Yes, he's my Brother...not biologically, but the "brotherhood" of black men born in the 40's in the deep south of America. We are the fruit of the tree of affirmative action .
We brothers come from the same southern womb, our life stories are interwoven, our achievments and failures have been well doucumented, our paths, while divergent, have been mostly succesesful, as the vast majority of us have gotten to our 6th decade in pretty good shape. So much so, we're either into or contemplating our next move in a life our forebearers couldn't have dreamed of.

While some of my Brothers are digging in at their chosen craft, others have found themselves in a position sit back and do little, while some of the more energetic are busy reinventing themselves and finding a second life.

That's why I'm writing my brother Clarence with some brotherly suggestions.

Quite often in our lives we find ourselves in the middle of controversial conversations or actions.Sometimes in the heat of the moment we make or engage in off the cuff statements or shoot from the lip behavior that doesn't always prove to be true or pan out as we may have thought it would.
I have, and I'm sure many here have as well.

On occasion, our first thoughts or reactions prove to be correct, but sometimes we're just flat wrong.

I think many were a little hasty in their condemnation of Roland Burris.

Since well before the stolen election of 00, I have asked repeatedly why people ( the press in particular) refused to take a close look at GWB. Like others, I didn't know a lot about him, other than he was GHWB's first failure at parenthood.
Sure, I was pretty much aware that,but for nepotism this guy would be just another loser. But what struck me most about him and his promotion as some sort of moral christian was laughable.
As a strong advocate against the death penalty, I had watched with amazement at the speed and wreckless way he was executing people in Texas...

This, just in on Reuters....hard to say whether it's factual or a diversion.

Lest progressives get caught up in what is sure to be, an ongoing "Katrina" all the time, infotainment cycle for the next several weeks or months, we should be using this time to craft a message for the 06 elections that's based on the failures of the " conservative " movement, and how it has hurt this country in every aspect.
The list of those failures is extensive and has touched every American in one way or another. This election should become an indictment of conservative politics and those who practice it. Read More

I remember during the Clinton " wars " the Secret Service was a major player in the keeping of records of who came and went at the WH.
So far, I haven't seen anything that mention them or their take on this affair.

Wouldn't they have concerns about the security breech ????? Seems this would fall into their realm of responsibility.

Seems to me , Rep Slaughter and others should be able to demand their records of exactly who authorized Gannon/Gluckert to have a pass in a phony name.

Just curious.....
