9/11 Memories Revisited
This is the blog post I wrote on 9/14/01.
FRIDAY 9/14
I’m sorry for the long long long long delay for an update but I was on vacation for the first week of September and decided to take a vacation from cyber-living. Also, my laptop had to go into the shop and most of my stuff I do for this site is on my computer on work (I need to fix that lest I get fired on the fly)…and then when I came back, my first priority was to do this but Lou S. Cypher was up my ass like an OZ inmate…and then Tuesday happened.
There’s a lot to talk about… Continue reading
Obama Signs His First Bill Into Law
President Obama signed his first bill into law on Thursday, approving the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, a law named for Ms. Ledbetter, fourth from left, an Alabama woman who at the end of a 19-year career as a supervisor in a tire factory complained that she had been paid less than men.
My Song For Today
Yes…We Did
True
I’m Glad Someone Finally Said….
“I’m also troubled by, not what Sen. McCain says, but what members of the party say, and it is permitted to be said such things as: “Well, you know that Mr. Obama is a Muslim.” Well, the correct answer is: he is not a Muslim. He’s a Christian. He’s always been a Christian.
But the really right answer is: What if he is? Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country? The answer is: No, that’s not America. Is there something wrong with some 7-year-old Muslim-American kid believing he or she can be President?
Yet I have heard senior members of my own party drop the suggestion: he’s a Muslim, and he might be associated with terrorists. This is not the way we should be doing it in America.”
He’s Back!
Tell Us How You Really Feel
My favorite aspect of the Obama campaign is the racism.
I know that seems silly but I appreciate all those folks who are just being honest about how they feel about Blacks and Muslims.
All this open racism is refreshing.
Here are some samples:
- Racist Ohioan Mike Lunsford Hangs Obama Effigy from Noose in Tree
- Inland GOP mailing depicts Obama’s face on food stamp
- Obama Monkey At A Palin Rally
- The McCain-Palin Mob
- The Sidewalk to Nowhere, McCain Supporters in Bethlehem, PA
- Misconceptions of Obama fuel Republican campaign
So everyone who thinks the country is so different because a mixed man is running for president and may win, keep thinking.
Why I Still Think Obama Might Lose
Because this is still America, beautifully imperfect.
