This truly says it all......

What if John McCain were a former president of the Harvard Law Review?                   What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating class?              What if McCain were still married to the first woman he said 'I do' to?                             What if Obama were the candidate who left his first wife after she no  longer measured up to his standards?                                             
                                                       
                   What if Michelle Obama were a wife who not only became addicted to pain killers, but acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?                                          
        What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?                                               
                     What if Obama were a member of the Keating-5?                                             
                       What if McCain were a charismatic, eloquent speaker?                                               
                                                       
                                        If these questions reflected reality, do you really believe the election numbers would be as close as they are?                                                   
                                                       
         This is what racism does. It covers up, rationalizes and minimizes positive qualities in one candidate and emphasizes negative  qualities in another when there is a color difference.                                            
                                                       
                                     You are The Boss... which team would you hire?                                                  
                With America facing historic debt, 2 wars, stumbling health care, a weakened dollar, all-time high prison population, mortgage crises, bank foreclosures, etc.

                Now, which team are you going to hire ?

PS: What if Barack Obama had an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter....

A little boy goes to his dad and asks, 'What
is Politics?'
Dad says, 'Well son, let me try to explain it
this way:
I am the head of the family , so call me The
President.
Your mother is the administrator of the money,
so we call her the Government.
We are here to take care of your needs, so we
will call you the People.
The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class.
And your baby brother, we will call him the Future.
Now think about that and see if it makes sense.'
So the little boy! Goes off to bed thinking
about what Dad has said.
Later that night, he hears his baby brother
crying, so he gets up to check on him.
He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper.
So the little boy goes to his parents' room
and finds his mother asleep.
Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the
nanny's room Finding the door locked, he peeks in the
keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny.
He gives up and goes back to bed.
The next morning, the little boy says to his
father, 'Dad, I think I understand the concept of
politics now.'
The father says, 'Good, son, tell me in your
own words what you think politics is all about.'
The little boy replies,
The President is screwing the Working Class
while the Government is sound asleep.

The People are being ignored and the Future is in deep BLEEP.

A white man asked his black friend, 'Are you voting for Barack Obamajust because he's black'? The black man responded by saying, why not?
Hell, in this country men are pulled over everyday just cause they'reblack, passed over for promotions just cause they're black, considered to be criminals just cause they're black, and there are going to be thousands of you who won't be voting for him just cause he's black!
However, you do not seem to have a problem with that!

This country was built with the sweat and whip off the slaves black, and now a descendent of those same slaves has a chance to lead the same country, where we weren't even considered to be people, we weren't allowed to be educated, drink from the same water fountains, eat in the same restaurants, or even vote, so you damn right I'm going to vote for him! But it's not just because he's black, but because he is hope, he is change, and he now allows me to understand when my grandson says he wants to be president when he grows up, it is not a fairy tale but a short term goal, because he sees, understands, and knows, he can achieve, withstand, and do anything just because he's black!

I Believe...
That sometimes when I'm angry

I have the right to be angry,

but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I Believe...
That maturity has more to do

with what types of experiences you've had

and what you've learned from them

and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

I Believe...
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.

sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

 A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband is not in bed.
She puts on her robe and goes downstairs to look for him.
She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a hot cup of coffee in front of him.
He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall.
She watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee.
What's the matter, dear?' she whispers as she steps into the room,
'Why are you down here at this time of night?
The husband looks up from his coffee, 'It's the
20th Anniversary of the day we met'.
She can't believe he has remembered and starts to tear up.
The husband continues, 'Do you remember 20 years ago
when we started dating? I was 18 and you were only 16,' he says solemnly.
Once again, the wife is touched to tears thinking that her
husband is so caring and sensitive.
Yes, I do' she replies.
The husband pauses. The words were not coming easily. 'Do you remember
when y our father caught us in the back seat of my car?'
'Yes, I remember' said the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him.
The husband continued. 'Do you remember when he shoved
the shotgun in myface and said, 'Either you marry my daughter or I will
send you to prison for 20 years?'
'I remember that, too' she replied softly.
He wiped another tear from hi s cheek and said I would have gotten out today.'

A 12 year-old boy who bullied a fellow classmate and stole his iPod will have to cut the grass this summer at his school. That's the punishment his school doled out. His mother had something else in mind.

Believing that her son, Montavious Lewis, needed something more severe to get the message through, Bertreice Dixon decided that an afternoon at a busy intersection spent ringing a bell and wearing a sandwich board bearing his transgressions would be more effective. The get-up also included a plastic hat with the letter "D," for dumb, a description of his actions, she says.

According to Dixon, Montavious was trying to be "tough in front of his friends" and she says she is trying to save him from going "down a road where [he's] gonna end up in prison or dead."

She insists that it is love that motivates her: "This right here is showing him how much I love him, and hopefully he'll take it into consideration and don't do it again."Far be it from me to question her love, but watching the news footage is disconcerting, to say the least. On camera, Montavious shuffles up and down a grassy area with his sign as the camera captures him discreetly wiping his tears. Compounding his humiliation, the local Arkansas news station interviewed drivers as they passed by. They also interviewed Montavious. My heart nearly broke in two hearing his voice crack during his interview as he tried to keep from crying. It's very hard to watch.

But it is harder to be a mom scared that her child is in danger of becoming a criminal statistic?

Is this tough love or psychological abuse? Is her punishment excessive or does she know her child, his history and environment better than we do? Is she a heartless authoritarian mom or a champion of the ethos of personal responsibility?

It was only a few months ago that I wrote about the third graders who were plotting to kill their teacher. In that column, I called for parents, not schools to be the front line of discipline and character building. I stated that in order for schools to do their job of educating our kids, parents first needed to do theirs. Many parents and even more teachers weighed in, agreeing that too many parents are absent, disengaged and unwilling to discipline their kids.

When we hear the latest child crime story or tragedy, we rightfully ask "Where were the parents?" Well, this parent is pro-active and engaged and like most moms, she feels like she knows her child and what he will respond to best.

The truth is, my parenting style couldn't be more different. I pride myself on honoring my kids' dignity and I go to pains to make sure that their punishments (which consist of either time-outs or the restriction of a cherished privilege) is appropriate for the transgression. When I do enforce a punishment (i.e. everyone gets a treat after church except the child who misbehaved) I can assure you that it hurts me to see those tears more than it hurts the child who didn't get to go to Dairy Queen. I'm sure it was not easy for Bertreice to do this and I commend her for taking responsibility for her child's actions. On the other hand, I can't help but think that her choice of punishment is too harsh and probably counterproductive.

This situation is a tough call. My heart goes out to Montavious, but it also goes out to his mom. I have not walked in her shoes -- or her neighborhood.

I think she is sincere in trying to protect her child from a life of crime and she is willing to go to extraordinary lengths to that end. If I can't relate to her choice of punishment, I can at least relate to that.

What do you think, is this good parenting or abuse?

A woman came home, screeching her car into the driveway, and ran into the house.
She slammed the door and shouted at the top of her lungs, 'Honey, pack your
bags. I won the lottery!'

The husband said, 'Oh my God! What should I pack, beach stuff or mountain
stuff?' 'Doesn't matter,' she said. 'Just get out.'

BERLIN (Reuters) - German police are investigating a couple after they offered their eight-month-old son for sale on internet auction site eBay.

Renee Beck, a police spokesman in the Bavarian town of Krumbach west of Munich, said on Saturday the 23-year-old woman told them it was only a joke.

But he said police were nevertheless continuing their investigation and the baby was put in state custody.

"She says it was a joke," he said. "That's not yet clear. Detectives are investigating on suspicion of child trafficking."

A number of people called authorities across Germany after seeing the offer on eBay that read: "Baby -- collection only. Offer my nearly new baby for sale because it cries too much. Male, 70 cm long."

The opening bid was 1 euro ($1.57). There were no bidders during the two hours before the offer was removed, police said.

The mother was quoted in Bild newspaper saying: "It was only a joke. I just wanted to see if someone would make an offer. They've taken my son to hospital and I've got to take psychiatric tests next week."

Do you think this was really a joke?

One Wish Genie

A woman rubbed a bottle and out popped a genie. The amazed woman asked if she got three wishes. The genie said: 'I'm a one wish-genie. So.... what  will it be?'

The woman did not hesitate. She said, 'I want peace in the Middle East.  See this map? I want these countries to stop fighting with each other and want all the Arabs to love the Jews and America and vice-versa.  It will bring about world peace and harmony.

 The genie looked at the map and exclaimed, 'Lady, be reasonable. These countries have been at war for thousands of years. I'm out of   shape after being in a bottle for five hundred years. I'm good but not THAT good!    I don't think it can be done. Make another wish and please be reasonable.

 The woman thought for a minute and said, 'Well, I've never been able to find the right man. You know - one that's considerate and fun,likes to cook and help with the house cleaning, is great in bed, and gets along With my family, doesn't watch sports all the time, and is faithful. That is What I wish for...a good man. '

 The genie let out a sigh and said.........'Let me see the BLEEP map again.'

Bush In Hell

One day in the future, George Bush has a heart attack and dies. He immediately goes to hell, where the devil is waiting for him.

"I don't know what to do," says the devil. "You are on my list, but I have no room for you. You definitely have to stay here, so I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I've got some folks here who weren't quite as bad as you. I'll let one of them go, but you have to take their place.

I'll even let YOU decide who leaves." Bush thought that sounded pretty good, so the devil opened the first room.

In it was Ronald Reagan and a large pool of water. He kept diving in and surfacing empty handed. Over and over and over. Such was his fate in hell. "No, George said. "I don't think so. I'm not a good swimmer and I don't think I could do that all day long."

The devil led him to the next room. In it was Richard Nixon with a sledge hammer and a room full of rocks. All he did was swing that hammer, time after time after time. "No, I've got this problem with my shoulder. I would be in constant agony if all I could do was break rocks all day," commented George.

The devil opened a third door. In it, Bush saw Bill Clinton, lying on the floor with his arms staked over his head, and his legs staked in a spread eagle pose. Bent over him was Monica Lewinsky, doing what she does best. Bush took this in disbelief and finally said, "Yea, I can handle this." The devil smiled and said "OK, Monica, you're free to go." Sorry guys I couldn't help myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
