I came across this last night. A 5 day projection for Hurricane Gustav. I am sending thoughts and prayers to everyone that has or may be impacted by the hurricane. I watched the news yesterday and I was really surprised and amazed that despite the outcome of Hurricane Katrina, there are still [...]

This is truly going to be an exciting election. I enjoyed the Democratic Convention this week. I may just have watch the Republicans to see what they are up to.

Dear Missnexus.com readers,
Three years after Hurricane Katrina, there’s finally a bill in Congress that will give Katrina survivors a fair chance to rebuild their lives. But it won’t become law if enough representatives don’t stand up to support it.
The Gulf Coast Civic Works Act would hire 100,000 Gulf Coast residents and evacuees, providing them with [...]

A friend of mine forwarded this on to me in an email.  I already know who I am voting for, but here are a few reasons why you should not vote for John McCain.  Interesting stuff.  Watch this video:

This is an excerpt from a speech by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. called Loving Your Enemies, presented on November 17, 1957.

…So I want to turn your attention to this subject: “Loving Your Enemies.” It’s so basic to me because it is a part of my basic philosophical and theological orientation—the whole idea of love, the whole philosophy of love. In the fifth chapter of the gospel as recorded by Saint Matthew, we read these very arresting words flowing from the lips of our Lord and Master: “Ye have heard that it has been said, ‘Thou shall love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy.’ But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you; that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven.”

…Now first let us deal with this question, which is the practical question: How do you go about loving your enemies? I think the first thing is this: In order to love your enemies, you must begin by analyzing self. And I’m sure that seems strange to you, that I start out telling you this morning that you love your enemies by beginning with a look at self. It seems to me that that is the first and foremost way to come to an
adequate discovery to the how of this situation.

Dear Senator Hillary Clinton,

Congratulations on you winning the New Hampshire primaries.

It looks like all of the mudslinging at Barack Obama is paying off. Keep up the good work. Bill must have learned it from the best.

Other than that, I just wanted to inform you that no matter what, you will not get a vote from me. Even if I have to vote Republican.

Sincerely,

Rashaan (Proud Registered Voter)

Thank you JT and Papa… the love of my life and my maternal grandfather, who served in the United States Navy and United States Army during the Persian Gulf War and World War II, respectively.

Thank you to all other veterans for protecting our freedom and serving your country with honor.

Happy Veterans Day.
