundings. That was written in the 1840s when there was less to distract one.

    If you guys at MMTC are "trying to solve the world's problems", well, good luck. Contact Le Tourneau, Hyster, Euclid, and Saylor for som of their equipment. You guys made need it for all the heavy lifting.

    C'mon now, let's lighten up on the ladies here, we have many hats to wear, so we have no time. I've even been known to eat breakfast in the car! :)))

    I also have committed the sin of texting and talking on the cell,(granted, for brief periods) AND applying eye liner, no mascara, that could get messy and make matters worse :D AND maybe lip liner and a little blush too, plus a spray of perfume, and then there's the hand lotion... AND I'm here to tell you, it's all a matter of having quick reflexes! You take a rear and side view peek, apply apply, take a few more peeks, etc. It's all in the reflexes I tell you, either ya got 'em or ya don't. And I never had an accident, ever.

    And, to answer the question, I couldn't finish the makeup at home because of motherly time constraints. :P That's my defense.

    Wealth redistribution...sending what folks used to earn to banksters who laugh at stoopids who are wetting their diapers over the very ideer of AfAms somehow being human.
    It might help if one compares wage rates of the 60s and 70s to now. And no, the scary Mooslims and Urbanistas are not drinking your precious tax fluids.
    Wite peeples have problems making da babies because, like rush, they likes widdle Dominican boys and are so grossly obese they needs them Viagra to even see 'Mr Tiny'.
    Actually, it has more to do with the strange idea that citizenship is not based solely on witeness...in the Constitution wingnuts praise...but don't understand.
    Fountain Foole better change venue. Berks has lots of hard-working Dutch who see her as a lazy person...which is an insult.

    Do you think they care? They will continue to do it UNTIL they actually kill someone. 'Little girls' in adult bodies who never grew up do stuff like put make-up on while driving a car. In their minds, it's the most important thing at the time.

  16. Accidently stumbling into the fountain while texting? Not too likely.

    She's a criminal who's attempted a number of scams, deceits and illegal acts. But unfortunately for her, it appears her trickery is always uncovered.

    The fall into the fountain looks like it was staged. As an employee in the mall, she undoubtedly knew where the surveillance cameras were, which led her to stage her performance where a video record would result.

    I wonder who received the text she was purportedly sending? She probably figured sending a text was a good gambit for creating a time-stamp verifying her distraction.

    I wonder if other video from the surveillance camera shows her walking near the fountain to practice the lead-in to her prat-fall.

    Weekly foreign policy round up for President Momjeans. First, commentary from the NY Post yesterday:

    "Who did you think would come out on top if you put a tiger and a dove in the same room together to work out their differences? Yes, those were white bird feathers sticking out of the tiger's mouth at the lavish state dinner hosted by President Obama at the White House this week. President Hu Jintao is a Tiger Leader. That's kind of like a Tiger Mother, only less nurturing and more demanding. President Obama is a Dove Leader. He speaks endlessly and carries no stick. And he likes to do a lot of bowing and scraping. Kind of like the way Hu Jintao likes to do a lot of not smiling. If you see all that together in one room, bet on the Tiger.

    He (Obama) is crowing about $45 billion in US exports he got China to agree to. That doesn't exactly close the more than $250 billion in trade deficits we rack up against the communist state each year. Nearly half of the total value of those trade deals -- $19 billion -- is for aircraft from Boeing that China had already agreed to purchase as part of a larger deal going back to 2007. That was more than a year before the Dove Leader had even landed in our midst.

    And Obama said he really busted Hu's chops over his country's unfettered piracy of everything from designer handbags to software to drugs to sophisticated electronic gadgetry that American companies have plowed billions upon billion of dollars of research and development into -- only to have rogue companies in places like China rip them off and flood the market with cheap goods.

    Then came Hu's big concession to Obama -- perfectly illustrating his country's regard for intellectual property. Hu promised he would try to get his own government agencies to quit using pirated software.

    His OWN GOVERNMENT AGENCIES??? You call this a concession?


    Today, Iran's FARS News Agency reported that less than one month after Obama and democrats rammed through the START Nuclear Treaty with Russia, Moscow today renewed its opposition to unilateral sanctions on Iran:

    "Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov underlined his country’s strong opposition to unilateral sanctions against Iran.

    “We have never supported unilateral sanctions, which will only serve as a spoiler for Iran,” Lavrov said after talks with his Turkish counterpart Ahmet Davutoglu in Istanbul on Thursday.

    Lavrov also expressed hope that the sanctions are lifted in the talks between Tehran and major world powers."


    Surprise! Rolled again! What a disaster this guy is. You would have thought by electing the first black President we would have at least got someone who wouldn't be a complete bitch when dealing with our adversaries. Instead we got the biggest pussy in the world, at least when it comes to standing up for American interests.

  25. Hey, Field, I guess you were too busy while at your minority shakedown conference last week to watch Keith Olbermann's show. The resultant 50% drop in ratings got him fired.

    Now you'll have more time avaialble to watch your new favorite broadcast personality, Glenn Beck, who accurately predicted Queef's fate last November.

    This is a huge win for the cause of sanity. Boo-yah!

    "Court documents indicate that Marrero has had her own legal troubles.

    She has been out on $7,500 bail since her 2009 charges for alleged theft, records show.

    According to court records, Ileana Rivera of Reading, Pa., who worked at the Zales jewelry store in the Fairgrounds Square Mall with Marrero, reported that Marrero had used her credit cards without permission.

    Marrero allegedly made $4,177 in purchases at Zales and $1,055 in purchases at a Target around the time of August 2007, records show.

    Rivera admitted she at one time had permitted Marrero to use her Target credit card to make a small purchase but did not give her permission to make other purchases.

    In August 2007, Rivera noticed she hadn't received her credit card bills and discovered that her address on the accounts was allegedly changed to that of Marrero's.

    According to public court documents, Marrero has convictions for retail theft four times and one other theft in New York from 1997 to 1999 and retail theft in York County in 1999.

    She also received 12 months of probation after being convicted of a hit-and-run charge in Berks County in 2009."

  30. Field said.."He was not fired. FYI, Olbermann made MSNBC, he is the reason they got a big ratings push over the last few years and started leaning left."

    Right, he quit his postion as chief raving leftist lunatic voluntarily.

    I see you know about as much about the TV business as Queef. His ratings wee a fraction of those of his rival, that gasbag O'Reilly over at Fox.

    Made up, twisted leftist "news" has a very limited audience. HBO can afford to inflict the vile Bill Mahr on its subscribers, because people buy all or nothing with their network. MSNBC has to actually attract viewers to all of it's programs in order to remain solvent. My guess he that he was just too much of a dick for even the commies at MSNBC to put up with (amazingly, this douche was demanding even more money!), and his lack of an audience made the call easier.

    In any event, until this turd bubbles up somewhere else, let's all celebrate this period of Olbermann-free airwaves. Not that his replacement, Lawrence O'Donnell is any better (you should be able to get your daily Two Minute Hate fix from Larry), but at least one fruitcake got his comeuppance.

  32. Field, I have been known to fix my hair, or take out a contact lens while in traffic, but that's as far as I would go. Never while the car is actually moving. I have had it up to my neck with the text/talk driving crew, stupid drivers in general, especially the men who watch the behinds of women and young girls through their side mirror while the car is actually moving forward. Oh let's not forget those.

    And of course, this woman could have walked right into traffic or something similar that would endanger her life and perhaps others. BUT this wasn't the case and it's not the point of her lawsuit, I'm sure.

    If it was some random jerk who happen to capture her on vid and loaded it on youtube, I would say tough cookies. However, it was the Mall surveillance/security personnel who displayed lack of professionalism and disrespect for public trust in their professional capacity. I'm sure her lawsuit has something to this basis, and I would back her up on this issue.


    Ok I will bite. Anony troll, it's not just blacks or "black women" who are loud, or loud on the cell phones. People in general do it. And funny, in my observation it's usually white people in my area who are loud on their cells. Especially when they need everyone around them knowing how important their "business" call requires that "important" arrogant tone, you know.

    I don't think Fox will hire him, and CNN wants to hold onto the shred of credibility they have left, so where to, Queef? The Daily Show? Bill Maher's sidekick? Maybe he can join Dan "Forged documents" Rather working for Mark Cuban. Or run for Senator of Minnesota.

  45. field, you wrote:

    ...I think Olbermann quit on his own.

    Yeah. Sure. If he had an offer from a rival network in his pocket, your claim might hold a little water. But, as we know, media gasbag contracts contain non-compete clauses, which means he cannot break his existing contract to join another team.

    This raving nitwit believed he had gotten bigger than MSNBC and demanded to renegotiate the terms of his contract in an ill-fated effort to get more money. The management response was NO. And now he's out of a job.

    They were so thrilled about the opportuntiy to dump him that they were willing to strike a severance deal with him, which will pay him AND keep him off the air.

    I suppose the terms of his contract allow him to work at the local AM station broadcasting in Butte, Montana, but that's probably the limit.

    His official viewer stats show Olbermann at 1 million. But his competitors pull in 2 million to 3 million. He's the Chrysler to their Ford and GM.

    Anyway, it's clear that Comcast is planning to change the format at MSNBC. That means the on-air people have to prove their value by the amount of advertising revenue their shows produce -- which is directly proportional to the number of viewers.

    One day Glenn Beck's run will end. When? Who knows? But eventually all media gasbags run out of gas.

    Though I must admit Paul Harvey set some longevity records. He was a nice guy. And, as they say, Nice Guys Finish Last -- which he did, long long long after most of his unpleasant competitors fell off the dial.

  48. ivan beatinoff,

    As everyone should know, the Nobel Peace Prize is, among the Nobels, the booby prize.

    It is awarded by a separate Nobel committee that has no connection to those who award Nobels for chemistry, physics, medical science, economics or literature.

    Thoe Peace Prize committee members can give this loser award to a US president who had been in office just nine days, who had accomplished exactly nothing in his first nine days and has accomplished nothing peace-like in the two years following.

    IN fact, every "peace initiative" on his agenda has gone undone. Worse for him and his idiotic Peace Prize, when it came time to get down to work, his work went in the opposite direction of his campaign promises.

    Guantanamo? Still open AND now Obama knows there is NO WAY he can justify closing the place and letting its islamic occupants return to their lives of terrorism.

    Iraq? Obama now knows tht Iraq is the new Korea, where the US has maintained 30,000 troops on the North/South border for almost 60 years.

    Afghanistan? More war. It's become his big interest. The War We've Got To Win, he says. Which means that withdrawal dates will mean less and less as they approach.

    Since the recipients of The Peace Prize are almost always engaging in More War, this award really deserves to be called the Nobel Prize for Irony.

  49. For those who think criminality and being other than white causes texting when stoopid, then tell me why I had to slam on my breaks when this white college just stepped in to the street in front of me. If I had not notice that she wasn't walking straight on the sidewalk, I might not have able to stop. She kept on going an ignored me when I warned her that she could have gotten hurt.

    Mack, I am working on it, but I am trying the diplomatic route.


    "One day Glenn Beck's run will end..."

    It already did.
