Sierra City, CA — Sierra City is about to get on the map, thanks to President Obama. In what may prove a bonanza for local tourism and a boost for racial harmony, President Obama has just signed an executive memorandum calling for the creation of a Mount Rushmore-like creation on the Sierra Buttes celebrating great African Americans.

The 1500 foot tall rock sculptures will immortalize the greatest black leaders of American history. The public is being asked to vote on which five black leaders should be included for the massive sculpture.

The choices are President Obama, Maya Angelou, Frederick Douglass, Jay-Z, Wilt Chamberlain, Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, Oprah Winfrey, entertainer Al Jolson and America’s first “black” President Bill Clinton. Gladys Knight was also in the running but was excluded when she insisted her sculpture included all the Pips.

1. States rights! State rights! All the land not privetly owned is controlled by the state.....

and the Commie Pinko governor, Jerry Brown has already picked William L. Patterson to adorn the Buttes

4. Washington state's governor, Jay Inslee, elevated him to Favorite Son status and...

he's penciled in to be plastered on Mount Rainier. The thinking these days is to create a Jimi Hendrix silhouette using stubby Rainier beer bottles.

After four years of fundraising and planning, construction on the Jimi Hendrix Park in Seattle is set to begin in April. The Jimi Hendrix Park Foundation and the city of Seattle announced that development company ERRG, Inc. had won the bid to start work on the two-and-a-half acre stretch of land dedicated to the legendary guitarist in the city's Central District adjacent to the Northwest African American Museum, with a completion date penciled in for the fall.

fall for it. Republican heads exploding is one of my favorite sounds.

What is funny is that on this site the same ones keep falling for their stories over and over again.

from their mistakes, they wouldn't keep electing republicans.
