Scenes from two different meals

http://oneutah.org/2009/04/15/scenes-from-two-different-meals/

The previous is a link from a blog of a former colleague and friend, Cliff Lyon. Cliff still lives in Utah and we had many hours of fabulous conversation about religion, politics, people and the world in general during our friendship.

I have linked the One Utah blog to mine to maintain my Utah ties, but also so that my regular readers might on occasion find something interesting to read.

This post was so stunning, I just had to share it - in light of the "tea parties" that took place around the country yesterday, in light of the President's high approval ratings, it seems fitting that we should read about such things.

Feedback appreciated - www.oneutah.org

Thanks.

Black caucus calls for more diversity in bailouts

Well, it had to happen and let the games begin.

It seems that the Black caucus has "called the President out" for not having enough women and minorities involved in the banking bailouts.

It is not enough that he has a council on women - the first President to do so that I can recall - it is not enough that the Attorney General is black - it is not enough that his wife is black - she could just have easily been white, given his bi-racial heritage - we all know that would not have played in the White House and McCain and Palin would be ruling the roost in that scenario - perish the thought.

I need to read GNN.com - more later.
