Barack Is Getting A Lot Criticism/Praise...
...but we should withold our decisions until we hear from Oprah!
Not black enough
Rex Murphy: Princeton University professor Cornel West is as much a celebrity as scholar. He also happens claim to be a friend of Barack Obama. But if what West has taken to saying about Obama is coming from a friend, he doesn’t need enemies
Conrad Black: Oprah Winfrey, Middle America’s mother goddess
John Moore: Oprah Winfrey is the ultimate work in progress

Australia: "Racist" Baa Baa Black Sheep put out to pasture
We read:
"Black sheep are on the endangered species list as some children in north Queensland learn to sing Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep.The English nursery rhyme may have survived for 200-plus years but political correctness could finally put it out to pasture. Some schools in Britain have banned the song for being racist, but Pelicans Innisfail Child Care allows children to sing about black sheep or rainbow sheep.
Director Pam McLaughlin said some teachers sang the changed lyrics, and some children already knew the changes. "We just go with whatever the children want," Ms McLaughlin said. "The kids are just singing and having fun. Some sing black sheep, some sing rainbow sheep. It's just a song. "We don't have anything that says, 'You have to sing it this way'."
Australian National University social psychologist Michael Platow said he doubted Baa Baa Black Sheep would teach racism. "I don't know why a child would associate a black sheep with a black man," he said.

Not Really A Vacation...
MICHELLE O'S $375,000 VACATION?!
...IMHO it is a pre-campaign junket to get support for a run at the presidency. It looks like Barack might be supporting Oprah's campaign.

The claim that businessmen have not been charitable enough is wide of the mark
Altruism has always presented a puzzle to the crudely interpreted theory of evolution. How could such behaviour have evolved if nature was meant to be all red-in-tooth-and-claw survival of the fittest?
The answer, paradoxically, lay in genetic “selfishness,” which produced kinship, sympathy and other “moral sentiments” and promoted co-operation and a desire for reputation within tribal groups. However, the adaptive dark side of morality was that it promoted solidarity against tribal rivals. The remnants of that unpleasant fact persist in genocide, religious war and suicide bombing.
The greatest method for extending peaceful human relations came with the cultural evolution of “commercial society.” This promoted social interaction that not only tended to make participants better off, but encouraged and rewarded prudence, honesty and tolerance, and provided unprecedented opportunities for benevolence. Capitalism enabled individuals to become fabulously rich for the first time in human history without oppressing others. However, the taint of greed and exploitation remained from that vast stretch of human prehistory and history when the command of resources was synonymous with repression.
