WONDERING?
If Obama had been likened more to Malcolm X than to Dr. King, would he have gotten elected President of the US? HELL NO!
MALCOLM X
Since Enon's church picnic was rained out, my crew is coming here. I'm watching Malcolm X on WHYY as I'm preparing some food (on the menu...bbq chicken wings. beef ribs, fresh string beans and red potatoes, pasta salad w/broccolli, all colored peppers and carrots, potatoe salad, deviled eggs and fruit salad. and oh yeah...homemade sangria since its at my place!)
This is the movie Denzel should have won the oscar for. My mom used to have this joke that he played that part so well that when they show clips of the real Malcolm X she wondered who he was.. WHERE ARE OUR 10,000 BLACK MEN?
The best part of the movies is when Malcom realizes that he put too much faith in the man/messenger (Elijah Muhammad) and knows that God or Allah or whatever you call your creator IS The Real Answer.
On of my mom's favorite quotes comes to mind:
THE MORE THINGS CHANGE, THE MORE THEY STAY THE SAME.
Is this really 2009 or am I in a time warp?

MICHAEL VICK BROUGHT IN A NEW EAGLES FAN
Me!
I am totally not a football fan, but I do love a good Superbowl party. I will watch the Eagles'vs the Cowboys games as well.
Even though I'm not really a fan, I do follow the news and am not at all surprised that he signed on with the Eagles. I kinda thought he would when a few weeks ago when they were considering allowing him to play in the league again, Andy Reid said then that "We'd take him".
I think that as a result of the problems that his son's recently had with the law, Andy Reid has developed a sense of compassion and learned that everyone deserves a second chance.
Interestingly enough, in my opinion, a lot of naysayers are the same ones who can't wait until hunting season comes around so that they can go shoot some innocent animals.
This whole thing with Mr. Vick has bothered me from the beginning. When Art Fennel read my response to a question he asked on his show one time, I was so excited! Did anybody see it? Anyway what I said then, I still say now...This is nonsense and news that you shouldn't be wasting your time and talent on. It is ridiculous that this man was stripped of his job AND sent to prison. He should do some community service at a dog resue place or something and call it a day.
CONGRATULATIONS MICHAEL VICK!!! TAKE US TO THE SUPERBOWL MAN!

On a NINA SIMONE trip today
Ok. So today I am on a Nina Simone trip. I just was watching CANVAS on WHYY and they showed a musical Jazz tribute to Father Paul Washington...then I pulled out my Nina Simone cds. As the sun started coming out, I put on "Here comes the Sun".
One of my favorite childhoods songs is "The Little Brown Girl" which isn't on any of the cds that I have, but thanks to this new modern technology I found it on UTube! If you care to listen...here it is.

Leader or Opportunist
There's a thin line between the two.
The more I look at most of our so-called leaders...the more I think about it...they aren't really leaders at all. They are but opportunists who say and do whatever is necessary to move them to the next level.
The thin line can easily disappear and one can become confused as to whether they are a leader or just an opportunist posing as a leader.
I guess that's called a merger. That's the way business is done.
