I Hope You Dance
Tyler Perry fans, this is the song that he talked about during some of his interviews and in his email that he had Gladys Knight record for "The Family That Preys" (it plays at the end). I couldn't find a video of Gladys singing it but I'm sure you'll love this one.
All of you who are disappointed that either Senator Clinton loss her campaign or that there are no candidates you "like"... I hope you dance all the way to the polls to make sure that Barack Obama is elected President on November 4th. You may not like him for whatever reason, but if you're honest with yourself, you know that he's our best chance for getting out of the deep hole this country is in. DANCE!!!

Women Say No Palin!
Hello All! My friend Sam sent me this email. Thanks, Sam. It's on point.
Friends and compatriots,
We are writing to you because of the fury and dread we have felt since the announcement of Sarah Palin as the Vice-Presidential candidate for the Republican Party. We believe that this terrible decision has surpassed mere partisanship, and that it is a dangerous farce—on the part of a pandering and rudderless Presidential candidate—that has a real possibility of becoming fact.
Perhaps like us, as American women, you share the fear of what Ms. Palin and her professed beliefs and proven record could lead to for ourselves and for our present and future daughters. To date, she is against a woman's right to choose, environmental protection, alternative energy development, freedom of speech (as mayor she repeatedly brought up the question of banning books), gun control, the separation of church and state, and polar bears.
We want to clarify that we are not against Sarah Palin as a woman, a mother, or, for that matter, a parent of a pregnant teenager, but solely as a rash, incompetent, and all together devastating choice for Vice President. Ms. Palin's political views are in every way a slap in the face to the accomplishments that our mothers and grandmothers so fiercely fought for, and that we've so demonstrably benefited from.
First and foremost, Ms. Palin does not represent us. She does not demonstrate or uphold our interests as American women. It is presumed that the inclusion of a woman on the Republican ticket could win over women voters. We want to disagree, publicly.
Therefore, we invite you to submit with a short, succinct message about why you, as a woman living in this country, do not support this candidate as second-in-command for our nation:
http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/o/5558/t/3691/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=466
>We will post your responses on a blog called "Women Against Sarah Palin," which we intend to publicize as widely as possible. Please send us your reply at your earliest convenience-the greater the volume of responses we receive, the stronger our message will be.
Thank you for your time and action.
VIVA!
Sincerely,
Quinn L. and Lyra K.
New York, NY

**PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY! If you send this to 20 women in the next hour, you could be blessed with a country that takes your concerns seriously. Stranger things have happened.

Lakeview Terrace - In Theaters September 19th
In Lakeview Terrace, a young couple (Patrick Wilson and Kerry Washington) has just moved into their California dream home when they become the target of their next-door neighbor, who disapproves of their interracial relationship. A stern, single father, this tightly wound LAPD officer (Samuel L. Jackson) has appointed himself the watchdog of the neighborhood. His nightly foot patrols and overly watchful eyes bring comfort to some, but he becomes increasingly harassing to the newlyweds. These persistent intrusions into their lives ultimately turn tragic when the couple decides to fight back.
Hmmm...
This piece was emailed to me today. I don't know who wrote it, but I think that he or she nailed it! Thanks for the email, Michelle.
I'm a little confused. Let's see if we have this straight....
If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're 'exotic, different.' Grow up in Alaska eating moose burgers-- a quintessential American story.
If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim. -- Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you're a maverick.
Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable. Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well rounded.
If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any real leadership experience.
If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're qualified to become the country's second highest ranking executive.
If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising two beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real Christian. If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your disfigured wife and married heiress Cindy the next month, you're a Christian.
If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.
If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state's school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you're very responsible.
If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values don't represent America 's.
If your husband is nicknamed 'First Dude', with at least one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.
OK, we are much clearer now.

Barack Obama: Ready to Lead
Barack Obama Democratic Presidential Nomination Acceptance Speech
Barack Obama: Ready to Lead
History was made tonight…
Barack Obama officially took on the fight
To take hold of the reins of the United States
And to lead her back to her status of numerous greats
America was a great economic power
She had a great military ready to defend her at any hour
The old girl still has great citizens ready to roll up a sleeve
And rebuild her into a nation in whom everyone can trust and believe
Obama will lead the fight but he will not be alone
Joe Biden agreed to be his running mate, putting his experience
and ability on loan
In the Senate, Hillary Clinton, whenever she gets the call,
will answer her phone
And with the speech he gave tonight, Obama showed he’s firmly in the game
and he will play it to the bone!
Democrats like former President Bill Clinton and veteran Senator Ted Kennedy
have all converged
Demonstrating their support. And support from the undecided they’ve
strongly urged
Leaving no doubt that a willing, capable and necessary leader has been
found in this man
That’s why even Republicans and Independents are joining in the Obama
chants of “Change” and “Yes, we can!”

Hillary Rodham Clinton: Deep Tracks
Hillary Clinton at the 2008 DNC
Hillary Rodham Clinton: Deep Tracks
In your bid for the Democratic Presidential nomination,
you made quite a stand
Proved yourself more than a worthy opponent; had your say
But when the time came to unite a fractured party
You stepped up and supported Barack Obama in the strongest way
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, you are a political powerhouse
You met every challenge and exceeded expectations to become
a Democratic dynamo
Women the world over are still cheering you on
With well-deserved applause for the Hillary we’ve come to admire and know
You fought a protracted, difficult battle
And came closer to winning the coveted White House
seat than any woman in history
In the process, a role model was forged
That every female, young, old, or in between should see
Thanks to you, that ever present glass ceiling
Now has, in your own words, 18 million cracks
The ties that bind sisterhood are stronger than ever
And countless young women will be proud to follow in your deep tracks

9-year-old pitched from league... told he's too good!
Jericho Scott used to pitch for his team as a participating member of the Youth Baseball League of New Haven. The 9-year-old can throw a fastball that has been clocked at 40 mph. League officials told the youngster that he is too good to play in their youth league. If you think something stinks about this story, you may be sniffing out the truth. The Miami Herald has the full story.

A Little Late but Better Than Never...
Hello All! I failed to post these two poems I wrote in tribute to Estelle Getty of the Golden Girls fame and the sinfully soulful Isaac Hayes, best remembered for composing the theme from the movie Shaft, his popular albums (as they were called back in the day), Hot Buttered Soul and Black Moses, and as the voice of Chef from South Park. At least we still have the reruns and the music to keep them in our hearts and minds.
Final Curtain Call
A Golden Girl’s gone home, unfortunately
But she left a legacy of laughter and joy for you and me
The only mother in the world who could make her daughter the butt of a
cruel joke at the drop of a hat
And have us falling down with laughter waiting for more of that
After a stroke destroyed her brain’s filter, it was only the truth she spoke
The spunky Italian implant was always serious yet hilarious, but never a joke
Sophia always had a story to tell when her loved ones or friends needed
advice or were feeling low
With two simple words, “Picture it,” it was off to the past with her we’d go
No more stories left for Sophia to tell
The end of “Picture it,” the phrase we know so well
Although it was agreed by all that Sophia stole the show
Estelle was not one her own horn to blow
Her battle is over. Estelle Getty took her final curtain call
But that sassy Sicilian Golden Girl will live on, loved always by us all
Sunida E. York © 2008 All Rights Reserved
Isaac Hayes: Something is wrong
That deep, Hot Buttered Soul voice from the south
Became known the world over as a musically bad mutha (shut yo’ mouth)!
Instrumental genius, innovator of lyrical smoothness…
Isaac Hayes’ bass infused vocals caressed our ears with finesse
The theme for Shaft won awards and made Hayes a household name
Soul music lovers were glad that the Tennessee native was in the game
Stax Records studio in Memphis was his songwriting playground
Where Hayes played in the band and crafted tunes with his unique sound
In later years, Isaac Hayes decided to try his hand at comedy
Opening up a whole new side of the artist for a younger generation to see
He acted in movies such as “I’m Gonna Get You Sucka” and “Hustle and Flow”
Black Moses, something is wrong with your fans… we’re saddened that you
had to go
