If Ahnuld can get elected to lead one of the richest states, and a actor was elected to be a senator in the 60s, that really doesn't say much about California. Furthermore isn't orange county home to much xenophobia, in fact, weren't two illegal immigrants murdered by some minute man thugs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34770350.post-27412019797526520932008-01-21T17:20:00.000-05:002008-01-21T17:20:00.000-05:00Montgomery Co, Md is richer than Orange Co, Cali? ...Montgomery Co, Md is richer than Orange Co, Cali? I seriously doubt that. You are making up facts. Indeed if a black man is running the Md. county then it certainly can't be true! That would NEVER happen in Orange Co. and I have been to Montgomery Co. You have wealthy people but you also have many illegal immigrants and blacks. In Orange Co, they live outside of the county and take the bus in!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34770350.post-40427873684986598042008-01-21T16:28:00.000-05:002008-01-21T16:28:00.000-05:00Chris,I caught the Post article that talked about ...Chris,<BR/>I caught the Post article that talked about the Fenty meeting where he got heckled. He should have been heckled. Hell, I wish I had the balls to do it mself! I agree with a Post earlier Op-Ed piece that stated that firing the social workers (read: underlings) isnt going to do much to change the apathy in the govt itself. There needs to be change in the upper ranks in order to have a lasting effect. We'll see if Fenty gets around to that.<BR/><BR/>LLola Getshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07058543308191117858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34770350.post-48558849368341476862008-01-21T09:48:00.000-05:002008-01-21T09:48:00.000-05:00Chris, I saw the news about the woman in DC...it m...Chris, I saw the news about the woman in DC...it made the national evening news and my heart just broke for the children.<BR/><BR/>I agree the safety net did fall apart but where the hell was this women's family? The reporter interviewed neighbors, friends and what not and they knew she was in a bad state. We have to take care of one another!

Politics is about personal power, not the people. It laways has been. Are you say that perhaps African Americans need to rise to a higher standard? That's a tough call. I don't think even Dr. King could reach it, nor did he even try. Nevertheless, I suppose if he were alive he'd still exhort the effort, but I just can't see things changing sadly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34770350.post-74258648410272297252008-01-20T23:26:00.000-05:002008-01-20T23:26:00.000-05:00Chris, I believe the folks who run the 9:30 Club a...Chris, I believe the folks who run the 9:30 Club are lobbying Gov. Martin O'Malley (who still sings in a pretty decent Irish band)and the Montgomery County delegates in the General Assembly to reverse what Leggett did. I, too, want cool live music in Silver Spring, but something smacks of a sweetheart deal. <BR/><BR/>The issues in Washington are a little less clear cut. I agree that even Superman couldn't have anticipated this lunatic would murder her children, but mistakes were made and these were endemic to DC city workers. However, Mayor Fenty's increasingly self-righteous stances are not going to hurt him as long as it is inside the black community. When there is a confrontation with whites in power, then he'll have to play it meek, I suspect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
