        <description><![CDATA[From: AverageBro.com [Editor's Note: Commenter extraordinaire Shady Grady has the floor again today, and is back with the latest in the ongoing saga of Detroit Public Schools f***ery. Enjoy, and show our guest some love you-know-where.]Haven't we all encountered people who are "Do as I say, not as I do" sort of folks?Perhaps it's the uncle who likes to point out your weight gain but is carrying more than a few extra pounds of blubber himself. Or it might be the woman that can't stop yakking about the benefits of committed marriage but is seen clubbing with a different man not her husband every Saturday night. Or it could be the man that complains about bad treatment at work when it comes to assignments or promotions but who steadfastly refuses to adjust to changing technology or business practices. Or it might even be the local school board President, who is leading a fight against state control of local public schools but who can't write a coherent sentence to save his life.

Despite her brief but prolific college basketball career, and her record-setting Olympic track and field exploits, ultimately Marion Jones' eulogy will one day be overshadowed by a single word. Steroids.Few will forget Jones tearful admission during that outdoor press conference. Many (me included) thought her being sent to jail for 6 months was more posturing by the judge than fair justice. Jones personal actions left her jobless, bankrupt, and saw her lifetime accomplishments expunged from the record books.Now, at age 34, she's finally getting a chance for redemption.Former Olympic sprinter Jones signs deal with Tulsa Shock: Marion Jones hasn't lost much of her swagger.The disgraced sprinter once called the world's fastest woman was introduced Wednesday as the newest member of the WNBA's Tulsa Shock and she offered no apologies for her steroids use or her time in federal]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Acting White Even while many folks are up in arms, others around the country might look at the racism issues raised recently at the University of California San Diego (here), and ask what’s the big deal?  So what, some clown made a hangman's noose.  Big deal, another knuckle-head made a pillowcase into a KKK hood.  Or who cares that the N-word got dropped on campus cable.  Do these events merit all the hoopla? Maybe, maybe not.College kids are the traditional canaries in the coal mine.  They tell us to do things that we otherwise ignore - like stop the war, end apartheid, and no more genocide!  On the other hand, they are immature and prone to do stupid things that folks in the real world know better to avoid - like dressing in black face and attending Compton Cookouts.Then there is the reaction to their reaction - and this is where it gets dicey.  Civil disobedience is a fundamental right of citizenship, and college administrators are loath to tell our kids that their mountains are often rolling]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Mirror On America How much tax money is Arne Duncan going to waste on his Civil Rights adventure? The money that he is about to waste would be better spent creating jobs.I'm sorry, I just don't buy Arne Duncan's latest PR push to show that he is working to improve education in urban schools. He recently announced that he would launch dozens of Civil Rights investigations, suggesting that urban students aren't succeeding because their civil rights are being violated. Oh Please!!! I can't drink that Koolaid. Am I the only one who smells bullshit whenever Arne Duncan's name is mentioned? I have been skeptical about this guy ever since Obama appointed him to the post of Education Secretary. He's a Chicago crony. There were certainly better candidates for the job in my opinion. And Chicago's public schools aren't in the best of shape in case anyone hasn't noticed. It just seems to me that Duncan is playing to the Black urban political elite with this move. He wants to go along with the same old narrative fro]]></description>

I have three homosexual first cousins. I love them all and would 'be seen' in a photo with them. I believe they all live in sin and frankly all are very unhappy people and had horrible childhoods as well....For whatever reason God allowed people to choose homosexuality.

        <description><![CDATA[From: Prometheus 6 - All respect and no restraint Lehman executives engaged in what the report characterized as  “actionable balance sheet manipulation,” in addition to “nonculpable  errors of business judgment.” 
 The report draws no conclusions as to whether Lehman executives violated  securities laws. But it does suggest that enough evidence exists for  potential civil claims. Lehman executives are already plaintiffs in  civil suits, but have not been charged with criminal wrongdoing. 
Report Details How Lehman Hid Its Woes as It CollapsedBy MICHAEL J. de la MERCED and ANDREW ROSS SORKIN
It is the Wall Street equivalent of a coroner’s report — a 2,200-page document that lays out, in new and startling detail, how Lehman Brothers used accounting sleight of hand to conceal the bad investments that led to its undoing.
The report, compiled by an examiner for the now-bankrupt bank, hit Wall Street with a thud late Thursday. The 158-year-old company, it concluded, died from multiple causes. Among them were bad mortgage holding]]></description>

Toddler Dies After Mistaking Gun for Wii ControllerThree-Year-Old Girl Fatally Shoots Herself After Confusing  Real Gun and Video Game ControllerBy KI MAE HEUSSNERMarch 10, 2010
Cheyenne's stepfather, Douglas Cronberger, 32, owned a semi-automatic  pistol that he normally kept in a secure location, out of the reach of  Cheyenne and the couple's 1-year-old child, Ashe said. But after taking  it out to investigate a possible prowler, Cronberger left it on a table  and forgot about it, officials said.
 
When Cheyenne fired the gun, Ashe said, her mother, Tina Ann Cronberger,  32, was within three feet of her child. Cheyenne was pronounced dead on  arrival at a local hospital.]]></description>

        <title><![CDATA[Author Heidi Durrow Talks Race and Identity On NPR]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[From: Mirror On America Hear an interview with Heidi Durrow from NPR's All Things Considered. She was discussing her book The Girl Who Fell From The Sky, winner of the Bellwether Prize for Fiction. It's a story about human tragedy and the struggles related to race and racial identity (something that I wrestle with and can therefore relate to). Durrow uses fiction to address social issues, mainly pertaining to race. She was able to highlight & challenge false ideas about what it means to be Black and what it means to be White in American society, even though the point of the story was to paint a picture of life for a mixed girl.She doesn't accept the label of Tragic Mulatto for this story because it has more to say than that. In fact, it could be seen as the opposite of the Tragic Mulatto, because in the end..... well.. to find out what happens you will have to buy the book.  The book has subtle (maybe not so subtle) reflections of Durrow's own life interwoven throughout the plot, although she once vehemently]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: the field negro I got an e-mail the other day (h/t to Deborah Lyn) with an article that broke my heart. I know that these are tough times economically. And, that everyone is suffering here in A-merry-ca. But in the wealthiest country on earth there is no way in hell that any segment of our population should have a median wealth of five dollars. That was not a typo; I wrote FIVE DOLLARS. "Women of all races bring home less income and own fewer assets, on average, than men of the same race, but for single black women the disparities are so overwhelmingly great that even in their prime working years their median wealth amounts to only $5.In a groundbreaking report released Monday by a leading economic research group, social scientists turned a spotlight on the grave financial challenges facing an often overlooked group of women, many of whom could not take an unpaid sick day or repair a major appliance without going into debt."It's rather shocking," said Meizhu Lui, director of the Closing the Gap Initia]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Pam's House Blend - Front Page Is it me or has the world gotten even more hyperparanoid and confused about sexual orientation and gender expression? In what is both an absurd and incomprehensible decision, GLAAD reports that Stars on Ice sponsors are so concerned about the flamboyance of Olympic ice skater Johnny Weir (or is it his costumes?), that they don't want him on the tour.When was the last time male figure skaters and BUTCH coexisted in your mind? Why does it matter anyway? Are Dick and Jane going to be gender confused after a 90-minute ice show? I think these people have lost their minds.GLAAD has learned from a source that wishes to remain anonymous that sponsors of the Stars on Ice Tour, which include Smuckers and IMG Entertainment, have refused to allow 3-time US National Champion and 2-time Olympian Johnny Weir to participate because they claim that he is "not family friendly."To say that Weir is "not family friendly" would be a clear jab at his perceived sexual orientation. Weir is extremely involve]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Mirror On America Hear a discussion with two financial analysts who tried to sound the alarm about Bernie Madoff's activities but were ignored by your federal government.Madoff often bragged about his cozy relationship with regulators... (which allowed him to do whatever he wanted). Many of the holes in the financial regulatory system still remain. And it's a symptom of a wider problem of corruption in government that Americans have not only grown to tolerate, but to expect. There was the muzzling of Brooksley Born, former chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission who tried to warn the nation about a looming financial crisis; The FDA being corrupted and controlled by the drug companies; and even oil industry execs openly providing gifts & having sex with federal regulators from the Interior Department in exchange for less stringent oversight.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Pam's House Blend - Front Page In the wake of DC marriage, here's a report from CBS featuring the Concerned Women for America's Janice Crouse, someone Alvin blogged about earlier today ("CWA's Janice Crouse crams a bunch of anti-gay lies in one statement"). She bleats out more lies, stating that the vast majority of the over 1000 federal benefits that convey with civil marriage can be covered by private agreements or designated beneficiary forms, and that children do best in opposite-sex parent households. How does this woman consistently get put on the air as an expert on anything?Watch CBS News Videos OnlineBTW, even after a lengthy discussion that ends up with the interviewer asking Crouse if she favors civil unions, since "marriage" is special and needs protection, she blithly offers that she doesn't like CUs either because she doesn't want the state or society approving of a same-sex relationship in ANY way.But she said you can have a "ceremony" to celebrate your relationship. Nothing more.]]></description>

Eric Croomes     Guest Commentary compliments of ABC News"In America today, AIDS is virtually a black disease, by any measure," says Phill Wilson, executive director of The Black AIDS Institute in Los Angeles. Wilson also points out that while many black American leaders and celebrities have embraced the cause of the epidemic's toll in Africa, few have devoted similar energy to the crisis here at home. Black Americans make up 13 percent of the U.S. population but account for over 50 percent of all new cases of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. That infection rate is eight times the rate of whites. Among women, the numbers are even more shocking--- almost 70 percent of all newly diagnosed HIV-positive women in the United States are black women. Black women are 23 times more likely to be diagnosed with AIDS than white women, with heterosexual contact being the overwhelming method of infection in black America.]]></description>

From the ACLU press release:The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit today against a Mississippi High School that has canceled prom rather than let a lesbian high school student attend the prom with her girlfriend and wear a tuxedo to the event. In papers filed with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi, the ACLU asks the court to reinstate the prom for all students at the school and charges Itawamba County School District officials are violating Constance McMillen's First Amendment right to freedom of expression."All I wanted was the same chance to enjoy my prom night like any other student. But my school would rather hurt all the students than treat everyone fairly," said McMillen, an 18-year-old senior at Itawamba Agricultural High School in Fulton, Mississippi.

Yet, as a family we experienced an important change when my husband and I &#8212; after being married in all but the legal sense for 10 years &#8212; were legally married to each other Tuesday afternoon.  The ceremony was brief and only attended by the media, a few friends, neighbors and supportive community members. It was a change from our family routine. The boys (briefly) exchanged their play clothes for the suits they wore for the ceremony. My husband and I talked to more reporters than we would on any other day.

Lawmakers are beginning to realize that now is the time to make their voices heard on the issue.The Hispanic Caucus is meeting with the White House today to discuss their concerns about certain immigration-related provisions in the health care bill. They threaten to vote against the bill if the Senate language that bars undocumented immigrants from buying insurance from the proposed exchanges with their own money isn't removed.President Obama is pushing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) "to go further than Obama has previously disclosed" to strip the special deals for individual senators from the final health care reform bill. These include Sen. Ben Nelson's (D-NE) 'Cornhusker Kickback' and a handful of other deals.It is never good when your secret backroom deals go public and get a name, like 'Cornhusker Kickback', attached to 'em!

        <description><![CDATA[From: Pam's House Blend - Front Page ABC Nightline News has a good piece up on the Ugandan "Kill the Gays" Bill and the direct connection to the rabid anti-gay movement in the US.&nbsp; They focus on Scott Lively- professional gay-hater, holocaust revisionist, and recognized hate group leader from the US who has traveled to Uganda to whip up anti-gay animus in the country, leading to the "anti-homosexuality" bill. &nbsp;The report is worth a watch, since it not only shows Lively, but also LGBT Blog Reading Pastor Martin "Show Porn in Church" Ssempa (who we have talked about extensively here on the Blend), as well as crowds in Uganda chanting for death to "homos."&nbsp; Keep a listen out for Ssempa comparing being gay to being a terrorist, saying homosexuality is "sexual terrorism."Notice how that Leviticus verse that we&#39;ve talked about pops up on signs?&nbsp; Ugh.&nbsp; Much more after the jump...  Here&#39;s a shorter version with more footage from the ABC nightly News:It&#39;s so heart-wrenching to see gays and lesb]]></description>
