She wanted to do a traditional performance where she got up there on stage in a tasteful, yet sexy dress and sang with me. Basically she wanted to be the pure and innocent lady she is. But, what I can I say? A couple of minutes into rehearsal with me and the clothes were coming off. Happens all the time to me! I’m serious … <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>-</b> When I was six Jazmine Johnson wanted begged me to sit on my lap and for me to hold her while we went down the slide at the playground. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>-</b> When I was nine I was standing behind Shanice Jordan waiting for my turn at the pencil sharpener when Shanice asked me to stand really close behind her and crank the pencil sharpener for her. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>-</b> When I was fourteen my dad’s costar on “Growing Pains” Johanna Kerns told me she wanted to learn to play golf and asked if I would get behind her and put my arms around her and teach her to swing.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>-</b> When I was seventeen my photography teacher Mrs. Stone asked me to help her in the dark room and after the lights when out she started “accidentally” bumping my crotch with her phat ass. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Shit like this has happened to me all my life. I don’t do anything to bring these situations on. I’m naturally so damn sexy that women throw themselves at me. I start singing my special brand of white guy hip-hop and the next thing I know girls are dancing with me and grinding on me and telling me they want to do all kinds of nasty things to me.  <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Same thing happened to me in my video for my Summer Rape Anthem “Blurred Lines.” I’m singing along with track, trying to make a nice video for everyone out there to enjoy and damned if Emily Ratajkowski doesn’t get all naked and start grinding all over me! It’s crazy y’all! <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijadovvKgcYEOzLPBo_3ox9bmVZKftfRAxNdiVmH71ontp3Sa0L_aaZx_hL-Yob-R8emrRGFlMx3C61NF3NyuH9RB4A5mid5oQmaLn2Q7ey7TfnnQTIdzgjbyWZaOiUwTjeleI8bnldqdb/s1600/emily-ratajkowski-nude-thong-sexy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijadovvKgcYEOzLPBo_3ox9bmVZKftfRAxNdiVmH71ontp3Sa0L_aaZx_hL-Yob-R8emrRGFlMx3C61NF3NyuH9RB4A5mid5oQmaLn2Q7ey7TfnnQTIdzgjbyWZaOiUwTjeleI8bnldqdb/s320/emily-ratajkowski-nude-thong-sexy.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p><br /></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">So I think you can all see how this isn’t Miley’s fault. It isn’t really my fault either. Not that anyone has said it was my fault in any way. It’s kind of cool how all the blame is being put on the <strike>bitch</strike> girl. The blame lies with this damn out of control sexiness and animal magnetism I have. I start out trying to just do a straight up duet with someone on the VMAs and before I know it I look down and some 20 year old hottie is in her bra and <i>very moist</i> panties grinding her bony little ass against my 36 year old Thicke Stick™ while I’m innocently singing “I know you want it ….

We had corn for lunch and corn for dinner. <i>Yum.</i><br /><br />As we drove back through the rain and fog to Augusta with our prized ears, I told Barb about a growing-up memory when I was a little girl in Chesterfield County. My mom and aunt would buy dozens of ears of corn on the cob, parboil it, and slice it off the cobs into freezer bags for good winter eating. My sister and I would sit eagerly at the table waiting for leftover cobs that had just enough of the good kernels left for nibbling. That was some <i>gooood</i> eating. Barb has done her share of putting up corn in the freezer, too.<br /><br />Memories and summertime corn. It was all good today.<br /><br />The Liskeys have been growing and selling corn for 29 years. Mrs. Liskey said they will be there for another 10 days or so and then that will be it for this year. With Labor Day cookouts this weekend, you may want to get some for the grill.<br /><br />The stand is on Rt. 11 just south of the Rockingham Farmers Market (with the windmills) and is open Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. Corn is priced $5.50/dozen, $3/half dozen, and $0.50 an ear. The fields surround the stand ... it is as fresh as it can be -- picked each morning. Their phone number is 540.434.2196.<br /><br />Summer and corn-on-the-cob. As Andy Griffith would say, "Hmm, hmm, good!"<br /><br />Photos by Lynn R. Mitchell<br />August 28, 2013

Granted GERMANY has upcoming elections in a couple of weeks and thus prefers to keep a low profile on the international stage, but on the other hand is the key player in the EUROPEAN UNION and usually does not let FRANCE and BRITAIN take the helm regarding EU foreign policies. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">RUSSIA WILL NOT INTERVENE </span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">RUSSIA on the other hand, despite being a strong ally of SYRIA will not intervene in case of US military intervention in SYRIA.

The 1915 agreement some argue, was the reason not only for the division of SYRIA but also the starting point of the ISRAELI Palestinian conflict and thereby causing instability in the entire region.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div style="border: solid windowtext 1.0pt;

The Civil Rights Act was expanded in 1968 <a href="http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/programdescription/title6">to guard against racial, sexist, religious, and other forms of discrimination</a> in all sectors of the housing market.  <a href="http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/fair_housing_equal_opp/FHLaws">Various executive orders</a> have also strengthened the federal government’s commitment to ending housing discrimination.  Today, the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Fair Housing Program focuses on providing equal access to housing for all Americans.<br /><br />Although housing discrimination is now illegal, segregated communities are commonplace, especially in denser areas. Cities have been devastated by the housing crisis that began with banks' predatory lending and concluded with aggressive, often illegal foreclosures. The <a href="http://www.ncrc.org/images/stories/pdf/research/ncrc_foreclosurewhitepaper_2011.pdf">National Community Reinvestment Coalition</a> reports that more than 10.5 million properties went into foreclosure in the 53 months beginning January 1, 2007. And,<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">...up to 12 million more foreclosures were projected from the fourth quarter of 2008 to 2014... .As of December 12, 2010, 1,762,694 borrowers were seriously delinquent (i.e., over 60 days delinquent, or over 30 days delinquent in case of bankruptcy)  ... The total equity lost by families with recently foreclosed properties is estimated at $5.6 trillion...  In addition, an estimated $502 billion in property value has been lost due to nearby foreclosures....  The effects of the economic crisis have been enormous, both nationally and globally, and the confidence Americans once had in homeownership as a path to wealth has been shaken. Current and future generations will be impacted for decades to come.</blockquote>Fifty years after protesting for an end to housing discrimination in the city, a 2011 fair housing test in Seattle found that <a href="http://www.seattle.gov/civilrights/Documents/2011FairHousingTestingReportfinal.pdf">over half of the properties tested showed evidence of illegal discrimination</a>.  Two-thirds of properties gave better terms to white homebuyers and renters.<br /><br />The US Department of Justice says on its website that: <br /><div><blockquote class="tr_bq">Race discrimination in housing continues to be a problem. The majority of the Justice Department's pattern or practice cases involve claims of race discrimination. Sometimes, housing providers try to disguise their discrimination by giving false information about availability of housing, either saying that nothing was available or steering homeseekers to certain areas based on race.Because potential homeowners are often not aware of the manipulation, it becomes very difficult to fight the discrimination.</blockquote>Regardless of how illegal housing discrimination has been for decades, <a href="http://www.s4.brown.edu/us2010/Data/Report/report0727.pdf">race is still more predictive of housing status than income</a>.<br /><br />African-American, American Indian, and Latino children are <a href="http://www.aecf.org/~/media/Pubs/Initiatives/KIDS%20COUNT/D/DataSnapshotonHighPovertyCommunities/KIDSCOUNTDataSnapshot_HighPovertyCommunities.pdf">between six and nine times more likely</a> than white children to live in areas with a high concentration of poverty.<br /><br />Forty-five percent of black children live in areas where over one in three people live in poverty, while only 12 percent of white children live in similar areas.<br /><br />The effects are very clear. Neighborhoods with high levels of poverty have <a href="http://www.aecf.org/~/media/Pubs/Topics/Economic%20Security/Asset%20and%20Wealth%20Development/TheReEmergenceofConcentratedPovertyMetropolitanTrendinthe2000s/reemergence_of%20concentrated%20poverty_kneebone_nadeau_berube.pdf">fewer educational opportunities, higher crime rates and higher costs for private investment and businesses</a> – exactly where families do not want to live.<br /><br />Continued housing discrimination, especially a generation after the government supposedly solved it, is a disgrace. It is time to march again.<br /><br /></div>
