Being Thankful

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. There is a lot to be thankful for.

Being a Fox Female Newscaster

From this shot of Megyn Kelly to her daily appearance on Fox News it is clear that the more things change the more they stay the same. On Fox the women are simply sex symbols. Kelly is on the cover of GQ with this title: "She Reports, We Decided She's Hot" That's a joke. Fox News sells soft porn daily. With the women on Fox, it's all about plunging neck lines and rising skirts. But what they're pole-ing is more than titillating. It's deadly politics. Get thee to a topless bar. Go!

Being Galled

Stephen A. Schwartzman, chairman and co-founder of the Blackstone Group, compared his company's corporate tax increase of 15% to 35% to the invasion of Hitler. The galling thing about Schwartzman's statement is that his company exists because of the bailout, and contracts given to this investment and advisory firm. Now, he is deriding the government. Schwartzman is angry with the government when Blackstone would not exist without it. The comparison is also disturbing and grossly hyperbolic. Is Schwartzman Jewish?

Being Brotherly

When I phoned my brother Haywood earlier he seemed a bit distracted. After a little while, I asked him if it was a good time. He said for me to go ahead. We had a good conversation as usual. A few hours later he phoned to say he was sorry that he hadn't given me his undivided attention earlier. I thanked him. I also wondered about our integrity and the concern we show each other.

Being Foolish

In the Senate race in Nevada between Harry Reid and Sharron Angle, it is utterly foolish to keep talking about personality when there is so much to lose politically. Get a grip people!
