Guess which story has been in the news for weeks, exhaustively discussed, and the subject of more Google search hits than any other subject lately?
You got it! Westminster Abbey hasn't seen so much action since Diana, or maybe Henry the Eighth.
Our US worldview seems rather distorted to me. More people voted for the American Idol nominees than the President of the United States. Some folks cannot decide if Mr. Obama was born in this country, and the consensus seems to be that he is Black. Not to mention African-American. I suppose there is some validity to the observation regarding his ethnicity, given that he grew up in Kenya.
How shortsighted is the color label, anyway? My DNA also came from that continent, and predates the Prez...So, I guess I qualify as an African-American as well. Or a American-African, depending on your preference.
I have never seen him in person, but he doesn't seem to be too black in most pictures. The "politically correct" description of him doesn't really appear to be accurate. Given that his mother was Caucasian, and his father from Kenya, there might be grounds to dispute the label most commonly espoused by newscasters and other pundits that he is "Black", whatever that might mean.
Enough about Obama. I voted for him, and hope he does well in his administration whether it lasts four years or is extended with a second term.
By the way, were you aware that the term "politically correct" goes back to the days of the Communist Party and its refusal to accept reality?
Babbling a bit. Hmmm...
Have you received it today?
Then give me some too.
