If this story were true (coupled with the fact that we know how Muslim men are religiously connected to their women), why would America further spit in their faces with pictures of rape! Let's say the pictures don't show rape but sadistic beatings of various kinds, will the release prove greater intent? The error in my opinion is not the issue of transparency by the president but the lack of prudence and tactfulness of the far Left. The president is not covering up his own mess he is trying to contain a messy situation (he inherited) until it can be resolved.

How the hell does “World Net Daily” get a press pass?? What the hell? Does the National Enquirer and Star magazine have press credentials for White House briefings?

The GOP repulses the rank and file soldiers. The men and women in uniform see what I see…straight up deserters with fat pockets using them for capital gains.

I LIKE Carlos in DC's comments on his blog. “Hispanic” IS a made up word. It came out of the Nixon era. We have all fallen into using the word.

Carlos makes the point that “hispanic” denies the African and Native American influence that difference cultures have. I think his point is well taken. Sotomayor is a Nuyorican (New York Puerto Rican) of Taino, Boriquan, and African descent.

If most of us, as Africans, had the knowledge of our ancestors, we could say Fulani, Senegalese and Welsh descent, etc. But the majority of our ancestors got jack and forced into slavery, so black (or African American) it is…

LOL – Clinton sort of admits to poisoning the economic well, but blames Bush for not monitoring and correcting the situation. I can still remember some of the obvious BS that Clinton spewed during his debates with Bush.

Congratulations to the winner!!! Another POC representing in the 09. Her dad, her spelling coach, was so proud every time she was up. I don't know how they do it. The only word I knew was neufchatel because I eat so much of it.

co-sign... That is the point that I was trying to make. There is a college program called "Call Me Mister" at Clemson University that offers free tuition to black men interested in being school teachers. It appears that they are working to expand the program to additional campuses.

if we want change in our our inner-city school systems we need more young and intelligent Blacks to get in the teaching proffession that are willing to work in inner city and rural area schools b/c we can't expect others to go all out when it comes to educating our youngsters….and I agree that this article is trying to imply that the top educators are white if that were the case our kids would be doing much better in schools b/c the majority of teachers in this country are white females…..and yes a lot of public schools are acutually WORST then they were before integration

Found some stuff for ya.... and me. All right, TOTALLY stumbled over it.

Clarissa Pinkola Estes - a bit on Sotomayor & the designation 'hispanic.' Oopsss.

Culture Kitchen - jus' go! http://culturekitchen.com/

And got this little list from CK above.

I forgot Big Tent Democrat at Talk Left is Puerto Rican; he's an attorney, so that's the context I think of him in.

Then there's Carlos in D.C. - he has quite a take on Sotomayor.

Then I read this daily - The Sanctuary. Scroll down a bit, a smidgen, and there are two posts on Sotomayor. I forget about places like The Sanctuary because I'm there in relation to justice.

Now you know how I feel. I mean, damn, take the ones on the news shows on Telemundo and Univision – they all speak English. I know that there must be Puerto Rican politicians in NEW YORK – haven't seen any. I mean, it's been goddamn ridiculous watching this bullshit unfold without someone Latino to put that shyt in check.

That Kennyi was a cutie-pie. Now Tim, he was more blunt – “what's it mean?” No please – self-conscious and nerdy. Those two girls were absolutely Lovely! Kavya & Aishwarya (had to look for her name, everywhere). Kyle was jus' too cute.

That Kavya's father was just too cool & collected. I am beyond impressed!
