The gossip is that they are on the marriage skids.
If this is true, I feel sad about it. Why?
I saw the two of them on stage last Saturday in the televised Global Citizen initiative concert.
They each had magic moments with the crowd.
However, I sensed Jay Z is still very much in love.
I couldn't tell anything much from her body language.
I don't know if Mr. Carter is a good guy, but he is certainly a married man, literally and figuratively.
He is clearly in awe of his wife.
Awe can sometimes have a corrosive effect on a marriage.

Would You Get Sick In Dallas...Or In Austin?
Except for Craig Watson, Dallas is as backward as any third world country.
By that I mean there are no standards except for those of the tremendously vacant Rick Perry
and those sad, sad people who found the need to vote for him.
Medical standards should escape Rick Perryness, right?
No way.
As a matter of fact, even Governor Perry isn't as backward as many of his constituents.
He did want to save millions of little girls from HPV disease, as was clarified in the 2012 Republican
Primaries.
But much to the dismay of so many of us, the Dallas sort of Texan is prevalent in the state, and
decided once again- the bible didn't speak on HPV, therefore, like evolution, and climate change, it
must not exist.
Now, there are still a zillion brilliant people in Dallas; but sorry- they've been outvoted.
So for you zillion, be careful, and realize evolution does exist, and if Ebola is not contained in a
relatively short amount of time, it can, it will, it actually already has evolved.
We don't want a rapidly evolving epidemiological disease. Do we?

Joy Reid With Mr. Fauci and Mr. Costello
Joy Reid was a consummate professional as she listened to rude, raucous answers to her questions on
Ebola. the CDC, and other epidemiology questions on her show Thursday, October 2nd.
What in the world was wrong with these two flakes?
'It's not the job of the CDC to encourage companies to develop medicines', Fauci snarled.
So what? Mightn't they take on the role if a world epidemic is on the horizon? What is it you are ina nasty snit about when you answer a question?"
Later, on the Rachel Maddow Show, Fauci was all of a gentleman. He went on and on about the CDC. What in the world...?
Costello was barely more civil.
Later, he was also on another MSNBC news show. Butter would have melted in his mouth.

Michelle Obama
Furious came from the emotion, terror.
She has two babies in the White House.
They are not in swaddling any longer, but to her, they are her babies.
She wouldn't trade them for anything in this world, including this country.
She wouldn't put them in harms way.
Her mom is in that house, because Michelle Obama has to have her babies with
her, though she has a lot of work to do.
She'd give up her arm.
She'd give up her leg.
She'd give up her life.
For a woman like Michelle Obama, those kids are job one, two three and on and on
ad infinitum.
Why?
Because she is their mom, and she knows one day they will be black women in America.
She knows some people will hate them solely because of who they are to America, and to her,
and to Barack Hussein Obama.
She knows the best thing she can ever offer them is a safe and insulated childhood.
The problem is: she has to insulate them from so very much more than I ever needed to keep my
kids from, and she knows she would not mentally survive falling down on that job, especially if
something also happened to her mom.
Michelle Obama may not ever have realized the Secret Service protecting her family would be
overworked, understaffed, and focused as much as possible chiefly on her husband.
When I heard Barack Obama was running for president I had no doubt he was American, but I
didn't believe he was black.
When I realized Michelle Robinson had married him, had babies for him, I began to think- 'he
must be authentic'.
Still, I told all my friends and relatives "No way would I ever vote for him. Black people in the
south will never vote for him. He has babies. Does he know this is America? They shoot first and
ask questions never?"
But one of my daughter's couldn't resist him. I wondered, 'How can she be that way? She doesn't know history. She doesn't understand race hatred.
My niece thought he was wonderful. There were two people I knew now, eager for his campaign.
So I paid close attention, with mounting terror in my conscious mind.
When the President won Iowa, I was stunned. Iowa? Are they setting him up or something?
Then I heard Michelle Obama say: "Don't be afraid for us. Support us."
From that moment on, my ice block resistance to him as the man, the family in the White House melted slowly.
Back then the Secret Service at least, was the better part of stellar.
Since then, the threats and hate groups have multiplied geometrically.
Congress knows this.
Congress needs to put aside its depravity now that all thus is public.
Would they want the President to lose his family, the best part of his identity?
Barack Obama doesn't hang out with his mom's brothers and sisters. There are none.
He doesn't chat with his grandma's family, or his grandfather's family.
His sister lives in Canada.
One brother lives in Kenya.
Other siblings are not close, not raised with him.
He can't kick back with his brothers and sisters in America. There are none.
President Obama has Michelle, her mom, her brother, and her two children.
That's about it for the core of his identity.
He isn't from a big Texas oil family.
His dad wasn't a U.S. President.
He has no 'good ole boy' network in Arkansas, where he was once a governor.
He isn't a darling of cowboys or the entire right wing of 80s America.
That crowd who worship guns, use the bible as an excuse for hating other people, and despised
the idea of busing- that crowd has grown, and massed against the president.
We need the Secret Service to be all it can be, and more than it has been.
The Service is the state of our union; and Michelle Obama has to have faith in that fact.

A Long Way To Go And A Short Time To Make It In
Shirley Sherrod
Katheline Sebelius
Eric Shinseki
Julia Pierson
The Republican-dominated Congress in D.C. accuses, blames, feigns outrage, spits judgement.
And yet- they don't fund anything at needed levels. They shut our government down, and are happy
to do that. When the departments re shut down, they are not working. This Congress wants all
needed functions to cease. When functions grind to a halt, they accuse everyone but themselves.
They know that America is a capitalist country. They love that. And so people in America can't even
afford to get to work when they are overworked, but underpaid.
No way could Ms. Pearson have done the job 3x more demanding than it was in 2007 with roughly
half the personnel she needed.
Congress only pretends to care.
No way could Katheline Sebelius have known every American needing to get health insurance would
feel a government shut-down breathing down their necks as her website opened.
Eric Shinseki did all he could with the dearth of doctors he had to work with at Vets Admin.
Shrley Sherrod- who knows what nut gave all the misinformation on her?
I hope Secret Service gets its morale back, because the President, his family, and our country need
them much more than we need a Sequestration, or any other bright idea Republicans can conjure.
And the Service needs its morale more than it needs so many 'leaks'.
President and Mrs. Obama need to know. I doubt we do.

Darren Wilson Est Un Muertrier
Mike Brown's communaute a de l' horreur pour Wilson.
Je sais ma francais est ne pas tellement bonne.
Cependant, Je pense j'ai ecrit tout j'aie pu de mon mepris en Anglais.
Wilson est un caprice de la nature, un monstre.
Il a decide a tirer pour tuer, un jeune homme, sans armes, plusieurs temps, a bout portant, dans
la tete..
Ses actes ont ete une trahison de ce qu'il a prete serment faire.
Mais, je crois il est tres heureux etre ce degoutant.
Excusez-moi, s'il vous plait- Je n' a pas des accents sur ce machine.

The Secret Service Is Secret
For that reason, we still don't know what's going on at the White House.
My guess is that in part, the Service is so understaffed, they are using all their resources to vet actual
places where the President's person takes up space.
The people who seem OK , and the family,and the White House itself become secondary.
Congress knows they are overworked and understaffed. Why is Congress excusing itself from blame?
I'm put in mind of Richard Nixon wanting a 'plant' in the extra Secret Service Ted Kennedy requested
after Bobby Kennedy was killed.
Whatever has been going on in this particular Secret Service is obviously not working at all.
The Service needs beefing up- badly; and now the whole world thinks it knows all about everything.
Fat chance.
