Kelly Ripa Is Back!

Glad Kelly Ripa is back. Missed her. I don't know if it's true she is a diva or nor or had Regis retire (love them both) wish she was on the View sometimes. Will miss Michael. His announcement was sudden and unexpected.


P.S. Kelly would look great in pantyhose and the boots/pantyhose combo that newswomen often wear (like Chicago's Zoradia Sambolin) and other women like Rachel Ray, etc and no it does not make you look old or is out of style.

In Appreciation Of Police

"From somebody who appreciates what the police do for us. Yes, there are bad ones. But many more good ones. I wouldn't want to live in a world without them. They have walked into my house, took a love one from my arms and that hurt like hell. But they were doing their job. I didn't cuss them. Hate them. I thanked them for being so kind to me, a mother with a broken heart. So pooh-pooh me all you want to. My heart goes out to the families. God bless the cops who lost their life.

MLK Jr. On Riots

A very important read:


MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.’S PERSPECTIVE on rioting and social unrest in the 60s:
“Now I wanted to say something about the fact that we have lived over these last two or three summers with agony and we have seen our cities going up in flames. And I would be the first to say that I am still committed to militant, powerful, massive, non-violence as the most potent weapon in grappling with the problem from a direct action point of view. I’m absolutely convinced that a riot merely intensifies the fears of the white community while relieving the guilt. And I feel that we must always work with an effective, powerful weapon and method that brings about tangible results. But it is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the negro poor has worsened over the last twelve or fifteen years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity.”
