Where's the Bull-horn??

Kudos to Katherine for posting this link on Facebook with this introduction:
"I don’t think George W. Bush should be allowed to slip quietly out of town. There should be a loud, collective angry howl and demonstrations over the damage he’s done to this country. Where's my bull-horn?"

Thanks, Katherine. I couldn't have said it better myself....

Our Shared Destiny

Over the past few days, I've been reading the January issue of Essence Magazine. For those who don't know, Essence is targeted towards Black readers. The issue had a large section of photographs and articles on Obama's victory and a variety of responses from prominent Black Americans as well as from some young black students.

Reading the issue has left me with the feeling that the Black and White communities in our country now are really entwined into a shred destiny. That, up to now, we've been on parallel but different tracks. As so many in the nation look forward with hope, we are all so truly dependent upon Obama as the President of all of America - our futures are truly linked.

Victory Font Analysis

Here's a different perspective on the biggest story of 2008....analyzing the type fonts of the front page stories proclaiming Obama's victory: http://fontfeed.com/archives/newspaper-front-pages-proclaim-obama-victory/

If this is the non-partisan view....

In their own words (with my emphasis):

The Center for Public Integrity is a nonprofit organization dedicated to producing original, responsible investigative journalism on issues of public concern. The Center is non-partisan and non-advocacy. We are committed to transparent and comprehensive reporting both in the United States and around the world.

And this is the Center for Public Interest's list of the executive failures for the current administration http://www.publicintegrity.org/investigations/broken_government/

What additional failures would you add from your partisan point-of-view? Please comment.

2008 R Us - Not Singing So Much

Okay - well, I'm not singing quite as much right now. Yes - I'm still confident that the election of Barack Obama is going to be a very good thing for the USA. However, my singing has slowed since my last post because the 2008 financial crisis has come too close to our home, literally. Our home sale fell through in the past month because the buyer lost his Wall Street job within days of the scheduled closing. It's back on the market now.

While we're waiting for it to sell, I've obtained a seasonal job at a well-known local department store. I have my training on Sunday and look forward to making posts to this blog with my liberal-heart reactions to working retail this holiday season.

Til then - if you know somebody who wants a wonderful updated 3-bedroom home in CT, please let me know.
