Oakland/ Brooklyn Intuition

At the end of the DAY, the only thing that you have is yo heart, spirit, and your intuition.

Sista's we gotta use it. Real talk.

My intuition is teaching me to talk about the founk I have directly with the person I have it with and NOT tha' homies.

When that voice in your chest and in your head is telling, PLEASE BELIVE something, then gon' ahead and do it. God have you that gift for a reason. Use it.

Ms. Ahmad said something in the comments section that was SUPER real talk. In the movie Keeping Up With the Steins, they have a bar mitzfah. And she commented that Model Minorities need one too so we CAN END THE EXTENDED CHILDHOOD for NUCCA'S who aint tryna group up. But you don't hear me though.

Talk about getting MAD MONEY OF THE BOOKS THIS YEAR.
LEGALLY. UM. GO CAPITALISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

James Simons, a math whiz who founded Renaissance Technologies, made $1.5 billion in 2005, according to the survey by Alpha, a magazine published by Institutional Investor. That trumps the more than $1 billion that Edward S. Lampert, known for last year's acquisition of Sears, Roebuck, took home in 2004. (Don't fret for Mr. Lampert; he earned $425 million in 2005.) Mr. Simons's $5.3 billion flagship Medallion fund returned 29.5 percent, net of fees.

No. 2 on Alpha's list is T. Boone Pickens Jr., 78, the oilman who gained attention in the 1980's going after Gulf Oil, among other companies. He earned $1.4 billion in 2005, largely from startling returns on his two energy-focused hedge funds: 650 percent on the BP Capital Commodity Fund and 89 percent on the BP Capital Energy Equity Fund.

Mean Sexy. We need to start that list of billionaires to invite to the fund raiser for our school and put these negros at the top of the list.

At least you are not in her shoes. How you 'gone MAKE somebody be your maid.
They need to go to jail for 19 years.

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin (AP) -- A federal jury found a wealthy suburban couple guilty Friday of harboring an illegal immigrant and forcing her to work as their maid for 19 years.

The Filipino national testified during the eight-day trial that she felt like a prisoner in Jefferson and Elnora Calimlim's home.

The couple was found guilty of harboring an illegal immigrant for financial gain, conspiracy to harbor an illegal immigrant for financial gain, forced labor and attempted forced labor.

I would suggest as punishment, that they work for someone for the same amount of time. Poetic justice of the best sort right.

ATTENTION: The bi-weekly meeting of Republicans for Affrimative Action group will meet at Union Square on Saturday at 3 pm. This guy is going to be there.

The nation's most prestigious business school has accepted Blake Gottesman, a college drop-out whose whopping resume includes having dated Jenna Bush and supplying the President with breath mints.

Gottleman, who dropped out of Claremont-McKenna College in California after one year, landed a sweet job as Bush's personal assistant thanks to his long ties to the Bush family.

According to the Harvard Crimson:

Gottesman performs a wide range of duties, from dog-sitting the president's Scottish terriers, Barney and Miss Beazley, to carrying the president's speeches and giving him the "two-minute warning" before a speech begins.

He need to get on his knees and thank Martin Luther King jr. Every. Night. For real though.
