TUESDAY
ima let barack take the highroad on this one, ima ask some questions
about palin and her flatearth conservatism
hopefully all these revelations will give folk pause about mccain and palin
mccain because he made a questionable choice w/questionable vetting: it raise the question his tendency to snap judgments,
do we want that in a president, in these trying times
and it highlight his age, what if he dies in office, what if he start drifting - is palin really truly somebody we want 1 heartbeat away from presidency, what does this choice say about mccains sincerity
hopefully it will stall palins rollout as rightwing flatearth supermom
we been blessed with a string of revelations that make her look petty, small time and perhaps duplicitous - this what i mean by wilting under the glare - we all got secrets to hide
she already been caught in lies to nowhere and peculiar
rightwing associations (alaska succession? to what?)
1st its clear we havent yet been told the whole truth, clear we being played
there are so many holes in this account media will worry at it till the truth come out
the death of a thousand cuts - this is a good thing - victory in the next few
days depends on which side defines her in the public sphere
did mccain actually vet this person
if so i judge it to have been incompetent
for 8 years now this been the gang
that couldnt govern straight
if she wasnt vetted it was reckless
if she was it was incompetent
instead of presidential stature we getting jerry springer drama
look like ms flatearth supermom sacrificed
her daughters privacy on the altar of ambition
according to her own rules of the road
her mama should have just said no

MONDAY
hello world, this palin move got folk concerned, it will be awhile before
we can determine how effective it will be, hard to stomach all the republican ads
talking about how bad they feel about hillary when their positions have been so
resolutely anti women, and anti hillary, i remember once reading an article said
democratic 1st ladies often accused of being too uppity (michelle) whereas repubicans
like their 1st ladies 2 be silent 2 step behind helpmeet (cindy) the okeydoke been
used to get blackfolk to vote against their interest w/folk like clarence thomas
and to get regular folk to vote against their interest by stirring up social
resentments and now they are using it to get women to vote against theirs
i would say that its not going to work but it so often does, i never for one moment
considered clarence thomas black but a lot of blackfolk did, we will just have to
wait and see how many democratic and independent women fall for the okeydoke
big difference between a warrior for the cause like hillary clinton
and somebody like palin but it will all be determined by how well palin
pulls the okeydoke off and how well we point the okeydoke out and as you
know dear regulators the republicans are past masters of the okeydoke
was thinking about that harriet tubman in the shawl photo, and hunted it down
for you, there is a likeness on the surface but when you look at those faces
one is the resolute face of struggle, the other looks like the face of defeat
put them together like that you see the difference, kinda like hillary and palin
also the difference in colored folk these days, they used to make colored folk strong
but then again perhaps it is not fair to compare anybody to the conductor
or maybe because it is katrina and hard to look at katrina as anything but the hammer
speaking of katrina, look like gustav is going to rain on the republican convention
this reminds folk of bush and katrina, which is a good thing
and maybe even that when katrina hit, bush was at mccains birthday party, remember
wary of looking clueless again, they trying to transform the convention into a telethon - okeydoke
kinda like gustav is katrinas revenge on the republicans
hopefully its just for show and wont leave a swath of damage/heartbreak behind
our prayers are w/the folk hammered in the caribbean
may the gods of the delta look out for us all
all my love

FRIDAY
good lord the news cycle moves quick these days
i dont think i got anything to say about palin just yet
its all in how she is defined in the next few weeks
is she perceived as a good gamble or a slim reed
the democrats are hindered in attacking her cause shes a woman
like the republicans are hindered in attacking barack - check
good and bad points in her far right conservatism
bad point is she will energize their base,
bold choice on mccains part unless she wilt under the spotlight
a lot depend on how many democratic women decide any woman will do
on the good side this pick draw attention to the age gamble, mccain
is 72, is this somebody folk comfortable being a heartbeat away
which will get folk thinking about mccain himself
what if mccain start drifting, we cant have
somebody up in the oval office drifting -
far as im concerned he already drifting but lets
not go there okay, however you look at it
mccain a bigger gamble than obama ever was
if we are tactically deft, this pick will raise these issues
for the moment its knocked team obama off its game
be interesting to watch them work back, expect
mccain to be asked if this shamelessly political
pick is what he mean by 'country first'
and as for folk wondering if hillary will be an enthusiastic campaigner - after telling obama
no other woman you can bet she is not going to be supplanted by no beauty queen conservative
without a fight
im gone, i had a rough day today too
family issues and no pages, and i need
to check on my cousin, see if him and
his family got out of new orleans yet
i believe this woman was protesting
katrinas anniversary, reminds me of
that harriet tubmam in the white shawl shot
i suspect she know that, also reminds me that
whether obama win or lose
the struggle continue
pray for new orleans
may the gods of the delta
watch over you
im gone
