Trans-Racial?

-
Now I've heard everything.

This woman, Rachel Dolezal, was on the Today Show acting all victim-like because she always thought she was a black woman.

Are you freaking kidding me?

She threw the term trans-racial out there!

Trans-racial?

Listen, I have no idea why anyone might decide that they suddenly want to be a different color, but her interview smacked of one thing:

Bullshit.

Matt Lauer asked her point-blank if she thought, growing up, that she might actually be a black person.

She said she used the brown crayon instead of the peach one when she drew pictures of herself!

Obviously she's gunning for the Bruce-Caitlyn type of sympathy...trying to be a hero to all the other people before her who decided that God made them the wrong freaking color!

Come on, now!

And do you know what the best part of this story is?

The crazy hairdos that she was trying out.

Did you see the photo of the wild beehive one?

How was she not laughed out of the office on the day she showed up dressed like that?

Do you think she tried out all the black slang?

Ate different ethnic foods?

Sorry, people.

I ain't buying this one.

Trans-racial!

Good Lord.

And now you know what will happen?

Book...TV show...reality show...

Crazy.

I read the book Black Like Me years and years ago.

There was a point to that.

This crazy woman is saying shit like "visibly I identify as a African-American woman".

"Mom, racially you're human and culturally you're black."

What a crock.

The brother is up on charges.

The parents are calling her out.

We're supposed to feel sorry for what he thinks she is?

I think I'm a chicken.

I used to draw pictures of myself as a chicken.

Am I trans-fowl?

What a dopey bastard.

She sued Howard University as a white woman.

Was she using the brown crayon then?

Crazy.

Suits

Like a lot of other people we got pulled into the series, ‘Suits’ on Netflix. I’ve never had much fun hanging around lawyers who have questioned me as a construction safety officer. I once testified in a case where the opposing lawyer started questioning me by going through my educational background. “So,” he said, racing to a crescendo, “You graduated from college with a degree in Communications-Journalism and suddenly, 30 years later, you’re a ‘safety expert.’” He actually made the quotation marks with his fingers. I just looked at him. “How does that happen?” He bellowed, sure that he was going to discredit me. “Well,” I said. “I knew I was overqualified to become a lawyer.” The courtroom erupted in laughter. Even the judge chuckled. The rest of his questions landed flat. So, I wasn’t all that keen on a show about lawyers, but ‘Suits’ is great. Meghan Markle became a princess because of the show, and she is very good in it (and a beautiful woman). Yet, there is so much more. The wri

My Buddy, Dave

-
Way back in 1997, I started working with a steel erection company out of Syracuse. I was coming straight from a long stint with a steel erector here in Buffalo so I knew my stuff when it came to steel erection safety rules. On day one, I met with the safety director and he was just getting started as a safety guy, but man, he certainly cared about the guys he worked with. Dave was a good man from the start. He’d say things like: “You’re so full of beans.” Just a down to earth, hardworking guy who became a fast friend. We drove all around New York State setting up jobs. I always let Dave drive so that I could rest. One fine day, way up North of Syracuse, we passed a state trooper.  I glanced at the speedometer. “You’re screwed,” I said, and seconds later, the lights came on. Dave was beside himself.  The cop stopped by the window, grabbed the license and registration and headed back to his vehicle. “Here’s the thing,” I said. “You’re pissed, but you’re such a good guy that I bet you tha

Mom & Ollie

 Ollie Stadium is a mess. The heavy rains rendered the backyard a mud pit and even though we threw in the side yard, the Big O was looking for more, and we were both covered in mud. I had to take some steam out of him somehow so I suggested we go visit Grandma. Ollie hates the car, but he laid quietly as we made the trip. We even brought the football because there is plenty of room to play at Grandma’s. Mom opened the door and started laughing. I thought about the love she had for every single dog we ever had. Oliver was quick to give my Mom a kiss, and then he stood beside her. The love between Mom and Dogs is a mutual bond. Through the years, Mom would make breakfast for the dogs.  Fried eggs, toast, bacon… She would wrap Christmas gifts for them. “To Jeter, Love Santa,” she would write on the cards. They played with the big chicken that made a lot of noise. Mom tossed the football and Ollie brought it back to her. As the visit drew to a close I headed for the door.  “C’mon, Oliver,”
