POPSVeep Debate Moderator Writing Book on Obama Yes, it is going to be that fawning. Ifill profiles” three other prominent (liberal) politicians on their success. Note I said liberal. Aside from token mentions of Colin Powell, the excludes Codi Rice, Clarence Thomas, j. C. Watts, Michael Steele Alan Keyes, and other prominent conservatives. The book focuses on how African-Americans on the political left have benefited from the civil rights movement. As near as I can tell that translates to celebrating a presidential candidate who is the product of affirmative action while dismissing African-Americans on the political right as…what? Sell outs? Anyway, the media does not even make a pretense of non-bias, do they? If you think this should not stand, e-mail: Janet H. Brown, Executive Director of the Debates Commission: jb@debates.org and let her know. I did. YouTube vid :49

POPSThou art that--Alan Watts (thanks to Cathy E. in LJ...Watts continues: If you go out at night and look at the stars you will realize that they are millions and millions and billions of miles away - vast configurations out in space!

Mixed in his barrage of blame and support for hate was nothing new. The press describes this as a speech dignifying racial harmony? The call for racial harmony is empty when made with utter contempt for the feelings of all Americans while showing your support for a racist preacher with an ideology founded on racism called Black Liberation Theology. There are those speaking out. They have been speaking out for decades wihtout appealing to failure, blame, pity, and excuse-making. We should not forget them.

POPS"We didn't know what we ought to Say" - Alan Watts i admit i don't really know this man. as famous or not as he is. yet, i found some interesting 'code names' in between his saying that seems worthwhile ponder & ultimately (always) relevant. 2 hear & see better the unnecessary concentration we didn't know what we ought to say cause we didn't know what to do that is what we call ourselves the concept of " i " what we do may be a mistake the partial & the whole ...........
