Bill Clinton is scheduled to address Philadelphia's ward leaders tomorrow (Friday Mar 07).

Philly's wards - including not just the predominantly African-American wards  to the West and North, but also the upper-income predominantly White wards to the Northwest - are overwhelmingly for Obama.

Does Clinton seriously think he's going to woo Philly after his South Carolina stinker?   Reminds me of the following passage in the Washington Post's Even in Victory, Clinton Team Is Battling Itself:

At first I thought this was a joke.

It's no joke.  Read about it on the TIME Magazine blog! Hilary's TX press corps filing room is in a men's bathroom in Austin's Berger Activity Center.

"These accommodations should in no way be taken as a commentary on the quality of our media coverage," said Clinton spokesman Doug Hattaway.

Gosh, thanks!  And she has the gall to complain about media bias.  Me, I think this is proof positive that she's really a Republican, complete with McCain endorsement.

please.. make it stop...

CNN's horrid "The Black/Brown Divide" segment was just decimated by their own expert panelists -- to paraphrase:

Host:  The BLACK/BROWN DIVIDE.  Is it true that Latinos won't vote for Blacks?

Black Panelist:  The "Black/Brown Divide" is bullshit.  Neither group represents a homogeneous bloc of voters.

Latino Panelist: The "Black/Brown Divide" is bullshit. Neither group represents a homogeneous bloc of voters.  Look at the record of Latinos voting heavily for black candidates across the country.

Host: But we have a quote from a Clinton campaign staffer saying so.  Take a look.

Latino Panelist: That Clinton staffer is paid to say that.  That's bullshit and why would you listen to them anyway?

I'm no partisan, I'm officially an undecided voter who would be happy with any candidate that can mop the floor with McCain and hand the reins of government over to the responsible adults in the country.

But as a person with one foot in the African-American community and the other in the Mexican-American community, this latest meme is something I simply cannot stand!  

hmm..  check under the couch, George..

Rumsfeld's resignation letter remains elusive

WASHINGTON, May 15 (Reuters) - The Bush administration is keeping a tight hold on Donald Rumsfeld's resignation letter nearly five months after the former defense secretary and Iraq war manager stepped down.

The Pentagon says it does not have a copy, and the White House office likely to hold the letter is not subject to the law that allows the public to seek release of government documents, the Freedom of Information Act or FOIA .

A defense official, who declined to be identified publicly, on Tuesday chalked up the close hold on Rumsfeld's letter to the existence of few copies.

"I suspect there's only one copy of that and it went to the president," the official said.

Members of the Rutgers Community:

Last week our university family was focused on celebrating the amazing performance
of our Scarlet Knights women's basketball team in the NCAA tournament.  The team
brought pride and excitement to our university and captured the hearts of people
across the state and the nation.  Our student-athletes and their coach deserved to
feel immensely proud of what they had just accomplished, but they had that moment
stolen away by the racist, sexist remarks of radio personality Don Imus and his
colleagues.

Mr. Imus' shocking comments last week were despicable and deeply hurtful to our
students, our coach, and their families.  They were also offensive to every member
of the Rutgers community, as well as to people across the nation.  Racism and sexism
have no place in our society and are completely at odds with our values as a
university that celebrates diversity and civility.
