Republicans Capitalize on the Sleeping Black Man During President Obama's Speech At Vermont Ave. Baptist in Washington D.C. Church
1/17/09 - What appeared to be an elderly choir member of the church may as well have been a Republican plant for the damage that was done to the President's speech. Obama's speech touched on the those strides that have been made thus far and how much further we will have to go, as the man sitting over his right shoulder yawned and dozed throughout the address. Republican blogs were hot with the news during and after the event.
During his visit to St. Louis for Missouri's Martin Luther King Celebration Kick-off, Reverend Dr. Al Sharpton made the audience realize that he had done his homework or been made aware of the audience that he faced here.
On the heels of our Holiday Edition of the RiverCity Examiner, there have been calls from sources in St. Louis City Hall regarding 2010 furloughs, planned layoffs and the Mayor’s appointments of unqualified cronies. I believe that the article that prompted these sources to feel free to come forth is the – “It’s Like Spanky and the Buckwheats: How ‘Our Gang’ Antics Keep St. Louis Stuck In the 1950’s” http://rivercityexaminer.com/gang.html.

"MoDOT's Director Peter Rand says that he fears litigation from the White contractors who don't want a separation of DBE goals. He should be as fearful or even more of litigation from the NAACP on behalf of Black people who have been continuously shut out of opportunity."
PAGE AVENUE SPEED TRAP! Drivers beware! RCE has had numerous calls to look into officers rolling in the opposite direction and clocking speeds of passing drivers. Pagedale and Vanita Park Police have been the subects of the calls. Young Black male drivers seem to be the common target. Oddly, young Black male officers are giving the numerous tickets. This is definitely one to Examine closely. Stay Tuned and beware. More Protests in St. Louis and many more to come! FRANCIS SLAY GETS THE BOOT, AGAIN!!! This time it's from a Texan! RiverCity Examiner readers are currently raising funds to contribute to Brewster McCracken's campaign.

From www.wgi.org 4/6/09 WGI Temecula, CA Review Percussion Independent A Show Me Sound Focus Drumline (St. Louis, MO) 2nd Place, 81.45
Receiving the only standing ovation of the entire day, Show Me Sound Focus Drumline provided a breath of fresh air - as well an entertaining show that created an instant connection between the audience and the performers. Calling upon a catalogue of familiar tunes - particularly those within the Jackson 5 canon - Show Me Sound’s performance was a perfect example of the effect the activity has on those who participate. The production itself was”old school” oriented, but still managed to generate a rousing response from the audience. Moonwalking, versatile musicians and an energetic performance made Show Me Sound one of the most discussed ensembles of the entire day. Congratulations to Terry Artis and the ensemble for making the trek out here to California - it was a worthwhile experience for everyone involved and concrete proof of the timeless experiences and educational values that this activity provides.
Starring: Rush Limbaugh as (Who) Michael Steele as (What) and Bobby "Golden Boy" Jindal as (I Don't Know)
My nephew came to me last week and asked, “Uncle Terry, can you teach me about the Republican Party?” Seeing this as an opportunity to broaden the lad’s education in American politics, I sat him down and explained it like this... Unc: Well, Nephew, in the Republican Party, Who is the leader, What is the Chair and I don’t know is the hopeful. Nephew: That’s what I’m asking you, Unc. Unc: That’s what I’m telling you, Nephew. Who is the leader, What is the Chair and I don’t know is the hopeful. Nephew: What’s the guy’s name that’s the leader? Unc: No! What is the Chair. Who is the leader. Nephew: I don’t know. Unc: He’s the hopeful. Nephew: Would you please tell me the person’s name that leads the Republican Party? Unc: Who. Nephew: The Party’s leader. Unc: Who! Nephew: The person running the GOP. Unc: Who is the party’s leader!! Nephew: I don’t know! Unc: No! He’s the party’s hopeful. Leave him out of this for now. Nephew: I didn’t bring him in it. Unc: Well you mentioned his name. Nephew: Who’s name? Unc: No you mentioned the hopeful’s name, alright? Nephew: I don’t know. Unc: That’s correct. Nephew: Tell me, Unc, when the leader of the Republican Party talks to the people, who speaks? Unc: Naturally. Mostly on the radio. Nephew: So, Naturally speaks on the radio? Unc: No, Who speaks! Nephew: Naturally. Unc: Yes. Nephew: That’s what I said. Unc: That’s not what you said, but that’s correct. Nephew: OKAY!? Then when the leader gets a paycheck, who gets it? Unc: Naturally. After all he has a ridiculous contract and he’s entitled to it. Nephew: Who is? Unc: Naturally. He used to have a mail order bride, I’m sure that she still gets it. Nephew: Who’s mail order bride? Unc: Naturally. Nephew: So Naturally’s mail order bride gets the check. Unc: No! Who’s mail order wife. Nephew: Naturally. Unc: Correctomundo! Nephew: Listen Unc, I’m giving up on the Republican Party. We’re going round and round and for WHAT? I don’t know! He’s the hopeful and who’s the party’s leader I still don’t know and I don’t care. Unc: Say that name again, Nephew, I didn’t hear you. Nephew: I DON’T CARE! Unc: Oh yeah, he’s the former Vice President and a Republican as well.
This parody is derived from Who's On First. A brilliant comic routine performed by the late greats Bud Abbott and Lou Costello.
