Beyonce is a favorite singer of every member of the Obama family, and I really like Beyonce too.

But I deeply regret that George W. Bush would dislike Beyonce and every member of the Obama family because they are all black.

George W. Bush hates black people (indicated at http://andrewyu-jenwang.blogspot.com/2008/12/an... “George W. Bush hates black people”).

These rules are OK, but do you suppose the BLACK folk who need to see and practice them actually will?

Personally, I have high expectations that people know what a momentous and historic occasion the inauguration will be, so they will act accordingly.

Jill: I like these. Though, they didn't quite have the “punch” that “Mr. Roland's Rules”
have. :>)

I took a “Field Trip” over to his site to “axe” him IFF he was going to do soma his rules. :>) :>) He seems quite busy, though.

I guess it was supposed to be funny, I just didn't find it funny. I just found it sad that among us, this is what passes for funny.

Ummm, I wanted to laugh. I really did. But as a member of a BGLO, a College grad (meaning I attended many Homecomings), and a sports fan, I gotta say that this list truly disappointed me. It wasn't tongue in cheek like previous lists from election day. It had a tone that somehow bothered me to the core. It's almost as if to say that it is acceptable to have such substandard behavior at the aforementioned events. I mean, tell me how you really feel?

I am allllll the way out in California and I would give just about anything (except the $1,000+ it would take to get there) to be a part of this experience. But if ANYONE cannot act right, then they should be at home.
But really? if you have to say no fights, we have a problem. if you really have to mention how to act around police, you must not have concern for your life considering the fact that the "police" will consists of the National Guard and other members of the Armed Forces who will trump the Metro PD.

It has long been time to do better.

I passed this around my circle of friends and family.

I don't think the brother is that far wrong. This is not for people who know how to act. This is for people who don't.

It''s insulting to AfricanAmericans to go there. what lack of selfesteem this author has?
Where he should have gone is how to deal w/ all the s@#$ about how nothing happened?

So Beyonce is singing for their first dance….. I guess I have to take the good with the bad on Tuesday :P She's talented but when she sings live she tends to go on and on and well I hope the White House china is shatter proof.

As for the rules lol you just know someone will act a fool, wear something crazy, and it will be aired round the clock on Fox News and CNN lol!
