Didn't We Fight a War Over This?

Read in a "Director's Notes" from a local production of "Ragtime:"

"In this machine-aged world of richness and technological advances, we are still surrounded by our legacy of slavery and social injustice..."

I'm not sure where this director lives...well, I do but that's beside the point...but I am not surrounded by "our legacy of slavery." Honest Abe took care of that from war standpoint and Congress took care of slavery with an amendment to the Constitution. Slavery and its legacy have been abolished in this country...rightfully so. This heinous, abomination of humanity was rectified over 125 years ago.

I THought Smoking Was Bad?

Finally, a photo I can believe in...

Who Should be Tough?

So, PBO tells Washingtonians that they need to be tougher...Is that Rush I hear cackling?

Something Good from NPR?

Surprise, surprise!

While Juan Williams is part of the NPR crowd…which makes me wretch…I usually see him when he is on one of the various radio shows I listen to daily (Boortz, Ingraham, Crowley and Rush, of course). Throughout the election process, I found him to be one of the few who actually questioned PBO (President Barack Obama for those of you in Carter Lake) and was searching for genuine honest answers. Of course, he never received them but I applaud him for asking. This article is one for the masses where he hits the mark dead spot on.

I would further opine that it matters not whether our president is black, white, green orange or purple. The color of a man’s skin is NOT what should be debated…and is not what I will debate or discuss. It is irrelevant. Am I naïve enough to think that racism does not exist? No. Do I believe that we (the media and the usual race suspects, Jackson, Sharpton, et al) perpetuate the problem? Absolutely. Adding the phrase “African-American” to a story or report is superfluous. Kind of like putting a “D” or “R” behind an elected official. Let’s stop doing that, report the facts and leave the mind making to the reader or listener. We’re pretty smart.

They Can Dish it Out...

Raining on PBO's Parade

I thought Europe was going to like us now? Guess not.

Unfortunately, he will be demonized as an "old fart" who is not in sync with the workings of a modern world.

I'll bet he doesn'teven know who Ryan Seacrest is.
