My old lady told me today she heard somewhere that 2/3 of black households consist of one-parent families. Where'd all these niggas run off to?

Just listening to the samples on their site now. I like. Sounds a bit like a far more brutal and blasting version of Anata. Sick bass work.

MIAMI (Reuters) - A Florida voter may have unwittingly lost hundreds of thousands of dollars by using an extremely rare stamp to mail an absentee ballot in Tuesday's congressional election, a government official said on Friday.

The 1918 Inverted Jenny stamp, which takes its name from an image of a biplane accidentally printed upside-down, turned up on Tuesday night in Fort Lauderdale, where election officials were inspecting ballots from parts of south Florida, Broward County Commissioner John Rodstrom told Reuters.
Only 100 of the stamps have ever been found, making them one of the top prizes of all philately.
Rodstrom, a member of the county's Canvassing Board, said he spotted the red and blue Inverted Jenny on a large envelope with two stamps from the 1930s and another dating to World War Two.
The nominal value of the four vintage U.S. Post Office stamps was 87 cents, he said.
"I thought, 'Oh my God, I know that stamp, I've seen that stamp before,"' said Rodstrom, 54, who dabbled in stamp collecting as a boy. "I'd forgotten the name. I just remembered there was a stamp with an upside-down biplane on it and that it was a very rare, rare stamp."
Rodstrom said he did not examine the envelope's postmark, but it had no return address and the ballot was disqualified because it gave no clue as to the identity of the voter.
Election officials have been too busy certifying the outcome of Tuesday's race to have the stamp authenticated, Rodstrom said.
A block of four of the stamps sold for almost $3 million last year, however, and Rodstrom said the one that turned up Tuesday night could fetch about $500,000 for Broward County at auction.
"It's now government property," he said.
A postmark on a stamp usually would hurt its value but Rodstrom said the story behind this one -- plus the fact that it is joined by other old stamps on the envelope -- might actually increase its worth.
Rodstrom said he doubted the stamp would ever be handed over to someone claiming to have mailed it inadvertently.
"It would be hard to prove, I guess you would have to say it was a person who had Alzheimer's," he said.

What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse
Alzheimer's is the absolute worst disease imaginable. I had to watch my grandfather go through that, and the only thing worse was watching what it did to the family. My mom and I both agreed that if it ever happened to one of us, we'd ask a family member to give us ye olde euthanasia treatment. Period.
Anyhow, I read that stamp thing earlier today and still LOL'd at it. Whoops!

Jesus. That stamp story is a serious bummer. Imagine being the person who did that and you were only drunk and not insane. So like the next day, hungover a bit, you noticed your million dollar stamp was gone. I'd be like, "fffffuuuuuuuuuuuck" and then start drinking some more.

I hate wiener dogs. Dreadful creatures.
Yeah whites and blacks are the minorities in New Mexico, mostly Hispanic ( Duh) illegal ( duh), Vietnamese, and Pueblo and Navajo indian. Id take blacks over the hispanics anyday. Seriously. Blacks get all gansta and shoot you in the face, at least you have a chance to give them your wallet and live. Hispanics get all gansta and shoot you when your back is turned. During August is gang initiation in the south valley. They literally drive by and shoot people in the back that are watering their yards and just drive off , thats how they get what is called their " BONES". In my truck I carry a knife, a bat , and a tire iron under my seat. We have the highest DUI rate in all of the U.S. our own city officals have driven and been pulled over while intoxicated. Most of the neanderthal white trash lives in Tennesse and Arkansas.
