Nigga Hush...

they're drawn on paper
yet so wise beyond their years
artistic genius

This evening Andrelaso reminded me that a new cartoon was being shown on Adult Swim. Yes, today, Sunday November 6, 2005, Aaron McGruder's The Boondocks was shown to the world. It was the best thing I've seen on television in some time. In addition to witty political satire, it was chuck full of racial remarks that probably shouldn't be on television. For those of you who are not aware, this grew out of a daily comic strip featured in over 350 newspapers nation-wide. Some keep it in the editorial pages where as others have pulled it from the newspaper all together due to its controversial views on issues such as the war. If you live in a conservative area, more likely than not, you will not find it.

That's the thing about Republicans -- they're good for running their mouthes, however when it comes to a differing opinion it's anti-american and Democratic lies. Boondocks has come at a point in time where we need free speech and fresh ideas. A graduate from the University of Maryland, McGruder brings current issues together with a killer urban style unlike anyone else. It really is too bad that he doesn't have a larger readership because high school/college aged individuals could take a lot from the ideas that he presents and spin it into something they can arm themselves with to educate others.

What am I talking about -- why would we want to educate people who don't vote? It's not like they're going to make a difference if they decide to go to the polls. Right. If we could motivate these people to vote, a small village in Texas wouldn't be missing their idiot at the present time. This blog is obviously coming too late because it's too late to register to vote, however if you are registered, I'm sure that someone is going to be up for office on Election Day, perhaps an incumbent who grossly doesn't deserve the office chair s/he is sitting on.

Regardless, it's up to us all to make a difference. While Aaron is using his talent to write and illustrate The Boondocks, you too can make a difference by casting a vote. If we could have gotten enough people who didn't vote to do their Constitutional duty, then we wouldn't be in the mess that we presently reside.

Vote Republicans... Off the Island...
