Cindy Sheehan has formally anounced she is removing herself from the anti-Bush-anti-war-anti-American wing of the Democrat Party.
She's bitter over the fact that Democrats didn't fall in line under her demands. She feels betrayed because Democrats, having used her to gain power, now refuse to "get out of Iraq NOW". She's burned through most of the peace-cash she made during her short career as a professional malcontent, and is looking for buyers of the 'peace house'.  Last we heard, the peace house, located in Crawford, Texas, was in turmoil as funds were absconded with...or spent on trivialities. At least those are some of the claims we heard gossiped, by some intimitely involved with the funds.
Cindy proudly proclaims that her son Casey, died for absolutely nothing, not even a solid career for his mom.
Cindy will be back once she realizes her new life is just as poor and dreary now as it was before she became the well-paid face of hate on the left.
------------------------------------------------
Cho Seung-Hui, the mass murderer at Virginia Tech, sent a package of poo to NBC, in between his killings. The poo consisted of photos, video clips, and rambling words of self-absorbed crazed hate.
"Experts" are now trying to make sense of the senseless. But in a nutshell, Hui was living in a nutshell of his own making. He obviously came to a conclusion that since nobody cared that he detested the way others lived, he'd simply take their lives. In some ways Hui comes across as the perfect leftist, who was willing to take his class war with the rich into the classrooms, containing, he believed, rich spolied hedonistic young folks.
Hui spouted a bunch of hooie. No doubt he believed what he spouted. And no doubt "experts" will find troubled times in his life all the way back as a kid. But the fact is that millions have less than perfect upbringings. Millions "get wronged". Millions do not obtain firearms with the intent of creating a massacre.
Hui mentioned the "martyrs", those punks who went on self-indulgent rampages at Columbine. We won't recite their names here, as punks describes them as well as anything.
What is it about human rationality that compells some to have compassion or sadness for the killers in these situations?
Didn't Hitler himself have some sob stories to tell?
"A struggling artist who might have gone in another direction if only his artistry had been properly recognized?"
"A human being who might not have slaughtered 6 million Jews, if only he'd not felt slighted by them in some way?"
" A sad figure who felt there was no way out from taking not only his own life, but that of his best companion, Goldie, his German Shepard?"
"A man who "knew" what many Islamic fascists, European intelectuals, and leftist American academics now "know", that the world is run by a secret Jewish Cabal?"
"A man who was ridiculed early on by the likes of Charlie Chaplan, for all to see. Surely this impacted Hitler's thinking, his emotional makeup, his self esteem."
The difference between Hitler and Hui, or one difference, was that Hitler had more patience. He planned big, he planned long, and the result was 6 million dead Jews, as well as tens of millions of others. Hui, being of the modern age of instant gratification, wanted results NOW.
He wanted the publicity now. He wanted people to be impressed by his actions, in an otherwise dreary existence.
It's nearly all guesswork now. But the refusal of some to accept the reality that evil is a real force in the world, in the lives of individuals, guarantees that Hui will continue mystifying professionals, who always believe horrendus acts can be quantified by tracing them to a "troubled life", or wrongs perpetrated, or society having failed in some way.
Whatever else Hui was, he was a self absorbed, self centered arrogant murderer who conceived, planned, and carried out mass murder.
----------------------------------------
The tragic massacre at Virginia Tech brought out the media juggernaut, fingers pointing, accusations flying.Before reporters, TV personalities, and others cloaked in journalist clothing even knew the basic facts, they were focussing on any applicable blame that could be thrust onto school officials, campus security, and police.
Obsessive attention was paid to the timeline between the first 2 murders, and the second set when 30 others lost their lives to a killer dertermined to take life. Students were interviewed in the first several hours, and peppered with pointed leading questions, as babbling media celebrities tried to milk out a different perspective on what was a senseless meaningless act. "When were you first warned?"......"Were you told to lock down?"....."How is it, do you think, that an individual was allowed to roam freely after having killed two others?"......"What warnings, what type of warnings, and the exact time of each warning?".
Anecdotes now point to "predictive things" about the South Korean killer that now seem all to clear. But, how many teenagers and young adults out there write "disturbing things", are loners, don't smile, don't talk much, and feel isolated? Actually, how many people of all ages can be characterized like that? We suspect there are millions.
In our society we point fingers within moments of a tragedy, of any kind. Whether it's mother nature knocking us down a notch with a Katrina, Saudi Nationals attacking us on 9/11, or some crazed murderer bent on taking life, we're conditioned to
blame just about anything and anyone BUT the cause.
Now some are bringing up our culture, which enabled this crime. With over 200,000,000 guns in private hands, we are told there is a connection somehow between the existing right to gun ownership, and the chosen actions of a hate-filled self-obsessed murderer.
When 9/11 happened, it looked initially as though FINALLY there was something, at least one thing, which was imune from becoming a political football. Within 1 week Tom Dashle was asking the important question: What did the adminstration know and when did it know it? It's gone downhill from there, with witch hunts, conspiracy theories, and the sight of Rosie O Donnell on TV blimpifying that our government was actually involved in the attack. Charlie Sheen's even got into the act, involving himself in a film of lies, distortions, slanders, and accusations. We believe that the reality that a group of radical Islamic fascists who are working actively to destroy us is just to much for Charlie and Rosie to wrap their intellect around. The idea that one individual can walk in and murder 32 people is to much for some to handle. They need to drag in as many blamable outsiders as possible. This may give them hope, that in the future we will somehow prevent it from happening again.
The trend is growing. It's at the point where a common lunatic with dark thoughts can't take any independent act without everyone and everything else getting the "credit".
---------------------------------------
Hip Hop Summit declines its responsibility in encouraging the use of HO, Bitch, Nigger, etc. After all, this is about empowering the po folk, being millionaire "poets", and representatives of the black urban community getting they message out. That message is: "They be a bunch-o-hos wantin mah money!"
When it comes to da cash, they ain't be no scuse what ain't good nuf ta be splainin way the word up.
Callin black bitches Hos is the domain of Black thugs, their producers, and m&m {the token honkey}.
As snoopy doggie said: "I ain't talkin about some African-american women who are betterin themselves, I'm talkin about the Hos in the hood."
White guilt, the primary motivating factor in assigning "poetry status" to the Cop-killin, Ho-usin, Bling-braggin, Prison-glorifyin lyrics of thugs&punks, is in line on the Who Be Ho Controversy.
Hip Hop, a childs ryme game turned into a mass merchandising phenomenom aimed at rebellious middle class white males, continues to present itself as THE BAR for urban Afircan-american kids to aspire to. Given the sharp decline in sales of HipHopRapCrap this year, the hopes of uban youth will surely turn increasingly to the despair advertised as "normal".
-------------------------------
Don Imus gets canned.After getting fired by MSNBC, Imus was fired today by CBS. This is the same CBS making many millions off the terminology of Hip Hop, of which Ho is probably the flagship word. We now expect CBS to continue on with its "concern", and fire all of its recording "artists" who do little more than recite urban gutteralisms, aimed specifically at African-american women and Cops. Not.
Anyone listening to Imus over time, over years, were not shocked by his use of "nappy headed Hos". He's said much more, far worse, over time, over years.
Nobody said squat. Now, all of a sudden, the feigned outrage snowballed, fueled by poverty pimps like al-Sharpton, second rate politicians like Obama, and all the media exceutives who made all that money for all those years, directly from Imus's bitterful humor.
al-Sharpton has said this is only the beginning. He wants to regulate content now. We're waiting for him to campaign against the Hip Hop Crapola, and growing older while we wait. Already, many who've slammed Imus are defending the Hip Hop thugisms, blaming "corporations" for allowing it to happen.
They protect their thugs&punks to the end. This is about how and who is doing the defining of Ho. The degradation of the urban African-american community is perfectly fine, as long as the damage being done is self-inflicted.
Listening to Imus In the Morning could be described by some as one of life's guilty pleasures. One needed to wade through tedious minutes and sometimes half-hours to get to the few nuggets-o-joy. As listeners, we might have cringed on occasion, even in the privacy of car, as Imus&Co waded through the days stories, celebrities, and scandals. It was always a hit or miss thing. We appreciated the fact that he tried, and succeeded on occasion, to tickle the brain and belly together. That's a rare thing these days.
__________________________
Imus UPDATE: We at the BCB haven't located the docs on it yet, but Imus reportedy claimed: Race relations haven't changed much since '65'.
If he really said this, he should be shamed over his attempt to mitigate HIS guilt by spreading it around.
Most of us do not call African-americans Hos, nappy headed Hos, the N word, or any of the other inflamatory names. We still think Imus should stop already with the sloppy kisses being given to Sharpton and others. Sharpton's looking to incease his own pop-stature at the expense of Imus and the Rutgers athletes.
But Imus should stop trying to drag the rest of us into his emabarrassment as well. His personality, his radio show format, is the reason he's being pummled at the moment, NOT some racial sickness with society.
----------------------------------------
Don Imus, long time regional radio talent out of New York City, was simply doing what he does on his show Mon-Fri when he referred to a group of African-americans as:
'nappy-headed-hos.'
Don's now felt compelled to play down to al Sharpton's holier-than-thou banter. Al, a likely target of Don's biting humor, took Imus through the entire episode, forcing Imus to pay tribute, underserved respect to Sharpton, and hitting all the PC points that celebrities are forced to do when caught in the open using words, comments, and phrases that most of us average pedestrians {of all races, religions, and creeds} use.
Imus In The Morning is long on irreverence, somewhat shorter on incisive commentary, and downright stubby in its appreciation for polite pc conversation. Some compare Imus to Howard Stern. Nothing could be further from the truth. Imus MIGHT be for graduates/dropouts from the Stern School Of Protuberances & Disgusting Bodily Functions, but is levels above Stern's fondness for jokes fit for early-teen males.
Perhaps Don stepped over some line. We at the BCB don't believe so. The line for Don's always been something to step over. We wish him well, with an early exit off the white guilt train to nowhere.
---------------------------------------
One Huffington-blogger's attempt to ridicule the "power of blogging", while blogging about it.
Blogging, a useful and sometimes important hobby, is being criticized for its unbridled power, and praised as the new power-of-the-people these days.
Blogging {high-tech slang for the online form of more or less continuous op-eds by one and all}, is a wonderful thing, freeing participants from the strict diet of spoonfed Mainstrean Media biases. Blogging's used for everything from recipie sharing, to U.S. servicemen documenting their experiences and thoughts. It's used by politicians, political hacks, and political junkies. It's used by Corporations seeking to market new products, ideas, and interests. In a society that's lost much of its sense of community as we've become more self-contained in our castles, blogging helps to establish new connections with others, both friend and foe.
Blogging's power lies not so much in the value of its content as it does the power of it as a tool, enabling participants to bypass the headline news services. It's no wonder that the most oppresive countries on earth cease or otherwise restrict, control, and censure bloggings.
When listening to some now complaining about blogs having somehow become a danger to politicians getting their message out, we here at the BCB think of China, Iran, Venezuela, and other Democrat Partners For Peace. The rulers of these countries recognize the danger to their grip on power by a free exchange of ideas, complaints, histories, and beliefs. Some in this country have grasped the true threat to business as usual here from the blogs. It's one thing when a blog ridicules Pres. Bush for "lying about Iraq", quite another when it reminds citizens of the recent history of a Hillary. This is now interfering with controlling the message. Politicians can no longer simply spout off rehearsed positions, all being controlled by a media juggernaut which has no incentive to be fair and balanced in presentation, without being responded to.
Politicians of both sides are starting to realize that blogging cuts both ways. They can't simply control perception anymore the way it used to be done.
We're wondering just how hard it is, for someone who claims to adhere to a set of beliefs, to defend those beliefs, even when confronted by citizens spouting off?
Politicians have gotten used to the practice of saying one thing, then doing another, with no way for average voters to confront the hypocrisy. Voting FOR our efforts in Iraq while speachifying endlessly about the need, then denying responsibility several years later is ripe fruit for bloggers. This type of thing now has the lock-steppers all bent out of shape over the ramifications.
Is NO politician safe? Not even the good, sympathetic, caring, selfless Democrats?

Rosie O'Donnell no cultural icon, but certainly a symptom of a cultural disease, blimpified on the VIEW that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was innocent.
 Blimpifying further, Rosie accused the U.S. {us} of torturing Khalid Sheikh Mohammed into a false confession.
Rosie's long been a slab-o-bacon in the side of American culture. She actually believes what she belches, but her primary aim is to keep herself in the news with outrageous comments, thereby keeping herself in the news.
She is quickly becoming like bin Laden, or Iranian president Amahdinejihad, making so many claims and accusations one after the other that she will soon run out of ways to shock.
A naked spread in Farming TodayTM may be in the works.
Her long running feud with Donald Trump, a spat BOTH of them love as a way to keep their pop-profiles high, has revealed what many have known for a long while. She's a  for publicity. Her weight's got nothing to do with it. Her white trash sensibilities have nothing to do with it. Her blimpifying ways are IT. Ever since she quit her talk show, then proceeded to slam all those stars she'd showcased, loved, and adored, she's gone out of her way to show us all what's churning in her belly. It's not any prettier on the inside.
At least Rosie's doing the ROSIE SHOW she's always wanted to do. The World According To Rosie may spin off from the VIEW. We at the BCB hope so. The VIEW is far to important to shut-ins in hospitals who have 5 TV channels to choose from. Rosie is also a role model to the twisted. Even the twisted need an outlet. And it may keep our society safer, from them and Rosie.
_______
Speaking of Donald Trump,  he's at it again. This time his efforts at gaining non-stop pop-media coverage is on the back of Pres. Bush. Trump, who's never done much more than inherit millions from daddy, then ride various real estate booms in the upward real estate valuations of New York City, stepped out of his area of expertise, which is primarily that of being a cultural pop-media figure. One of his latest expressions of matured dignity, wisdom , and good sense {beside his child-like exchanges between him and Rosie}, is the upcoming big time wrestling match, between his hair and Vince McMahon's. We here at the BCB don't care about his win or loss, or about his endless pronouncements from the low end of the cultural scale. We also don't care how many times one of his companies is threatened with bankruptcy. Further, we couldn't care less about the number of 2nd rate trophy wives he burns through.
There IS a reason the BCB has refused to mention Trump "news" up till now. He's simply irelevant. He fails to meet the newsworthy status of an Anna Nicole Smith or a Dennis Kucinich, or a press release from 7-11 announcing a new line of corn dogs.
If you'd like to know more about Trump's thots, there are currently many copies of one of his self-promotionals, available on Amazon for $.01 each.
Once read, they could always be resold for $01.
We wish Trump well with his hair-off. And a half a head of hair grows back quicker than a whole head. We also wish him the time to get some education on the world outside of back room deals dealing with inflated property. He might start with a 12th grade class on International Affairs.
Added March 18, 2007:
Trump also built some casino in Atlantic City, is failing at The Apprentice, and is still particpating in the Tantrums With Rosie, his equal in every way, except she likely has a greater liquidity.

Journalists in Afganistan were perplexed when they were ordered not to take photos and video in the immediate aftermath of the recent bombing attempt on Vice Pres. Dick Cheney's visit there. The perplextion is expected to turn into outrage and cries of censorship. After all, this was a PUBLIC HIGHWAY!
Journalists working in western-controlled areas of conflict have become accustomed publishing everything, regardless of the potential harm to our troops.
Underfunded Radical Islamists resort to things like google-earth, and other freely available info for intelligence purposes. We believe military leadership may be concerned about the assessment of damage from the attack that the Talabani/alQaeda could obtain through photos and video. If nothing else, they need a constant influx of new media for their recruitment sites, DVD sales, and family photo albums.
-------------------------
The Anna Nicole Smith drama has turned into a black comedy.
 Howard Stern hasn't changed a bit from his Pre-Anna-Death days. He's still cuttin deals, makin a livin, and doin the best he can.
According to sources, Howard's been pressuring Larry Birkhead, presumed father of little Dannielyn Smith, to cut Howard in on future income, wealth, and the normal perks that come with being a leach on someone with bucks. Howard put in his time, paid his dues, and it's time for the real payoff.
Anna's demise barely slowed down Howard's deal making. He's just quick on his feet, in the face of this tagedy. No doubt he was concerned that others would "make it" if he didn't, so he, with little Dannielyn's future welfare in mind, pressed ahead lining up entertainment deals left and right. Anna's death is now just a bump in the road in an otherwise continuous non-stop tale of Fame, Sex, Money, Fame, Money, and Money....just your average running Media blitz.
It's thought that Larry Birkhead actually loves little Dannielyn. Any accompanying greed can be excused as long as he makes the effort to love, cherish, protect, educate, and love love love this little girl who's likely got a tough road ahead. The media will be following Dannielyn's every move for years to come. It would be better if Howard K Stern's penchant for deal-making is eliminated from Dannielyn's future.
Let Howard 'love' her from a distance. let Dannielyn find out about Howard from books, magazines, future police reports. Then, when she's an adult, she can choose for herself if she wants to rekindle the soul-for-a-buck relationship with Mr. Stern.

Is rap music getting its due, finally?Sales of rap musice are declining rapidly.
Livin a life large, larger than many of us thought it ever would, longer than we thought, rap is on the decline.
Rap, Hip Hop went mainstream some time ago. The sight of East Europeans imitating the sights and sounds of 'life in the hood' provides a sorely needed chuckle.
But like Disco in the seventies, Rap became a place where R&B was hiddin. Our collective opinion at the BCB has long been that Rap was overblown as a musical form, just a place where R&B could hang out, survivin on a slender thread, till the day came when real R&B made its regular cyclical breakout, reaching whole new generations of fans.
Rap, Hip Hop...we're far to unhip to know enough to make the distinctions. But we were amazed how long 'killin cops', bragging about treating one's "Ho' with disdain, and the total glorification and glamorization of a 'life of drugs, prison, and murder', became the driving force behind runaway record {CD} sales.
It's always been claimed that these musical art forms were only a REFLECTION of real life in the hood. But the art form became a blockbuster industry as rebellious middle class sububan white kids with disposable income latched onto the music and words as their own. They became an untintentional parody of themselves. Even Al Jankowitz couldn't do a better job of self-satirizing than the genuine articles.
Internal polling shows that many BCBrs actually took notice on occasion when creativity might turn a rap song into something unique. American music has long been a wide mix of tastes, like our foods, religions, vehicles, clothing, political views, and traditions. The current decline in Rap and Hip Hop provides hope that those talented musicians with new ideas, now working away in obscurity may break out and set us back on a course which
gives us the variety we crave.
R&B, R&B Pop,Rock Pop, and all the variations, sub-variations, etc. aren't dead. They've been on life-support in small clubs. They will rise again as they always do. Many R&B musicians currently earnin a livin in the Ho-hatin, Cops-killin, Drug-glorifyin, Prison-invitin art form will no doubt welcome the change with relief.
-------------------------------------
A WIN!!!!!!
Stolen from Drudge
As predicted here at the BCB, alGore won an Oscar for his Inconvenient Truth.
evil incarnate
al was given the coronation he was robbed of over 6 years ago. The love for al eclipsed that given to Hillary, who had her own coronation going on over in San Fran in front of different Democrat audience. al's no doubt was backed up by deeper pockets.
al continues to be coy, or refreshingly dishonest about any potential dreams he might have to run again.
He's already won once after all. and he's made the bucks as a result, skipping the mundane day to day work of protecting us from Islamic Radicals.
But as Bill Clinton proved, the aphrodisiactic power of the Presidency is imense. al may feel himself sucked into the fight. He is still highly favored among unions and the Holywood crowd. and we're only half a dozen scandals away from a potential Hillary loss.
All speculation is provided only so we here at the BCB don't appear to be complete idiots if Hillary loses in her bid to reign over us. We fully expect her to cajole, theaten and extort her way to the nomination.
--------------------------
Folowing our own ground-breaking prediction, Algore is all the BUZZ for a big win on Oscar Night!
AlGore, the guy who really won in 2000, will be Oscarized Sunday, one way or the other. It's about time his tireless efforts to save mankind from itself were recognized.
My hope is that this will be a stepping stone, to be followed by other baby steps, to be followed by walking upright, to be followed by AlGore changing his mind, and running for the office of Presidents, something he already won anyway.
Imagine, if you will, a world where there is no war with terrorists, it's easy if you try. I did it. Just close your eyes...now think....do you feel it? It's AlGore taking his rightfull place in Jan. 2001. Since then we've eliminated Carbon Dioxide, war, and Republican ideas.
WAKE UP!
Back to reality, it's not to late, not yet. But do you want a warmonger in charge the next time we're attacked, or a proseatic level-headed Teddy Bear who seeks solutions to our problems from the best minds the world has to offer? Just what is it about Republican worldopinionophobia that scares them so?
AlGore has no such fear.
AlGore has no such restraint.
AlGore already knows the layout of the White House.
The answer to our current dilemma is staring us in the face. And it's summed up in one word: AlGore!

---------------------------
Algore is up for an OSCAR this Sunday.
We here at the BCB are predicting a win.
Algore must receive this consolation prize, even if it is 2 elections late.
Algore is expected to crack a couple
more "I lost" jokes, and at least one "But now I won" joke.
After a failed career as a Presidential Candidate, Algore made the decision to go into entertainment. His blockbuster, Inconvenient Truth, made a cool 45 million bucks. It's unknown if this included popcorn receipts. Either way, it's been seen by thousands.
Algore has finally succeeded in removing most of the Clinton-stink. In fact, now that we think of it, Algore had some of his own baggage from that era, but we forgot about that as well. No, now when one thinks of Algore, one thinks Climatologist, Ozone, Global Warming, Movie Star, Movie producer, Movie Mogul, Democrat, Algore, and good old fashion preachin. We still think of internet, since he invented it. But these days, Algore's just a Teddy Bear to the world.
He says he's not running again. Compared to the current crop of candidates, Algore appears downright glamorous. Not as good looking as Obama, but far more experienced.
Sometimes we all imagine a "simple man" in office, someone with no experience, no inside-the-beltway careerism, no hidden agenda, no phoney promises, no deviancies, no pre-conceived notions, someone who's not a lawyer, someone with just plain old middle-american common sense.
They're all holding down jobs. So that forces us to pick from guys who don't. So, as far as these guys go, we'll take Algore over Hillary any day. If it came to Algore and Obama, we might lean towards Obama. We know Algore.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is a fond hope of some that Condoleeza Rice might find it within her to run.
Ms. Rice becoming the first Woman AND African American ever to win the Presidency would send a message to the world. More importantly, it would send a message to ourselves, that we've passed 2 milestones. Throw out the overblown "milestones" of first woman as Speaker or first Gay as a U.S. Rep. Being the first Female AND African American President would be huge. Our country after all does mark our history with milestones, and ones which tend to cause much strife at the time.
Of course this is all non-sensical speculation.
* Condi has stated she's not interested.
* We don't really know her personal views on a host of subjects.
* There is likely a percentage of Republicans who'd never vote for a Woman or Black.
* There is likely a certain number of Democrats who'd never vote for a Woman or Black or Republican.
* She's damaged at the moment, from her association with mistakes made in Iraq.
* The majority of African Americans are assumed to oppose her as being a Black woman who turned her back on the community. And she's a Republican.
* She's single. It's been rumored she wants a family.
A run doesn't seem likely at this time. But what if, as the election draws close, Hillary, together with her loyal Hispanic running mate Gov. Richards, start to consolidate the base, including those angry kids holding signs?
What if the media does what it does best, holding Hillary up as our best hope while trashing Republicans? Wouldn't Condi run for Vice President, much as Dick Cheney did, if she's needed?
We here at the BCB believe a large percentage of African Americans would vote the Republican ticket with Condi on board,
if for no other reason,
to gain another important milestone .
This type of motive IS often trashed in average citizen-conservative circles. It's recited over and over again: "We need the best person there, not some political consideration".
Since when did we really pick "The best person for the job"? These elections are always about compromise. Besides, in the case of Ms. Rice, we have a potential candidate who is far and above most hacks who've run for the Presidency and Vice Presidency , and honorable to boot. When Condi works in the White House, we know she's there to serve with distinction.
more important than the message:
'Republicans are a party of inclusion.....'
would be
'Here is Condoleeza Rice, African American who worked hard and earned everything she accomplished.' 'And look at what she accomplished!'
This would be an amazing example to children in the Black Community. She would be an example to us all, as she is now.
On the selfish side, Condi's pressence on the ticket would do much to stifle the normal liberal bluster over racist bigoted Republicans, permanently.
It's unknown if this is anything she'd even consider.
Political realities make it difficult for her to run for the Presidency. She has been a loyal supporter of Bush policies in Iraq, which means she was there to serve him, thereby serving US. But every attempt would be made, as it already has been, by Dems to stain her stellar reputation. She's been attacked on everything from her hair to her color-in-the-Bush-administration, to her actions on behalf of the 'President who lied to us'. Dems would naturally try to 'Obamaize' her, painting her as a non-Black, inauthentic Black, a Black ungrateful for all those little step-ups they gave her in life. Again, we don't believe African Americans would simply ignore the historical opportunity just to please their self-appointed leaders.
She's only one of the most accomplished individuals to have worked in the White House in recent times, a serious thinker who does her homework and is the definition of professionalism.
We'd like to see her run, and win. Running as Vice President, even as the result of mere political calculation on the part of some strategests, has the potential to drag the endless race debate out of the gutter, and give us a driven
self-motivated patriot.

Jerry Rivers, expressed disgust this morning on Fox&Friends over the Hillary-Obama-Geffen-Dowd flap.
During the Clinton-Lewdinski affair, Jerry did his best
to support Hillary's Vast Republican Conspiracy claims. His show on MSNBC of the time, became Bill Clinton's personal media outlet of denial. Jerry did his best to throw everyone under the bus who ever uttered the slightest negative towards his heros, including any and all women with stories of Bill's ideas on love.
Now that Hillary has the potential to give Jerry the best news source of his life, a medallion on his proud chest, and exclusive stays in the Lincoln Bedroom, Jerry is distressed, as he witnesses how easily it could slip away.
It was of course all about how "Geffen should just keep his mouth shut" and "Obama should stop this" . He stopped just short of Hillary's hypocritical "Stop the Politics Of Personal Destruction"....something Bill and Hillary Clinton are the masters of. Remember Kenneth Star? He was the guy appointed to look into Bill Clinton. Mr. Starr, full of humility and a professional, refused to take the bait day after day as Jerry Rivers and the Clinton defense apparatus did their best to demonize him. and today, Ken starr is still a respected professional while Jerry Rivers is still just Geraldo.
Geraldo, this one-name-wonder of the boob tube, has gone on to bigger and better things. Partially rehabilitated in the eyes of some, through his live stories on FoxNews about how he dodged this bullet or that bullet as he's all decked out in his camo-gear, Geraldo continues to make a career out of reporting, on himself.
Side note: If FoxNews is feeling to much pressure to maintain its #1 status in the cable news outlet niche, they can simply put Geraldo on 2 or 3 times a week blabbing on about the Clintons, and slamming their detractors.

Judge Larry Seidin makes media move!
Judge Larry Seidlin's taken over the Anna Nicole Smith saga. He's clearly trying to obtain the overall facts of EVERYTHING. Rather than wait for grueling months on end, the Judge is giving us, the public, the story now.
The Judge at one point referred to one of the lawyers as "Texas", instead of by name. Howard K Stern gave testimony while looking at his feet. At one point Howie almost lost it when he felt compelled to describe Anna's love for her dead billionare husband. His mind was working full bore at that point, doing it's best to maintain his straight face and voice.
Judge Seidlin was seen bustin one move after the other. If it's true that he's been obsessed in recent months with becoming a TV JUDGE, his phone is likely ringing.
A lawyer in the room known as "Texas" couldn't believe his ears. He obviously believed he was there to argue a simple case about custody of a body. Now he's gotta dig up all kinds of crap having nothing to do with the initial issue.

John Edwards campaign turns to land of cartoons for support. Edwards makes history by being first to bring Presidential politics to Second Life.
***
Is this John's misguided attempt at appeasing the religeous right? There is friction, between himself and conservative Catholics and Protestants who he or his minions occasionaly diss. Perhaps he considers Second Life the next best thing to being born again, minus repenting requirements. If nothing else, John can now state he supports Second Life, putting him on the cutting edge of the next big thing that fails to take off beyond the hype. AlGore invented the internet, but John's found his Second Life. Maybe he'll find solace in that place, living in someone else's hard drive. Maybe his presence is just what's needed, someone to stand up to the land barrons and casino owners who seek to soak up every last Linden, while giving nothing back to the community. Does he support safe cyber sex? Is no one do do anything about being accosted by a guy with a thermal blaster in one hand while he plays with his protuberance in the other? WE simply don't know. And what of those Second Life citizens with nary a linden to their name? Wil they continue to be relegated to Second Class status? These are issues that he'll need to articulate as logged in hours pass. Jose Rote, Second Life resident who's currently bankrolling Edward's foray into the future, pointed out that the Second Life community, while puney compared to other mainstream communities empowered through bytes, is nevertheless very very important as they seem to be smarter, on the cutting edge, trailblazing the way to a time when we can all just sit around, IVs plugged in for nourishment, bedpan at the ready, communicating, planning, loving, and being loved, ALL without so much as a twitch of a muscle. Well, Mr. Rote didn't use those exact words, exactly, but close enough for darts.

Anna Nicole Smith's will FOUND! Howard Stern {yeah I know there's a "K"} is in charge. In fact, the will specifically mentions the omission of future children from the will. THAT sounds suspicious to some, almost as though Howard Stern {with a "K"} literally printed up the will last Tuesday on a sheet of paper that he'd had Anna previously sign. As for any possible notarization, those things don't exactly come from God, so yes it could have been done after the death.

Jimmy Carter  is on a quest to rehabilitate himself. After all the uproar over his recent slip of the mind, he decided to shift his focus to the hungry and the sick of Africa. He hasn't gotten around to blaming Pres. Bush, America, Republicans, etc. for Africa's plight. Maybe he's waiting for poll results first.

The GUARDIAN, a British leftist rag, continuing its attempt to interpret American culture. Their joy over the Chicksie Dicks winning Grammys gave them the opportunity to relink to their previous articles which are full of the typical European ignorant stereotypes which form the backbone of their knowledge of us.
To be fair, the Dicks helped along with these misperceptions during their bruhaha, when among other things they ridiculed country music lovers in general.
It's a cultural thing. England, which thinks so much of its pop-stars that it knights them, surpassed us long ago in elevating its entertainers to revered places of wisdom, moral standing, and all around benchmark of good taste.
The Guardian should stick to what it does best, which is to excuse radical Islamists.
UPDATE: the Chicksie Dicks  still have mud on their faces in the world of country.

What's up with these homeowner's associations? For several years now we see story after story about the latest group which is demanding that U.S. flags be taken down.
The generally known reason for homeowner's associations is to help insure a certain set of standards are abided by in the appearance of units in order to help maintain property values. What may not be generally known, except to those homeowners who find themselves locking horns, is that a number of the boards that control these associations, are controlled by people who have absolutely nothing more worthwhile to do than micro manage the lives of others.
We at BCB have had many unscientific discussions with members of these associations over the years, and one thing stands out. There really ARE many people who have absolutely nothing more worthwhile to do than micro manage the lives of others.
Why can't we all agree that flying the flag  is NOT akin to painting the fence blue, parking one's recently totalled Pinto at the front curb, or planting weeds and pink flamingos on your lawn, as your lawn, instead of a lawn.
Why can't we all get along, at least on this one thing?

Anna Nicole Smith's last shot at fame fetches a price of $500,000!
 She was a star in every current meaning of the word.
UPDATE: Get ready for one looong disgusting display of humanity at its most disgustiness. The focus here will be all about the millions left by Anna's dead husband. The cast of characters include a widow and her dead husband , 2 males claiming fatherhhod of Anna's baby girl , Zsa Zsa Garbor's prince of a husband implying fatherhood, Anna's living Mom, various lawyers hired at different stages of the game, oh....and there IS the baby girl, in whose interest all the above are fighting to protect, nurture, educate, NOT.
Actually, the jury's still out on Anna's Mom, but to date she appears to be the one person who's not bonkers with greed.
And what about the greed of the media, who'll milk this thing for all its worth, then hound the girl into insanity as she grows up?

One more tale proving fact is stranger than fiction, concerns the Astronaut Lisa Nowak  This is one story that's prompted a bit of sympathy from BCBs for Lisa. Not that we feel she should skate on this at all. In fact the need to make her pay a price for this is what makes us sad. She busted her hump at school, overachieving, making it through astronaut training....itself a grueling process. And now she's esentially thrown it all away. Plus she has kids. We're predjudiced here. If this had been simply another societal failure getting in trouble, we admit we'd not have felt much of a pang.
She seems to have planned the "mission" as she would have done before a trip to space. Lucky for the intended target she failed miserably. Being full of human weaknesses ourselves, our sympathy will turn to ridicule if her tale turns into one of Oprah ratings boosts, book deals, and blaming society.

Gay rights groups get bent out of shape over some stupid candy bar ad. These guys need to get a life. The majority of Americans still view homosexuality in negative terms {distastefull, even disgusting} , although the majority does not favor restricting the freedoms of of those who wish to associate with whom, or whatever {animals and minors exempted} they choose to associate with. This candy ad outrage is just indicative of what they really want, which is full and complete acceptance of their chosen form of sexual practices. Homophobia is an intellectually lazy description of what really is a moral stand against the practice of homosexuality. Deal with it.

San Fran mayor Gavin Newsom....the one with the mouth, caught with a lapse in judgement. The lapse occured when he betrayed long time 'friend' and political advisor Alex Tourk, by sleeping with Tourk's wife, herself being plagued by a substance abuse problem. It's unclear to what extent this will bump up his poll numbers in San Fransisco, home of the enlightened.
UPDATE: Gavvy Newsom is now taking the rehab route as a way to garner sympathy and neutralize any fallout from having betrayed Alex Trourk. As politicians do these days, he claims this will not intefere with his duties as mayor, which evidently include betraying old friends.
