        <description><![CDATA[From: What Would Thembi Do? I love hip-hop in the way one loves the last few seasons of a television show after it has already jumped the shark. Sure, it&#8217;s not what it used to be and you&#8217;re a little disappointed in the direction it&#8217;s taken, but&#8230;]]></description>

        <title><![CDATA[You Just Have to Find the Light]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[From: The Examined Life Every now and then I get to a place that I don't like very much. It's dark, empty and very lonely. I've been making visits there for as long as I can remember. My first conscious memory of visiting the dark place was when I was five.

I've been thinking about writing about this place for years. I used to think that I was the only person who visited the dark, empty, lonely place but I eventually learned that it wasn't true. 

Last week I read about&nbsp;Andrew Koenig, a man whom I've never met, but I know him. He was a fellow visitor&nbsp;of the dark place, but he lingered there too long and was unable to leave.

I recall the theme song from M*A*S*H; it had&nbsp;that refrain&nbsp;that hypnotized me: "Suicide is painless; it brings on many changes; and I can take or leave it if I please." I sang that refrain in my head for years. 

The first time I tried to kill myself I was fourteen. I took an overdose of Valium. My dad has been in an accident on his squad car and injured his leg. The d]]></description>

        <title><![CDATA[A Little Less Conversation and A Lot More Action: Join the Virtual March for Health Care Reform]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[From: The Examined Life Oops! This post is not complete. Somehow I lost half of my post! Please come back later.

If you follow me on Facebook, pieces of this post will sound familiar. 

President Obama released his proposed health care reform legislation this week; you may find the complete text as well as highlights and summaries at whitehouse.gov. The hue and cry that President Obama's health care reform proposal doesn't include a public option began immediately following the release of his proposal. The public option has become both the boogeyman and the holy grail of health care reform. 

Loud voices on the progressive left have repeatedly stated that they would rather see no health care reform than have reform without a public option (the holy grail of health care reorm). They've made the inclusion of the public option the litmus test of health care reform legislation. Loud voices on the conservative right,&nbsp;have demonized the public option and are just as&nbsp;vocal in asserting&nbsp;that they will]]></description>

1. I like watching people fight. I won&#8217;t make apologies for my fascination with fisticuffs but I&#8217;m not proud of it either.

        <description><![CDATA[From: The Examined Life I like John Mayer's music and the man can really play a guitar. Unfortunately, he's not so good when it comes to giving interviews. He seems to have&nbsp;two basic topics--sex and race. He touched on both and even mixed the two together in his interview with Playboy magazine.

The two remarks that have put him on the hot seat are:
MAYER: Someone asked me the other day, “What does it feel like now to have a hood pass?” And by the way, it’s sort of a contradiction in terms, because if you really had a hood pass, you could call it a nigger pass. Why are you pulling a punch and calling it a hood pass if you really have a hood pass? But I said, “I can’t really have a hood pass. I’ve never walked into a restaurant, asked for a table and been told, ‘We’re full.’"PLAYBOY: Do black women throw themselves at you?MAYER: I don’t think I open myself to it. My dick is sort of like a white supremacist. I’ve got a Benetton heart and a fuckin’ David Duke cock. I’m going to sta]]></description>

I'll take any excuse to talk about Xscape. Do you understand how much I look(ed) like Latocha Scott, the big girl from the group? I've had a photo of her in place of my Facebook avatar for going on two weeks now and dozens of people have assumed that it's really me and congratulated me on the sexy new glamour shots.

        <description><![CDATA[From: What Would Thembi Do? It's hard to believe that twenty years have passed since Nelson Mandela was freed and the African National Congress decriminalized as an organization, but February 11, 1990 began a new era of multicultural democracy in South Africa. I saw Nelson Mandela speak a few years ago and as inspirational as his talk was I couldn't stop reminding myself that this man had endured twenty-seven years of imprisonment for challenging the unjust racist system of apartheid - while the world watched.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: The Examined Life My friend Jack (Self-Sufficient Steward)posed&nbsp;some questions to me that I've been mulling over for a bit: 

What would happen if Senate Democrats MADE the Republicans actually use the filibuster to kill a decent health care bill? (Perhaps a bill without the pork, but with a public option.) How would the country respond if they saw the Republicans reading the phone book day after day to kill health care reform?I don't think that it would matter. I think that the people who support health care reform would continue to do so and become even more disgusted with the Republican party, and those who oppose health care reform would continue to express their opposition and cheer the Republicans on for protecting them from Obama's plans for advancing socialism.

I wasn't certain of my answer when I read Jack's questions a week ago, but yesterday I read the results of a&nbsp;recent poll&nbsp;that confirmed what I have suspected for some time--how do I say this in a civil fashion--there are a]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: The Examined Life One of the unexpected pleasures of blogging is making new friends. I met Nance Meeker, Mature Landscaping, through&nbsp;a mutual friend,&nbsp;Jack, Self-Sufficient Steward. Recently, Nance, a fellow southerner, proposed that we co-write a blog entry to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Sit-in of the Greensboro Four. The sit-in by four college students at the Woolworth’s lunch counter marked the start of the modern civil rights movement. This is a rather long entry, Nance and I each had a lot to say about how and why the sit-in resonates with each of us. Our voices alternate, weaving our independently written pieces into what I hope is a cohesive whole.


Nance: February 1st marks the 50th anniversary of the Sit-in of The Greensboro Four, an historic event which, due to the media attention it received and the momentum it launched for desegregation, has been called the Dawn of the Modern Civil Rights Movement. My hometown marked the anniversary by opening the International Civil]]></description>

I actually agree with&nbsp;my friend's broader argument&nbsp;that Obama needs to assert authority and take the reins if he is to succesfully move his agenda forward, especially health care reform. However, I fundamentally disagree that democrary is about majority rule.

I think that&nbsp;it is a valid assessment of what&nbsp;Democracy has become, but the truth of what Democracy is intended to do is to make certain that the rights of the few aren't trampled by the many. That was the intent of the founding fathers in their drafting of the consititution. 

This isn't just supposition on my part; it's based on the writings of Jefferson, Franklin, and others on the principles and purposes of government. The founding fathers were well read men, familiar with the theories and principals of government. They certainly had their flaws, but they did not lightly undertake creating a new nation.

        <description><![CDATA[From: The Examined Life I've never been so depressed by the results of a another state's election of someone to the U.S. Senate. Republican Scott Brown defeated Democrat Martha Oakley for the U.S. Senate seat left vacant by the death of Massachussetts Senator Ted Kennedy.&nbsp;Brown ran on his party's platform--he opposed gun control, tax increases, gay marriage, and partial-birth abortion and supported waterboarding to interrogate suspected terrorists.&nbsp;He also&nbsp;promised to be the "41st vote" against the health care reform bill&nbsp;now in Congress. Coakley&nbsp;ran on&nbsp;her party's platform as well--she supported the Democratic health care bill, abortion rights, gay marriage, and climate change legislation with a "cap-and-trade" mechanism. However, she opposed Obama's planned troop increase in Afghanistan.

The one point on which I agree with the commenters following the news story that I just read is that Brown's victory is evidence that a lot of people oppose health care reform or Obama care as]]></description>

I just read Senate Bill 2853,&nbsp;entitled the&nbsp;Bipartisan Task Force for Responsible Fiscal Action. It's also referred to as the Conrad/Gregg&nbsp;Commission bill. By any name, it smells like rotting meat. A fellow blogger, Nance of Mature Landscaping, alerted me to this nasty little piece of work making its way to a Congressional vote.

Bill Content
The bill creates a bi-partisan task force to "to assure the long-term fiscal stability and economic security of the Federal Government of the United States, and to expand future prosperity and growth for all Americans." We all want fiscal stability, so what's wrong with this bill?

It assigns unheard of power to the task force that it creates. The 18 member task force is to review our existing fiscal imbalance, analyze the factors contributing to the imbalance, and propose solutions including legislation. Still doesn't sound like the sky is falli]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: The Examined Life An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.--Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Dr. King&nbsp;was a man of words and his words&nbsp;reveal much that resonates with me. The above quotation is one of my favorites. It expresses what I believe to be at the core of hope for positive change. We are individuals and we are humankind. In the words of John Donne, "the death of any man diminishes me." The Christian Bible states the same concept in terms of being our brother's keeper. Other religions express the same concept of a responsibility to the whole of humanity that transcends individual needs and desires.

Dr. King conditions having a meaningful existence, what he calls "really living," on moving beyond viewing the world only through the lens of individual goals. To really live, we have to move beond a me centered life to a life in which we see ourselves as a part of the whole of humank]]></description>

The cause of her death has not yet been officially reported but the actress, best known for her roles as Rose Holloway on 227 and Olivia on Sesame Street, has been very public about her ongoing battle with breast cancer.

        <description><![CDATA[From: What Would Thembi Do? Lawrence and Jackson, that is.  I&#8217;m still trying to make sense of Michael Jackson&#8217;s four brothers and their new reality show and in doing so have fantasized about the thrashing that Jermaine would receive in a just world. I don&#8217;t mean those old school Joe Jackson beatings, I&#8217;m hoping for something supplemental to punish him for recent offenses. Anyway all of this made me think of one of the funnier gags on Martin. Check it out (and disable the annotations).

Son of Manuel Vazquez and Helen Flannery Vazquez, was good times and fun to all he met. He attended Annunciation on Detroit's east side, graduating high school in 1950, while also taking art classes at Cass Tech. He studied architectural engineering at the University of Detroit, where he first met the woman who would later become his wife, Lois Cahill, and the priest who remained a lifelong friend, Arthur Lovely. He entered the Society of Jesus in 1955 and spent the next twelve years studying and teaching Latin in Milford, OH, West Baden, IN, Cleveland, OH, and Toronto. In 1968 he left the Jesuits to marry Lois, and in 1969 they had their only child, a son named Michael. He continued to teach, first Latin and then English, at Nolan Middle School near Seven Mile Road in Detroit, while advising various student groups and serving as librarian.
