Obama and Rev. Wright's comments:Please...unfortunately many people will not see this for what it is-someone's way of planting the seed that Barack Obama if elected, will not meet the needs of ALL Americans and that he is one of those "evil" Black Nationalists left over from the 60s and early 70s.

Tunes for a desert island stay

Out of a conversation I had last night, I came up with the absolute must have music list for those who are on a stranded island. These are in no particular order of preference:

• Personal Jesus-Depeche Mode


• Anything by that Parliament-Funkadelic-P-Funk All Stars-Bootsie and the Rubberband-George Clinton---especially the usual suspects: "We want the Funk, One Nation Under a Groove, Aquaboogie, Bootzilla, Atomic Dog


• No list would be complete without the New Order/Joy Division collection---again the usual suspects: Regret, Ruined In a Day, Dead Souls, Love Will Tear Us Apart, Transmission, She's Lost Control, True Faith, Bizarre Love Triangle, Digital, The Perfect Kiss, Dreams Never End, Here To Stay


• Baby Love-Regina (Richards)


• Selections from Cappadonna's "The Pillage" --Everything Is Everything, Black Boy, Slang Editorial, The Pillage


• Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash


• Hank Williams' I Heard That Lonesome Whistle Blow


• Anything by the Stylistics and the Spinners would be great


• Aimee Mann and the Japanese group Flow --nuff said
