Margaret and Helen on the media

September 21, 2009, 5:13PM

These are my two newest and best digital friends. They are absolutely funny!

The biggest problem facing America today isn't the war, the economy, healthcare or even racism. The biggest threat to America is the lack of news coverage in our newscasts. Honestly I don't give a damn what LaToya Jackson thinks, what Paris Hilton ate, what Hillary Clinton is wearing or who Brad Pitt is dating. And I especially don't give a rat's ass what 78,000 peckerwoods with too much time on their hands think about something as complicated as Universal Healthcare.

They're a hoot aren't they? Or I should say Helen is a hoot. Margaret is her "Ed McMahon".

Helen says:

Let me just say something about the 9-12 Project. On September 12, 2001 everyone was an American. There were no Blue States and no Red States. There were no Black Americans and no White Americans. There were no Europeans, no Asians, no Hispanics, no Africans… The world was standing with America against the evil that is terrorism. The globe was united like never before. And what did our President do when given that moment? He told us all to go shopping while he and his buddies planned a war. And 8 years later the 9-12 project has been reduced to a movement of no Blacks, no Hispanics, no Asians… just 78,000 white people who can’t spell.

I sincerely hope I can be this smart when I am Helen's age, though I doubt I'll be this funny.

That's hilarious! And so right on. . .

And to think nobody else has thought about it that way. That's why she's one of a kind. I hope she lives forever.
