Post Turtle
Dedicated to the memory of Sean Bell and Michael Donald...Respect... ...VOTE...Fight, Fight the Power, You've GOTTA Fight the Powers That Be! (Thanks, Isley Brothers and Public Enemy)
James, from N.C. sent this to me, I think it is so funny, so I had just had to share. I hope you like it.
Post Turtle
While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher, who's hand was caught in the gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Palin and her bid.
The old rancher said, 'Well, ya know, Palin is a 'Post Turtle''.
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post turtle' was.
The old rancher said, 'When you're driving down a country road you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'post turtle'.
The old rancher saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain. 'You know she didn't get up there by herself, she doesn't belong up there, and she doesn't know what to do while she's up there, and you just wonder what kind of dummy put her up there to begin with'.

As soon as I can transfer the images, you will be delighted to see President Obama and The First Family along with those who are dedicated to making it happen. He is a man who is worth having our children aspire to emulate. The qualities he demonstrates on a daily basis makes me proud to support him. If pictures are worth a thousand words, than this is a 26 volume encyclopedia. My favorite is the shot with his feet on his desk. It SHOWS us WHO HE REALLY IS! I love him, I love him, I LOVE HIM!

I will post it as a reminder to those who think it is not their obligation to vote. You and I have every reason to not only vote, but, to take someone else to the poll with us. I can hardly wait until the 4th. Too bad we can't vote early AND vote often. My one vote will make a difference and so will yours. Unfortunately, I am unable to post the pic. If you have my email address, and I haven't sent it to you, email me and I will forward it to you ASAP.

I guess we are never satisfied.

Can we take it a little a time, please? I am just not ready to break out the muk-luks and parka yet LOL. Maybe it was the chill I got when I read how much money Sarah Palin and her family's wardrobe cost the RNC. I think we've got us a scandal in the hopper. Whaddaya think? Talk about it while I go make a mug of cinnamon apple tea.

Well, the class is being broken-up and redistributed due to low registration. We have already bonded and become a family; now, we are being torn apart. My co-workers' faces were so sad and their eyes were so red from crying until my own heart was breaking every time I looked at them. We knew this space was not ours, but it was home for 6 hours and 57 minutes every day. Our room was personalized and the children felt ownership. Having to take down all of our work and leave the walls bare, made me feel empty inside. Yes, we are fortunate that no one was excessed, however, we had such wonderful trips planned and many wonderful adventures for our class to experience. My prayer is that wherever they go, someone realizes each one is truly magnifcent in his or her own right.

How rude to continuously interrupt Senator Obama. And the little girl from 7th Grade behavior of rolling his eyes, gimme a break! Did he think he was in the school yard or something? As per his norm, Senator Obama was as cool as a cucumber. Why was Senator McCain writing at hello? What was there to write about at hello?...Seriously, tho...c'mon. The constant pouting was such not a good look. Hey Beege, if you're out there, Happy Birthday to ya, miss ya,. Welcome aboard, Dirk. Feel free to comment.

Why do I feel Senator McCain and the McCainites will try to bait Senator Obama and make him lose his focus? Of course, it won't happen because he can't be shaken or stirred, but I have such a feeling that because Senator McCain is so desperate, he is willing to pull out all of the stops and be completely dirty. As we know tho, the truth will set you free and the truth is, we are 20 days away from CHANGE we can BELIEVE in.

The Last Lynching
Dedicated to the memory of Sean Bell and Michael Donald...Respect... ...VOTE...Fight, Fight the Power, You've GOTTA Fight the Powers That Be! (Thanks, Isley Brothers and Public Enemy)
Last night, Ted Koppel hosted "The Last Lynching," on Discovery. I was educated by watching this program and I was amazed to find out the last person who was lynched in America was lynched in Alabama in 1981. I was pregnant with my own son then and thought we'd been long past the days of lynching in America. My posts are not only dedicated to the memory of Sean Bell, but I have now included Michael Donald, because, really, we should NOT forget. We are living in times where hatred is covert and you would never know some of the folk who harbor hatred in their hearts. Times like this require us to pray AND to BE AWARE. Get to know what local meetings are being held in your community. Find out who is attending and listen to what they are discussing. The only way not to repeat that history is to recognize the behavior and avert it. Become active and stay active. As Rev. says so often, it must be SUSTAINED. Be about it and stay about it.

Hey, Thanks for the mention today, Star. I hope you take a look and make a comment on what you see or whatever is on your mind. We as a people with a voice, and that means all of us, should take every opportunity to be heard. We've got to let ourselves be heard. Someone who is in the midst of thinking, "No one else knows what I am feeling," can keep it together when they see or hear a word that is a vote of confidence or a hug of assurance, at a time when it is needed most. Take off the mask and let down your guard so that you can be strength to someone who is feeling weak. One day,it will be your turn.

What Is Really Going On?
Dedicated to the memory of Sean Bell...Respect... ...VOTE...Fight, Fight the Power, You've GOTTA Fight the Powers That Be! (Thanks, Isley Brothers and Public Enemy)
As I watched CNN early this morning, I saw President Bush begin his message to the nation at 7:55 am. It was scheduled for 8:05. Why did it start and end before it was even supposed to start? Very brief, indeed. A few hours later, I heard North Korea is no longer on our list of terrorist countries. I thought they were considered by us to be one of the most hated countries on the global unisphere, what happened? Did we blink? Did they stutter? I hope it works out for worldwide peace. We sure can't keep on the same path we've been travelling on. What do you think is really going on?

Words From Donna Brazile
Dedicated to the memory of Sean Bell...Respect... ...VOTE...Fight, Fight the Power, You've GOTTA Fight the Powers That Be! (Thanks, Isley Brothers and Public Enemy)
I heard a clip on Michael Baisden's show, this week. He played it a few times, and each time, I was more impressed with Donna Brazille's take on this year's nominee for the Democratic Party. She really hit the nail right on the head. The description of Barack Obama's zygote beginnings of life in the womb of a White woman, as a Bi-Racial Human Being, to his being raised by his Caucasian grandparents, maintaining grades that would send him to Harvard and Columbia, in no way could earn him an "uppity" moniker as has been attributed to someone who had to make and find a way out of a different upbringing than many of us have experienced. Uppity, by no means, reaching up to achieve the best life possible and reaching out to others, in no way makes Senator Obama uppity. It makes him a determined, hard-working and sensitive individual who has his finger on the pulse of what our country is in the midst of living through. In some ways, he is nothing like many of us and in other ways he is just like many of us. Who hasn't had to strive under difficult circumstances and still keep their wits about themselves and keep their eyes on the prize? I do it every day and I'm sure most of you do it, too. We are more alike than not. For the CHANGE America needs, I think Barack Obama is the man to do it. He is MY CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Well Now, Isn't THAT Special
Dedicated to the memory of Sean Bell...Respect... ...VOTE...Fight, Fight the Power, You've GOTTA Fight the Powers That Be! (Thanks, Isley Brothers and Public Enemy)
Well.. at least I can say, I think he tried. Except for making a reference to Senator Obama, while not calling him by his name and instead calling him, "THAT ONE," I think Senator McCain tried his very best. It fell short and was not good enough, to be elected president, but his performance was a far cry better this go 'round than the last debate. Each senator spoke his talking points and answered according to his frame of reference. I do believe this is the first time I heard Senator McCain mention the Middle Class. Finally, he has heard the news...now, if he could just get Gov. Palin to read something other than "Outdoor Fisherman" or "Moose on the Loose." Just one New York Times article could kind of clue her in, even if maybe just a little bit. I am happy Senator Obama has coached himself not to say eeer, and aahhm so much. He certainly sounded like President Obama to me. Make sure you ask everyone in your cypher if they're registered to vote. We just have two days left to register in New York.

Tonight...Round 2...Will there be a change in Senator McCain's demeanor towards Senator Obama, or will he continue being a pompus horse's patoot? I have little faith that he even knows how to play fairly. If you have any doubts, check out the posting I made a few days back, that came from someone who had the unfortunate incidence to be in his company while vacationing. What a pompus... and I don't want to say horse's patoot again. It rhymes with gas, oh yeah, you know what it is. I will try to keep an open mind but I don't guarantee any promises. I just can't wait until the people speak on November 4th.

It is now down to the wire. In New York, everyone who intends to vote on November 4th, must have their registration submitted to the Board of Elections by this coming Friday, October 10th. If for some reason you don't know where to find a form, please go to your local councilmember's office for a form. It would be heartbreaking if you give away your voice and your vote by not registering. This is an historic, yet troubling time in our country's history, We need everyone represented and every vote cast. Be sure your voice is NOT the one that is silenced.

It was fourteen years in the making, and the decision was handed down on the exact anniversary. OJ is going to jail for perhaps the rest of his life. Did he get away with murder or was he the potential victim of a frame-up and his money bought him the finest lawyers in the land to prove his innocence? Most likely, we will never know. I don't think OJ's finest hours will ever be the topic of conversation again. He ruined any chance of that when he wrote his account of the murders in, "If I Did It." Real jackass move, if you ask me. He will forever be spoken about in less than flattering, agitated tones. How could a so-called All-American, Apple Pie eating, Airport Running, Hertz Driving, Acceptable Negro, like OJ, wind up being the most hated man in America? I think he bought his own hype and forgot who he really was. When you allow someone else to define you, you are who you are only until they decide you are no longer needed, and then you are a nobody. Define self for self. I LOVE Imhotep Gary Byrd's opening that features Sweet Honey in the Rock singing the Kwanzaa song. If nothing else, it reminds me of just how magnificent I am in my own right. Not anymore than the next person, but wholeness in myself all by myself. It should be a required teaching of all parents to their children, practiced at all times in their homes, regardless of race, creed, color, ethnicity, or religious affiliation, that we empower our children with the knowledge that they do not have to look outside of themselves to be validated. We MUST teach all children to name self for self. If not, OJ will not be the last brother to go down because he bought the hype. C'mon P.E., let's go: "Don't, Don't, Don't Believe the HYYYYPPEE!!!!!......." YOU are WHO YOU say YOU are! Ya best ta believe it, man!

Better than the OTHER Debate
Dedicated to the memory of Sean Bell...Respect... ...VOTE...Fight, Fight the Power, You've GOTTA Fight the Powers That Be! (Thanks, Isley Brothers and Public Enemy)
Senator Joe Biden and Governor Sarah Palin offered me a warmer, gentler style last night that was a far cry from what we saw from the Presidential Debate. Aside from the fact the timbre of Gov. Palin's voice made me want to go play in four lanes of traffic, she ingratiated herself to the American public when she began by asking Senator Biden, "Hey, can I call you Joe?" It told me she heard the folk on the street respond to Senator McCain's rude demeanor towards Senator Obama. Although I still don't feel she would be a good candidate for leadership of the free world, at least she learned how to speak to the people. Her answers proved she is lacking in many areas, and isn't as well read as she needs to be, but, I found her to be a good balance to the cardboard personality Senator McCain presents. Senator Biden made me feel as if, God forbid, President Obama would be unable to fulfill the term of his elected office, the country would still be in good hands under his leadership. What so you think?
Happy Birthday, Rev. Al!! May you have many more.

Chicago Sun-Times film critic Roger Ebert did not appreciate the nonverbal behavior of Sen. John McCain during Friday's first presidential debate with Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama.
The longtime movie reviewer took personal offense at McCain's body language, particularly the GOP senator's failure to even look at Obama.
The following is Ebert's blog in its entirety:
Guess who's not coming to dinner - by Roger Ebert
I do not like you, John McCain. My feeling has nothing to do with issues. It has to do with common courtesy. During the debate, you refused to look Barack Obama in the eye. Indeed, you refused to look at him at all. Even when the two of you shook hands at the start, you used your eyes only to locate his hand, and then gazed past him as you shook it.
Obama is my guy. If you are rude to him, you are rude to me. If you came to dinner at my house and refused to look at or speak with one of my guests, that would be bad manners and I would be offended. Same thing if I went to your house. During the debate, you were America's guest.
What was your problem? Do you hold this man in such contempt that you cannot bear to gaze upon him? Will you not even speak to him directly?
Do you think he doesn't have the right to be running for President?
Were you angry because after you said you wouldn't attend the debate, he said a President should be able to concern himself with two things at the same time? He was right. The proof is, you were there. Were you angry with him because he called your bluff?
During the debate, Jim Lehrer repeatedly called upon both candidates to speak directly to each other. Obama looked at you. He addressed you as 'John,' which as a fellow senator is his privilege. His body language was open. You stared straight ahead, or at Lehrer, or into space. Your jaw was clinched. You had a tight little smile, or a grimace, or a little shake of your head.
I had to do two things at once while watching the debate. I had to listen to what was being said. And I had to process your rigid and contemptuous behavior. If you were at a wedding and the father of the groom refused to look at or speak to the bride, how would that make you feel? Especially if you were the father of the bride?
You made a TV commercial showing the moments Obama agreed with you.
Everybody knows he did. Did his agreement show honesty, or weakness?
It is significant that you said it proved he was not ready to lead.
What is the better leadership quality: (1) Willingness to listen to your opponent, and keep an open mind? (2) Rigidly ignoring him? Which of the two of you better demonstrated the bipartisan spirit you say you represent? Was there anything he said that you agreed with? Could you have brought yourself to say so?
I'm not the only one who noticed your odd, hostile behavior. Just about everybody did. I'm sure many of your supporters must have sensed the tension. Before the debate, pundits were wondering if you might explode in a display of your famous temper. I think we saw that happen, all right, but it was an implosion. I have instructed my wife to exclude you from any future dinner parties.

Dubey, a friend of my cousin and her husband, who have known Ana for
many years. Ana has a PhD in psychology and has a private practice
in San Francisco. My cousin's husband went to business school with
Ana's husband, who has since started and sold a number of successful
companies. Ana's husband is currently a Managing Director of a
private equity firm in the Bay Area.
Ana and her husband are not political activists and don't have any
personal ax to grind. In fact, in writing this account of her
experience with John McCain, Ana is acting outside of her own
economic self-interest as she and her husband are among the top 3-5%
of our population who would benefit from the McCain tax/economic policies.

MY HOLIDAY WITH JOHN McCAIN
It was just before John McCain's last run at the presidential
nomination in 2000 that my husband and I vacationed in Turtle Island
in Fiji with John McCain, Cindy, and their children, including
Bridget (their adopted Bangladeshi child).
It was not our intention, but it was our misfortune to be in close
quarters with John McCain for almost a week, since Turtle Island has a
small number of bungalows and their focus on communal meals force all
vacationers who are there at the same time to get to know each other
intimately.
He arrived at our first group meal and started reading quotes from a
pile of William Faulkner books with a forest of Post-Its sticking out
of them. As an English Literature major myself, my first thought was
"if he likes this so much, why hasn't he memorized any of this yet?"
I soon realized that McCain actually thought we had come on vacation
to be a volunteer audience for his "readings" which then became a
regular part of each meal. Out of politeness, none of the vacationers
initially protested at this intrusion into their blissful holiday,
but people's buttons definitely got pushed as the readings continued
day after day.
Unfortunately this was not his only contribution to our mealtime
entertainment. He waxed on during one meal about how Indo-Chine women
had the best figures and that our American corn-fed women just
couldn't meet up to this standard. He also made it a point that all
of us should stop Cindy from having dessert as her weight was too
high and made a few comments to Amy, the 25 year old wife of the
honeymooning couple from Nebraska that she should eat less as she
needed to lose weight.
McCain's appreciation of the beauty of Asian women was so great that
David the American economist had to move his Thai wife to the other
side of the table from McCain as McCain kept aggressively flirting
with and touching her.
Needless to say I was irritated at his large ego and his rude
behavior towards his wife and other women, but decided he must have
some redeeming qualities as he had adopted a handicapped child from
Bangladesh. I asked him about this one day, and his response was
shocking: "Oh, that was Cindy's idea - I didn't have anything to do
with it. She just went and adopted this thing without even asking me.
You can't imagine how people stare when I wheel this ugly, black
thing around in a shopping cart in Arizona. No, it wasn't my idea at all."
I actively avoided McCain after that, but unfortunately one day he
engaged me in a political discussion which soon got us on the topic
of the active US bombing of Iraq at that time. I was shocked when he
said, "If I
was in charge, I would nuke Iraq to teach them a lesson."
Given McCain's personal experience with the horrors of war, I had
expected a more balanced point of view. I commented on the tragic
consequences of the nuclear attacks on Japan during WWII -- but no,
he was not to be dissuaded. He went on to say that if it was up to
him he would have dropped many more nuclear bombs on Japan. I rapidly
extricated myself from this conversation as I could tell that his
experience being tortured as a POW didn't seem to have mellowed out
his perspective, but rather had made him more aggressive and vengeful
towards the world.
My final encounter with McCain was on the morning that he was leaving
Turtle Island. Amy and I were happily eating pancakes when McCain
arrived and told Amy that she shouldn't be having pancakes because
she needed to lose weight. Amy burst into tears at this abusive
comment. I felt fiercely protective of Amy and immediately turned to
McCain and told him to leave her alone. He became very angry and
abusive towards me, and said, "Don't you know who I am." I looked him
in the face and said, "Yes, you are the biggest asshole I have ever
met" and headed back to my cabin. I am happy to say that later that
day when I arrived at lunch I was given a standing ovation by all the
guests for having stood up to McCain's bullying.
Although I have shared my McCain story informally with friends, this
is the first time I am making this public. I almost did so in 2000,
when McCain first announced his bid for the Republican nomination,
but it soon became apparent that George Bush was the shoo-in
candidate and so I did not act then. However, now that there is a
very real possibility that McCain could be elected as our next
president, I feel it is my duty as an American citizen to share this
story. I can't imagine a more scary outcome for America than that
this abusive, aggressive man should lead our nation. I have observed
him in intimate surroundings as he really is, not how the media
portrays him to be. If his attitudes toward women and his treatment
of his own family are even a small indicator of his real personality,
then I shudder to think what will happen to America were he to be
elected as our President.
