I agree. But you cannot deny that the Black female psyche was, to an extent, repaired as a result of Michelle Obama becoming the nation's first African American first lady.

Thank you so much for the link!

When I read “Adoration,” on the NPR website, I nearly broke into tears. I'm so proud of my Black sisters for pledging to actively defend and protect Michelle Obama throughout the election cycle. We understood that by calling out the media's attempts to ghettoize and demonize Michelle, we were in fact defending ourselves.

Brawn and the White gene; and just like Sarah Palin & the Scarecrow from the Wizrd of Oz, he had no brains.

They should have been doing this all along to push for self-sufficiency and accountability. I wonder if they would've done this had Essence still been Black owned. Selling it whole was stupid stupid stupid. They could've tried to keep a small ownership amount for less money.

Hmph! They're kicking themselves as they lose jobs, pensions and homes. Too bad the rest of us have to suffer because of the fools that saw stars in their eyes. Who actually believed an unqualified actor who'd never held office before knew what he was doing?

Only $40B more to go!

Except Ah-nold wants to cut the school year for public school children as well even as CA falls further behind national averages for math, science and other important subjects. The US is already scraping the barrel compared to students in foreign countries and they have longer school days.

He's still going to try to raise the state sales tax to 10-10.25%.

Hopefully people will think twice about voting celebrities into high gov't office.

Squarepeg, nice pic of PEO outside the eatery.

The multi-colored bear? statute outside Ben's adds an eclectic flavor to the scene.

When I lived in Oakland, I was one of the ones wearing out shoe leather to help Gray Davis keep his job. California got the government it deserved because they got blinded by Ah-nold's “I'll Be Back”" bullshyt.

I know Californians are wondering what the eff possessed them to vote for Schwarzenegger.
