So in this case, I understand their desire to funnel some of the hopefulness that a black man can attain the presidency into their area.

As a Christian, I obviously take issue with idolatry. However, also as a Christian I understand that people perish without vision and the Black Belt counties are in dire need of vision and hope.

Perry County's poverty is near 3rd World Poverty, bleak and incredibly backward. Perry is apart of the Black Belt Counties. Entering these counties is like going back in time 100 years. There is no Wal-Mart, only overpriced general stores (where you can pay $500 for a $200 Wal-mart TV on credit and repay over years and years), people indebted to their employers on catfish farms- sharecropping circa 2009. It is pretty bleak.

Some of you have mentioned this case before but Larry Langford, Bham AL Mayor, guilty on all bribery charges (60) in deliberations that last less than 2 hours. He's facing 805 years in prison.

He then gives a press conference where he and his wife act a complete a$#.

UAB is a nationally renowned medical program so in order to remain competitive with recruiting renowned faculty and staff.....

I live in Bham and know many companies who offer the benefits so I don't see it as being so remarkable.

So sorry to hear that Muzikal. It helps me when I am down to sometimes consider other times Ive been at the end of my rope and how those situations were resolved. Writing them down has proved very effective in eliminating some stress. Just a thought...

Though this burden is large to everything there is a season. It won't be like this always.

thoughts and prayers are with you....

However, when she turns into a smoking young lady I might have to move to Team Sasha :-)

I read too many blogs and saw pics of her doing this twice before in the past one was a pic of her w/bald hair at her baby shower. I don't see what the big deal is. It's just hair and her hair at that not my hair or your hair.

I just think she needs a better barber but all in all don't thinks its a big deal AT all.
