    In a More Diverse America, A Mostly White Convention

    You are seeing fewer and fewer Catholics affiliating themselves with the democratic party—- for many reasons—- much of which is ideological—- I would suggest it is because we feel hostility and bias towards what is important to us—- I would think if this is the case with African Americans it represents the same dynamic which is not  racial but ideological.

    Why are Republican African Americans surprised by this phenomenon?  Do they truly think that the GOP has their interests in mind and that it can relate to their circumstances?  What more proof do we need that the GOP is hostile to the needs of all but the most wealthy Americans, except the record of the last 8 years with the cuts in constitutional rights, the tax benefits for the wealthy and corporations, the record high oil industry profits, a war that was initiatied with false information and no clear plan of action?  I could go on but the evidence is too extensive to record here.  This convention is business as usual for the GOP.  Luckily African Americans have a real alternative this year and I hope they will all flock to the Democratic ticket if they want to see change.

    Congress's Apology for Slavery Is a Good Thing—It's Just Not Enough

    Agreed. Now that the apology has been made all can be forgiven and everyone should be happy. Lets get on with life.

    BTW – Slavery wasn’t "just the evil doings of greedy Southern planters." Slavery was a 5,000 year old institution practiced all over the world (and still is in places.)  Perhaps apologies should be demanded from a few of those places?

    Yes, good to know that our Congress is focused on such important issues while they completely ignore stupid things like the cost of energy.

    Obama T-Shirt Sparks Assault, Lawsuit

    $69 bucks for a T-Shirt with those words? And she's the one who's suing? This is just stupid.

    Well if she bought the shirt she obviously was intending to antagonize people. I don't know what she expected would happen.
