Working in Bare Feet
If I could live again - I will travel light, If I could live again - I'll try to work bare feet at the beginning of spring till the end of autumn. Jorge Luis Borges, Instants

Sekou Sundiata (1948 to 2007)

Bill Moyer's Journal
We have sad news to report this week. Poet, musician and historian Sekou Sundiata, featured in our series "The Language of Life" passed away on Wednesday, July 18, 2007 at 5:47am. We remember him and the music of his words.

If Gonzales had any class he'd step down and spare the Justice Department any further embarrassment. Gonzales may have had a promising future - that is until he cast his lot with the group of morons currently dirtying the White House linens.

Shalom Rabbi Wine

Services are pending. Arrangements are being handled by the Ira Kaufman Chapel in Southfield.
Wine, who was born in Detroit in 1928, graduated from the University of Michigan and the Hebrew Union College, according to a biography on the Web site of the temple in Farmington Hills. In 1963, he founded The Birmingham Temple, the first congregation of Humanistic Judaism.
In 1969, he helped establish the Society for Humanistic Judaism to serve as national outreach for the humanistic movement. In 1986, he helped to create the International Federation of Secular Humanistic Jews, a worldwide association of national organizations in North America, Israel, Belgium, England, France, Italy, Australia, Mexico, Uruguay, Argentina, and the countries of the former Soviet Union.

May there be peace and life for all of us and for all Israel. Let us say, Amen.
Let He who makes peace in the heavens, grant peace to all of us and to all Israel. Let us say, Amen.

Famous Southern Senators: David Vitter (R) LA

Tucker Carlson Doesn't Get It

In response to Senator David Vitter's confession of infidelity, Tucker Carlson was indignant that Democrats were making such a big deal of the Senator’s private sex life. Tucker essentially accused Democrats of cooperating with the pornographer Larry Flint to dredge up sexual peccadilloes to embarrass conservatives. Tucker doesn’t understand that Senator Vitter is one of the primary voices behind the defense of marriage amendment. When hypocrites like Vitter attack same-sex couples for undermining the sanctity of marriage, he loses any right to the moral high ground. Come on Tucker, if you wish to protect your conservative supporters from charges of moral turpitude – tell them to keep it in their pants.

Impeach Bush/Cheney

Keith Olbermann delivers arguably his most pointed and most powerful Special Comment yet on the ramifications of Bush’s commutation of Libby’s sentence.
I accuse you, Mr. Bush, of lying this country into war.
I accuse you of fabricating in the minds of your own people, a false implied link between Saddam Hussein and 9/11.
I accuse you of firing the generals who told you that the plans for Iraq were disastrously insufficient.
I accuse you of causing in Iraq the needless deaths of 3,586 of our brothers and sons, and sisters and daughters, and friends and neighbors.
I accuse you of subverting the Constitution, not in some misguided but sincerely-motivated struggle to combat terrorists, but instead to stifle dissent.
I accuse you of fomenting fear among your own people, of creating the very terror you claim to have fought.
I accuse you of exploiting that unreasoning fear, the natural fear of your own people who just want to live their lives in peace, as a political tool to slander your critics and libel your opponents.
I accuse you of handing part of this republic over to a Vice President who is without conscience, and letting him run roughshod over it. Full report ...
Bush and Cheney - equal parts evil and stupidity. Impeachment remains the only option to protect what's left of our democracy.
