Grandpa Pookie: "Greetings, members of the Illumi-Nappy-Headed, Sausage Sandwich Sisters Electric Slide for World Peace and Rent Money, Stop the Ham Hocks and Decrease the Pork Grease Coalition, Women in Church Hats (Union # 297 1/3), and Ghetto Science Homeland Security Team. As a concerned chairperson of the Ghetto Science Team, I've ordered this special meeting because my senses have become quite sensitive. Maybe it's global warming or that Bubba Robinski soy protein sausage biscuit I ate. Nevertheless, I feel a paradigm shift. My concern today is how will people respond when the 'shift' moves to overdrive?

"Will common folk receive the 'shaft' because of the shift? Ask some senior citizens and disabled on Medicaid, skilled and unskilled workers, the unemployed, thousands of soldiers at war and the children left behind.

"My reason for becoming so sensitive is because two African-American coaches will compete in the Super Bowl, and because a charismatic African-American male named Obama and Bill Clinton's wife will run for president.

"So at this point in time, we (the common folk) have approached a heightened level of insecurity. Therefore, I must quote pop-music star Phil Collins when he penned: 'I can feel it coming in the air tonight,' oh Lawd! And allow me to include this modern day cliché to further illustrate our possible situation: 'It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time!'

"My suggestion to the distinguished members of ghetto society is to 'Watch Yo Back!' This is a drama waiting to unfold, as we anticipate change."

Well, Ken, with this said, I don't know whether to shout or run. But if all I'm gonna have to eat is peanut butter sandmiches, I'm tempted to run and shout at the same time. Are you saying some folks gonna be mad and there will be some repercussions and consequences. At least Obama is clean, as we learned yesterday from Senator Biden; and if Dungy and Smith has any sense at all they will take a bath before game, at half-time, and at the game's end. Then, maybe somebody will use the never-before-used term to describe a black professional coach - coaching genius. And 3 baths should imply at least that they're clean, too. Sho Nuff! Watch out there now!

Sorry for that grammar error. And maybe somebody will also say Ray Carter caught one of his errors.
