A few “Off the cuffs”

1. Rahm Emanuel
This diary by blueintheface has only motivated me to send another small check to Democracy for America.
Writing a message to read between the lines, it was about two weeks ago I told my nephew I feel there is a serious historical relationship between Rahm Emanuel (Brutus) and Pres. Obama ( Julius Caesar). He gasped!
Progressive activists are being "f^cking stupid"? Hey Rahm, kiss my f^cking uninsured ass

Excerpt:
Which is why I think I think it's fucking stupid to let the poster child for healthcare industry greed and sleaze frame the healthcare reform debate. Rick Scott's company paid out almost $2Billion in fines for over-billing and defrauding the government and his story isn't blasted after every Conservatives for Patients Rights ad? Talk about bringing a knife to a gun fight. Why is it that we have to rely on Rick Sanchez to take this asshole down, and why wasn't Scott's past and motivation exposed by the White House and their allies months ago?
Ignoring his own playbook, a knife is all Emanuel is bringing to this fight. And he's using it to threaten the wrong people. Talk about being fucking stupid. How smart is it to throw your support behind the Democratic representatives who brag about killing healthcare reform while leaving your allies who have been working diligently to face violent mobs spewing lies and hyperbole fomented by the well-monied anti-reform insurance company insiders?

2. America, a brave new world
This amazing diary “So you wanna talk about Hitler...
by citisven” is without a parallel in the history of the blogosphere that I have read. In my opinion, it’s a first with equal ratings along with the first Black President in America. Kudos to diarist citisven. A very brave and wonderful writer.

3. New book, “After America” by Paul Starobins came today.
I ordered the book from Amazon on Aug. 6 for $21.34 including shipping and did not request next business day delivery. Color me impressed.

4. Coming up to the last pages of current reading
I have less than 100 pages to go on “An Unbroken Agony” by Randall Robinson. Oooo, Voodoo, Hoodoo the things he writes about the Bush and Clinton administrations and Ron Dillums and the mulattos in Haiti and the Blacks in America and, my God, all those things about Colin Powell leaving Pres. Arisitide to fin for himself amidst a brewing military coup around pgs. 170! WOW!

I will probably start reading “After America” in the morning. I have always admired people who say they are reading more than one book at a time. It sounds so impressive! So elitist and if you are Black like me, it sounds so “Uppity and arrogant!!” I am not a Black man searching for his identity. (Smile)
Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-Span and the spirits of the unborn for the help,
BB
