        <title><![CDATA[Trust Women]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[From: TheSkeptikOne As we approach the 37th anniversary of the still controversial Roe v Wade decision by the Supreme Court, giving women, control of their bodies as well as their lives, two recent news stories caught my attention and dramatically reinforced the notion that women still need legal protection from those bent on denying our rights as well as our humanity.  From The Huffington Post comes word of a Superbowl commercial being crafted by Focus on the Family featuring the mother of Tim Tebow, the acclaimed football quarterback  from Florida. You can read the whole story here.     However, the gist of the article says that during the commercial,  Tim's mother will tell the tale of how she got sick while doing missionary work in the Philippines. She was carrying her fifth child. Doctors, according to the story reportedly told  her to get an abortion. She said no, and  later gave birth to the baby who would grow into the acclaimed quarterback that many celebrate today.    Second story, this one  in]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: TheSkeptikOne You know, I don't know which is worse, the daily bombardment of gossipy infotainment that blasts out at us  from the majority of formerly reputable news outlets, or the overly sensationalized-hyperbole laced-sky-is-falling-reporting that has destroyed the rest of what used to be  news in America.Massachusetts chose a new Senator to replace the departed Ted Kennedy. OMG ! HE'S A REPUBLICAN!    “HEALTH CARE REFORM IS DEAD! IT'S THE END OF OBAMA! RUN FOR THE HILLS!”  On and on ad nauseum...except...today is the morning after...and we're still here...  Democrats still have an 18 vote majority in the Senate....Likewise in the House......Healthcare is still on the table and passable..  May take a little more work...but hey...not passing it is way worse than passing it..  And the Republicans still don't have a clue or a plan...except to wreck anything that will benefit Americans...that is their only plan, period.....  And what have we learned..... We have learned that..  America is still]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: TheSkeptikOne What for many will be a very difficult and emotional journey begins tomorrow, January 19th, 2010, at Cincinnati's Underground Railroad Freedom Center."Without Sanctuary," is an exhibit of photographs depicting America's dark and lengthy dance with the devil from 1882 until 1968, when nearly 5000 Americans died at the end of a hangman's noose-lynched and brutalized by their fellow Americans.The exhibit has been touring the country drawing record crowds. It will stay at the Freedom Center until May of this year."Without Sanctuary" sheds light on a very brutal part of American history. It is not the "comfort history" that is routinely taught in schools across America. This exhibit pulls the drape to uncover the remnants of America's Holocaust, that officially lasted from 1619 until 1865 when slaves were officially emancipated.While emancipation gave the newly freed slaves many of the same rights as other citizens, lynching was used to take them back.Winking at a white woman is what many b]]></description>

        <title><![CDATA[What My Mother has Seen on her 80th Birthday]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[From: TheSkeptikOne I can only begin to imagine what my mother has seen and lived through in her now 80 years on this planet. I know some it because of the part that I have lived through
with her, since I am her first and eldest child. I am nearly 60, so we've been together for a very long time. She had me when she was 8 months into her 20th year. I was unplanned. She was unmarried. I don't know how it happened except she used to joke about the back seat of a convertible. My arrival was something else that my
father wouldn't talk about.  He did the right thing and married her seven days before I was born, though.

Justice of the peace. Nothing fancy. Mom did say her mother in law was totally against the marriage. I'm not surprised, my grandmother never liked me either and I was an innocent.

I am blessed with having had two parents all of my life. I wondered many times if they loved each other or if it was duty and me, and then my sisters, that kept them
together. My mom often said it was the later. Yet a]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: TheSkeptikOne Obama's still half steppin'....this time on Haiti...

President Obama did good with his initial response to the Haitian crisis. The 100 million dollars in aid is getting there, and it will get better in days to come.

However, there is still a problem, that&nbsp; I've written about&nbsp; before. The American government has always treated Haiti and immigrants to this country from Haiti as backward step children.  

In the past, and up until the earthquake a couple of days ago.&nbsp; Haitian boat people, those found stowed away,or those trying to swim to America, are routinely scooped up by the Coast Guard and sent back to their island.

Thousands of Haitians who make it to America are locked up awaiting deportation.

Why?

Because Haitian immigrants, unlike Cuban immigrants, don't have protected status in America. A Cuban who decides to leave Cuba and swim to America or boat to America or secretly sprout wings and fly to America, is greeted with open arms by our government as just anoth]]></description>

        <title><![CDATA[Devil, Thy Name is Pat Robertson]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[From: TheSkeptikOne Still talking out the side of his neck. I keep forgetting that Robertson is still alive. He has a habit of misinterpreting scripture to justify and explain his perverted world view of people of color. 

True, he runs missionary schools, allegedly to help people in need. But make no mistake there is not one Christian bone in his body. What he does is for power and money, just like the rest of the masters of the universe except that he tries to hide behind religion.

His barbs are usually directed at women and people of color. His statements about the earthguake and the Haitian people are just an example. He combined folklore, to remind us that he is still alive and just as nasty as ever....

There is really no difference between Pat Robertson and anything that comes out of the Westboro "God hates everybody" Church. Their perversion of religion is the same.

The so called Haitian "pact" is explained here. Check it out.

If you want to refresh yourself about what Robertson said, go here .]]></description>

        <title><![CDATA[Out of the Mouth of Idiots]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[From: TheSkeptikOne Comparing what Harry Reid allegedly said to what Trent Lott said about Strom Thurmond is mixing apples and oranges. Lott was praising a rapist, who got away with sexually assaulting a 16 year old  Black domestic servant at his parents home and got away with it because his parents covered it up and bought off the victim... He reportedly supported the baby born...but never acknowledged her as long as it could possibly bring down his political career, of keeping Blacks in their place...except I guess when he needed sex...

Strom Thurmond is the old poster boy for GOP racial hypocrisy....He should have been in jail not  in  Congress..

Like it or not...Harry Reid spoke the truth....I  don't care how  intelligent or how eloquent a brother is....no matter the number of his post graduate degrees....if he is black as the ace of spades....and talks like Shaft or Biggie or Snoop....or Tupac and is viewed as threatening for some reason...he won't clear local vetting to run for city council..much]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: TheSkeptikOne Reality TV narcissism

Can we please be done with people who think making baby litters takes  some kind of skill and that raising the rugrats is  24/7 entertaining to the rest of us?

Reality TV in general functions with a “crabs in the barrel mentality” powered by a 3 year old's  definition of what makes entertainment....watching people try to destroy or humiliate others is not entertainment..taking somebody down is not fun nor does it feel good....if it did...we all wouldn't bother to hide behind computer screens shunning face to face contact, fearful of rejection..

turn off the TV.....get a real face to face life....think...friends in person...think talking across a dinner table...think wine.....lots and lots of wine.....think sex.. real sex, not simulated or porno playing on a screen.....reach out and touch...contact..

        <title><![CDATA[New Year, New Laws on Ohio Health Care]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[From: TheSkeptikOne &nbsp;With the new year comes new law from the Ohio legislature. Folks with pre existing health conditions will catch something of a break this year if they try to buy health insurance coverage.&nbsp; A new law caps the rates that insurance companies can charge during their open enrollment period to persons with pre existing conditions or chronic illnesses. According to lawmakers more than 52,000 Ohioans will benefit from this change.

And, something for parents, coming in July parents will be able to buy insurance for their kids, as long as they are under the age of 28 from their employer. Old law capped this benefit at age 22.

Even if you still can't get insurance, you will be able to price shop hospitals online. A website has been created to compare prices and procedures and will have 100 different ways to measure the comparison to determine if you really are getting the better deal.&nbsp; Hospital infection and death rates will also be listed.

Bear in mind this will only be for s]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: TheSkeptikOne Been reading and listening to all the hyperventilation going on about this latest attack on an American airplane. In case you've been on Mars for the past weekend, some rich kid from Nigeria decided to martyr himself for Al Qaida by blowing up a Delta jet over Detroit.  He managed  to explode his homemade device, but mainly caused damage to himself and the guys who jumped him. The plane landed safely.20-20 hindsight is kicking in like a mutha with all these pseudo pundits and fake security experts opining about the state of American security or lack there of.  One fool on one network going so far as to demand that Obama go on television and talk about it. What's he gonna say?He's ordered another layer of security checks at the airports and on board planes. President O has also ordered a review of the overall process. His DHS Secretary Napolitano is all over the situation, talking about it. So other than ordering the snipers into Yemen, what's he gonna say?“My fellow Americans, today]]></description>

He is in fact, in the top five on my list of "walking wastes of oxygen, along with Rush, Ann, Michelle and Michelle (Sarah registers like a child on my scale of grownup WWO).They are all uniformly bigoted, thoroughly unpleasant individuals, who masquerade as thinking and intellectual human beings. They are intelligent, however, I question they're human-ness.   Their distorted and bigoted view of the world has corrupted the thinking of  whole segments of the population to the detriment of all.  They don't care about this country or the people in it. Calling them racist is an insult to rednecks.

        <description><![CDATA[From: TheSkeptikOne I never intended to write about Tiger Woods. I have been laughing from day one about this whole situation, especially when word surfaced that he ran out the door,  driving away shoeless, as well as police seeking a  search warrant for a golf cart along with the clubs, that his wife allegedly used.    I have this picture in my head of a  metal breast plated Viking woman, blonde hair flowing in the wind, club held high, driving this golf cart, angrily chasing down her barefoot, Escalade  humping husband as he tried to maneuver down the driveway, singing Wagner's Battle Cry of the Valkyries.  Every day this past week has unveiled a new blonde hottie claiming to have had an affair with the great Tiger Woods. This newest one gets me, though. Just like the others she is a cocktail waitress, who is pursued by the golfer, meets him in the parking lot where he either jumps her bones there or takes her back to his house, and who by her own admission, only cares about the “lust,” doesn't prac]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: TheSkeptikOne Thoughts on Obama's escalation of the Afghan war.The main message from our President last night is that this country is going to be in Afghanistan for a long, long time.  Pundits are worried about Obama setting a deadline to begin bringing the troops home. However the key word here is “begin.” The other part of the message was the “begin” will start if and when the natives can handle the situation on their own.This is the second troop escalation that Obama has authorized. Shortly after taking office he sent in the troops. This second surge will bring troop count to over 100,000. That's way more than the Bush-Cheney cabal thought we needed to win in the first place. Bush-Cheney was wrong on so many levels that I'm not even going to go there.  But  by Obama's reasoning last night, we need to escalate in order to draw down.This Obama reasoning is merely a re-statement of Bushco's  “go shopping” rationale to get us out of the deepening recession.  Obama is now telling us that w]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: TheSkeptikOne Black people- HIV/AIDS is killing our community. It stopped being a gay white man's disease, years ago.  However, from the beginning it was killing Black people. Black women were passing the germ on to their newborn babies in breast milk, and they were dying. Black people in Africa continue to die with whole generations wiped out and children left without parents.  The white gay community mobilized to deal with the situation while Black people fell through the cracks due to their own prejudices and ignorance, coupled with an inherently racist health system that continues today.The HIV virus is not killing white America, so much anymore, but it is killing Black America....Let's bring it even closer....It is affecting Black straight America...through Black straight women, who refuse to hold their sexual partners accountable.In Hamilton County, Cincinnati, Ohio....The number of Black women living with HIV/AIDS has doubled since 1998, according to the Ohio Department of Health.

        <description><![CDATA[From: TheSkeptikOne If the leaks are true, then Obama is going to send more troops into Afghanistan. He's reportedly not going to send as many troops as the generals want. He has instead reportedly opted for some middle ground.     I'm sorry but I didn't vote for middle ground compromise. I voted for change. Change from the policies of the past several years, that have decimated the middle class, allowed big business to pillage this country's resources and to run rough shod over the American people, unchecked by an uncaring government.  In the first year of Obama, Wall Street is back to handing out multimillion dollar bonuses, Black people are still the last hired, first fired with the most unemployment, LGBT people are still second class citizens, and as a country, we're still engaged in two useless wars where our people are dying for no reason, and we're propping up corrupt foreign governments that willingly taking our money and  laugh all the way to the bank ...Obama is slated to speak at West Point to]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: TheSkeptikOne I am still thankful that Barack Obama was elected president of the United States last November. I believe that the country turned and started going in the right direction after being off kilter for so many years.I still think that one year later, he was and remains the best choice for this country.Am I 100% happy with the way things have gone this past year?  No. When Obama put together his “change” team, he didn't really change things. He added a few women, a couple of women of color. He added a few openly gay and lesbian people. However, from the beginning he stuck with the same white guys, maybe a little younger, but those who espoused the same kind of stuff and policies  that got us into this mess in the first place.  I was not happy with the likes of Geithner, Summers, or the Generals put in charge of those misguided fiascoes Iraq and Afghanistan.  One year in, I  am less happy with his choices.Having been raised on politics from the cradle,  I know that things can't and won't]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: TheSkeptikOne By now, everyone has heard about the Mayan calendar and how it predicts the end of the world coming on December 21, 2012. By that reckoning we have about 1132 days left on this planet before it comes apart.Honestly, I can't wrap my head around the world ending suddenly...just like I can't  imagine committing suicide, simply because there is no reason that I would deprive this world of me... Ya'll don't deserve that..I can' t really conceive that one morning I'm gonna wake up and by noon the earth is going to be torn apart, taking all of humanity with it....Until I'm dodging asteroids or fissures in the earth,  I'm not going to believe it.It's one of those things that will happen,  when it happens...but not yet...I don't plan on worrying about it until it happens..Besides, the Mayan calendar doesn't say the world is going to end...It just ends...possibly on December 21st or maybe December 23rd...The so called experts of interpretation are hedging on the real date, because really.....no]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: TheSkeptikOne A closer look at the Stupak AmendmentWhat the first part of the legal mandate that the Stupak Amendment would impose is not new. It echoes the law laid down back in 1976 by the Hyde Amendment, which already forbids the use of federal funds to pay for most abortions. The exceptions are for rape and incest or when the woman's life is threatened if the pregnancy proceeds. It's the second part of the amendment that really ticks me off. The second graf of this travesty severely limits the availability of private insurance that does cover the procedure.  In other words, the Stupak Amendment doesn't just apply to the public option, which is the low cost government plan. It affects the proposed health care exchange plans as well, by forcing insurers to drop abortion coverage that they already offer, right now, to any new customers who may want to sign up with them through the proposed exchanges.   This means that if you have a health plan and want to switch to another plan under the proposed h]]></description>

Courageous is  a vote that would have passed without selling out half the population and half of his constiuency.  Courageous is a vote that would have shown respect for all women and their rights to make decisions about their lives...Courageous is the vote cast by GOP Congressman Ahn Cao...for his constituency and against his party....that's how you spell courageous...Driehaus didn't stand up for women.....He didn't want to stand up for women...He approved of an amendment that is the most restrictive anti abortion measure since the Hyde Amendment...Women deserve  good health care just like men....there is no gray area here....The right to choose is an integral part of that..The unborn  are potential voters.....Women....we're here....some of us ar]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: TheSkeptikOne Ohio Congressman Steve Driehaus is one of several democrats threatening to torpedo health care reform, unless the measure blocks the rights of women to get an abortion. Specifically, he says he will vote against the house health care bill, which is set for a vote tomorrow, if there are no provisions barring the use of federal funds for a woman to exercise her rights to an abortion. You can read more  here...Healthcare in this country is not equal when it comes to women. We cannot exercise our rights to choose what happens to our body. We get knocked up legitimately,  illegitimately or raped  and  it is termed a  pre-existing condition and  not subject to coverage.    It is time to get real...blocking funds for abortions is not going to put an end to them....Jailing women for terminating a pregnancy is not going to stop abortions...killing doctors for doing their job is not going to stop abortions..

In other words, you can't attack someone who you believe is gay or lesbian just because you feel like it.Gay bashing is no longer a sport in America...Obama also signaled his intention to  repeal the bigoted travel ban on HIV/AIDS positive people, that prevented them from coming into this country....And Health and Human Services is creating a resource center designed to h]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: TheSkeptikOne The Cincinnati Enquirer has issued its endorsements for City Council and many of them are no surprise.  You can read about them here. Jeff BerdingRoxanne QuallsChris BortzLeslie GhizNickolas HollanCecil ThomasKevin FlynnAmy MurrayCharles WinburnHaving an endorsement from the Cincinnati Enquirer is enough to usually  make me NOT want to vote for  any of   them, but I have to admit that this perennially  right leaning poor excuse for a newspaper gets it right sometimes...Like with Roxanne Qualls, Cecil Thomas and Kevin Flynn....I think they were correct in not endorsing Laketa Cole and Chris Monzel...I would sideline Leslie Ghiz for the same reason as I sideline Laketa Cole...Both show tremendous immaturity and a lack of common sense...Ghiz....Little more than a Midwestern version of Sarah Palin..exhibits little class...fewer smarts.....twittering during Council or Committee sessions is the kind of behavior that I expect from my 13 year old niece..not my city government representatives..]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: TheSkeptikOne My mom has a saying about my dad....one of many since they've been together 59 years...this one refers to how he fixes things...  Now...he can fix anything...and I do mean anything...He is the reason that I love working on stuff...that gene comes from him and my mother's father...my granddad....  Their ability to put things back together when broken..warped my thinking about men for a long time...because I  grew up thinking that all men could fix anything...just give them a screw driver, some nails and  a hammer...and BAM.....fixed and functioning...  Imagine my surprise when I grew up and found that most men don't know which end of the screw driver to use.....can't tell channel locks from pliers or a socket wrench from a pipe wrench...  I was absolutely shocked when one of my best buddies pulled me aside one night after we were talking with a group of people during which I referred to a stick shift car....he didn't know what I was talking about...so he asked me privately to keep his m]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: TheSkeptikOne Old ghetto saying.....”don't let your mouth get your ass in trouble!”Insurance companies say they will raise rates if health care reform passes...The big health care companies say they will be forced to hike rates if the Obama Administration pushes through health care reform for citizens.Do we need anymore arguments in favor of a public option?  Sounds to me like they are calling our bluff. Here is what they are saying:It's kind of like that scene in the movie the Ten Commandments where Moses played by Charleton Heston  is in the throne room talking to his pretend brother Ramses played in all his  bald sexy splendor by  Yul Brenner.....Where Moses tells Ramses the next curse to reign down on Egypt will come from Ramses lips....and Ramses struts and fumes and parades his half naked self  around and  tells Moses, to get the f*** out of his house or he is gonna kill him for real....Moses says okay and saunters out the door to go to his mother's house to drink wine, and eat bitter herb]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: TheSkeptikOne To quote one of Sarah Palin's favorite passages from her Bible...”When the Lord shuts a door....he opens a window somewhere else..” She used that phrase as part of her justification  for abandoning her governorship.  It is an apt description of Obama's week as well...  Just a few days ago, the rabid right was celebrating Chicago's loss of the 2016 Olympic games despite the  best efforts of America's holy trinity of   BO, MO and O....  The Big 3  got what was coming to them...put back in their place, where uppity folks belong...they crowed...  But then comes Friday and Obama is awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace...to everyone's surprise..  Lord may have slammed the door shut on Saturday...but threw open the window on Friday and yelled...”let's get some air in here...it stinks!”     Crazies went  apoplectic with anger. No matter what happens, it seems the man always manages to come up smelling like rose...  they griped and ranted and fumed and fussed....  But Karma is, what it is.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: TheSkeptikOne You may not know the name Floyd Brown, but I guarantee that you know his work...  This is the GOP dirty trickster who created the virulently racist Willie Horton Campaign that tanked the Presidential aspirations of Mike Dukakis, back in the day..  Now this fool has Obama in his sights saying he should be impeached because he harbors “malevolence toward the United States of America”  According to Brown....this satisfies the “high crimes and misdemeanors” clause as written into the Constitution by the Founding Fathers...  WTF?  The last time I looked...that clause referred to criminal activity...A crime committed, in other words..like...oh...lying to the American people about going to war against another country....or...giving all your business buddies no bid multi billion dollar contracts to literally rape the country and treat it like  their own personal piggyback....while young soldiers.....children of your supporters, by the way... give their lives defending an  illegal polic]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: TheSkeptikOne Mr. President should stop channeling Abraham Lincoln and  start giving us a little FDR  Various administration spokespersons keep trying to convince us that the recession is over...that the country has turned the corner.   However, I don't buy it and neither does anyone else for that matter, especially since unemployment continues to climb. The official number is just under 10% out of work. In addition there has been an under count going on since the days of Ronald Reagan when he announced that the government was no longer going to count those he termed unemployable or chronically unemployed. That move by Reagan immediately cut the official  unemployment figure in half, from 8% down to 4%,  and made him look good in the eyes of the majority.    It was a quick way to hide the real story of minority unemployment or white refusal at the time to hire Blacks, specifically, Black men.  Unemployment for Black men, then as now,  hovers around 30-40%, putting the onus of breadwinner permanently]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: TheSkeptikOne Government so far silent on number of minorities affected by flu bug.The Center for Disease Control says it will have a racial breakdown by the end of the week. However, early reports issued last month are showing that H1N1 is having a devastating effect on minority population,  with more than 33% of all US deaths happening among Hispanics.For instance, first reports are showing that in Boston, where blacks make up only a quarter of the overall population, 37% of all swine flu cases are Black.  Check out the full story here.Several schools have closed in the Greater Cincinnati area due to flu outbreaks, the latest being Zion Baptist Academy, which serves the Avondale neighborhood. &#169; 2009 Jo Anne Moore]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: TheSkeptikOne Still skeptical about Big Pharma-The 1976 fiasco.....2009 Problem  I will admit upfront, that I'm a total skeptic when it comes to government vaccination programs. Just like all Americans my age, I went through them as a kid. They didn't really hurt me or anything, but then my Mom was in charge. She said take them, I took them. I was only five years old after all.  As I have gotten older, I have come to learn that we don't really know what is in the medicines that we take.    A lot of the medicines on the market are there purely to make a profit for someone, at the expense of you and me.    I don't take the yearly flu vaccinations even though I'm considered high risk.  Having lived through the swine flu epidemic of 1976, I'm  not sure if I will ever trust my government or the big drug companies to do the right thing.Not the way it was set up then...and certainly not the way it is now.  Because as bad as the drug companies were back then...  They are a hundred times worse now in their d]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: TheSkeptikOne The organization that created Black History Month-94 years and counting, meets in Cincinnati  I had never heard of the ASALH organization before getting an email from my cousin via Facebook. ASALH means the Association for the Study of African American Life and History. It is an organization founded by  Carter G. Woodson, the noted historian. I knew who Dr. Woodson was, however I was not familiar with his organization or its long and illustrious history.  The email that was sent out, was a forwarded message asking for volunteers for an upcoming convention to be held at the Netherland Hilton, here in town.    Now, if you've read  me more than once or twice, you know how I feel about Black History Month. I have long voiced disapproval of Black History Month, not because I disagree with the concept. I don't like the fact that we, as a nation set aside only one month to talk about Black history when Black history is literally the foundation of this country. Slavery was our Holocaust.

        <description><![CDATA[From: TheSkeptikOne Obama in denial about racism, misses opportunity to address systemic issuesI understand that Obama has firmly planted himself in the middle.  He wants to be president to everybody. I'm on board with that. He was elected by nearly everybody. However, the very vocal minority who didn't vote for him and even refuse to recognize his very human-ness,  as well as his American-ness, have hijacked the national conversation.Jimmy Carter, the former president who was not as bad a president as some would imagine, kicked the door wide open on the subject. All Obama had to do was to walk through and begin the discussion.But he backed off, preferring instead to let Carter twist in the wind.  Carter's problem, even when he was president, was that he usually spoke the truth..People just didn't want to hear it. If this country had taken the steps mandated by Carter, back in the day, we might not be paying $4 for gasoline and hundreds of dollars a month heat our homes.If we had listened to Carter back t]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: TheSkeptikOne Make no mistake about it Kim Clijsters deserves to play for the US Open title today. She won it fair and square. I said earlier this week that she would be a headache for Serena, because Clijsters is a very good player from the old school. She doesn't wilt at the sight of her opponent across the net. She plays her game, which has always been one of the best return games in the business.  Most counter punchers, which Clijsters is....don't have anything to their game except the counter punch..in other words the passing shot or the very sharp angle return...Clijsters has that and strength and a serve...both first and second...and she is smart...very smart......and cool under pressure...  When you play Kim Clijsters, you bring your A game or you go home. It's that simple. Serena did not bring her A game last night. Her serve sucked. She couldn't get the first one in and her second simply disappeared. Add to those woes a backhand that became uncontrollable and you have a problem. It's happe]]></description>

Bush is out of office, but the war in Afghanistan is bloodier than before, even as Iraq is winding down, thanks to Obama.Waldo,  Osama and CarmenWaldo, Osama Bin Laden and Carmen Sandiego are the only three people in the world that American spy satellites can't seem to locate.

After all...America armed the Taliban in the first place...Why can't we end this American created  inter squad scrimmage and come home, now?-0-MichaelMJ may have been the king of pop when alive, but his family is going to make him the hardest working man in show business, since he passed.

        <description><![CDATA[From: TheSkeptikOne First African American Named as President of Major Univeristy  Normally that would be the headline when a Black is tapped to do something the first time. Forever, his or her name would be prefixed by “first African American” this or that, whenever he is talked about in the news.  However there is a problem here and the problem is that Gregory H. Williams, looks like a white man. He identifies himself as African American, so we're not spilling any family secrets here.    He is okay with his identity, in fact he wrote a book about it. The stories today point out his relationship to two coaches for the Cincinnati Bengals.  Yet, the media is in a state of flux about how to identify this man. If he were my color, there would be no problem.  If his skin is dark, then he is first and foremost identified by his color.However, since he looks like a white man, do they want to hang a negative on him in front of his name? In other words, since he looks like a white and probably lives like a wh]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: TheSkeptikOne Despite what my teachers told me all the way through school, even in college, I knew that I would never make a good teacher.  My teachers told me from third grade on, that I had what it took to educate other people. I had the ability to make them see history or to understand science or to solve the riddles hidden in psychology.What my teachers didn't know and that I never told them, is that I have trouble dealing with people who lack my passion for the subject. In other words, if you don't care and don't want to learn, I don't care and will not try to force feed it to you.A good teacher overlooks this and continually tries to bring the mountain to Mohammed, so to speak. Not me. I know the damn mountain won't move and if Mohammed's not interested in seeing it, I'm not interested in breaking a sweat to get dirty for someone who doesn't care in the first place.The one person who should be talking to school kids is President Obama. He is the walking, talking, living, breathing example of t]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: TheSkeptikOne Venus Williams playing on one leg is good enough to comfortably beat just about everybody else on the WTA Tour. However there are a few exceptions besides her sister, and Kim Clijsters is one of them.Clijsters who recently decided to come back to the tour following an injury and baby retirement, has always had one of those dangerous games for either Williams. She is one of the best returners in the game. And she is a former grand slam champion.     I was surprised when she dusted Venus in the first set and equally surprised when Venus returned the favor in the second set.  The outcome of the match didn't bother me too much. Venus is gimpy and it shows. She can't get down on her shots because of the knee. She does need the rest.    She would have met Serena in the semifinals and now this is  not going to happen. So Serena has pretty much of a straight shot at the championship with only Clijsters in the way. I am discounting the 17 year old phenom.She is good, but I don't think she has t]]></description>

A spokesperson for the inviting group said they like hearing from the people who influence the world markets....All rightey then.....-0-(originally posted 9/8/08)I’m sorry that I called Sarah Palin just an “old white guy republican in a dress.” That was an insult to old white guy republicans. I’ve known a few in my life and other than their political leanings, they are actually good people. Some of them anyway.The more I see and read about Sarah Palin, the more convinced I am that she is closer to a Taliban...you know those guys we’re fighting in Afghanistan....The ones who want to impose their world on that country as well as the rest of us.Question: What is the difference between right wing Christian conservat]]></description>
