What a week!

The G-20 trade expo event looks more and more real; I am discovering who my real friends are; and my generation falls somewhere between "Frazer" and "Friends."

Wow, what a week.

I agree with Pat Buchanan.

I think Pat Buchanan is correct.

Sonya Sotomayor is not fit to be on the Supreme Court.

If all Black men are on the Olympic team, that's because they're fast. Ask Dusty Baker.

If all White men are on the winning Stanley Cup team, that's because they're better. Ask Pete Marovich.

So, there should be no Sotomayor on SCOTUS, because the preponderence of evidence presented by Pat Buchanan should stipulate that.

Wait. I used the word, "stipulate," instead of "stupid."

It's stupid to think that monocromatic approaches to the law benefits the country defined as a "melting pot" early in its history.

It's stupid to think that NO Supreme Court justice brings their background into the decision-writing process. Why did Clarence Thomas write a book entitled, "My Grandfather's Son"? Who cares about his grandfather? His grandfather isn't sitting on the Supreme Court, now, is he?

I just find it ludicrous that Pat Buchanan would just say the things others think, and get lambasted for it. I made hundreds of calls into the rural parts of a state during Barack's campaign, and was flatly told, "I wouldn't vote for that nigger."

'Nuff said. Let's just be honest. Let's call a spade a spade, and a spic a spic, right, Pat?

How NOT To Organize, by Sarah Palin

I learned a valuable 4-point method for making political organizing decisions:

1, will this help build capacity;

2, will this help develop leaders;

3, will this represent an efficient use of resources; and

4, will this move my target?

Let's look @ each of these from the POV of soon-to-be former governor of Alaska, as she continues to fight for more minutes of fame than Michael Jackson, Steve McNair and Farrah Fawcett.

First, who is she building capacity for, or for what? If the GOP, then she gets a #fail by making this whorish statement: "I will go around the country on behalf of candidates who believe in the right things, regardless of their party label or affiliation." Right by who? Can we chop & skrew you with a pro-gun, pro-choice champion of energy independence (a la Brian Schweitzer)? When he runs for Congress against Rehberg (hint, hint, Mr. Governor!), will you come to Big Sky country and dazzle us with your support? Can you build capacity for movements and campaigns, Sarah? Didn't work for you when you ran for Vice President...

Next, what leadership will you be developing? Wait, that's a #fail on my part--you're grooming Bristol, right? She is taking the lead, baby in tow, as the leading voice in teen abstinence. I'll move on, because any more keystrokes on this will kill me.

Third, resources? Your press conference on 3 July shows how you squander resources, Madam Governor. Oh, and your clothes from your failed Vice Presidential bid--which Goodwill did they go to, again, please?

Lastly, if your target is the American electorate, then I wish there were a hashtag for #doublefail. How can you move targets on issues independent of partisanship when you participated in the most partisan campaign in history, up to this point? When I was on Barack's campaign, you flooded our office with Republicans who were repulsed by your addition to the top ticket and wanted to help President Obama win. Move targets? If I were running for an office, I would encourage my opponent to ask you to stump for them. You provide a perspicaciously paradoxical effect, Mrs. Palin.

So, best of luck to you in your future endeavors. Just don't become a community organizer.

This has nothing to do with organizing.

Here's a story...

2 Southern boys. High-profile men.

Married, with 4 children.

Cheating on their wives.

Only difference? One's dead.

Why the difference?

Your thoughts?

Happy 4th!

Celebrate your country; thank a veteran; see some fireworks; hang out with family & friends; thank God you aren't living in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan or Honduras...

Have a happy and safe 4th of July.
