Fear of a Black President
A black president means anything is possible. It means that that last little parcel of earth -- which for 232 years has been solely inhabited by white men -- is now open to people of all colors.

Oprah, Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry, Jessica Lange...Faces of Fear?
Like the nagging relative or the smug married friend, this inquiring mind was asking of each of these unmarried couples, "So why aren't you married?"
Experience vs. Inspiration
When I fly in an airplane I want the pilot with the most experience, not the one who can inspire hope in me that I get to where I am going. It's not really the job of a public servant to inspire.
Consciousness Rising
Obama's spiritual concern underlies a deep compassion and toughness that comes from being in touch with and at ease with himself. This is what mindfulness is all about. It makes you strong in every way.
Next Time Boychick, We Take the Whole Thing

Resistance is Futile
A recent article entitled "Empathy Deficit Disorder: Do You Suffer From It?" documented, via testimonials from the dumbest women imaginable, a "condition" a lot cooler and less threatening than sociopathy.

Mitt Romney, Meg Whitman and the Failed CEO Campaign
Meg Whitman, Romney and their Fortune 500 crowd implied that their success at Bain, eBay, et al, would translate into a winning campaign. This has not happened. At all.
Politically Correct Sex (For Women)
While it's perfectly all right for men to "masturbate," women doing approximately the same thing are now "cultivating" themselves?
Obama's Oprah Problem
When they put that little "Oprah's choice" sticker on the cover of a book, it instantly becomes a bestseller. It's not yet clear what happens when they put the sticker on a presidential candidate.

Life without cheese is just not worth living. Particularly without d'affinois and other French double and triple creams!
Did you check out that menu? Absolutely lovely for people who either have personal chefs or plenty of time on their hands -- the average working person/parent doesn't even have time to shop for specialized ingredients, let alone prepare them.
Not so long ago the word 'vegan' was hardly known. Now it seems just about everyone has some idea: no flesh, no dairy, no eggs, no honey, no leather, no fur, no wool and whatever else belonged to the original owners. Thank you Oprah!
Oprah, the poor dear, was born in the wrong century.
Of the approximately 50 centuries of recorded human history, it is only in the last approximately 75 years that fat, overweight strudels like Oprah wouldn't be considered the belles of the ball. And, hey, make that just in the Western World because in most third world countries, those love handles that she's spent a good portion of her billion plus fortune trying to lose are actually considered....LOVE HANDLES.
Oprah, your genes are made to store fat...go forth and eat. If you don't you're going to continue to be miserable. And, hey, you're laughing all the way to the bank, so who cares if you look like Elizabeth Taylor circa 1975?
Seriously. Who Cares?
Probably about 7.8 million people who watch her show every day. Who cares what YOU think?
There is a lot of significance in the fact that we need to seriously address the grossly inhumane treatment of "food Animals" provided for our pleasure and profit, at the cost of tremendous, needless suffering on their part, while we blithely look away; and the fact that Oprah's action will hopefully make people conscious of that sad fact in regard to eating meat, which is not only un-necessary for our sustenance, but unhealthy and extremely destructive to the environment as well.
In addition to the terrible inhumanity, Corporate production of animals for our dining pleasure, as you say, extracts a huge toll on our planet. Except for a small amount of home-raised chicken and perhaps fish caught nearby, we will all be eating vegan very soon, IMO. We Americans live with a perpetual "Berlin Air Lift" of food and flowers flown in for our consumption and enjoyment. That can't continue for long at this rate of oil price increase. We each might examine the living of our life and think about how much oil and gas we use that is wasted. In the future, we will spend the lion's share of our travel time on our bicycles or feet. Our clothes will dry on a clothesline in the yard. We will suffer from the heat in the summer and have cold feet in the winter, just like our ancestors from as recently as three generations ago. This entropy is inevitable given the rapidly declining availability of cheap oil.
