Random Wednesday Morning Thoughts
-John McCain has an NCAA basketball bracket contest on his web site. I wanted to vote for the University of GetOuttaIraq but couldn't find it.
-Hottest pole vaulter ever?
-Longtime Tarrant County lawyer Jack Strickland resigned from the Tarrant County Bar Crimina Defense Bar Association yesterday over the Judge Elizabeth Berry "scandal." Good for him.
-Barack Obama's "race speech" yesterday went about as well as it could
- I'm now reading Jeffrey Toobin's The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court
- With high gas prices, I hate to see what will happen to the price of airline tickets.
- I think I heard that the Mavericks were down by 35 last night to the Lakers but had a chance to win on the final shot. (For the one second I watched the game, I saw they were down by 22).
- For those three people that care if Baylor/Purdue will be televised locally tomorrow afternoon, this pdf coverage map says yes.

Go Kentucky Wildcats!!
Obama is a complete hypocrit and jerk. He called for Don Imus' resignation but supports a black racist Sunday after Sunday? I'm not sure white America is ready for his recipe for change!
Give me a break.
hate to say it barry, but your right, no one cares about the baylor/purdue game. HOOK'EM HORNS!!
I am shocked you couldn't find the University of GetOuttaIraq it's in the bracket with the Univeristy of LiberalLosers.
Is there any chance this blog will ever operate faster than it does now?
It's a good thing that our troops aren't unionized. The troops in Germany, Japan and Korea would file a grievance if the troops in Iraq were pulled out before they were. Isn't it all about seniority?
A better book to read on the Supreme Court is "Men in Black" by Mark Levine.
Allison will always be my favorite...
Good point 8:36, I heard the clips of Obammy calling for Imus to be fired. But he appeared earlier on his show hawking his book, but said that Imus had a history of being rascist. Give it up Hussein. Clinton is the king of liars and you sir are no Bill Clinton.
nicew reference to the don imus thing, and what about Dog the Bounty Hunter? He had a PRIVATE CONVERSATION TAPED WITHOUT HIS KNOWLEDGE, used the N word, and he's STILL PAYING FOR IT!!
How in the world can you liberals defend jeremiah wright at all (and still keep a straight face)?!
Jarhead,Allison looks TOO young even for me.
I'm a white liberal and I have no reason to defend Rev. Wright's emotional comments. You might also note that Obama did not endorse or support those comments either. Obama did defend the man as a friend and counselor without accepting Wright's inflammatory speech. I fully concur with Obama's speech and his position with Wright.
To anonymous 8:36...
Obama was a member of TUCC for 20+ years and has on numerous occasions declared "Rev. Wright is the most influential person in my adult life." Obama in his infinite wisdom compared the private racial insensitive comments of his grandmother to those of a racist, anti-American, black separatist. Obama for 20+ years drank from the poisoned well of Rev. Wright and is himself so indoctrinated by racism that rather than denounce a racist he embraces Rev. Wright. If you doubt for a moment Obama is just as big a black separatist as is Rev. Wright have a look at the "12 precepts and covenantal statements" taken from TUCC's website prior to the uproar with Obama. Incidentally for those of you who have difficulty seeing the racism in this doctrine, exchange the word "white" for the word "black." How long do you think a white politician would last if they belonged, for 20+ years, to an organization that espoused white separatism?
“We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian...Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain 'true to our native land,' the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.
“Trinity United Church of Christ adopted the Black Value System written by the Manford Byrd Recognition Committee chaired by Vallmer Jordan in 1981. We believe in the following 12 precepts and covenantal statements. These Black Ethics must be taught and exemplified in homes, churches, nurseries and schools, wherever Blacks are gathered. [emphasis by mzchief] They must reflect on the following concepts:
1. Commitment to God
2. Commitment to the Black Community
3. Commitment to the Black Family
4. Dedication to the Pursuit of Education
5. Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence
6. Adherence to the Black Work Ethic
7. Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect
8. Disavowal of the Pursuit of "Middleclassness"
9. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the Black Community
10. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting Black Institutions
11. Pledge allegiance to all Black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System
12. Personal commitment to embracement of the Black Value System.”
Can't wait to follow the "Judge Barry Green scandal" and "the ensuing fallout".
*don't underestimate mzchief*
My new T-shirt design,what do ya'll think?
Damn. Mzchief returns... WITH AUTHORITY!!
Obama's Minister Committed "Treason" But When My Father Said the Same Thing He Was a Republican Hero
"If there is a legitimate reason for the use of force [against the US government]... then at a certain point force is justifiable."
"In the United States the materialistic, humanistic world view is being taught exclusively in most state schools... There is an obvious parallel between this and the situation in Russia [the USSR]. And we really must not be blind to the fact that indeed in the public schools in the United States all religious influence is as forcibly forbidden as in the Soviet Union..."
"There does come a time when force, even physical force, is appropriate... A true Christian in Hitler's Germany and in the occupied countries should have defied the false and counterfeit state. This brings us to a current issue that is crucial for the future of the church in the United States, the issue of abortion... It is time we consciously realize that when any office commands what is contrary to God's law it abrogates it's authority. And our loyalty to the God who gave this law then requires that we make the appropriate response in that situation..."
"Take Dad's words and put them in the mouth of Obama's preacher (or in the mouth of any black American preacher) and people would be accusing that preacher of treason. Yet when we of the white Religious Right denounced America white conservative Americans and top political leaders, called our words "godly" and "prophetic" and a "call to repentance."
There are a whole bunch of nutty people in America. Most of them got that way because they suffered some kind of mistreatment whether it was perceived or real. Obama's speech is a call for tolerance by both sides and understanding the anger caused by the mistreatment. If we don't make an honest effort to hear and heal we'll never get anywhere with the racial issues.
I wonder why the press doesn't look at John McCain?
I found podcasts from his preacher if anyone is interested.
To anonymous 9:50...
Obama attempting to justifying racism TODAY based upon ill treatment of the PAST is not someone who is making "real change." It is someone whose only goal is to change the colour of the people from whom racism is tolerated.
What blacks and most whites do not realize is that Black Africans have been selling Black Africans into slavery since before the Ancient Egyptians some 5,000+ years ago. Typically, the victors of geopolitical, religious and economically based wars took the survivors of the losing side as slaves. At some point EVERY ethnicity has been a member of a slave class. The first slaves owned by whites were other whites. Black Africans sold Black Africans to white European slave traders to, at no cost to the slave, be taken to and sold in the United States. BTW...People frequently became "indentured servants" to pay for their passage from the Old World to the U.S. colonies. Typically, the "indentured servant" would pay for their food and housing thus extending their term of "indentured servitude" frequently to include the last day of their life. It doesn't take but a moment to realize blacks living in the U.S. have a much better standard of living than those living anywhere on the African continent. From my perspective, blacks have more reason to be pissed with Black Africans than they do with the United States. Oh, it was the U.S. in 1865 that temporally (Only temporally because Africa and Asia have the global slave trade cranked up like never before.) ended the global slave trade and was responsible for the ending, through diplomacy, economic and political sanctions and resolutions, of Apartheid in South Africa. Blacks are owed NOTHING and have no more right to being outraged than any other person whose ancestors were enslaved and victimized. Before blacks get a dime for their ancestors having struggled so their descendants could have a good life, the United States needs to return every single acre of the United States to Native Americans...Don't hold your breath for that to happen unless blue is a very good color for you.
If blacks and white apologists can not wrap their heads around the fact that racism is WRONG and should be denounced rather than embraced, then I suggest EVERY person who rejects racism vote for John McCain.
The ONLY "change" Obama truly wants to make is the colour of the man sitting in the Big Chair in the White House.
Did anyone see the Daily Show coverage of Obama's Race speech? I'm waiting for SNL to see if they ahve the guts to get a Jerimiah Wright character.
Obama basically through his white grandmother under the bus comparing her private comments regarding black men to Jerimiah Wright's hateful rantings from the pulpit as being about the same!
The problem with this is Obama did not chose his white grandmother who raised him and paid for his prep school education. He did chose his pastor and mentor for 20 years.
Fox News pundits are declaring John McCain the winner. As a Democrat, I don't see how Obama can win now and if Hillary is the candidate, the progressives and blacks will not support her.
I think Democrats have shot themselves in the foot, no the head, and will not win in November.
The election is over unless John McCain goes crazy or some one can associate him with someone more hateful than Jerimiah Wright! I don't think McCain will assoicate himself with someone who hates our country. Not after spending years in a POW camp!
FYI, Brite Divinity School, at TCU plans on honoring Jerimiah Wright at an event on March 29th. Perhaps it it past time we take notice of what is being taught and why it is being condoned.

What did people honestly expect to be the outcome of the white apologists granting blacks the "RIGHT" to have, for decades, organizations that excluded whites?
NationalConference of Black Mayors
The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation
National Black Police Association
International Association of Black Professional Fire Fighters
Dallas Black Chamber of Commerce
Even the courtrooms of the United Sates are chock full of people who are members of organizations that base membership and interests on race.
Many states have an "Association of Black Judges"
The Black Lawyers Association
Texas Black Lawyers
The Harvard Black Law Students Association
Who knows what these black organizations espouse as far as black separatism but we do know that Trinity United Church of Christ and other organizations such as Brite Divinity School endorse "black liberation theology" and in doing so use it as a justification to embrace racism, black separatism and spreading anti-American lies much like the racism, Islamic separatism and anti-American lies taught in radical Muslim mosques.
Americans of EVERY race need to recognize that racism committed by ANYONE, regardless of their skin colour, is WRONG!
Refuse to ever being fooled into voting for a racist like Barack Obama.
11:32 Re: "Unless McCain goes crazy..."
short trip that.
