Democrats in Michigan and Florida

Help me understand the issue(s) here...The democratic party lead by Howard "Screamer" Dean worked with the super delegates of both of those states to come up with the election calendar. The MI/FL super delegates decided to rebuke the party and do what they wanted to do any way, hold their primary when they wanted to and not when the party stated...

Those super delegates were not concerned with the voices of their people then, why now are they concerned? Is it because Hilary Clinton is not the bright shining star she needs to be to win the democratic parties nomination?

How hypocritical! Right is right, even when it doesn't suit you. Do the right thing always, no matter what.

If I Were Running For President

If I were running for president ...
1. I'd clean out all of the skeletons in my closet and share them with the public so they wouldn't be surprised
2. I'd get my head examined b/c it takes a special person to want to be president
3. I'd check all mirrors and friends to make sure that I and they are up for the challenge
4. I'd get in shape; campaigning takes a toll on your mind body and soul
5. I'd honestly answer all questions and avoid misrepresentation of nuances/facts
6. I'd keep my word no matter what and if I had to back pedal then I would be honest about the events that led to such
7. I'd play it clean and not get into mud slinging, the facts are scary enough no need to distort
8. I'd surround myself with a diverse bunch of brains and a few jerks just to keep me grounded and to help me see what things in a different way
9. I'd make sure I prepare myself by getting in touch with what makes America America
10. I'd become a student of the world, so I'd be comfortable with people and cultures beyond our borders

But, alas I am not - I'm blogging (smile)

Quality Professional Homeboys/girls

I've always maintained that if I was ever rich/wealthy I would make my best friends official professional homegirls/boys. Why? Not to laugh at my jokes, but to be my mirrors and true friends - keep me honest, stop me from making a fool of myself, and falling on a sword for me if they have to. I'd give them official job titles and put them on the payroll. I'm sure it's no fun being rich/wealthy and wanting to hang out with your BFF or BFM and having them tell you, "I can't go to Paris for lunch with you today ... I don't have enough vacation days, " how frustrating is that. Professional homegirls/boys with real jobs would really put a kink in your spontaneous plans. That said, I'm all for them, but they must be real.

I'll tell you what Kwame, - Detroit Mayor, and Spitzer - the NY Governor did not have...professional homeboys/girls 1. to keep them honest 2. to watch their back and 3. keep them out of trouble.
