The "cover story" isn't on the web, but the link goes to a Freepable poll, and the photos tell the story of a gushing puff piece timed to leverage His trip to Africa.
All democrats vote early and often and even after death.
Although my great aunt voted after death for W in 00. She voted absentee and died between then and the election.
And Jesse is apparently planning a big protest if the Cubs do not hire a black to replace Dusty Baker.
of course following the articles calling Cub fans all racists because of stuff directed at several black players.
I guess Todd Hundley must be black. Mark Prior has been booed too. Boy I knew Mark has been through a lot but didn't know he changed races.
Already Jesse and others have claimed Cubs fans hate Baker because he's black. I'm sure some do but most want him gone because he needs to go.
By the way jesse claims that Brian Urlacher is only popular because he's white. Nothing to do with him being one of the greatest ever to wear the navy blue and orange.
The same city who's sports Gods include Payton, Banks, Minoso, Billy Williams not to mention some Jordan guy. Yah we're racists all of us because Dusty and others got a few hate mails.
Men's Vogue?
I didn't know there was a Men's Vogue either. I happened to be in a drug store and happened to glance at the mag rack. Who knew?
...or Charles Schumer...
There's a Men's Vogue? Who's buying that?
Hope the Mets have Willie locked up in a long-term contract!

In other words, it became politically expedient for his career path to change that line on his resume.
If Congressman Bobby Jindal went to India, does anyone think he'd get one-quarter of the media attention that's been devoted to Obama? Where's the hype about the first Indian-American President?
"There's a Men's Vogue? Who's buying that?"
The pilot issue of Men’s Vogue, the only one that had been released in time for this review, has George Clooney on the cover. The prominence of white and gold in its color palette and the staid typography befit its target audience: men 35 or older with a take-home salary of $100,000-plus. Instead of serving as a “how-to,” the magazine assumes its reader is already accomplished.
It debuted on newsstands in September of 2005 with 400,000 copies, plus an additional 200,000 freebies sent to a select group of men culled from Condé Nast’s subscription list. Having surpassed the goal of 100,000 sold at newsstands, publisher Thomas Florio gave the green light to make the magazine a quarterly in 2006 and a monthly in 2007—despite the recent failure of Vitals, a pair of men’s and women’s shopping magazines out of Condé Nast’s sister company Fairchild Publications.
“The response was overwhelming,” said Ned Martel, deputy editor of the magazine. “We sold 195,000 on the newsstand alone, which is greater than any premier issue of any of Condé Nast’s publications.” According to Martel, because men’s magazines in general have grown much younger and hipper, they have alienated a number of older men. Men’s Vogue seeks to take advantage of this neglected market.
In summation, homos and metrosexuals, not always mutally exclusive events.

Guys, I'm not defending the fellow per se, but look.
1. The phrase "Faith of our fathers" is a common way of saying "The faith in which we were raised" (from the hymn of the same name). "His father's faith" is not sleight of hand, it's perfectly acceptable linguistic usage and a nice turn of phrase.
2. Muslims who publicly convert to Christianity are marked for death by their old religion. Obama would have to be more than just a fool to convert publicly just for the resume value -- he'd have to have a death wish.
If somebody's taken that risk against Islam, to accept Jesus Christ as his personal savior, I'm inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt and not mock his faith.
There are plenty of other things about him we can mock, but let's leave his turning to Jesus alone. If it's insincere, he'll have much Higher Authorities to answer to, than us, later on.
It's most likely not going to be a minority. Top candidates are Bob Brenley who is their current color analyst who led the Dbacks to the 2001 world championship, Lou Pinella, Sox coach Joey Cora (who is one), they'd love to pry away Joe Girardi from the Marlins and one other minority Freddy Gonzalez the 3rd base coach of the Braves.
If I had to lay money right now I'd put it on Brenley.
A showboating empty suit Democrat? Ya think?
Please don't misinterpret my comment as being anti-Christian, but this guy pinged my BS meter so hard I had to get it re-tuned.
This is ridiculous. If you don't like him, fine. He is a liberal and stands against everything I believe in. He is not a Muslim, he is a Christian. He has been a Christian for years. Making accusations like this is pointless. There are enough real issues to discuss without making things up.
"This guy is a Manchurian Muslim Candidate."
I thought this was your comment. It is an accusation and made up. If you didn't make it, I apologize.
