Review: Foxx outstanding in fine 'Ray' And it can be summed up with this: With "Ray," Hackford has made a film that -- like Charles' music itself -- breaks your heart, makes it brim with joy and ultimately fills it with a deep belief in beauty and salvation

(1) Are you informed about the candidates and issues? Check out www.DeclareYourself.com to read about the candidates and the latest political news (Click on "Get Informed - News"). (2) Do you know where your polling place is? In most states, you have already received a notice in the mail with your polling place on it. Hold onto it -- this is the MOST accurate and important source of information about your specific polling location (place it on your refrigerator or other obvious place). But you can also look for your polling place by calling your county voter registrar's office (listed in the government pages of your local telephone book), checking your state's Secretary of State Web site , or checking on www.DeclareYourself.com. (3) Do you have identification ready to bring with you on Election Day? Every state is slightly different in Election Day ID requirements, but in all cases, it's a good idea to bring a driver's license, passport or othe...

"Election rides on the 917 vote" by Jimmy Breslin (Newsday,Inc. Copyright 2004) October 21, 2004 On Sept. 15, there were 168,900,019 cell phones in America, according to the cell phone institute in Washington. Not one phone user was called by the political pollsters reporting with such marvelous accuracy on the Bush-Kerry race. A month later, on yesterday afternoon, there now were 170,475,160 cell phones in America, according to the cell phone institute. In one month, 1,575,000 new cell phones have been bought. Not one cell phone has been called during the presidential campaign. This is because there is no method for polling cell phones. Nobody has their numbers. Nor do they know who the users are, where they live and what they do. You have 170 million phones and you talk to none of them and then try to say you know what the public is thinking. A month ago, pollster John Zogby said he had discontinued telephone polls because cell phones had made any and all r...

An Avalanche of Misinformation Two misleading Bush ads accusing Kerry of supporting tax increases on gasoline and middle-class parents were running heavily last week. According to the Campaign Media Analysis Group of TNS Media Intelligence, which tracks TV ads in the top 100 markets, the two Bush ads accounted for nearly half of the estimated $16 million spent by Bush and the Republican National Committee during that week alone.

According to my health tip-of-the-day we need to ask ourselves if we are doing the following: enjoying our fav music? using the family planning method that works for us and our partner? taking a vitamin supp in addition to eating right? listening to others & communicating effectively? acting like a kid from time to time? The goal of the month is to try an exercise activity you've never tried. The family planning question is a little odd but hey, it's a legit question.

Little David was in his 4th grade class when the teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came up-fireman, policeman, salesman, doctor, lawyer, etc. David was being uncharacteristically quiet, so the teacher asked him about his father. "My father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off all his clothes in front of other men and they put money in his underwear. Sometimes, if the offer is really good, he will go home with some guy and make love with him for money." The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other children to work on some exercises and took little David aside to ask him, "Is that really true about your father? "No," said David, "He works for the Republican National Committee to elect George Bush , but I was too embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids!

Yogi Berra on Jazz: Interviewer: Can you explain jazz? Yogi: I can't, but I will. 90% of all jazz is half improvisation. The other half is the part people play while others are playing something they never played with anyone who played that part. So if you play the wrong part, its right. If you play the right part, it might be right if you play it wrong enough. But if you play it too right, it's wrong. Interviewer: I don't understand. Yogi: Anyone who understands jazz knows that you can't understand it. It's too complicated. That's what's so simple about it. Interviewer: Do you understand it? Yogi: No. That's why I can explain it. If I understood it, I wouldn't know anything about it. Interviewer: Are there any great jazz player alive today? Yogi: No. All the great jazz players alive today are dead. Except for the ones that are still alive. But so many of them are dead, that the ones that are still alive are dying to be like t...

Gotta see the photos from the scorers!

I was riding to work yesterday when I observed a female driver cut right in front of a pickup truck. The guy had to drive on to the shoulder to avoid hitting the woman. This evidently angered the driver enough that he hung his arm out His window and "flipped" the woman off. "Man, that guy is stupid," I thought to myself. I ALWAYS smile nicely and wave in a sheepish manner whenever a Female does anything to me in traffic, and here's why: I drive 48 miles each way every day to work. That's 96 miles each day. Of these, 16 miles each way is bumper-to-bumper. Most of the bumper-to-bumper is on an 8 lane highway. There are 7 cars every 40 feet for 32 miles. That works out to be 982 cars every mile, or 31,424 cars. Even though the rest of the 32 miles is not bumper-to-bumper, I figure I pass at least another 4000 cars. That brings the number to something like 36,000 cars that I pass every day. Statistically, females drive half of these. ...

After one of the fastest periods of economic growth in history, China is set to reclaim its place as one of the world's great powers. And the communist government, which once despised such displays of wealth, is counting on a new middle class to help it succeed. This was noticeable in 02 when I was there.

You know its interesting to introduce people, especially significant others, to family members. You get so accustomed to hwo your family does things that you don't even notice. For instance, this weekend my Tara spent time in my Aunt's house for the time. They had met but not spent a huge amount of time together. Tara observed that my Aunt is an external processor (in Tara's mom's words). She talks alot, a running commentary combined with a perpetual string of questions. I hadn't ever really thought about it. I knew we talked alot but I hadn't reflected on how it was actually a running dialog. Now, some people do this with mundane, trivial ideas and observations but my Aunt is almost always serious; she talks about politics, society, race and family alot. But as I reflect more sometimes she just talks; she talks to the car in front of her when they won't make their turn as quickly as she would like, she talks about people as they pass by; nothing malic...

Shameful Games at the U.N. A Commentary by Newt Gingrich, Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is a senior fellow at the A merican Enterprise Institute . For more than six months, U.N. observers, delegations from the House and Senate and aid workers from organizations such as Amnesty International and Doctors Without Borders have witnessed and spoken out against what the State Department has correctly called the genocide that is being committed in Darfur by the janjaweed militias. Despite its repeated denials, it is clear that the government of Sudan is funding these attacks. Yet in the face of all the evidence, incredibly, Sudan continues to hold a seat on the U.N. Commission on Human Rights . How can that be? How, if that is the case, can the commission have any moral standing whatsoever? How can it affect change or protect human rights? It seems plain and obvious that Sudan must be stripped of its seat and that it cannot possibly sit in judgment of the hu...

LA Times requires a free subscription. You should do this to get that west coast perspective. By Mark Magnier, Times Staff Writer BEIJING — The video clip shows an Olympic runner approaching the starting line and readying himself for a race. He looks Chinese, as does the official with the starter's pistol who raises his gun skyward. At the last minute, however, the official lowers the pistol and shoots the runner. The clip by the French civic group Together Against the Death Penalty — shown at film festivals and other venues in Europe before the lights dimmed in Athens — suggests how quickly and aggressively human rights groups are moving to put China in their cross-hairs. Four years before Beijing hosts its big coming-out party — the 2008 Summer Games — the event is shaping up as one of the most controversial global sports events in recent memory. The Olympics are no stranger to politics. And although China has made huge strides economically, its authoritarian pol...

'Superman' star Christopher Reeve dead at 52

From The Charlotte Observer by MARK KEMP The band that calls itself Lynyrd Skynyrd should throw in the towel -- or, maybe I should say, the Confederate flag . When the current Skynyrd opened for the Allman Brothers at Verizon Amphitheatre last Friday during the two influential Southern rock bands' historic first joint tour, it became abundantly clear why the Allmans remain so well respected and why Skynyrd is having a hard time getting into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame . Don't get me wrong, Skynyrd should be in the Hall. The original Skynyrd. The current version has become a glorified cover band. Only two original members remain, and the others -- veterans of inferior acts including Blackfoot and the Outlaws -- put more emphasis on rock-star posturing than on rock 'n' roll soul. Frnt man Johnny Van Zant -- brother of founding singer Ronnie, killed in a 1977 plane crash -- never had a great voice, but now it's an empty croak. When he barked throu...

You know this song by Dylan always powerfully effected me. The first time I heard it I was just shocked by the power and the truth. As I listened more and learned the lyrics it became anthemic! I would scream the lyrics as powerfully as I could to match the fire with which Dylan was spitting out the words (hmmph, I sound like a kid but I was in my 20s when I first heard and learned this song). Now, listening to Buddy Miller sing this song (it's on what will be considered one of the best albums of the year: Universal United House of Prayer ) I can't help but cry. The song is so disturbingly true in this day and age, with our Born Again president and the Muslim terrorists. Dylan's lyrics are unparalleled and Buddy's delivery is as passionate as any I've heard. Lyrics: Oh my name it is nothin' My age it means less The country I come from Is called the Midwest I's taught and brought up there The laws to abide And that land that I live in Has God...

From the Nashville Scene : Last Thursday, though, something rare happened over at Family Wash in East Nashville . Some folks, baited by beer and live jazz, participated in American civic life—together. That's right, at 8 p.m. a few dozen youngish Nashvillians set aside their well-tested cynicism, and instead gathered around to watch the season's first presidential debate. It was Bush vs. Kerry , round one , except with a twist: at the Wash, the back-and-forth was accompanied by a jazz combo that tailored its music to the rhetorical ebbs and flows (or flubs) of the debate.

Should foreign born citizens be allowed to run for President? It has been introduced in the legislature (both senate & house) that a constitutional amendment be made for the Governator ...oops.

OFFICIAL TITLE AS INTRODUCED : A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to make eligible for the Office of President a person who has been a United States citizen for 20 years. As it stands you have to be born here to be eligible for President . I don't have a problem with the new resolution. Arnold's situation is far more common that you'd think and we don't have to worry, like the founding fathers did about some foreigner coming over for a coup...that's already happened! Ouch!
