Now we are on the verge of economic collapse because the poor have been pushed and squeezed as much as possible. How on earth could the entire country be duped into trusting anyone who carries the last name Bush after the SNL scandal in 1988.

My mother always taught us to live our lives with no regrets. I live my life believing that she looks down at me and smiles and thinks ” Job well done”.

Now here’s my low blow for the week. Is Governor Palin’s 17 year-old knocked up daughter a result of her mother’s inability to multi-task? Namely running the state of Alaska and being aware of what her children were doing?

It’s about inclusion. Inclusion and feeling like we are a part of something bigger. Something that we thought was better. We don’t feel included. From all appearances, it seems that at least in the political arena, it’s going to be more of the same for us, regardless of who is in office.

You will vote for white men year after year after year–and are threatening to vote for another one just to make a point–but can’t bring yourself to vote for a black man, whose political views come much closer to your own, in all likelihood, than do the views of any of the white men you’ve supported before.

White privilege is when you can get pregnant at seventeen like Bristol Palin and everyone is quick to insist that your life and that of your family is a personal matter, and that no one has a right to judge you or your parents, because “every family has challenges,” even as black and Latino families with similar “challenges” are regularly typified as irresponsible, pathological and arbiters of social decay.

I spent a great deal of the day gathering yard signs and bumper stickers so there wasn’t alot of time that I blogged, checked email, anything computer related.

Believe it or not, I’m really trying to stay impartial during this election season. I honestly, hadn’t chosen a side in this madness. I thought it would be better for me to wait and hear the issues, see the debates, and then determine who I thought would be the better to run our country. Impartiality, [...]

I had lost sight of the idea of poverty. I had forgotten the very lesson that Ramadan is to teach us. We have hunger by choice. There are those who do not. We have a warm comfortable bed. Others are not so fortunate.

Basically, what I want is what a majority of folks that I know want. Please stop trying to legislate morality, at least my morality. Why are we fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan? For freedom of choice, for democracy, right? If we truly believe that a theocratic government is wrong for those nations, then why are we trying to impose one here? Some things will never make sense to me.
