DISQUS

10 - R.: The well kept secret that every body knows is that R is and alway has been a pedophile. Why the Chicago DA's office didn't build a case 'beyond a shadow of a doubt' is truly beyond me. The case they didn't have - not the verdict - is truly beyond me!

9 - Attacks on Michelle: What's happening to Michelle is evidence that America really doesn't know the nature of a Black Woman. They better recognize! Barack has tried to warn folks that they better leave her alone. But in that warning, these folks think that if they don't he'll go on the attack. I think not! He's trying to warn them against the tongue-lashing that will be received from Michelle. Hey! she's trying to be cool...but I suggest they leave her alone before she has an "OH HELL NO" moment and commences to taking off the earrings!

8 - Tiger: The best...simply the best! That's all I go to say about that!

7 - No Air: This song...Flavor of Love... What can I say! :lol:

6 - Don’t Fight It: I took Celtics in 5 when the series started! Maybe next year Kobe!

5 - The HRC Women: Wait till McCain puts their a$$es to work in at Micky-D's at below minimum wage with no health care and they see their tax dollars going to Iraq and their right to privacy flushed down the toilet - then they'll wish that they would have voted for "an inadequate Black man" (in the words of Harriet Christian). These women - the lot of them - are simply STUCK ON STUPID with Bartoshevich leading the pack!

4 - John McCain? I think he's a "Manchurian Candidate". There! I've said it! Been trying not to since he's a war hero. But, I ask you - where are the other soldiers who were captured in that POW camp? Was he the only one? I'm just asking...just saying...

3 - Floods In Iowa: "There's flooding in Iowa?" President Bush answered while exchanging his dollars for Euros during his trip to Paris.

2 - Don’t Sleep: I like JT! and Flavor of Love, too! :lol:

1 - R.I.P. Tim: Yes, R.I.P! He was genuine and sincere. Sunday mornings will not be the same... I didn't realize until this weekend that he was so loved and respected in the journalistic world or that he was truly a mentor. I will certainly miss him.

We have no control over the day our journey begins or the day our journey will end. We only have control what we do and the paths we take during this journey. I pray that during my journey, I leave the pile higher than I found it for those who will come after.

What a great post, Marvalus. R. Kelly's verdict was ridiculous, but what can you do when a witness won't testify? I personally believe her and her family were paid off. And when you don't have anything on the candidate, let's attack the family. I think the attacks on Michelle are going to backfire in a great way. And let's hope the Celtics put it away tonight! I haven't been a Lakers fan in awhile anyway. As far as HRC supporters, I think that once those hard feelings subside a little bit and they realize that McCain just wants to do what's worse for this country and for women (allowing the S.C. to repeal Roe v. Wade would be disastrous and dangerous for women across the country), they'll come around (there are more harsh things I'd like to say regarding their support for him because of a grudge, but I'll refrain right now). And finally, I watched the tribute to Tim Russert this morning. I'm not much of a crier. I tried to hold it in. I cried a little at the end. He touched so many lives for so long, and to hear such an endearing tribute was like, Wow. We sometimes say "It was his time to go. It was her time to go." I just can't get with that mindset right now. I'm not going to speculate on his health and all. I just think his departure was premature.

Thank you, Marvalus, for a great post, and allowing us to reflect on important issues. I appreciate your writing, because you are so incredibly thoughtful, and get us thinking intelligently about important issues in our world. I'm not trying to suck up; I just look forward to coming to see what you've written about daily. I was especially looking forward to what you were going to say about Tim. Thank you again.

McCain can't use a computer? Now, this isn't something to be taken lightly.

@SjP - The secret is that it is no secret; people all over Chicago can attest to him driving around, scouting for these young chicks...I've been done for a while now with him; I think it is criminal that people continue to make excuses for his sick ass...

@KWiz - Hey K! I know in my heart that the young lady in the tape with R. and her family were paid off...There will be some who will fall prey to the attacks on Michelle; then there are the smart people who will recognize the game and do what is right for the country...

I watched MTP this morning, and like I expected, I cried deep tears. I did almost make it until the end, but when Tom Brokaw choked up, I lost it...and then when they showed him doing his regular sign-off, I lost it again...I can't even imagine who can sit in that chair and serve it up like he did...

@Urban Thought - I think he is glued together at the seams...

" recognized that the boy (Justin, that is) can sing."

I like him a hell of a lot more than that sissy Robin Thicke.

This reminds me were, are the "Questions" those were my favorite posts by you.

@Clnmike - I thought of you when I did this...I knew how much you liked the Questions...
