The mockery of the presidency has reached a new high as of late. George Bush referred to the Pope's speech as "awesome" in that crazy, but beautiful Texas twang (I love most Southern dialects). He also referred to the current recession as "a rough patch". Google it and see. "We're just going through a rough patch." You really can't blame him such a removed view of the world or even the common American for that manner. His dad was clueless too. Clinton's (Bill that is) campaign motto against him (George Sr.) was: It's the economy stupid. If I had $100 for every Bushism (or verbal blunder) this guy has made in the last 8 years, I am sure I would beat out Bill Gates as the world's second richest man.

What's wrong with this picture
http://atlantaballet.com/about/co_artists.htm
I thought it strange when I saw this on the web. Unless I overlooked someone of color, surely this must be a different Atlanta than the one I visited this past weekend (14 April 2008). Granted, I do know that there aren't that many ballet dancers of color. I thought (at least) in the "black" mecca of the south - surely there would be one. Perhaps, we have not progressed as far as I would like to think.
