I loved seeing our President Obama give a big hug to Gabrielle Giffords last night at his State Of The Union Speech. I thought it was very sweet and moving. This is even more moving. Here is a tribute to Rep. Gabrielle Giffords on the House floor.
Al: How’s it going? I agree with you, the video is amazing. Yes hearing her breathe and moan would’ve been quite erotic, and quite a surprise. But we know that wasn’t going to be the case. Still, at least a little music along with the pulsating colors would’ve made it awesome to watch.
Jeromy: Like ZL, I was laughing too – and the same questions came to mind.
Human Events: Dear Conservative, You can hope, and you better – but don’t count on it.
Zen Lill: No I do not make it very often. In fact it has been quite some time. Although I still have the chicken bones in my freezer – perhaps that’s telling me something :)
Anonymous: My sentiments exactly! Anyone who didn’t think that speech was excellent is on Team ABO. And unlike Romney in Tampa, FL. yesterday, “Obama is working”.
Peace out.

I just couldn’t resist this one this morning! – who doesn’t love when a man starts flappin’ his lips and croons the words of Al Green? Especially when it is our beloved President Obama singing, “I’m…so in love with you…”! Just how many women are wishing he was singing it personally to them? (heads nodding “yes” – hand in the air, lips saying “uh huh”) If you were a fan on the man before, this is gonna make you drip and drool with delight! Did I just say that?! Yep I did. I just love it!! Made my day – Enjoy!
President Obama has a message to his donors: Let’s stay together.
While speaking Thursday night during a fundraiser at the historic Apollo Theater in Harlem, the commander in chief showed off some impressive singing abilities. After mentioning that soul legend Rev. Al Green was at the event, Obama belted out a short rendition of Green’s classic hit “Let’s Stay Together.”
“I…I’m so in love with you,” sang the President.
Obama then playfully pointed backstage and explained, “those guys didn’t think I would do it. I told you I was gonna do it.” Addressing Green in the audience, Obama said, “Don’t worry Rev, I cannot sing like you, but I just wanted to show my appreciation.”
Readers…especially the women readers: Isn’t this just the best? FLOTUS is one lucky lady. I know you’ve got something to say. How about sending some lovin’ back to the president. Start flapping your lips. Blog me.
Tsarmi: A timely post and one that is worth giving time.
Doug: Another article that needs to be read by those who really love our four-legged family & friends. Thanks.
That is all I have time for this morning. I’ll catch up with the rest of you tomorrow.
Peace and LOVE

GlobalGrind.com CEO Russell Simmons tells Keith how Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy inspired him to help organize Occupy the Dream, a new offshoot of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Dr. King started the Poor People’s Campaign in November 1967 with the goal of confronting Congress about what he saw as its “hostility to the poor” while lobbying for an Economic Bill of Rights. Simmons decries a prison-industrial complex and states, “All of what promotes inequality — economic inequality — is the money in Washington.” Simmons argues for a constitutional amendment to stop the flow of money in politics, saying, “We want the politicians to work for us, not [the lobbyists].”
As we celebrate the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr, it appears we are a far less prejudiced country than we once were. Individual expressions of racism are less tolerated than ever, we have an African-American President, and African-Americans are increasingly being accepted into executive suites. Yet when we look closer, we find that Greedy Bastards have rebranded racism and made it acceptable again, by calling it “the war on drugs.”
These statistics compiled by New York Times columnist Charles Blow and author Michelle Alexander (author of The New Jim Crow) are mind-blowing.
Since 1971, there have been more than 40 million arrests for drug-related offenses. Even though blacks and whites have similar levels of drug use, blacks are ten times as likely to be incarcerated for drug crimes.
“There are more blacks under correctional control today — in prison or jail, on probation or parole — than were enslaved in 1850, a decade before the Civil War began.”
“As of 2004, more African American men were disenfranchised (due to felon disenfranchisement laws) than in 1870, the year the Fifteenth Amendment was ratified prohibiting laws that explicitly deny the right to vote on the basis of race.”
In 2005, 4 out of 5 drug arrests were for possession not trafficking, and 80% of the increase in drug arrests in the 1990s was for marijuana.
There are 50,000 arrests for low-level pot possession a year in New York City, representing one out of every seven cases that turn up in criminal courts. Most of these arrested are black and hispanic men.
Why is this happening, when personal prejudice is so much less common, medicinal marijuana initiatives routinely pass around the country, and illicit drug use is accepted enough that Steve Jobs could praise psychedelic drugs as key to his creative success at Apple Computer?
The modern drug war in politics can be traced back to political operative named Clifford White, an advisor to Barry Goldwater, who recognized that there were votes to be had in the backlash against the civil rights movement. From the 1970s to the 1990s, the war on drugs became convenient code for politicians who wanted to appeal to certain working class white voters with coded racist appeals. President Reagan used this political support to escalate the war on drugs.
A Federal law passed in 1986 allowed law enforcement agencies to seize drug money, and use it to supplement their budgets. Grabbing cash connected to drugs meant that police departments could buy more tools and training. Like the fee-for-service model in medicine, that pays doctors for performing procedures, not for making people healthier, the “forfeiture laws” effectively pay the police departments for making busts – not for reducing the drug trade.
In fact, if the war on drugs was ever won, it would be a financial disaster for law enforcement. There’s so much dirty money funding law enforcement agencies that now, according to NPR, some police departments have become “addicted to drug money“.
The second significant institutional incentive is of more recent origin, though it too has its beginnings in the Reagan era – the development of for-profit prison companies and their vast lobbying and political apparatus.
Prisoners now manufacture and assemble products for Microsoft, Starbucks, Victoria’s Secret, Boeing, as well as body armor for soldiers and handcuff cases for law enforcement officers.
In 2007, taxpayers spent 74 billion on prisons, with the largest percentage increase of prisoners going to for-profit prison companies.
The Justice Policy Institute noted that these companies make more money through longer prison sentences, but you don’t need a report from a nonprofit group to know that. Just look at their own investor reports. The Corrections Corporation of America, the largest for-profit prison company in the country, lists as a business risk in its 10K to the SEC “any changes with respect to drugs and controlled substances or illegal immigration could affect the number of persons arrested, convicted, and sentenced, thereby potentially reducing demand for correctional facilities to house them.” CCA also told investors it would make less money if there were lower minimum sentences and more eligibility for inmates for early release for good behavior.
Putting people in jail and keeping them there is good for business. So that’s what these companies lobby for. According to the Justice Policy Institute, these companies “have contributed $835,514 to federal candidates and over $6 million to state politicians. They have also spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on direct lobbying efforts.” They are large donors to state-based think tanks like the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), who market harsh immigration, drug laws, and prison privatization laws to state level politicians around the country. While the rationale is no longer outright bigotry, the net effect, in terms of stripping millions of blacks of political and economic rights, is the same.
This is the face of racism today. It isn’t the racist sheriff in Alabama turning hoses and dogs onto protesters, or the all-white development or country club, but the smooth lobbyist and campaign contributor discussing the efficiency of private prison initiatives or the politician too cowardly to act on decriminalizing marijuana for fear of antagonizing a powerful lobby. It’s racism, Greedy-Bastards-style.
What’s the alternative? David Kennedy, the director of the Center for Crime Prevention and Control at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, has highlighted a very simple common sense approach known as hotspotting. He advocates for sitting down the gang members that perpetrate most of the violence, police, prosecutors, and community leaders to talk about their shared problems and the consequences of crime. Such an approach has dramatically reduced homicide rates in Boston and Chicago, and across the country. Yet these programs and programs like them with proven success in reducing crime are the first to go on the chopping block, because they don’t provide the budgetary incentive that forfeiture laws do.
Today, the march for civil rights isn’t about convincing Americans that racism is wrong. It is about getting money out of politics, so that the profit from institutional racism is eliminated. The Supreme Court’s decision in Plessy vs. Ferguson saying “separate but equal” has been trumped by the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision, eliminating all restrictions on corporate cash in politics. If we are to honor Dr. King, let us make this our generation’s cause. It won’t be an easy fight, but as he said, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.”
And while were on the topic of racism, I just want to add this segment from the Rachel Maddow’s Show last night. It seems racism is a growing issue for a few republican presidential candidates. Gee do ya think? Can you guess who they are? No need, are there any republican presidential candidates not racist?
Zen Lill: Hey no worries – no need to apologize. You can’t always be up and zen every day. It is the downs that inspire growth and change. All good.
Howie: That was quite the chronicle. Sounds to me like the vacation ended a bit too early for the 4 deserters.
Doug: Thank you. You know how I feel about animals and buying only “cruelty free” products. I was bawling watching this.
Social Butterfly: Good to see you here. I am sorry that you had been experiencing personal tragedies in the new year. I HOPE that you and yours are doing fine, and the new year only gets better.
Joe Solmones: Noted – Thanks. I say, let’s get to work.
Health Info: Loved your post this time. Thanks. Although I agree with Connie- not all can afford to hire all of these specialists. That needs to change. But I too like the “magic”. Inspiring and even applies to so many other challenges in life.
Viv: Nice to see you here. Happy to hear the kidnapping of the Princess is resolved. I HOPE all is well with you and the rest of the TAO.
I see more comments have come in, but I’m done for the day. Your turn. Blog me.
Peace out.

Saturday marked a major victory for opponents of proposed anti-piracy legislation Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and PROTECT IP Act (PIPA), which would target foreign-based websites violating U.S. copyrights.
House of Representatives bill SOPA and its Senate counterpart PIPA are designed to punish websites that make available, for example, free movies and music without the permission of the U.S. rights holders. Opponents of the bills, however, worry that the proposed laws would grant the Department of Justice too much regulatory power. Google Chairman Eric Schmidt has called the measures “draconian.” Other Internet giants who oppose the bill include Facebook, eBay, Mozilla, Twitter, and Huffington Post parent company AOL.
The White House on Saturday officially responded to two online petitions, “Stop the E-PARASITE Act” and “Veto the SOPA bill and any other future bills that threaten to diminish the free flow of information,” urging the President to reject SOPA and PIPA.
The statement was drawn up by Victoria Espinel, Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator at Office of Management and Budget, Aneesh Chopra, U.S. Chief Technology Officer, and Howard Schmidt, Special Assistant to the President and Cybersecurity Coordinator for National Security Staff. They made clear that the White House will not support legislation that disrupts the open standards of the Internet.
“While we believe that online piracy by foreign websites is a serious problem that requires a serious legislative response, we will not support legislation that reduces freedom of expression, increases cybersecurity risk, or undermines the dynamic, innovative global Internet,” the statement read in part.
The White House statement went on to say, however, that the Obama Administration believes “online piracy is a real problem that harms the American economy” and that 2012 should see the passage of narrower legislation that targets the source of foreign copyright infringement.
The letter also highlighted the following four points:
Any effort to combat online piracy must guard against the risk of online censorship of lawful activity and must not inhibit innovation by our dynamic businesses large and small. [...] We must avoid creating new cybersecurity risks or disrupting the underlying architecture of the Internet. [...] That is why the Administration calls on all sides to work together to pass sound legislation this year that provides prosecutors and rights holders new legal tools to combat online piracy originating beyond U.S. borders [...] We expect and encourage all private parties, including both content creators and Internet platform providers working together, to adopt voluntary measures and best practices to reduce online piracy.
This is not the end of the debate, the White House statement emphasized. “Moving forward, we will continue to work with Congress on a bipartisan basis on legislation that provides new tools needed in the global fight against piracy and counterfeiting, while vigorously defending an open Internet based on the values of free expression, privacy, security and innovation,” the letter also read.
Following the release of the White House’s statement, SOPA sponsor and House Judiciary Chairman (R-Texas) Lamar Smith issued a statement of his own.
“I welcome today’s announcement that the White House will support legislation to combat online piracy that protects free speech, the Internet and America’s intellectual property,” Smith said,according to The Hill. “That’s precisely what the Stop Online Piracy Act does.”
On Friday, CNET reported that Smith said he will remove from the bill one of the most hotly contested provisions, Domain Name System requirements. Previously, SOPA had called for DNS blocking of infringing websites.
On Thursday, PIPA author Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont) said that “more study” was needed to asses the bill’s DNS-blocking provision, the Wall Street Journal wrote.
The White House’s statement condemned DNS blocking in regulatory efforts and said that it “pose[s] a real risk to cybersecurity and yet leave contraband goods and services accessible online. We must avoid legislation that drives users to dangerous, unreliable DNS servers and puts next-generation security policies, such as the deployment of DNSSEC, at risk.”
A House Oversight Committee hearing on SOPA’s DNS-blocking provision had previously been scheduled for January 18. However, according to Tech Dirt, Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-California) said that the hearing will be postponed for the time being and that the focus now should be placed on the Senate’s PIPA bill, which Senate Majority leader Harry Reid has committed to moving forward in the next two weeks.
UPDATE: The Motion Picture Association of America Inc. (MPAA), the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce have each released a response to the White House’s position on SOPA and PIPA.
Michael O’Leary, Senior Executive Vice President for Global Policy and External Affairs for the MPAA said the following in a statement emailed to the HuffPost:
While we agree with the White House that protection against online piracy is vital, that protection must be meaningful to protect the people who have been and will continue to be victimized if legislation is not enacted. Meaningful legislation must include measured and reasonable remedies that include ad brokers, payment processors and search engines. They must be part of a solution that stops theft and protects American consumers. [...] On behalf of the 2.2 million Americans whose jobs depend on the film and television industries, we look forward to the Administration playing a constructive role in this process and working with us to pass legislation that will offer real protection for American jobs.
In the same email, Mitch Glazier, Senior Executive Vice President of the RIAA, said, “[L]egislation is of no benefit, nor will we support it, if it allows the leading Internet companies to direct law abiding consumers to unlawful and dangerous sites.”
David Hirschmann, President and CEO of the Global Intellectual Property Center at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, reiterated the Chamber’s strong support for both SOPA and PIPA. “The Administration’s main concern, centered on DNS issues, has already been addressed by both Senator Leahy and Representative Smith. We also applaud Senator Reid, Senator Leahy, and Representative Smith for their commitment to move forward with pending legislation through an open and bipartisan process,” Hirschmann said.
Readers: Speaking of the White House…
…I want to wish FLOTUS a very Happy Birthday!
Peace & Love…

First Lady Michelle Obama will be celebrating her birthday next week—so President Obama has written to supporters, asking all of us to sign her birthday card:
When you become president, one thing that happens overnight is that you and everyone you love get a bunch of new nicknames.
I was already pretty used to this. But “FLOTUS,” short for First Lady of the United States, is really something else.
I’m writing because our FLOTUS, Michelle, turns 48 on Tuesday, and I know I’m not her only fan out there.
The decision to become part of this campaign was deeply personal for a lot of people, and Michelle and I are no exception. But we both knew, like anyone else who believes in what we’re trying to do here, that this was never going to be easy.
This fall, Michelle and I will have been married 20 years. The next 10 months will be harder than any we’ve experienced together, and I couldn’t do it without her. I know she’d love to hear from you today:
http://my.barackobama.com/For-Michelle
Thanks for your support,
Barack
P.S. — This weekend, people are getting together to volunteer at service events in their communities in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Find out how you can join in here.
*******
Zen Lill: And a Big Happy Birthday to your Lilly! Wow…she is now a teenager. I HOPE that you both have a wonderful time celebrating!
Al: I agree with you. There is enough stress in this world – women don’t need the added stress of trying to be and look perfect. It is the imperfections that make us different and beautiful.
Nancy: Some men so easily dish it out but their egos can’t take it when the truth is thrown back at them. I remember Robert, Rt wrote a very long post about his view on dating/relationships. He noted…and this was rebutting a quote about “women initiating 70-75% divorces”…
“… This one is hardly worth the effort to disprove. How many men will put up with a nagging woman? How many men would stay with a woman none (sic) publicly to have cheated on him? How many men will stay in a marriage with a woman who has greater status and attention than he has? How many men will stay in a marriage with a woman who is terrible with the traditional women chores whether she works or not? Etc, etc, etc.”
“Women suffer all kinds of indignation’s, humiliations, infidelities, and physical cruelties to stay married to a man. How a woman could even consider that women initiate 70-75% of divorces says a lot about the effectiveness of subliminal power.”
I know you’re not married Nancy, but I think you get the point, and my purpose for quoting Robert. Your comment to your boyfriend about the size of his penis fits right in with Robert’s comment – “Women will suffer… yet how many men will put up with…?” Evidently you spoke up and yep, he could care less about the good times – he’s outta there. I say Good Riddance as well.
And as Zen Lill pointed out a few days ago, “…what man would put up with a woman who didn’t meet up to their surface standards and be a complete package to take care of their selfish needs, not many so why are we so awful for wanting what we want.” I say go get what you want, and like Zen Lill, I too am going to HOPE for you something and someone better.
Luc: Greed got the best of Jobs, and created the worse, suffering and death for so many humans. I’m just curious – you brought up that Steve Jobs had violated the agreement he made with the aliens to use the technology to bring the humans to a pre-agreed level. You brought up the pain and suffering of the Chinese – both duly noted. I know there was not enough room to list all of the details but I just have to ask: What about the pain and suffering of the women in Congo for Jobs using conflict minerals in his products for so many years? Was that part of it?
Readers: Please wish “FLOTUS” a wonderful birthday and then…blog me.
Peace & Love…
