Just For Now-Nancy Wilson-One of My Favorites By Her

Why must it always be forever?
Why can't it be like just for now?
Lets just enjoy our sweet endeavour
and be clever just for now.
Forget that one of these tommorows
There's gonna be a price to pay
And though the future may hold some sorrows
we'll remember yesterday.
And so we've had the fling
and we've done most everything
yet, we'll remember
we will remember
that it was just
for now

Rain Sometimes

Nancy Wilson

Rain sometimes
Money down the drain, sometimes
Reason to complain, sometimes
That's how it'll be
But there'll be something, sometimes
Lobster flown from Maine, sometimes
We'll ride the gravy train, sometimes
Just you wait and see

We may be stranded in the rain, sometimes
Dream our dreams in vain, sometimes
Lose more than we gain, sometimes
But this I guarantee
Love is not for sometimes
Love is for all time
For all time, for you and me

We may be stranded in the rain, sometimes
Lose more than we gain, sometimes
But this I guarantee
Love is not for sometimes
Love is for all time
For all time, for you and me

For you and me
For you and me

I've Been Searching For This Song So Long--Zoomin'

Lionel Richie

I may be just a foolish dreamer
But I don't care
'Cause I know my happiness is waiting out there somewhere
I'm searching for that silver lining
Horizons that I've never seen
Oh I'd like to take just a moment and dream my dream
Dream my dream
Zoom
I'd like to fly afr away from here
Where my mind is fresh and clear
And I'd find the love that I long to see
Where everybody can be what they wanna be
I'd like to greet the sun each morning
And walk amongst the stars at night
I'd like to know the taste of honey in my life
Well I've shared so many pains
And I've played so many games
But everyone finds the right way
Somehow
Somewhere
Someday
Zoom
I'd like to fly away far from here
Where my mind can be fresh and clear
And I'd find the love that I long to see
People can be what they wanna be
I wish the world were truly happy
Living as one
I wish the word they call freedom someday would come
Someday would come
Zoom
I'd like to fly far away from here
where my mind can be fresh and clear
And find the love that I long to see
Everybody acn be what they wanna be
Zoom
I'd like to fly away
Zoom
I'd like to fly away
Zoom
I'd like to fly away
You and me baby
Walking free
Don't you wanna go?
Don't you wanna go?

Great News!

A Judge in Detroit has ruled Bush's secret wiretaps unconstitutional!

At Wy's funeral, she recieved a citation as a Distinguished Citizen from the Governor.

Lou Dobbs has an eye-opening and jaw dropping article posted on CNN.com entitled "It's Good to be a Superpower." Quite an articulate assessment of the U.S.

Project Runway

I am so glad Michael won again! I did like Jeffrey's outfit, but he is an asshole. Go Michael!

There is this beautiful mulatto boy sitting across from me. He is 21. I am absolutely crazy about his hair. It is the same texture as mine. He has a beautiful face too, especially the nose.

"Brother"-hood

The power structure says at this time that there is no need for Feminism, Affirmative Action, Social Welfare, or Hate Crime legislation. Everybody is equal. We’re forty years past the Civil Rights Era. That solved every question, all of the problems, right? So, now is the time to be quiet, to keep your mouth shut and support your nation. Time to site around the table of “brotherhood” with your mouth shut and your hands in your lap attentively listening to the banter of your great white “brother.” You put on your fine, pressed suit and show your face, give an appearance of unity, but don’t let yourself be heard. It is not necessary and above all, its disloyal. You’ll be a troublemaker. You won’t fit in. You’ll disturb their peace and unity. Peace and unity, loyalty—what kind of words are these?

The vernacular of the Big Brother is demeaning, patronizing, and obliges “the rest of us” to take guarded steps and to always walk with a guardian, a protector, someone to watch over you. You are not capable of going out alone. It is phallocentrism in its newest form. “Brother”-hood. At present, this brother of ours is trying to scare us into submission=with terror alerts and links between bad boys-a group of which he interestingly leaves himself out He fails to mention that he once was in cahoots with this group that he now demonizes. Brother doesn’t mention that before Saddam and Osama became enemies numbers one and two, before they were the forces of evil, that both were on the payroll of the United States government, that Bin Laden, presumably the devil himself, was given money and other forms of aide to wage war against the Russians.

And so now we are supposed to ignore these facts and turn our attention away from matters of equality, humanity, economic security, and the protection of our basic civil and human rights and rally around the presidential agenda, with our mouths shut. It is the highest form of fascism when one is bid to silence one’s own voice in support of the “common good.” The effect is to negate the human dignity of a nation’s citizenry. To comply is to trap one’s own soul in a cage. The only solution is to eradicate this system.

Whenever there is a system that operates in such a manner that it becomes fascist and the society becomes so closed to dissent that it is equaled with treason, the blood has stopped flowing and it is time to abolish the system. In order to live, every branch of the body and of the human system must function and a system cannot function when the flow of ideas and creativity stop circulating.

Furthermore, in the preservation of one of our basic human rights, we cannot afford to let anyone; especially a government, stop our voices from flowing in order to galvanize public opinion or to wield the mask of national unity.

Some of My Role Models

The people I try to emulate and look to for guidance and inspiration include Alice Walker, Angela Davis, bell hooks, Howard Zinn,Assata Shakur, Germaine Greer, Elaine Brown, Barbra Streisand, Jane Fonda. These are the people I aspire to be like.

I may not know where my living body might end up, but I do know where my body and soul shall rest, in my family cemetary where my great-great grandparents and great-grandparents are buried and where all of my other relatives are buried. Goodsons, Deramuses,and Smiths.

Washington is Something Else

Now, they are trying to deny that Bin Laden ever was in cahoots with the CIA.

Chris Rock is absolutely hilarious!

I must say that I very much like the Iranian President Ahmadenijad. I also think he is cute. He had some very good things to say and I have always been appreciative of his handling of Bush and U.S. imperialism. Mike Wallace gets on my nerves.

I am remembering my sister's grade school, St. Ambrose. It was a beautiful and inspiring school. I remember the stone and the wood and I remember the school was quite intriguing to me and I like d to explore it. My sister was in a school play there and they performed to Sammy Davis' Jr.'s "Hit the Road Jack." I very much enjoyed that. My sister's dance troupe, outside of the school also did a performance and my sister performed to Gloria Estefan's "Conga."

Dr. D is getting on my behind. I am going to get down to work.

>> After Listening to Pink's "Dear Mr. President"
>>
>>
>>
>> I wanted you to hear this song because it says so much about why
>> *this*
>> election in Georgia was so important.
>>
>>
>>
>> In the film American Blackout, you saw that I say that my
>> district needs
>> jobs. And so, in partnership with faith-based organizations and
>> labor, I
>> put together a program to train my constituents to acquire the
>> skills for
>> jobs that won't be outsourced overseas, and that pay more than a
>> living
>> wage, with health and retirement benefits. Last month, we took
>> in 500
>> students. Who at the end of their training will have
>> transportable skills,
>> internationally-recognized certification, and a chance to live
>> the American
>> dream, supporting their families and our community.
>>
>>
>>
>> The news media didn't tell you about that because they wanted you
>> to focus
>> on my hair!
>>
>>
>>
>> Tonight my mother was hurt by someone in this room, a member of
>> the press.
>> My staff assistant was hurt by someone in this room, a member of
>> the press.
>>
>>
>>
>> I first got into trouble when I was compelled in 1991, while
>> serving in the
>> Georgia Legislature, to speak against George Herbert Walker
>> Bush's war
>> against Iraq. And during a point of personal privilege, I
>> declared that I
>> could not support *any* of George Bush's reasons for war.
>>
>>
>>
>> My colleagues got up and walked out on me, I was vilified in the
>> press, and
>> compared to Julian Bond, who too had spoken out against an unjust
>> war.
>>
>> Ladies and gentlemen, there comes a time when people of
>> conscience are
>> compelled to dissent.
>>
>>
>>
>> Bobby Kennedy said, "The sharpest criticism often goes hand in
>> hand with
>> the deepest idealism and love of country."
>>
>>
>>
>> We love our country, and that is why we dissent: because we care.
>>
>>
>>
>> We care about the dignity of all the world's people.
>>
>>
>>
>> We care about minimum wage workers; we care about no wage workers;
>>
>> we care about the homeless--too many of whom are veterans;
>>
>> we want a healthy future for all our children;
>>
>> we want our seniors to live in dignity.
>>
>>
>>
>> Our country is too rich to tolerate such poverty in our midst.
>>
>> We have more to give to our people and the world than DynCorp,
>> Halliburton,
>> and the Carlyle Group.
>>
>>
>>
>> We care about the air and the earth and the water. And so we
>> reject George
>> Bush's science lessons that distort the facts and justify
>> policies that
>> support drilling for oil in Alaska; exacerbate global warming;
>> and allow
>> more human consumption of known toxins and pollutants.
>>
>>
>>
>> We care about the projection of US power around the world.
>> Either we can
>> be a force for good in the world; or we can rely on force and
>> upset the world.
>>
>> Sadly, this Administration has chosen the latter.
>>
>>
>>
>> At a time when this country has failed to train enough certified
>> teachers
>> to educate our children, George Bush is spending billions, nearly one
>> trillion, dollars for war. And in a point of personal privilege
>> right now
>>
>> I echo what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "A time comes when
>> silence is
>> betrayal; we are called to speak for the weak, for the voiceless,
>> for the
>> victims of our nation, for those it calls 'enemy.'"
>>
>>
>>
>> One year to the day before Dr. King was murdered, he declared
>> that the
>> greatest purveyor of violence in the world was his own country.
>>
>>
>>
>> With Israel's invasion of Lebanon, there might even be a call for
>> more US
>> or UN troops to be stationed in the Middle East, we--here
>> tonight--say to
>>
>> our Commander-in-Chief: Sir, No Sir.
>>
>>
>>
>> And so, before we engage in yet more war, I declare tonight that
>> we stand
>> with the families of our hurt soldiers and the hundreds of
>> thousands of
>> innocent hurt and dead Iraqis.
>>
>>
>>
>> We stand with the homeless Vietnam and Gulf War veterans.
>>
>>
>>
>> We stand with the Agent Orange victims and the 160,000 sick Gulf
>> War veterans.
>>
>>
>>
>> We stand with the 37,000 green card soldiers, not even citizens, but
>> willing to trade their lives for a chance to live and work in America
>> because our foreign policy has failed to uplift their hopes and
>> aspirations
>> in their own countries.
>>
>>
>>
>> Dr. King told us that in order to stop the madness we would have
>> to match
>> actions with words. Mario Savio before that told us that we have
>> to put
>> our very bodies against the wheels and the gears and the levers
>> of the
>> machine and we have to say to those who own it, that they must
>> stop it, or
>> we will stop it.
>>
>>
>>
>> Tonight I am joined by noted men and women activists who have put
>> their
>> bodies against the wheels and the gears and the levers of the
>> machine and
>> they are trying to stop it. They are not tricked by red herrings
>> that the
>> corporate media throw to us. They are focused on our objective
>> to make
>> America a better country.
>>
>>
>>
>> Something is happening around the world: countries with little
>> or nothing
>> are standing up, rising up against the utter and complete domination.
>>
>>
>>
>> Thank goodness for the people in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil,
>> Chile, Cuba,
>> Venezuela, Malaysia, all standing up and speaking for the weak
>> and the
>> voiceless in their countries. A change is sweeping the world.
>> And America
>> must not be left out.
>>
>>
>>
>> So my new friends are the mothers who have lost their sons in
>> George Bush's
>> war and we say to them hold fast to your faith--your suffering
>> will not be
>> a stumbling block for us. We will make this stand with you--you
>> are not
>> alone.
>>
>>
>>
>> Denise Thomas' daughter went to Iraq once and when they tried to
>> send her a
>> second time, Mama got political. She's now the founder of the
>> Georgia
>> Chapter of Military Families Speak Out. First told her story at
>> a prayer
>> vigil organized by Ann Mauney. Prayed at by Reverend Timothy
>> McDonald.
>>
>>
>>
>> Then one mother who wasn't so lucky. She couldn't save her son
>> from the
>> War Machine. The first Georgia soldier to die in Iraq came from
>> the 4th
>> District. Patricia Roberts, Jamal Addison's mother, now
>> politically active
>> and my new friend.
>>
>>
>>
>> Another mother, lost her son, Casey, and decided to take her case
>> directly
>> to President Bush. Cindy Sheehan.
>>
>>
>>
>> There's something special about these women. Their names aren't
>> Deborah,
>> or Esther, or Ruth. But they are women for these times. Women,
>> called to
>> make peaceful revolution.
>>
>>
>>
>> President Kennedy warned us that "Those who make peaceful revolution
>> impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
>>
>>
>>
>> Electronic voting machines are a threat to our democracy!
>>
>> So let the word go out: we aren't going to tolerate any more stolen
>> elections; we're watching you. And we want our leaders back--or
>> we will
>> become the leaders.
>>
>>
>>
>> And not only do we want our country back, we want our Party back.
>>
>> There *is* a growing force for peace in this country. And the peace
>> movement that we are building is backed by millions of young
>> people. I
>> want to thank the hundreds of people who volunteered in our campaign,
>> especially the young people who were excited about getting
>> involved in
>> something good.
>>
>>
>>
>> Thank you all for a lot of hard work, thank you for the thousands of
>> volunteer hours, thank you for helping to make a stand in Georgia.
>>
>> I wish the new representative for the 4th Congressional District

Someone called in to WSFA and asked how stupid Montgomery County is for letting Dr. Purcell go from the Board of Education. Very, very stupid.

Jerusalem should be given to the U.N and made its headquaters. That would take it out of the hands of Israel and would give all of the peoples of the Middle East access.

Todays Terror Alerts

Firstly, I don't really believe anything that comes out of this administration or Tony the lapdog Blair unless it is corroborated by someone credible(not them). Alas, I have no doubt that there is someone out to Kick the United States' ass. The question, however, is not what should be done about it. The question is why they want to. This country learns nothing. You have to give everyone the very same respect for their humanity as you want them to give you.
