True Blood newlyweds pre-Emmy Bash party by Suzannah B. Troy
Hey all you True Blood fans, first the newlyweds Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer showed up for a pre-Emmy bash and the most adorable photo and dish on the hot couple and other celebs is covered by Pop Watch on EW.com
I am looking forward to tomorrow night!!! How about you? Here is a clip from HBO. It is superb, fantastic, beyond thrilling and very, very short so here is the link! It is Eric confronting Russell!!!!!!
The back drop is a painting I wish I could get a closer look at and in a very unusual quiet why the clip made me think of Westerns I used to watch as a little girl when I had a crush on John Wayne. Eric reminds me of a very slender John Wayne but this scene has an odd elegance and beauty packed to the brim with tension! Is tomorrow night going to get very bloody?
I watched several times already in anticipation. I even check TV guide listings to make sure True Blood is on tomorrow. You might want to check out that link if you haven't. The page has all kind of fun True Blood references including an update on the actress Lois Smith who played Sookie and Jason's Granny. Check it out. Enjoy. I will meet you back here tomorrow night after True Blood.
Fangs away!
best,

American Indians ask for restraining order against NY State By Suzannah B. Troy
The Seneca Tribe has asked for a restraining order against the State of New York thrusting a cigarette tax against American Indians selling cigarettes on the reservation to non-reservation residences. Indian Country Today reports "Seneca: Cigarette Tax bill is a throwback to "termination era'.
Do not confuse this with the bill the State of New York has passed making buying cigarettes more expense than heroin which I am told sells on the streets of NY for eight dollars.
I have posted on many blogs and made a YouTube about how I believe the taxing of the American Indians economic racism and you can read my explainations about why below including economics 101: The Native American Indians do not have the economic opportunities Americans have because they are on the reservation as well as the question why should the American Indians be subject to a tax to close a massive budget deficit that they have nothing to do with and hasn't our government abused, exploited and greatly harmed the American Indians enough already.
Here is the link to The New York Post article "Indians' cig suit to drag" I came across which states, "A federal judge is delaying a decision on the Seneca Indian Nation's request for a restraining order to block NY from imposing steep new taxes sold on cigarettes sold on Indian Reservations." The NY Post reprinted this from AP.
You can read more on my blog www.suzannahbtroy.blogspot.com about how I write President Obama, read what I wrote him and see the YouTube I made calling the mayor and governor out on what I believe is economic racism. By the way, to date mayor Blooomberg has not apologized for his "cowboy -- Indian" comment which was not funny. Listen to my YouTube about what I have to say about Paterson and Albany clowns who have not yet balanced the massive budget deficit and again I ask why do the American Indians have to pay for what in my opinion an economic crisis do to corruption, stupidity and greed in State and City government. Watch the YouTube for more of my insights on this wrongful action by the governor and mayor Bloomberg. Here is my original posting which is important to check out as well.
President Obama, Stop economic racism in NY against American Indians! by Suzannah B. Troy
You can email President Obama and it is a lot easier than emailing our supposedly techno savy mayor Mike Bloomberg's. I have also written President Obama via snail mail about NYU and you can read about that as well and I will include the YouTube of me reading the letter as well.
Of course there is a word count so first read my response to The New York Daily News editorial in today's paper.
Dear President Obama:
NY's economy is spiraling downward and I believe it is from corruption and poor leadership but I am asking you to address economic racism by mayor Mike Bloomberg and gov. Dave Paterson against the Seneca American Indians!

It is pure economic racism!
They live on a reservation and they do not have the economic opportunities that Americans have and people use the word casinos like a racist to rationalize not making good and honoring Native Americans but continue oppression and also demonization of Native Americans.
Please confront this racism alive and well in NY!!!!!!!
I also wrote you asking you to pressure NYU to give us community outreach resource centers in every mega dorm where they use the term community facility to bust thru zoning yet exclude and displace community members. They were be senior centers, free computers, etc and college kids would see and get involved in the harsh fact people are struggling to live in the communities
Why should American Indians pay a tax because Albany and City Hall are corrupt and inept which is why we are in this? economic crisis? Haven't the American Indians paid enough in way too many ways for government corruption? Why doesn't Paterson either resign and spend time with his defense attorneys or find away to get Albany clowns to balance the budget which was due April 1st, 2010? Bloomberg and Paterson need to back off and apologize to the Seneca Tribe for economic racism! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQghu8oVBY0 I have written President Obama asking him to speak up against racism here in NY against American Indians starting with Mike Bloomberg and Paterson's move is economic racism.
