The penultimate Jeopardy! hottie

Sunday, 5 January 2020

Do people even say “hottie” anymore? 

To kind of set the tone, or at least make my tribute mild by comparison.

I did not make this and Kirstin Cutts is NOT the one being celebrated here.  Cutts was cute, but let fame go to her chin.

While Cutts is attractive she is no…

Maryann Penzvalto

...Maryann Penzvalto

A librarian from Cleveland, Ohio, Maryann plays the ukelele (aka “uke”) , loves Harry Pottter (insert wand joke) and was on not one but TWO of America’s bestest game shows!

Though I had to have seen her on Jeops in 2018, I didn’t quite remember her, or was too lazy to write down her name at the time.

I really saw her for the first time on Wheel last year.

I remember it very vividly: she wore this orange blouse. It was the first time I ever saw her in a blouse like that. That orange blouse is burned in my memory.

Beauty should be celebrated and so should brains, if they fill out an orange blouse like that.  Yay!

 

Holiday Horrors

DID YOU KNOW? “In 2013, a Black person was six times more likely than a non­-Black to commit murder, and 12 times more likely to murder someone of another race than to be murdered by someone of another race.

In 2013, of the approximately 660,000 crimes of interracial violence that involved Blacks and Whites, Blacks were the perpetrators 85 percent of the time. This meant a Black person was 27 times more likely to attack a White person than vice versa.”

Now that you have been made more aware of racial reality, we can focus on a crime which has attracted NATIONAL ATTENTION: the vandalizing of an inflatable Black Santa Claus!

Based on what we know of the history of balloon assassins, some liked to “leave a message” with a dramatic display of death while others, knowing all it takes is a single leak, used stealth. I’m no coroner, but I do watch many forensic TV shows, and it looks to me like Black Santa–a product no doubt made as cheaply as possible in China–ripped along one of its seams under the armpit.

The traumatized owner of Killed Kringle has another theory: TRUMP is behind it!

Police, however, aren’t so sure.

“Washington County Sheriff’s deputies confirm they’re investigating the incident as vandalism, but are having trouble searching for suspects because of a lack of surveillance cameras.

They’re going to have a lot of trouble with suspects, first because most hate crimes are hoaxes, hoaxes which waste valuable police resources concluding with the non-White (or non-male) hoaxer rarely being charged. 

Attention Washington Detectives:  if no one found a sharpened carrot, it wasn’t Frosty the Snowman. Jack Frost’s MO doesn’t fit either, Black Santa’s wound is too ragged to be from one of Frost’s razor-sharp icicles. (Also, there’s no snow anywhere.)

While the murder of inflatable Black Santa made global headlines on Drudge Report (or at least reached The Sacbee all the way from Oregon) you have likely never heard of Amber Clark, a North Californian librarian murdered by a homeless Black man she’d asked to leave the library two months earlier for causing a disturbance.

Murdered Shay

Imagine the nerve of this HUWHITE woman, bursting with PRIVILEGE, asking a former slave to leave the warmth of the library where he was quietly studying quantum mechanics! She deserved to die. Even though she never said the n-word she most likely thought it. Unfortunately, our RAYSISS “justice” system–the same one which turned a blind eye to a slain inflatable Black Santa, is charging the alleged assailant with first degree murder.

We as Americans must get our priorities straight.  I don’t want to live in a country where TRUMP can order drone strikes on inflatable Black Santas–and Black slaves are barred from reading!
