Fierce Diva - Humor and Insight for the Grown and Sexy

George Carlin,American Badass...R.I.P

More sad news...one of the funniest and most profound comedians of all time has died.  Yet another bummer.  I just finished crying (literally) about my man Tim Russert, and now GC has gone and died on me too.  I'm not crying this time. I think George had a pretty damn good life and considering all the shit he did to himself, it's a miracle that he made it to 71 years old.  It's still sad though. The things he could have gotten away with saying as an 90 year old man would have been even funnier than the politically incorrect rants of his youth. I hope he and Tim are somewhere together having a good belly laugh.  Here's one of my favorite George Carlin routines...

R. Kelly - Dirty Bastard of the Decade!

I've been so busy with my new job that I haven't had the time to vent my absolute horror, outrage and disgust at the acquittal of R. Kelly on child pornography charges. I have to get this one out, late or not.

Why in the hell can’t a jury convict a celebrity? Does singing a bunch of lame R&B songs that all sound the same give you a free pass to have sex with little girls? Especially when there is video? WTF?!?! What do the rich and famous have to do, short of confessing to a crime, to get their asses thrown in jail for breaking the goddamn law? This man has a history of sleeping with under aged girls. Rumor has it that he has paid off at least 10 other girls for the same damned offense which says to me that he is a hardcore pedophile. Otherwise, why would he continue to tempt fate by sleeping with children?  He preys on little girls who are mesmerized by his fame and money. Then when he gets caught, he uses that same fame and fortune to convince the parents of these girls to let him get away with molesting their child by paying them off. The whole thing is just repugnant! These little girls are too wild for their own good. R. Kelly is a sick son of a bitch that apparently can’t deal with grown women and the parents that took the hush money are nothing more than pimps who should have been charged with child molestation as well.

This case also infuriates me for a couple of other reasons. It sickens me how the black community rallied around this sick criminal like what he did wasn’t “that bad”. I refused to watch the tape because I think it’s vile as well as illegal. Other people I’ve talked to that have seen the tape say that the person in the tape is definitely R. Kelly. Friends of the girl at the center of the trial testified that they recognized her as Kelly’s partner in the video so it should have been an open and shut case in my opinion. Just like other crimes involving high-profile black defendants, the black community immediately came to the asshole’s defense. His career didn’t suffer. His lifestyle didn’t change one bit, and he sold even more records than he did before he was exposed as the deviant that he is. The other thing that pisses me off is the apparent disregard for the value of a young black woman. It took four fucking years for that bastard to be tried and that was after the two years it took for him to be indicted in the first place! The fact that there was any hesitation to bring such a heinous crime to trial boggles the mind. I’d be willing to bet that if it had been a tape with R. Kelly having sex and pissing on an Ashley Tisdale look-a-like, his ass would have been locked up the same day, denied bail, tried within 6 months and he’d be on year 5 of his 15-year sentence.

When R. Kelly does this again (and he will) I hope it’s with the 13-year old daughter of one of the star-struck idiot jurors that acquitted him. It probably wouldn’t matter though. They’re probably hoping for the same thing so that they can get paid too. Sick, twisted and pretty damned sad:(
