What You Mean to Say Is...
[Read the article: An ulterior motive in the music biz's college fight?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"...students' stealing of copyrighted songs...", not trading them. That's theft, old friend. If I broke into your house, took your latest column, and then sent it all over the net just before your deadline, and your boss said to you, when you turned in your now not-so-new aticle "Hey, no dough for you this week, pal. We pay for fresh articles." would you say your article was "traded" or... stolen?

Ha, Ha... Not That Anyone Will Read This...
[Read the article: How Hillary Clinton botched the black vote]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]What - 300 comments? Well, here it goes:
The issue is this - POLICY SUCCESS. Success at geting your policies passed, your legislative proposals through the:
House
Senate
Media
Republican Attack Machine - s
President's Desk
Senator Clinton understands how to do this due to her experience in national politics. THAT's HOW to judge a president - on if they can get your type of (Democratic-values) laws and programs passed and implemented.
Senator Obama would have us all believe that, through the tsunami of his persona, the Right will collapse. That is totally unrealistic. The "old" Washington? Well, it's the ONLY washington we HAVE, and the Right isn't interested in revolution, one needs to be able to.... get this...compromise to win. The Right will STILL be there after the election.
My hope is that Black America can overcome its OWN racism - 92%?! - to see that NOTHING will matter should a neophyte go to Washington and get totally overcome (Hello? Jimmy Carter...) or worse yet, for him to be rolled up by all his outlier positions in the general.

How Much Did Black Racism & News Sexism Hurt Hillary?
[Read the article: How much will white racism hurt Obama?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]90%+ of the African American vote went to Senator Obama, and nary a ONCE did the news media say "Blacks voting against the white candidate."
Meanwhile, the news media take the startlingly lower rates - where it is expressed - of whites who say race is a factor - 20% in Hillbilly land, 10% in Pennsylvania, 7% in... - as evidence of the unevolved state of the American electorate, thereby fueling the redemptive engine of the Obama campaign. (I do notice that Spain, the UK, France, Germany, Japan & Sweden have all already had Black presidents. Oh, wait.... And, dont forget: Jesse Jackson won 13 primaries lo TWENTY years ago!)
While the REALITY is that Senator Obama has been splitting the votes of whites with Senator Clinton because the majority of white voters for Senator Clinton are voting on issues and experience, while the majority of Black voters are voting SOLELY on race, and will tell you so.
America does not need absolution from racism, America needs a president who has experience. Its about LEGISLATIVE success. By what alchemy do you think Senator Obama can get the republicans to roll over on their interests just by saying "Change the way Washington works."? Washington IS what it is, and getting the bills & programs THROUGH Washington are the hallmarks of success. Senator Clinton HAS the experience of reaching across the aisle to forge compromise - remember, it IS government. Senator Obama has a record of almost NEVER doing so.
Washington will eat him alive, should he get there. During the campaign he may well be reduced to a caricature - Send the President directly to negotiate with Iran? What is there to negotiate? If we are Satan, what concessions can WE make?
And, once our president goes to Iran, then every OTHER president can go there to, thus legitimizing the dictatorial, messianic lunatics who hold their people hostage.
The unchallenged rampant racism of black voters, cheered on by a media that, needing conflict - as the 24 hours drama/media needs - keeps telling people that Senator Clinton & President Clinton are playing the race card, and the "Pantsuit! Hillary is wearing a pantsuit!" sexism of the media have delivered the democratic party the weakest actual person to be president since Jimmy Carter and to run for president since Stevenson.

Nice Photo
[Read the article: Sitting shiva with Hillary]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Hmmm...
No sexism in the way Hillary was covered? Take a look at your "Cover" photo.

It's ok... you gave us the "Inspiration/Redemption/Atonement" candidate this term - despite the fact that he's a total neophyte, having coasted on his biography all the way to the top.
I suppose, having learned from this campaign, the next female candidate will just have to be a Hooters girl.
Great work, MSM and "Liberal" media. The 4th Estate protects the republic yet again!
