Listen to Barack's I Pod--Sort of
In a refreshing sign that math and hope can just get along, Barack Obama predictably sewed up the delegate count on Tuesday night and defeated Hillary Clinton in what turned out to be a long, contested Democratic primary. And now, for the first time ever, a black man is on track to inhabit the White House, fulfilling Parliament-Funkadelic's dream of turning Washington, D.C., into Chocolate City.

On Stands Now...
Shortly after Barack Obama claimed victory in the fight for the Democratic nomination, I joined him aboard his chartered 757 campaign plane as a member of the press corps. He was flying from Chicago to Appleton, Wisconsin, for a town-hall meeting, one of a series he was doing in Midwestern and swing states to address constituencies he might have missed during the primaries — and, of course, to get some warm-up practice for any town-hall debates he has with John McCain.
Barack Obama is on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine, on stands now. Listen to him, browse his photos and enjoy.

Obama leads McCain by 15 points as voters reject Republicans
Presidential Candidate (D)., presumptive, Barack Obama (IL) has opened a 15-point lead in the presidential race, and most of the political trends -- voter enthusiasm, views of President George W. Bush, the Republicans, the economy and the direction of the country -- point to even greater trouble for rival John McCain. No one in this country can afford to vote GOP.

Most Memorable Vacation
I remember when I embarked on a road trip to Florida one year. I stopped for a while in Atlanta, Georgia to experience the state known for it's peaches, pines and boiled peanuts.
Although I didn't use online travel guides during my vacation, I found lots of things to do in Atlanta.
Trusted Tours and Attractions offers discounted tickets to the best sightseeing tours in 23 cities across America.
The city has tons of restaurants abuzz with live band music, colorful people and delicious food. Oh, and don't forget the gorgeous weather!
I could have taken a City Segway Tour of Atlanta, with Trusted Tours and Attractions. It seems the perfect tour for both those new to the city and Atlanta veterans. For the beginners, this tour could offer a fantastic orientation and give an opportunity to see virtually all of the sites you've read about. For the veterans, you'll learn new facts and stories about Atlanta that you've never heard. You'll agree that riding a Segway is the best way to see the 'Capitol of the South'.
Atlanta is the capitol of Georgia. The capitol sits prominently in downtown Atlanta and has one of the most recognized landmarks in the city, the 23 karat gold dome.
Also found in the ATL is the headquarters of Cable News Network or CNN--my favorite news source.
The Bay Area alone is worth a visit to the West Coast to find things to do in San Francisco.
I have always wanted to go there to experience the weather and the people. Lots of the 1960s history occurred there and I would like to visit where the original Hippies were so named.
However, one of my next vacations will be to find things to do in New York!
Madame Tussauds is a dynamic, ever-changing and evolving attraction. New experiences are added regularly and changes are made to existing experiences. Remember their motto: All Celebrities Appear in Wax!
Mix and mingle with A-list and life like celebrities like Nicolas Cage, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, George Clooney, Jennifer Lopez, and Oprah, in Opening Night Party.
Also seen is Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean and Brandon Routh as Superman from Superman Returns!
And, to make you vacation just that more sweet, Trusted Tours & Attractions is also holding a special promotion where a person can win a handheld GPS by signing up for their newsletter. Offer ends June 30th, 2008.

What grows in my garden?
I have eaten some unidentifiable foliage that was growing in my garden, on at least two occasions.
It is green and looks like dill--which is terrific in salads--but it does not smell nor taste like dill.
It had a peppery taste and wasn't bad but I believe it was the source of some of my stomach ailments this week.
Can you tell me what it is? I thought it was parsley.
The Santita Jackson Show
The topic of White Genetic Annihilation on the Santita Jackson Show
Tuesday was a shot of clarity. Although the show was about myths about black fathers, dispelled, the book,
The Isis Papers: The Keys to the Color by Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, really put it out there. Please go to the link to read an excerpt.
A long time ago when I was in school, I learned that Caucasians have a recessive gene and Africans or Blacks have a dominant gene. It makes sense that most of the world is populated with people of some type of color.
The world is not heavily populated by Caucasoid peoples however what they lack in genetics, they more than make up for in strength, group think, power and cunning. They seem to have ties that bind that appear to keep them in ownership of most of this world's resources.
It helps that many non-traditional Caucasoid people identify
"White"--the grab-bag terminology of the race that is supposed to
identify people of Welsh, Celtic etc. origins, I thought. White is
not exclusive of Mediterranean and Asiatic type blends many times.
They check the "White box" on an application--if they are allowed to do so. The Negroid and Mongoloid races do not check this box.
Background:
The Caucasian race, sometimes called the Caucasoid race, is defined
by the Compact Oxford English Dictionary of Current English as
"relating to a broad division of humankind covering peoples from
Europe, Western Asia, parts of the Indian Subcontinent and North
Africa" or "white-skinned; of European origin" or "relating to the
region of the Caucasus in SE Europe".[3] The concept originated in
attempts chiefly by 19th c. European thinkers to develop a method of racial classification. This typological method was discredited and the concept is not relied on in scientific work related to humans.
The Caucasus comprises Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and part of
Southern Russia (including the disputed territories of Abkhazia,
Chechnya, South Ossetia and Nagorno-Karabakh).
The Caucasus Mountains are commonly reckoned as a dividing line
between Asia and Europe, and territories in Caucasia are variably
considered to be in one or both continents. The northern portion of
the Caucasus is known as the Ciscaucasus and the southern portion as the Transcaucasus. The highest peak in the Caucasus is Mount Elbrus (5,642 m) which, in the western Ciscaucasus in Russia, is generally considered the highest point in Europe.
Back to the Show:
Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, also said she started writing and
researching racism 40 years ago. She said she understands why there is resistance to the subject of white race supremacy.
"People don't want to talk about it. They want to use the word but
not talk about. If you can explain something you can change it," she said.
"If people can understand they, would understand everything that has happened to black people and other people of color--and develop tools to change it," she said.
"It would be like a doctor knowing the word "tuberculosis" but not
understanding the disease tuberculosis. How would he or she treat
it, she asked."
Santita went on with the show asking the audience how to bust the
myths surrounding blacks and the black father.
