"and the hippos were boiled in their tanks" Kerouac book or poem or something like that.
I was just trying to decide where to post this
I figured you would not care too much if I put it here.
I know we both want somebody pure to be president, we sure don't want any hippocrits in there. We need sincerity now more than ever. Mabye somebody like Huckabee, you can bet your boots that nobody less hippo than him, except maybe George W Bush.
Strange flash back, I keep finding myself wanting to vote for McCain. They were right about me at litkicks. I guess I do need professional help.
anyway here is my post about Obama that I was going to put on jimbo's thread but he gets testy when I try to high jack one of his posts
maybe it kind of relates.
Not saying Obama is a hippo
Just thinking about how little I really know about him.
A lot of trash about Obama being a secrete muslim, we know that aint true. But what do we know about his religion. Sometimes I wish we had a state religion like England does. Our religious policy set by the government. I heard Bertrand Russell say in a lecture from the year 1927 that the privy council had set a new policy that Christians do not have to believe in Hell anymore.
Meanwhile back at Obama’s church in Chicago.
The church magazine picked Louis Louis Farrakhan as its person of the year,. I find that disquieting. If Profiles In Courage was written today there would have to be a chapter on Malcom X. I have always thought that Farrakhan had malcom’s blood on his hands. But Malcom’s daughter forgave him, who am I to be paranoid about Farrakhan
Obama's spiritual mentor
Powerhouse Chicago preacher draws attention, and plenty of controversy
Obama took the title of his more recent book, The Audacity of Hope, from the first sermon he heard preached by Wright, whom Obama met while working in Chicago as a community organizer.
In Dreams from My Father, Obama wrote of his reaction on hearing that sermon in 1988: "In that single note - hope! - I heard something else: At the foot of that cross, inside the thousands of churches across the city, I imagined the stories of ordinary black people merging with the stories of David and Goliath, Moses and the Pharaoh, the Christians in the Lion's Den, Ezekiel's field of dry bones. Those stories became our story, my story; the blood that had spilled was our blood, the tears our tears; until this black church on this bright day seemed once more a vessel carrying the story of a people into future generations and into a larger world."

I don’t guess anybody remembers Adam Clayton Powell.
