Today's wordpress:

    I think we ignore because we fear.  We fear that our blues and blahs are too much for us to handle, so we shove them back until they are in fact enormous.  We fear that our anxiety is ruling us, which makes us anxious, so we tune it out.  We fear our hyperactivity and distraction would need medication that would deaden us, so we sit on our hands.  In the meantime, think of how much good we could do simply by naming our problems, by confronting them, by giving them shape and color and tone.

I picked a really crazy week to decide that I was going to really do this thing, didn't I?
The good news is that seeing my page loads arch up to thirty and then slam down to zero is a great motivator to post every morning.

Today on wordpress:

“Obama would make a great black President.”

As long as we keep making judgments based off of race, we don’t have to ask ourselves if racism still exists.  The fact that racism exists is made obvious in the way we frame our discussions.  As long as there are perfectly coiffed blond women on network news asking breathlessly if Obama’s race will be a factor in people’s consideration of him, it’s being made a factor.

Looking at my blog stats, I find it humbling how many people are apparently reading my blog.  Yikes.  Intellectual content will continue to be on wordpress and plugged here, because, honestly, if I could make a couple of dollars a week blogging I'd be a happy little housewife.  :)
