The Prop 8 “debate” annoys me – since only time will fix our mistakes – but, Russell Simmons’ Huff Post entry is spot on. Well done, sir!

Unfortunately, most of the arguments against these monumental advancements of our country’s history have been deeply rooted in religion; and in my opinion the misuse of religion. Let’s remove religion from this discussion, and focus on the greatest gift religion has given all of us, the ability to love. And as an African-American, I urge my own people to take a deep look at our own struggles and not wish them upon anyone else. Simply, civil rights for all is about being connected as humans, united, tolerant, loving and brave.

The less she yapped – Jesse, thank you – the less my ears rang…

I didn’t realize Ellen was this funny…

Sounds like she (knowingly or not) took some advice from Napoleon Hill with the letter she wrote when trying to figure out her life path.  Interesting.

Twitter, thank you.

Wow, this campaign doesn’t make much sense. And, then it got tagged.

Digg, thank you.

Like MSNBC – see yesterday’s BccList.com posting – Time Magazine is a year behind in their reporting.  Meaning, Time’s soon to be printed cover story claims that the GOP is an endangered species.

http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1896588,00.html

Why, yes – the GOP is rapidly becoming extinct/meaningless as originally seen on BccList.com here (June 7, 2008), here (November 1, 2008), here (February 14, 2009), here (April 11, 2009), here (April 22, 2009), and here (May 1, 2009).

MSNBC goes out on a limb (ha!) today and says Ford is positioned well…

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30576127

I think there is a ton of value in Ford (F) as originally seen on BccList.com here (June 21, 2008) , here (July 28, 2008), here (November 29, 2008) , and here (December 2, 2008).

The MSNBC article didn’t give any love to James Farley.  That’s a shame.

It was really embarrassing seeing this belt clip in public.

Times are either extraordinarily good for the pizza delivery business or really bad for bankers willing to sling pie.  The comfort and reliability of a Benz for all your needs – business or pleasure. I love it.

Anne, thank you.

Side note: This is what I used to deliver pizzas in…

I was hoping for a picture of a person wearing a surgical mask.

Instead, I got a video of a person wearing a gas mask.  Fair enough.

Art?  Humor?  Either way – FAIL!

One of the main reasons we should still believe in God – no, God didn’t help your favorite team win a game or your keys magically reappear – is because Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, John Boehner, Sean Hannity, Eric Cantor, Tom Delay, Ann Coulter, Michael Steele, Michelle Bachman, the Tea Parties, Mitt Romney, Glenn Beck, Mike Pence, Bobby Jindal, etc. have become the new face of the outdated republican party. This type of nut job “leadership” will ensure the GOP stays in the vast minority for a long, long time.

If the republicans want a shot of taking back the White House and/or having any sort of say in Congress, they’re going to have to act somewhat sane again like Ronald Reagan or George H.W. Bush.

Charlie Crist (popular Florida governor considering a run for US Senate) and Tim Pawlenty (popular Minnesota governor) can help regain legitimacy within the party and give Obama a run for his money in 2012.   Crist is a little too flamboyant/tan.  There are rumors he is gay though he recently got married.  This said, Crist wouldn’t be the best on top of the ticket in 2012 but would make a fine VP candidate.  Pawlenty is money – well, comparatively speaking to the rest of the GOP.

So, I now own – www.pawlentycrist.com.  “Inquiries” can be sent to: bcclistblog@gmail.com.  Serious inquiries only because the SOLE reason I registered this domain name – google “Taubman Sucks” – is that I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY like Pawlenty and Crist as politicians.  Hahahahah!

Side Note: http://www.pawlenty(enteranothercandidatesname).com and http://www.crist(enteranothercandidatesname).com – for the most part – are completely sold out.  Why would my two favorite politicians (ha) and the only sane choice for the GOP in 2012 – pawlentycrist.com – still be available?  Awesome.
