I'll try again...

Okay, I'm going to try to blog about this again and I'll remember to save after each paragraph... In December I made a crazy decision to race in a triathalon. It took me about eight months to decide to do this, but I finally gave in when I learned that I could raise money for World Vision at the...

The Race (55 MB download) Do you have what it takes to compete in a worldwide contest that spans across 30 unique locations in a search for whatever we can throw at you? Or do you like to travel at a more leisurely pace and see the world? Experience different places and cultures in this reality...

Made In HIS Image Right?

(may contain some mildly/strong language) After waking up from a little nap, I had in my mind to blog about something that has been in my thoughts since yesterday. However, some other thought took over once I logged online and started checking my emails. Tonight's blog thoughts were generated behind...

POLITICAL RACISM

POLITICAL RACISM While both presidential campaigns do their very best to nibble around the edges of the issue of political racism, the time has come to honestly address this elephant in the room without emotion, hatred or bias. So let's speak to the obvious in an effort to clear the air just a bit....

The Elephant in the Room

John McCain's campaign has accused Obama of "playing the race card" in the campaign in order to get elected. Obama has apparently been quoted in Missouri speeches as saying: "So nobody really thinks that Bush or McCain have a real answer for the challenges we face, so what they're going to try to do...

Call It What You Will

There comes a time when conservative journalists and their editors/publishers stop attempting to feign neutrality and simply publish what they really feel (and what fuels the misinformation of non-residents)--even though it's not an opinion piece. The headline says it all: "Lawless city folks beat,...

Anti-racism and free speech

I got into a small civilized spat about the 2 race-hate brits who are seeking political asylum in the US. Surprisingly civilized, given that the people involved are clearly racist. But I started to feel cornered, as if I was somehow attacking free speech. So I went to the Liberty website, where I...

Apex Hides the Hurt

Another pleasant surprise from my 20-page "Things I Want to Read" list: Apex Hides the Hurt by Colson Whitehead. I started reading this book about 2 hours ago and got so caught up in the story that I did something I haven't done since high school: I read the whole book in one sitting, without even...

I was checking out a Rihanna video today and glanced down at the comments (I should know better by now, but it's the whole "Fascination with the Abomination" thing) and saw this little gem: My problem isn't his/her appreciation for Rihanna's appearance, but with the qualification of her race. Here's...

Emu with a Clue

Seems I spoke too soon!

She came third in the 200 metres! My son also wandering around with a ribbon but my husband thinks someone just gave it to him as he hasn't seen him in any races yet. Note complete lack of shoes this time! I feel like such an inadequate parent.

A different take on The New Yorker brouhaha

I think he makes a very good point. Here's the post in its entirety if you don't want to click through: I’ve been thinking some more about the New Yorker dust up and what it says about this campaign. What’s just struck me is how it’s a prime example of the benefits of white privilege – a...

Rant entry # 32

Please tell me this election will not be decided by race. What year is this anyway? When you see Obama, do you see a color? Say what you will about him personally, his politics, his intentions or his career. You can even bad mouth his family if you want. Just don't tell me you are voting based on...
