"The man wound up dying a champion of civil rights." True, Jeff, but how comparable is this struggle to that one? Also, times are different. There's much more at stake. You can't tell someone who's potentially looking at ten bucks a gallon for fuel oil this fall (yes, ten) and argue that...

"Enough. You are just looking for an excuse to dump your considerable venom. Today you want me to play your victim, and I won't play." Panthera? You don't KNOW from venom. Trust me on that. "Andrew, really and truly, I mean no offense - but now is not the time to tell other minorities that we...

"Simply being "tolerated", to me, is completely unacceptable. All this means is you have to be nice to me to my face. Being accepted is a whole different ball game. And that is the direction in which we should all be heading." There are things in life, that you cannot force people to accept...

"Gosh, Andrew, you've made your feelings about blacks and Hispanics very clear. Do you suppose you could set aside your anger towards them long enough to see why it is in our interest to work with them? No, I am not very hopeful that the black community will, as a whole, help us - there is a...

Try "Seabreeze" facial astringent (the yellowish formula, not the blue).

"I AM ALLERGIC TO SOFT SOAP. I had completely spaced that out. I bought a bar of Nutregenia soap and took a shower this morning. Well the little bumps and rash have decreased by at least 50% so far and I am not scratching. I can't believe I overlooked this for so long." Another good...

Block party, Poe Park, Valentine and East 192nd, Bronx, New York, 1980 (I think!).

Happy Birthday!

"As for voting for McCain, I do plan on doing that and know many Democrats, especially in my once again disenfranchised state of Florida, who plan on doing the same. Like it or not, the Democratic Party is severely fractured because of this primary. I predict the anger and disenfranchisment of...

"The fact remains that the catholic church is a White church." No, it is not. That's not a FACT, that's YOUR racist judgement. You've had negative experiences with the Church in the past, and personal preferences in the here and now that make it convenient to hide your scorn for the Catholic...

"I said that I was born and raised as a catholic, which is a White church." No, it is NOT a "white" church! The very word "Catholic" means "universal"! Growing up, my parish in Brooklyn was 95% black. It just wasn't "black-identified" (and I think that's a good thing!)

"The Black people were not welcome in the White church. They were made to sit in the back, and looked down on. So the Black church was born as the people were not welcome at the White church." Not nowadays, they're not! And not in my church! So let the past GO because, if you don't, you'll be...

"Oxy, Wright is retired. What would be the point of leaving his church?" Moss, guests like Pfleger, and those fine gentlemen whooping and hollering at the specter of Hillary being smeared, IN CHURCH, would be enough for any decent and common-sense public servant to pick up and leave, but he...

Then why won't Barack Obama leave Wright's church?

"All this stuff about Pfleger from Fox News and MSNBC (aka The Bush Channel and Ministry of Propaganda) has only one purpose: to divert public attention away from John McCain's outrageous waffling on acceptance of endorsements from people like Rod Parsley and John Hagee." Jeff, the difference...

"In closing, I cannot in good conscience support this man. I am prepared to vote for McCain and I can say in all honesty that while McCain's support of the war deeply concerns me, McCain has the character and judgment to be President. The Republicans were smart to nominate him, if there is any...

I think, if we would have more parties and more candidates, we'd be able to make better choices, because the platforms and positions themselves could widen and be more inventive and forward-looking, we as voters could break out of our "lib vs. con" boxes, and choose based on which one has the...

This is probably going to sound bizarre but I BUY my wire hangers now, at Target, because I like them for space efficiency, but the cleaners' hangers were too flimsy.

Toggles, how is the market right now, in your part of Nassau?
