An off-beat – but very on beat – way to start the party
OK, bear with me, because things are going to start off a little strange this Friday afternoon and evening, but I think you’re going to like it. The group we’re going to feature to get this weekend started is called Staff Benda Bilili.
Here’s how Wikipedia tells their story:
Staff Benda Bilili are a group of street musicians in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. They used to live around the grounds of the zoo in the country’s capital city, Kinshasa, and play music which is rooted in rumba, with elements of old-school rhythm ‘n’ blues and reggae. The core of the band consists of four senior singers/guitarists, who are paraplegic (they had poliomyelitis when they were young) and move around in spectacularly customized tricycles. They are backed by a younger rhythm section consisting of abandoned street children who were taken under the protection of the older members of the band. The soloist is an 18 year-old boy (2009) who plays guitar-like solos on an electrified one-stringed lute he designed and built himself out of a tin can. The group’s name translates roughly from Lingala as “look beyond appearances.”
And this is what they sound like:
Sometimes you look around the world and you think that as a species, we can be pretty screwed up. And at other times, you see something like these guys and you think we might be OK after all.

And I thought for a second about seeing Atlas Shrugged, then I fell into a fit of uncontrolled laughter
So camping out in line for the premier of Atlas Shrugged 2: Dumb & Dumber is out of the question?

What about standing in line to see “Stand Your Ground: Bus Driver Strikes Back”?

*Disclaimer: I don’t condone violence, especially when it’s a man hitting on a woman. However, given the potential for younger people to carry weapons and use them, I understand this man’s reaction after being hit and spit on. I only wish he had called the police to handle things instead of trying to handle things on his own.

We were wondering the same thing at work. I think Mike Tyson was the last person I saw deliver one like that. It made the news in Cleveland after the video went viral. The news media interviewed the girl, but when they showed footage of the video, they didn’t include the part where she pushed the driver before he got up.

Warning – very sad content in link, below.
This video is about a young teen who committed suicide as a result of bullying, including cyberbullying. I’m posting it here (a public blog) because something in me (the teacher, I suppose) wants to help that young, vulnerable girl make her life count for something important, as she had wanted through having enough inner strength to make her video.

A sad and cautionary tale for parent about their children and the internet. It would be too easy to say that girl is to blame because it was her action that initially opened the door for blackmail.
But children don’t always know better and can be easily coerced.

I know you all are excited about the second installment of Atlas Shrugged…suggest you read the book first…also, helpful if you put her philosophy of objectivism (rubbish) aside if you are liberally capable…she was brought up in Stalins Russia where everyone was considered equal…thus, her story lines portray a society of a blend of those who want everyone to conform…these are the stories of those who didn’t fit….Great read for the unbiased reader who appreciates the top 100 or so works of fiction..
Also, we have talked about all of the GOP lies…anyone want to have a go at the DEM lies??

That was the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen. It didn’t take an uppercut to put down some 5 foot girl; especially when he outweighed her by a couple of pounds. so what she pushed him — his punk azz manhood was hurt because of a push?
She MIGHT of had a weapon, or she MIGHT have been pregnant — lots of MIGHTS there. He was angry because she was “talking back” and standing up to him — hence the uppercut. I had NOTHING to do with the push.
His punk azz better hope and pray that this girl doesn’t have anyone to stand up for her — someone who really DOES have a weapon.

“It would be too easy to say that girl is to blame because it was her action that initially opened the door for blackmail. But children don’t always know better and can be easily coerced.”
==================================
Thank you for taking the time to read and view Amanda Todd’s story, Kamchak. I agree with your above words.
I want to say to all that, imo, almost all 15 year olds should not be harshly judged in the “choices” that they make, even in their choice to drop out of school. At that age, most are products of their circumstances, and some don’t always have the most insightful or emotionally strong parents, themselves, to guide them. We should try to nuture and understand, rather than to judge, I think. And, as a society of hopefully caring people, we should try to discourage bullying from happening in any environment.
Parents of the bully must, also, be aware of their children’s actions and help them to understand the destructiveness of their actions not only to their victims, but to themselves. “It takes a village. . .”
Beautiful day today and tomorrow. I hope all will enjoy the weekend.

It’s sad when you see Black Americans being bashed for exercising their freedoms and supporting Democratic candidates. I don’t hear you whining about that bashing though.
if you are African American you’re not required to vote for Obama because he is black.
And nobody, other than ill-informed conservatives ever assert that Black Americans HAVE to vote for Obama either. We Black people already know we don’t have to support anybody because of the melanin content of the basal layer of their epidermis. We just can’t seem to get that through the thick skulls of some of y’all Caucasian Americans that can’t seem to grasp reality.

Had she not spit on and hit the driver, I’d agree with you. Also, I said that things would have been best handled by the driver had he called the police.
It should be a lesson to all parties involved including the people who witnessed the incident. If you don’t know the person, you have no idea of their mental state, their physical abilities/skills, or their thought process. From what I read, I think the girl was drunk, although the news report says she was on her way to work. Dude could be a Vietnam Vet with PSTD and flashbacks.
If somebody goes after that driver because of the girl, then they might wanna ensure that he’s not armed and prepared for such a strike. It’s just best to leave well enough alone at times. That’s why we have a court system.

Uh huh — from her actions that I saw, since it wasn’t posted what happened BEFORE that caused the argument in the first place, this GIRL could be a PTSD survivor. Lots of victims are angry for no reason, restless, can’t coordinate their thoughts, etc. For her to have told a man 3x her size to “Come on!” means that SHE had issues, not so much him.

Billionaire William Koch is facing a lawsuit in federal court from a former top-level employee who claims the energy mogul lured him to a secluded property, where he was imprisoned and interrogated for a period of time, according to a report in Courthouse News.
John Houston Scott, an attorney for Kirby Martenson, a former executive for a number of Koch subsidiaries, confirmed the story to HuffPost, adding that he guessed the case could go to trial in a year. …
Martensen alleges that the multiple-day-long incident was set off by an anonymous letter accusing Martensen of mismanaging and stealing from Oxbow Carbon & Minerals International while serving as the company’s vice president. That accusation prompted the company’s leadership to read Martensen’s letters and emails without his knowledge, the suit charges, which led the company to discover that Martensen had deep reservations about the legality of the company’s tax avoidance strategies.
Martensen alleges he was told by his superiors that he was transferred overseas to Asia so that the Koch company could avoid paying U.S. taxes on some $200,000,000 in profits.

Whats going on with the epidemic of teachers bopping their students? I know you’re an Elementary school teacher, but it seems to me if a teacher had a problem with impulse control, then that should be weeded out BEFORE they hire said teacher to teach!

The game was fairly close until the 4th quarter. Sagan started subbing in the 4th when it was out of reach.

Debbie, it is rather digusting that they will support tax fraud but whine about those who need real help.

Keep – Amen to that. Those taxes go to support roads, the military, bridges etc. America’s bridges are falling down, with people/cars on them. they don’t want to pay their fair share, yet they want the protection that being an American affords them.
I am sick to death of these leeches that call themselves patriots just because they have a little money in their pockets. What they really are are parasites.

That teacher thingie…it’s been going on a long time, it’s just now getting press. I have a lot to say on that subject, but first, there are some things you just don’t do if you’re in certain professions and particularly those that put you in contact with the young and impressionable.
And the odd thing is that for some reason we’ve been under the impression that it’s not just okay, but a good thing, when it’s heterosexual and female teacher. Having the hots for the teacher is a normal thing for the adolescent. Having the hots for the student is not.
My own experiences back in high school were one thing. But I did learn that it was the ones who went running into the night that I was supposed to emulate when I entered the profession.

josef — whats so dishonest about the whole thing, (the female teacher/male student thing) is that if that were a MALE teacher caught with 5 female students, he’d be UNDER the jail.
She only got 5 years! She deserved 20! If she was a male, the whole world would’ve been crying for the death penalty at least! IMO

Debbie, in the long run, the world is developing a class of “super-rich” beholden to no country, only themselves. They play “patriot” but only to line their pockets.

And if had been male-male…well, it probably WOULD have been the death penalty! It’s a triple standard at work and the Sandusky syndrome cuts across gender and choice of target lines. Sandusky deserved everything he got and more, too, But if they had been females? There would have been no such outcry, and if he had been a she and they hes, it would have been a heterosexual male wet dream come true…

Stevie,
The gop and their cons exist on this planet to fight for Americans that do not need any help from any American. .
Their cons will even pay 8000 dollars so those Americans that do not need any help from any Americans get another tax cut.
There is your other side of the issue.

josef: it would have been a heterosexual male wet dream come true…
Every teen movie has that scene in it! The sexy sultry vixen of a teacher suddenly falls for the nerdy boy with the good looks……..So I guess you’re right……..

Feel free. As you stated, we built “that” but they don’t pay for it. They just abuse it.
