I was taking the Go Train this week when a grown ass woman in error got on the wrong train. Upon the advise of others (group of at least 5) she pushed the emergency stop tab. Causing the entire train containing 10 carts and upto 1500 passengers to come to a complete stop.

Imagine..... one person delays 1500 passengers to ease her misfortune of getting on the wrong train.

Platitude.

Palin's speech reminded me of preachers who talk because God gave them a mouth, uttering sheer nonsense trying to get people hyped, and calling it a sermon. Could be a sellout movie with Jim Carrey.

Hollywood types are free to roam about doing what they do best while a whole lot of folks look the other way. Now Dr. Murray is supposed to be the poster child for LA Style Justice?

Some folks like to refer to the Republican Party as the party of no. After last night's state of the union, they are the Party of Buts. Blah, blah, hot air, but.... Stale and lame!

Last go-round, the Republican spokesperson after an Obama speech was Louisiana Governor, Bobby Jindal. Who could forget that memorable train-wreck of a Republican rebuttal speech Jindal gave? It was hilarious. This time around, the Republican rebuttal speech was overkill. The new Governor of Virginia, whatever his name may be, spoke in response to President Obama's state of the union address on January 27, 2009. read more (94 words)

I believed that if you developed yourself as a person you can offer more in a relationship and intern expect more from your partner.

My Mother was a Negro. What is wrong with being Negro? I have decided to mark Negro on the census when they send it to me. What does African American mean? I can trace my roots as far back as France but more recently Louisiana. There may be some blood from some country in Africa, but I have no idea where. When a person nationalizes from lets say, Ghana, are they African American or are they still Ghanaian or maybe Ghanaian American? What about Egypt or Morocco? In between being Negro and African American, we were and still are Black. This website uses the term Black. When will all of the identity titles end? It is tiring.

The Supreme Court Justices may need refreshers on ethics and judgment. The Supreme Court's decision to ease limits on campaign spending by corporations and labor unions is a train wreck waiting to happen. Are these the same corporations who are unable to make ethical decisions with their workers' pensions? Are these the same corporations that have been too big to fail yet failed miserably? read more (98 words)

I found this and could not believe what I was reading. Seems the Germans have respect and adoration for our leader than most folks in this country. oddly enough, a Thai newspaper picked up the article and the great AP has not printed anything!
