The NAACP has accused the Tea Party of racism which it denies. Andrew Breitbart accused the NAACP of racism and said he had proof and he released some of that proof today:

I read yesterday that it was raining in Mazatlan and was directed to this reenactment of a thunder storm:
Turn up the volume!
Another beautiful street of historic buildings:
Those are Ficus trees growing on the street.
Here’s a closer look at the hand painting of the purple and green building in Mazatlan’s historic center:
In this video near the Aroma Spa, where you can have a full body massage for $20 plus tip, you can see buildings that have been remodeled and one in purple and green undergoing new paint:
In the historic section of Mazatlan near Plazula Marchado, the buildings were run down and abandoned. Now developers are reclaiming the properties. They are putting on great colors of paint and remodeling the insides back to their original status with new appliances of course. It’s become a great place to live.

Well, how about that! The three couples, we call ourselves Sei Amici, that golf together and vacation together and share birthdays together for the last 17 years is splitting up. Not splitting up as in divorcing, “I don’t ever want to see you again!” splitting up, but one of the couples left Monday morning at 5:00am for Scottsdale, Arizona where winter days are sunny and one can be warm and play golf year round. They are going to buy a house with a pool for half the price of the one they sold here.
They had a furniture sale and sold off their stuff. They sold the dining room table and chairs with the special fabric that matched the curtains and picked up the color of the walls. They sold their sofas and their BarBQue and exercise equipment. They got rid of the thousands of golf balls found in the water hazards and the mirror used to practice their swiings. They got rid of their stuff.
The second couple is contemplating a move to the Pacific Coast of Mexico and we are contemplating becoming snowbirds. We would love to spend half the year with our toes in the sand and half the year in Portland when the rain stops.
I read recently about a boomer who had an estate sale. What didn’t sell he donated to charity, packed his bags and moved to Mexico. No backward glances, no remorse over the loss of his stuff. Just joy over his new life. Most of the time we put to much emphasis on stuff and I’m shocked at how easily we can jettison all our stuff. George Carlin said it best in his famous routine about stuff:
