1980s semi-rock stars, is there anything they don't know?

Um . . . Who is Cyndi Lauper? I feel as if I once knew, but didn’t care enough to hang on to the knowledge.

One of her albums was called “She’s So Unusual”.I think that could be categorized as “understatement”.

Obama has used up political capital on a group that was going to vote for him no matter what, at the expense of the independent voters.

She had a song “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” in the 1980s that remains in consideration for the most annoying song ever recorded.

I'd rather not hear her sing either.

Many people are wondering why the Obama is doing this and I have my own theory as to why. First off it is not Obama who is orchestrating this but it is the democrat party doing so. For the first time in history the demcorats have given America a black President. Lest we forget that the demcorats are the party of the KKK. My theory is that the democrats are seeking to regain control of the civil rights issue and to control it. What is not pointed out ever (by anyone) but is amazing when looked at within a historic perspective is that we are about to have the party of the KKK, who fought against civil rights, now redefine the meaning of civil rights in America.

They want to do it now while America has a black President for two reasons; a.) it gives them cover against their past history by letting them claim they are not racist because they elected a black man President, and b.) being that they lost the civil rights issue in relation to the rights of black Americans it is a symbolic victory for them to redefine ‘civil rights’ and regain control over the issue with a black man leading their party.

Why is it never discussed as to how this issue will redefine ‘civil rights’? Is precedent being set for a person’s sexual behavior to possibly be as important (or more important?) as their race or gender? If more forms of sexual behavior or sexual identification become recoginized as protected classes then how do all these different protected classes weigh against eachother? Is being homosexual more important then being black?

It amazes me that the party of the KKK is possibly near accomplishing the complete reconfiguration of the meaning of civil rights and no one even points out that fact.

I have seen polls where blacks are stronger opponents of gay marriage than whites including one in the last few days, perhaps conducted by USA Today. Maybe 2-to-3 years ago, I heard Hannity's radio show and he had a proponent of LGBT issues who then compared the issue to discrimination of blacks of prior years. The next call was a black person who blasted her for such a statement.

LOL! Thank the Lord that we've got a state run "media" to keep us updated about what the celebrities are thinking.

I’m so proud that Cyndi is so proud to be a proud American. I wonder if she’s having fun yet.

Nah. "Oh Mickey" by Toni Basil (same era) has that particular title sewn up and nailed down.

Recently, I was in a pharmacy and heard an extended version of “I Will Survive.” I released a very audible “Does this song ever end?”

Nope, "Bette Davis Eyes" takes that title, not even close.
