Nelson Mandela, the former South African president, is in London for the week to celebrate his 90th birthday. He is set to attend an outdoor concert that is in his honor in Hyde Park on this coming Friday. The performances will include Queen, Annie Lennox, Leona Lewis, and the Soweto Gospel Choir. Amy Winehouse will also perform if her doctors say that it is okay for her to do so. The proceeds from the concert will go to 46664 charity, which is the AIDS charity named after the number Mandela wore while he was imprisoned by South Africa’s apartheid authorities.

Indiana and North Carolina voted in the democratic primaries on May 6th. Obama won North Carolina and Hillary Clinton won Indiana. This basically means game over for Hillary but it looks like she is going to press on anyway.

She was the only female running in the race. She poured every ounce of her being into this race - running her heart out. But, alas, she came in second. She finished with head held high, but she was quite injured and subsequently euthanized on the track.

In the local events of the past several months to a year - or so it seems, I have begun to realize that people are more affected than I ever thought. The debates between political runners is down right rude and I can't see anything good coming out of this. Obama only gets young people because he has celebrities putting money in his pocket and using it as an advance for themselves in their careers. His entire "show" as a leader has been self-serving and underhanded. Asking him questions only gets run-around answers. Why won't he pledge allegiance to the United States, wear a U.S. flag, or put his hand on a Bible? Will we ever get real answers, or will it be too late before someone wakes up and really sees what is going on? I hope it doesn't get as far as the White House to find out we have an evil dictoral president. This man, well let's just say my gut doesn't trust him one bit.

I am getting a bit tired of this election season. I have heard all of the wrangling and have listened to Obama say "ummm" and "uhhhhh" enough that I have realized he and Bush really do have something in common.

Obama is having a hard time explaining his involvement in a church where the preacher has been notoriously preaching hate against the white community.

These comments are not new to the black community or the white community. Both races have been guilty of preaching such dogma and hate. The difference here is that Obama is running for the highest office in the world, the President of the United States of America. For Obama to claim that he had no knowledge of Reverend Wright’s speaking of such things is ridiculous. He attended this church for over 20 years. His children were taught by this preacher and he and his wife were married by this preacher. To claim now that he had “no knowledge” of this offensive language is obviously misleading.

All aboard. The Barack Obama Train now leaving reality and arriving in la la land November 2008 (maybe). People all over the U.S. are getting on the Obama Train. But the question is: do you know where you are heading. And the answer is NO.

Last nights debate could have been an eye opener for many and may be a turning point in this election. There has been much ado about Race and Racist issues being brought forward in this election. Last night's battle stayed true to that order.

Readers, take note! Where I am at, it's Wednesday, September 27, 2006. It's "hump day" ! I think I'll review some of my recent thoughts.
This first piece, I wrote, as Bush was going to Iraq to celebrate the new Iraqi government, whose installment was highly Americanized.

I'm not really a person that indulges in many vices. I tend to use a little too much hair dye, and I love shoes, purses, jewelry, and fashion. I do drive a little too fast, but I try to keep it less than 10 over (which actually makes me slower than most people on the road). And my music is a little too loud sometimes. But for your typical vices, I am a boring person.

Let this serve as my confession. I had a drink about 6 months ago. I last smoked about 4 years ago, and even then, it was plain tobacco. I don't really sit around and look at porn on a regular basis. And I really don't go in for gambling.

I was watching the news tonight and I saw a story about Hillary Clinton asking Oprah to be her running mate for the 2008 election. Then I turn on this show called Scarborogh Country and they're debating it! What do you think of this?
According to SC, Oprah actually could pull in tons of votes because she is so popular. People really do trust her and she has so much control of the media.

I just came over from another site, where the feature of the day is a gentleman who is telling the saga of his extramarital affair. No I won't. You'll have to look this one up for yourselves. I'm sure a quick search will give you any number of examples from which to choose. And, in case you couldn't tell, I'm not terribly happy about this.

What, am I a red state reactionary? Please. (Am I the only one to see the irony in the use of the color red for states adhering to Bushism?) Am I a prude? Possibly, but I don't really feel like one. My Puritan forebears (mother's side) would have had my God-forsaken carcass rotting in the stocks long ago.

Last night I attended a program put on by the fifth grade at my daughter’s school called, “Hats Off to America.�? She performed a solo of “God Bless America.�? Yes, in her school, they are still using the word God. This doesn’t bother me. Whatever.
