I heard this story this morning and felt a little "off" all day. It's part one of a story about sexual identity and how it manifests in transgendered children and what two sets of parents did in support of their very young sons--as young as 2 or 3.

I listen to Morning Joe before starting my workday, but then, I watch O'Reilly and Glen Beck--when I can keep my ears from bleeding--and haven been known to visit hate group sites, just so's I know what they're up to, ya'll.

Reverend Wright is never going to disappear. He's found a national pulpit and he's reveling in his notoriety and isn't going to step away lightly.

In case you missed it, here's the good reverend at the National Press Club this past Monday.

Part 1

As I sit here, I find something eerily similar between the Clinton campaign and what can now only be called the Reverend Wright campaign. Both seem to operate from the view that if they don't get what they want, they get to ruin it for the other guy.

Crabs in a barrel . . . and a barrel of laughs. This entire episode is laughable and sad! Obama has to endure the same as Jackie Robinson, Rill Russell . . . Ralph Bunche, Adam Powell . . . Oprah Winfrey, Diane Carroll . . . Denmark Vessey, Paul Robeson . . . He is The Modern Day Step - n - Fetchit!

Just this one last thing and then I've got to record my radio show (OK, so I'm stalling while I try to convince myself that what I was going to talk about is still what I want to talk about).

Saw this last night on the Colbert Report and laughed like a goon. For the first time, it appears, white men will get their due as the key electoral demographic in partisan politics.

Enjoy!

John McCain, who voted against the King holiday in 1983 and in 1987 did little as he saw his state vote to recind their participation in the King holiday, is--right now--in Memphis, marking the 40th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. King. My irony meter is at 22.

This from the good people at "The Color of Change:"

On March 27, Secretary of State. Condoleezza Rice in a wide-ranging press conference, responded to a questions about race in the U.S. Given that, to my knowledge, she's never weighed in on the subject of race, I was surprised that she did it and did it rather emphatically.

I like Lou Dobbs and listen to him regularly. Though I don't acribe to many of his views, I don't think he's as rabid an idealogue as many on the right...oh, and on the left.

In his eloquent 37-minute speech, "A More Perfect Union," Sen. Barack Obama sought to address head-on the nuances and complexities of race in America.
