Recent events lead me to the understanding that many people don't believe Condi Rice is actually black.

My best hope for the coming election cycle is that the Hildebeast will turn out to be the Howard Dean of 2008. yeeeah.

One hears the same thing about Shelby Steele.

Oh Dude, sorry, but the world's gonna end in 2012. The elections in November, so thats 11-3 odds that you're not gonna get the chance.

Of course, maybe you will and maybe that's why the world's going to end.

I think any black male who ran would be courting an assassin's bullet. Connie doesn't even seem black. She just got a good tan down at the pool with the Halliburten gang.

Her failure to conform to stereotypes hardly seems like a shortcoming on her part.

Her friends call her "Condi", by the way..."Condoleezza" is from the Italian musical direction "con dolcezza": "with sweetness". Her mom was a music teacher. She's been on the board at Chevron, Charles Schwab, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, Transamerica, Hewlett Packard, the Carnegie Endowment, Rand Corp, and KQED, in addition to being Provost at Standford. PhD PoliSci and Phi Beta Kappa, speaks Russian, French, German and Spanish.

No clear connection to Halliburton I can see.

McCain/Giuliani. That's the Republican ticket that can win. If the Dems nominate Hillary, I will finally be convinced that they have a death wish and will probably un-register myself.

This is all the press writing about speculation because they can't do real reporting in the first place. It's best ignored because a lot can happen by 2008.

Ibram's twelve years old? -- or is he starting the naturalization process? Not complaining, just interested.

Tonchi -- finally convinced? Well, that's taking it slow and careful. The Dems have been dead to me since about 1993; I can't remember the last time I voted for the Dem candidate even before that. I'm sure it was sometime in the last century... It's been Libertarians and Republicans since. The other third parties, right, left, or mysterious, impress me mostly as the habitation of dingdongs.
