We frequently hear complaints during the school year about groups of kids on their way home from school misbehaving and causing problems on the city's public transit system. And now WMATA is encouraging you to lodge those complaints with Metro Transit Police. Metro has designated a specific phone number, 202-962-2118, to report disruptive behavior on the part of kids. The transit agency also says it will be deploying additional officers to trouble spots during the after-school hours, in an effort to break up trouble before it escalates.

WHAT!?!? You mean to tell me there is a number that I can call when these little hoodrats on the train and the bus get out of pocket. Thank you Jesus! I wonder what happens when you call though. Is Metro Police giving out tickets? What they need to do is make the hoodrats sit in a room with a dead ipod and make them listen to something really annoying like Opera music until they snap. I feel like I'm gonna scream when my pod dies and i have to listen to them scream at each other. Its only fair

Republicans Have NO Manners

I'm not very into politics but I do try to stay up on the current events happening in the world. This article that I read this morning hit pretty close to home and kinda pissed me off!

Michael Steele might have lost them when he talked about hip-hop. Early into his Sept. 1 event at Howard University, a well-promoted affair that filled a small ballroom, the first black chairman of the Republican National Committee went on a tangent about his seven-month-old musings on how the GOP could appeal to voters in “urban/suburban hip-hop settings.” The audience, mostly students of the historically black college, listened raptly...Steele-"You have amongst you right now a generation of African-American entrepreneurs who are creating incredible wealth, and they’re investing it, some of it, in the community. They’re controlling that wealth. How are they doing it? Well, instead of the publisher or the record company owning the rights to their music, they own the record company.”Not for the the last time, a few members of the crowd furrowed their brows, looking confused.

Damn right people were confused. WTF Chairman Michael Steele! Do you feel like the only way you can relate, "be down", "get Jiggy" with HBCU students is to talk about hip-hop? As a Howard University Alumni I am truly offended. This would not be the topic of conversation at a town hall meeting at USC, Yale, or even up the street at University of MD. Excuse me, Howard is a very prestigious African American University and the students expect to be treated accordingly. As a black man, you expect more from us as we expect more from you. This is a town hall meeting, how about you speak about the ISSUES instead of tryna be the next Jay-Z.

UGH...no f'ing manners!!!

BTW (and if you are a Howard student you know this) we can talk about Howard all day but as soon as an outside person tries to disrespect our school, we will come at your throat buddy and it will not be pleasant.
