Detroit Hosts the High Times Medical Cannabis Cup 2011 - October 15 - 16, 2011
It's rumored that Snoop Dogg or even boy wonder Wiz Khalifa could be the guest entertainment, and you know we couldn't miss that. besides who would want to miss the awards ceremony where you get to see the top growers, and the top strains in the Michigan market. This is the information that michigan patients and caregivers will be relying upon for the next year; to establish the market standard. Michigan is under the gun in the court system to clean up it's legislation and language. hopefully this event will bring together big minds and put the compassion issue back on the front page.
BadGalsRadio will be there to bring you the play by play judging of the various strains entered in the awards. And Yes, We will have a Certified Michigan Medical Marijuana Card User in attendance to give us the full review of the strains, waxes, oils and other medical marijuana products. We believe that the only way to have a fair assessment is to participate in the judging, of the best local producers offerings.

This is just a reminder that sometimes we wish for things but we just don't get them. No matter how rich or white or mormon you are, it's not always a done deal, in America. Such is the case of a lil boy from Michigan named Mitty Romney. it's a sad saga but someone had to finally tell it, from the hometown perspective.
Today Is That Day Folks -
You See, MITTY ROMNEY IS A MICHIGAN THROW AWAY. and for the record he's not worth the .10 deposit off that can of whoop ass we're about to open up today.
Just to think that he had the nerve to say that he'd let Detroit Go Bankrupt.. Bish Please.
Eminem Said " They can't say you ain't beautiful, they can alll get fucked cause it ain't true.." Yeah My Boy, Tell Em -
Mitty Watch This and Remember "What You Bankrupted"
Wayyyyy back in the 60's when Mittys' daddy George Romney was the governor of Michigan; things were a-changing. He was on the downward swing of the economic changes and suburban political swings that would bring about White Flite. Yes He was the governor who ordered the National Guard to drive a tank through my neighborhood in 1967.
Talk about White Fear.. and Avarice
Mitty reminds us of that White Flight and the White Fears.. always wanna throw something away before you look at it to see if it's still usable; like Detroit. they have such an insecurity about control; that they have to be anal retentive about everything. Absolutely to the point, that they shit on it.
So many politicians have attempted to Shit on the D, and all found that the D took a bite out of their asses. Mitty is finding that his comments will be the foundation of what will prevent anyone from seeing him as a candidate, for President. Even the republicant's aren't so brain dead, that they'd ignore a comment like that.
Remember Detroit has a lot of republican influence asserted against it. you have Rick the shit Snyder; Oakland Countys' Brooks the crook Patterson; and even Robert I fucked up Ficano; all republicant's.
Detroits' problems are massive. Most of them stem from the horrendous budget cuts and lack of funding; to the largest city and highest tax base recepient in the State of Michigan. Yes Detroit pays more than any other city to the state, and still it receives less than most cities its' size anywhere else in the nation. This is the real reason for it's budget shortfalls; and continued denegeration as a city.
Hipsterish gentrification seems to be behind this. Everyone has seen the plans for the new smaller hipper Detroit. The New Detroit that doesn't include any faces of the people who have lived here for generations. those faces are the ones who are being called Bankrupt by faces like Mitty.
There has to be a clearer path to reality in our Rustbelt metropolis, other than bankruptcy. But if bankruptcy is their choice then give us the keys when you pull the fuck out and we'll show you what Detroit can really be.
You see thats' the real problem. no one wants to turn control of the real affairs of the city over to those residents who have ridden it out from the 50's, 60's 70's and even the 80's.
We've been here and we're still here
The hipsters are coming in, buying property for pennies; creating small enclaves within a city. That in itself is anti city. How do you create a walled fortress inside of a neighborhood and want to be considered a part of that neighborhood ? not gonna happen.
This is what white flite brings back. The pre funded urban grunge sympathiser who doesn't see the struggle that the family who has lived here for 50 years has dealt with.
They don't have the equity in the community to have suffered through the lack of bank loans to help with up keep on their property; even though they've banked there for generations. Their newish wsp will open doors that still swing shut on generational residents even to this day. How healthy or business saavy can that be in any economic climate ? selective lending and other redlining issues have and still continue to plague Detroit residents.
The high taxes for city services which lack even a semblence of basics. The absence of street maintenance; the lack of appropriate trash pick up. this has led to dumping by contractors from all over the tri county area, who instead of paying to dump their loads in landfills as mandated; just pull up to a vacant lot and unload their crap, right on Detroit.
Calls to the police while this dumping is happening also do no good; as the Police don't respond. To city residents who are the victims of this faceless crime, it almost seems as though they don't respond so that it can continue. This is a part of the devaluation of entire neighborhoods, which have literally burned or crumbled to the ground.
Now undercover Republican't Mayor former basketballer and union busting industrialist Dave Bing; has a plan to parcel off and sell these neighborhoods to developers.
Yes I said he intends to sell entire neighborhoods to gated community developers. Thereby removing part of the tax base and residential housing base from the city; And he plans to do it without even a vote from the citizens.
The most horrendous crime as far as we can see is the total lack of community policing to address the pockets of crime. If you call the police for assistance, and there is not a weapon involved, they don't come period. This is inexcusable in a city with more than 3000 police officers.
Crime in Detroit has reached the point that frustrated community members are responding directly to the police, by ambushing them when they rob them; and even going so far as to come to the police station armed and ready for combat. you may remember the incident where a Detroiter and the Police shot it out in a police station last year.
Unfortunantely no one heard the reason for the shoot out because the police hushed it up. The streets have it that this man had been robbed and pistol whipped by plain clothes police from this very preceint. yes I said Robbed and Pistol Whipped By the Police. The cops in the D are a rare breed to put it mildly. not all are wearing the balaclavas, but the blue wall of silence makes them all the same.
They openly terrorize the community and hold the youth hostage, with no recourse. This is a part of the reason Detroit is still under a Federal Justice Consent Decree Monitoring program. the cops are wayyy off the hook and no one is trying to reign them in. they don't prevent crime, they basically ignore it to help degenerate the citys' profile. This is a major part of the reason frustration has risen so high with law enforcement.
As Well, for generations the lack of community control of the schools system has led to the inability to provide a prepared pool of workers for a city dying of employer neglect. you either went to work in an auto factory or one of the hospitals. now there are no factory jobs and the hospital needs skilled workers.
Presently the few public school programs that help Detroit youngsters get into healthcare field positions are totally underfunded. so much so that they don't have enough teachers to supply the need for classes. yet they don't have enough money to hire the teachers, to teach the students who are in queue for Healthcare curiccullums. What a circular travesty.
Detroit Wants to Know How You'd Handle These Issues Mitty ?
How can you turn out skilled workers if you don't teach Currently In Demand skills ?
Where are the programs for robotics ?
What about electronics equipment repair programs ?
What about construction trades ? these are all in demand and in need fields that are not even a part of the Detroit Public Schools system curriculum.
What about the Pharmacy Tech and Healthcare field programs that get funding assistance from corporate interests, Where are they ?
Why is this happening Mitty ?
Mostly because the funds have been mismanaged to the point that the community elected school board has been usurped by the governor and replaced with a school system manager. yes a person who okays everything instead of a board who was elected to run the schools by the voters.
We'd also like to ask these questions about our taxes and development funds Mitty -
Why is it that companies like Compuware get millions of dollars of tax relief; Yet a small business or store owner gets nothing for providing food or services in his neighborhood ?
Why do the traffic patterns lead you only away from commerce, unless it's into the block granted areas of non Detroit owned businesses ?
Where are the grants to develop neighborhoods and preserve the economic infrastructure needed to maintain a neighborhoods' stability and economic integrity ?
Why do we have so many liquor stores and so few supermarkets ?
Why are there so many fast food outlets and so few neighborhood Mom and Pop Cafes' ?
What happened to backyard garden projects in vacant lots with the help of the Wayne County 4H cooperative ?
What happened to kids going outside and picking up paper on their schools' yards and planting gardens and flowers ?
Where are our Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts selling cookies ?
Yes we ask these questions because these are the questions that archive the active life of a community. Not a criss cross of miniature fortified enclaves met by freeway escape ramps. What happened to the Beauty that Is Detroit ?
Lets' Ask Mitt and His Republicant's because they're the ones who defunded and Bankrupted them.
The very next republican't we hear speaking about Detroit better have a bill in his hand and be handing it to the cashier with currency. Because otherwise we're just gonna go DMX UP In HERE.
This is that Special Dedication that we spoke about earlier - just for You Mitty
Mitty Why Don't You Go Back to Montana and Pick Dental Floss on your pigmy pony.
Now Can We Get A Lil RESPECT

Sunday this week finds us in quite a blue mood. Early in the week we learned the Queen of Soul - Aretha Franklin has Pancreatic Cancer. she's had surgery and is resting comfortably in a Detroit hospital. Aretha always the queen, thanked everyone who lent a prayer and thought for her this week.
We hope you'll keep praying with us for our star.
We Love You Re Baby..
This is from E-News
Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin has cancer, her family announced Wednesday.
The music legend's relatives and sources close to her confirmed the sad news to Detroit's Fox 2 station and The Detroit News, adding they are deeply worried about the icon's health.
We Support Our History and Our Culture Always. this is an event that is of major importance for those interested in both History and Religious History. it's going to be held in Detroit on Saturday June 26, 2010. The Speaker is a man that needs little introduction. Dr. Josef Ben Levi, is and has been known as one of the most forward thinking theologians in the African Socialogical Paradigm. He answers questions about Post Racialism in America - and he clarifys what that term really means. This is from the viewpoint of A Black Man.
John Meyer is one of my favorite musicians, and I was shocked and put off by his statements. yet Dr. Ben Levi clarifies what we want to step away from, and pretend doesn't exist. it's there and we need to deal with it. that's why he calls it A Power Relationship.
Saturday in Downtown LA; Madness broke out in the face of stupidity. yes that's what I said MADNESS. can you imagine the nutz who thought they could bus in and march all white pride and nazi'd up in the middle of Los Angeles ?
I'm sure you all enjoyed yesterdays' very entertaining dance segment (side-eye); Today we're offering you a quick look at how We Kick Back. and no it does not involve any vogue-ing; uh uhhhh nope.. this is how 50+ year olds celebrate their birthdays. veryyyyyyy quietly... and no chair throwing
It's Friday and We're Starting the Weekend Early - not really but, Have a Brew Tour on Us. Remember NO Drinking and Driving. if you liked the video, leave a comment - it's from our new google phone, yepper uploaded right to google, from the spot. this my friends is an example of on the spot journalism. as you can see for us, Videoblogging has come of age.
This is one of the most beautiful videos featuring a pretty song.
Keyshia has had alot to deal with in her short life. her adopted parents encouraged her to step out and be who she truly felt she was. it was wonderful to see that episode where Keyshia's adopted mother and her birth mother Frankie sit down and talk about Keyshia calling them both Mom..
they talked it out and things were beautiful. Frankie has her own kinda feel and vibe so when you are watching her, it's hard to see her influence on Keyshia. I suspect that some of the early drama in Keyshias' career may have been the part of her that is Frankie.
Now we ask you if You Remember Frankie from Frankie and Neffe ?
You Go Frankie and Elite! Man Down, it was a Straight Code Ten Situation.
(we're still not sure exactly what that means, but it sound good when she says it so we threw it in for a lil Frankiespice) Keyshia gets her spark and fire from her mom Frankie, and we can see that in this video.
We'd also like to send a big shout out to Judge Greg Mathis, of the D.
He's Always Keeps It Real and he makes sure that Frankie knows it too.
Yes Keyshia, it's a beautiful thing to Remember Babygirl,
Detroits’ Cass Corridor community hosts the annual Dally In The Alley
In Detroit Everybody looks forward to the yearly Dally In The Alley, right after Labor Day. This local community based festival has been going strong for more than 32 years; in an alley. yes in an alley where everybody comes to meet, mingle and have a great time.
it’s only held for one day, and that one day is a party unlike any other. it’s grown so large that they now close down the major street that borders the alley; to allow the festival to stretch it’s legs, safely. this means they can have twice the people, vendors, music and fun, fun, fun.
if you graduated from wsu, or live in the area, you make sure to mark this event on your calendar. it’s where you go to catch up with friends you only see once a year, but always make it a point of seeing.
There are families who plan to attend this event yearly, as a group. unbelievable in this day and age that you could attend an event, that’s free. you, your kids, your friends – all find eachother and something interesting to do, and enjoy. that’s really unique especially since it’s a community based event – and it’s free. Personally, I have seen punkers and grannies with tots in tow. yeah..
Here’s A Preview from 2007
If We tell you what’s there – That would destroy the fun
we know folks who go just to look for books, others go to look for records, some go for the art, the jewelry; others want the second hand goods. the workers world bookstore has one of the best booths we visit each trip. they offer the news, tee shirts, books, videos and alot of good common sense talk about what’s Really Going On. they’re also one of my best hook ups for politico tee’s at a cheap deal. usually if you’re a dollar or two short, they still work it out with you. just make sure you go by the store which is about three blocks away after the event and get a book, or spend a few hours volunteering in the shop. they are really a fine buncha foiks. and don’t let the name put you off, because it’s all about Workers, not communism or revolt.
last year they had Obama and Mc Cain folks there to answer questions. yeah that was hillarious as they did the pc mac thing when folks asked them questions. really a show in itself. the political operatives make sure to show their faces and shake a few hands. it’s tradition if you want the vote in university district; you come to the dally and hang with the neighbors.
From the fire-eaters to the strippers, the event showcases the finest in alternative entertainment found anywhere on the planet. you’ll have a booth of people from the michigan medical marijuana coalition set up next to vendors from Senegal selling hemp clothes and belts. the safe sex and hiv awareness folks have the dancefloor so you can come in and hang out while you get free condoms, advice and confidential testing info.
You’ll find delicious homestyle indian food next to american hotdogs and chicken wings. you find freshly squeezed bahamian ginger lemonade and ice cold detroit vernors pop in trash cans at the same booth. the vendors do not discriminate, they want your money.
the folks who put this festival together every year know to expect about 100,000. folks in the 12 hours the festival takes over forest between third ave and second ave. the huge stages are pulled up on trucks; and set up complete with sound systems for the revelers. the sound of all kinds of music reverberates through the entire festival;
Everywhere LIterally, There is Music. All Kinds Of Music and Dance Happening Spontaneously. people just get up and start shaking a leg, when the mood hits.
it’s fun to watch. last year a man on a walker walked over to me as I was bouncing and started doing the bump. yeah the bump, and we wore em out. they were all bumpin by the time the song was done. and just think a man on a walker started it. Only at the Dally baby, only there.
there is also art, lots of art, oh the art. performance art, strippers, kids, drill teams, ballet, hiphop dancers, spirit dancers, fire eaters, acrobats, mimes, break dancers, african dancers and drummers, caribbean dj’s and dancehall winders; if you want to hear it, you can walk around and no doubt it will be there. one year I remember seeing an operetta being performed in the alley, by a full troop complete with acrobats, flames and people throwing money at the performers at the end. it was marvelous. and yes it was free. FREE..
the local rock bands turn out enmasse. many of them formed for the event – yes all-stars that combine just to play one set. the people I’ve seen in that alley for free. you just wouldn’t believe that one year I looked up and there was george clinton on the back porch stage of some one’s house and the funkadelics were throwing down; yes live, for free. unbelievable.
it’s craft, vintage, custom, one of a kind, artesian and ethnic fashion heaven. you have your African, Asian, Arabic and European vendors all set up side by side. The African vendors bring the shoes from hong kong along with the knock off bags and belts. Halima the Henna Lady is always there, with a line waiting for her exquisite designs. the multiple hair braiders are there; the tattoo artists were there last year and apparently they did well, so I’m sure they’ll be there again this year. who knows if the price is right, I just might get that tat finally. they have free face painting, and kids activitys as well.
I mostly look at the goods that are in the alley, set out carefully to get the most attention from those looking for bargains, and old bric a brac. a few years ago I actually did set up a booth and made quite a bit of money selling jewelry and accessories. I made more money on the readings tho. people actually started coming up to the booth asking for readings – even tho there was no indication or signage to indicate that I was doing spiritual readings.
who knows how the word got out, but the line formed and I read for bucks. at the end, I was well compensated. I’m still not sure how they knew but I’m just happy they did. in fact one of my customers started handling the line, and another took over selling the jewelry for me. yes it’s that kind of an environment – a community based affair complete with the village attitude.
this year I’m going with my chair, trusty waterbottle sling, handiwipes, a french shopping bag; and lots of dollar bills. no doubt I will return with treats and treasures of many origins; all just as special as the vendors who provided them. I also plan to sit and listen to the lectures at some of the booths, and the music, oh yes I am going to sit and listen and when the spirit moves me – I’m going to join in to the crowd and shake my groove thang. you can never loose when you work with the stuff I use. LOL. I know,, I know..
this year I’ll be at the Dally Early looking for friends, bargains and enjoying the atmosphere in the alley – and so should you.
Uh huhhhh.. we done tol y'all dont' be rollin up in the D thinking yo shidd won't be fair game for the snatch and grabbers. Offica Ricky was performing at the Summer Jam Concert in the D, and the crowd reached out and touched;
Apparently that long ass rope of "dime-onds" (probably as fake as those lv shades he was outted for), was not as securely affixed to his big ass as he thought. as you can see, some lil chica's made the grab. not even one of the local goon squads; Some Girls.. that had to make lil bugsy's day..
He was lucky enough to be able to grab it back before it disappeared into the cold cold d.. one lucky grab and his shit woulda been on the easside..
Oh Yeah. ask that lil sexythang from chicago, who still wishin for his cartoon character back; from somewhere deep in a gully in the D.
YOUNG BERG GETS CHAIN SNATCHED Within ONE HOUR of Arriving In The D - 2008; oh yeah it's chilly in the D. This happened One Hour before his cancelled performance at 2008 SummerJam. this is the same event where Offica Ricky met his awakening.
Also, we did notice that He Does Not Have on His Glasses. he previously said that he loves his signature "confirmed fake" shades so much that he "even has sex in them". well I guess he dont' get his chain snatched in em. it's amazing the things that happen to starz in the D.. Uh Huhh
Well this lil nawlins one trick pony, NEVER I repeat EVER rolls into the D; WITHOUT a Full Security Patrol; including POLICE, Private Former Mosad Armed Body Guards; and he is OFF and ON The Bus INSIDE The Venue - or he doesn't perform.
He takes NO Chances In The D; since the Trick Daddy/Trick Trick incident a few years ago. he has nothing but Frienemies here, and he knows it.
he used to think he could roll up through here in a hummer till he found out that the cripple and bloody are still merckin up in the Gullies of the D.
he knows better than to come up in the D thinking he can Pop His Collar. Uhhh Yeah Pimp, we gotcha clearasil.. in a lil small tube incase you get fidigity.
So is Nivea pro-creating with the Troll ?
lets pray that it's only a rumor. she's just too cute to step back in the dna chain with her first baby.. and to think he's touching her without a protective covering. OHN ! somebody call the CDC Quick.
SMDH at TPain Again.. Why, Just Why Damn it ? The chain is 10lbs, 197 karats and cost him a cool $410.000.
for this ? he needs his ass beat with a vocoder.
Tonite T-Pain recruited snowgame for his trick, with Taylor Swift. this was hillarious and well may be his crossover key to c&w. hopefully he'll leave the BigAssChain and just use the Vocoder. yeah right..
Our very own "Beezy" from the Four Twenty Times on Tumblr will be there taking in all the action; and of course the winners cup on Saturday Nite.
