Memeorandum Has A Jones Jones

But first a little trivia for you before we get to what Memeorandum has a jones for today.

The use of "Jones" in this manner (noun and verb) dates back to at least 1968. Prior to that it was slang for "heroin," which helps explain how it became a term meaning "addiction." The word "jones" originally came from the heroin addicts who hung out in Manhattan's Great Jones Alley.

Memeorandum is mainlining news on Jones today, just as it was yesterday.

How fitting:

Sing It... Van Jones Cut Nasty Hate-Filled Music Album, Too! (Video) ...Update: Album Cover Found!

Personally, I prefer Hank Williams: Goodbye Jones, me gotta go, me oh my oh ....

I'm thinking Oba-jumbalaya will prefer it very soon, as well. In fact, the idiot has already waited too long. He must be hearing from the libs, especially the black caucus and the Earth-firsters, that he can't let Jones go without burning two constituencies.

Ha! So, instead, he's left looking like he can't handle the job in the eyes of everyone else.

Too bad!

I've always wondered where that term came from. I've always heard it in the context of "someone Jonsing" (sp?)

To the subject. I just posted my opinion which is: Obama is too classic of a narcissistic personality to run off Jones. It would mean that Glenn B, Michelle M, and all the rest of us "won." He cannot handle that!

Hussein Obama is a communist. Does anyone care to deny that? That's why he hired Van Jones, a fellow black nationalist communist.

The question is not when does Jones go but when will Hussein Obama be asked to leave office by the American people?

Perhaps it now time to reconstitute the House Unamerican Activities Committee. The pendulum has swung back to where it is needed.

To quote Clarence Thomas, "This is a high tech lynching."

No coincidence that the group "Color of Change" that Jones founded is leading the boycott against Glenn Beck's show. (Jones left long before the boycott, please note.)

This isn't about "honesty." This is about intimidation.

Now that you are apprised, will your stance shift?

Of course not. White conservatives attacking Black men in minor Administration positions isn't racist at all. Just like the phony "communist" and "socialist" memes aren't code words for what you'd REALLY like to say. (Your "cutsie pie" theft of Black slang -- "jonesing" -- would seem to buttress my argument.)

Don't you people believe in ANYthing other than gutter slander? Would you like to debate your fellow Americans, or would you rather traitorously bring the country down?

We're waiting for your answer, but not holding our collective breath.

Me and Mr. Jones

Me and Mr. Jones, we got a thing going on,
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong to let it cool down now.

We meet ev'ry day at the same greenie cafe,
Six-thirty I know he'll be there,
Shaking hands, making all kinds of plans
While the jukebox plays our favorite communist song.

Me and Mr., Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones,
Mr. Jones got a thing going on,
We both know that it's wrong,
But it's much too strong to let it cool down now.

We gotta be extra careful
that we don't build our hopes too high
Cause he's got his own obligations and so do I.

Me, me and Mr., Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones,
Mr. Jones got a thing going on,
We both know that it's wrong,
But it's much too strong to let it cool down now.

Well, it's time for us to be leaving,
It hurts so much, it hurts so much inside,
Now he'll go his way and I'll go mine,
But tomorrow we'll meet the same place, the same time.

Me and Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones.

"We're waiting for your answer, but not holding our collective breath."

I'd love to debate you there hartie boy. Problem is, you cats are only capable of parroting someone elses "thoughts". Geniuses like that formerly chubby comedien/actress who throws "racism" around like she's ever even seen it. You have no actual opinions of your own and therefore cannot defend them. you're serfs, willing to subjugate yourselves to any bureaucrat who promises you a freebie. Bring it on, but fair warning....I'm not sean hannity looking with frihtened bunny eyes at the big ole bully bob beckel......I've got the questions, bring your answers.

Yes indeed; how dare we judge a "Black" man by his words and deeds, aka the content of his character, rather than by his skin color.

Instead, we should be acknowledging the fact that, because he's "Black", everything he says is always right and that anyone who would dare criticize him is a "racist".

glen beck has slain the czar.
the msm can come out of their little village and take peep, or even a prod at the defeated beast.

this wasn't just some czar...this guy was being groomed for a lot more. obama doesn't have a male, blood heir, and this guy may have been the closest thing. i cannot believe beck pulled it off. there was a huge supporting cast, but it was almost exclusively conservative media generated and yet this moment comes to pass.

although I'm not a beck watcher, I'll be sure to tivo it for monday. a well deserved gloatfest.

[mark l.]

noticed that ap wrote the article without mentioning the word 'czar'.

i guess the word is now verbotten.

Oh well. I thought he was a good poster child for all things stupid in the administration but I have no doubt there will be others.
Here we go round the mullberry bush, the mullberry bush,,,,,,,so early sunday morning.
