Exactly! That is just repugnant. As to me is the comparison of anything to a plantation like mentality. The horror and inhumanity of slavery is not being played out in the Congress by either political party.

He was pandering to a black crowd, got caught up in the moment and the cameras caught him...he tried to shrug it off, but clearly, this is how he feels....

Everybody has their own personal biases...but as an elected official , you represent everybody, or you will soon be representing nobody

I am not sure how most mayors would react to devastaion on that scale....

But he clearly wasnt up to the task.

Still isnt.

Have not used this one in a while, but I felt she had to be told!

LONDON - Paris Hilton says she is sick of boyfriends and is celibate.

The 25-year-old who gained international fame when a former boyfriend posted a videotape of the couple having sex on the Internet denied leading a promiscuous lifestyle in an interview with the British edition of GQ magazine.

"I'm not having sex for a year. ... I'll kiss, but nothing else," says Hilton, who told the magazine she has had sex with only two men during her lifetime.

Of the videotape with Rick Solomon that became one of the most searched-for items on the Internet in 2003, she said: "I never received a dime from it. It's just dirty money and he should give it all to some charity for the sexually abused or something."

The Hilton Hotels heir and uber-socialite told the magazine she is "very shy" and relates to the late Princess Diana, who was hounded by photographers.

"I've been in cars trying to get away from speeding paparazzi before and it's horrible, so I can relate to Diana and the problems she had," Hilton is quoted as saying.

During the interview, Hilton also displayed some political illiteracy.

When asked about British Prime Minister Tony Blair, her response was: "Who? ... Oh, yeah, he's like your president. I don't know what he looks like."

Hilton also told the magazine she collects $500,000 in fees just to show up at parties and other events from Las Vegas to Tokyo. Her best-paying gig, she said, was a recent Austrian appearance.

"I had to say `hi' and tell them why I loved Austria so much," she is quoted as saying.

And why does she like Austria? "Because they pay me $1 million to wave at crowds!

It just makes me sick how she is EVERYWHERE, yet she is one of the most worthless human beings EVER> She has the ability- because of her fame- to make a difference in the world, but she never will.

Okay, never say never, BUT she has a lot to live down if she ever decides to do something serious. I figure, like Warren Buffett, she will donate money when she gets older to a noble cause, but in reality, she is trying to beat the IRS


I wonder if the 100s of men she has slept with will come forward

I think Sister Mary Smiley Face is giving you a tsk tsk tsk Ruby

Ah, if only sarcasm could be appropriately displayed over the internet...

Does their library not already have Wiccan books? Mine does and I could care less. Read what you want, believe what you want, mind your own business and do unto to others!


Ga. Mother Seeks Harry Potter Ban

ATLANTA - A suburban county that sparked a public outcry when its libraries temporarily eliminated funding for Spanish-language fiction is now being asked to ban Harry Potter books from its schools.

Laura Mallory, a mother of four, told a hearing officer for the Gwinnett County Board of Education on Tuesday that the popular fiction books are an "evil" attempt to indoctrinate children in the Wicca religion.

Board of Education attorney Victoria Sweeny said that if schools were to remove all books containing reference to witches, they would have to ban "Macbeth" and "Cinderella."

"There's a mountain of evidence for keeping Harry Potter," she said, adding that the books don't support any particular religion but present instead universal themes of friendship and overcoming adversity.

In June, the county's library board eliminated the $3,000 that had been set aside to buy Spanish-language fiction in the coming fiscal year. One board member said the move came after some residents objected to using taxpayer dollars to entertain readers who might be illegal immigrants.

Days later, the board reversed its decision amid accusations that the move was anti-Hispanic.
