OPEN LETTER TO TOM JOYNER
- From: Mliza
- Description:
  
  Open Letter to Tom Joyner:
         First of all, Mr. Joyner, I cannot contact you without first expressing my exceedingly high regard for you and all that you do, especially pertaining to your excellent support of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Voting Rights and Responsibilities, and Family Health Care promotion -- to mention a few. It is especially because of this high esteem that it is somewhat difficult to utilze this opportunity to “take you to task” about a matter you have not only overlooked these past months, but have actually become grossly negligent for quite some time. The “bone of contention” that we must “machinate” upon is your neglectful ownership of a website called “Inauguration Day 2009.” Tom, this is one time you started something that you have not finished. That is so unlike you. Your “Inauguration Day 2009” site serves as an excellent opportunity to promote social and political responsibility from your listeners. Through it you have attracted and inspired a small, diverse, capable, talented, noteworthy, verbal group of followers – some of whom have still managed to maintain communications on the site by addressing many of the important public issues of our times. I don’t know why they have chosen to hang on, but they have; and it may be for a purpose greater than you even realize just now. It is simply incredulous that you have allowed this significant opportunity to go to waste.
         Tom, you are so savvy, that it is quite a wonder that you have not realized this yet. “Inauguration Day 2009” is an untapped resource that could be mobilized at your fingertips for helping to move and persuade public opinion, but you have chosen not to use it. You seem much more interested in the hottest new craze of text-messaging limited-content notes, rather than encouraging serious, in-depth discussion of issues that can “put the world’s mess to the test.” I have sent you a “Friend Request” that has lain dormant for nearly a year now. J. Anthony Brown and Sherryl Underwood are no better, because they have abandoned the site like their leader. And the usually astute Sybil Wilkes has not even chosen to create a page. Why is that? None of you has even been on the site for nearly a year. This is very frustrating. If the creator of the site shows no interest and concern, then the membership becomes truly uninspired, unresponsive, and thus most are inactive. Yet, somehow, a few newcomers appear about each month or so. So I have decided to begin welcoming them for YOU. I could have seen this site become a rallying point of writers, journalists, and thinkers, as well as anyone else in cultivating responses and actions that were sorely needed during the Congressional hearings this summer and elsewhere. We longed for a glimpse at other thoughts than those that screamed and screeched out at us over the media. And undoubtedly there are more scintillating times yet to come. With the publication of this Open Letter on my page of your site, as well as more directly in your contact point on Black America Web, I am hoping for a valid response. I must tell you in all candor, I expect no less than the best from you. That’s what you have given to the world so many times over – you can’t stop now.
         In the meantime, I am going to try my best to encourage a little mobilizing on my own from those who are still thriving. But the effort would be so much more appealing coming from you. Finally, please explain the meaning of the site name. It may inspire more tenacity from more people. You are one of the cleverest businessmen we have encountered; surely you can find the means to make this site soar. Thank you in advance for your kind consideration of this request.
  
  P.S. Most sites allow users to add photos. Yours does not allow us to do that. So you obviously intended for this to be solely a talk site. But come on, Tom, at least let us add graphics or something to increase the interest on this site for those that come on but are not "writers or talkers" yet. Give us something more to peak our interest. Please talk with your site designers about that. We need a few moe perks, I believe. Too many join and are never heard from again.

Anybody Know The Rationale for
- From: Mliza
- Description:
  
  Maybe I missed something somewhere. I don't get out that much (Just funning!) What I really mean to say is that I don't come INSIDE this site that much. I must have missed why my main man, Tom Joyner, created this site anyway, and why he named it Inauguration Day 2009. Anyone out there want to clear that up for me?
  Well, for me, Tom "can do no wrong." and if he wants to create such a site and give it such a name, who am I to dissuade him. I'm all for that. In fact I'll just join him. And did. It's just that i'm usually considered a rational person and want to understand everything that I decide to become connected to. So what's wrong with that? Can anyone out there help me?
  I don't even know how I really got onto this site. Just clicked on somewhere out of curiosity, I guess. And you know these things -- you have to create some footage, give up some information to get what you want. But since I have done that, I have come in contact with some interesting people on occasion. I think this site will soon be growing and will become as popular as any of the others. I just want someone to explain to me where it is really heading. Come on, Tom. You know I also have a connection to Black America Web and get information about your show and business periodically on that.
  Well, at least I can see one main, great value in this connection: It gives me a forum to say somewhere what I never have access to that's going on on the daily TJMS show. Am I the only one who doesn't even try to win the $1,000 4 times daily? Regardless of how much I could use it, I never could get through anyway (And to think there is someone who won it 3 times. Oh Glory!). For that matter, I never can seem to keep up with all three numbers: If I hear 1 and 2, I'll never hear 3. Most of the time I hear 2 and 3 and would have missed #1. But haven't there been so many whenever I wanted to say something back to J. Anthony Brown or even Sybil or a guest but I could not do so because I would never be able to get through on the phone that soon. So here is a place I can express myself: Even Rant and Rave! So if nothing else, there is the value in this. But that's my side of the story and I'm sticking to it. What say You?

Tom listeners in Chicago area
- From: ttskt1
- Description:
  
  I can't count the number of years I have been awakened by the TJMS. Jay Anthony Brown cracking his jokes; sible wilk claiming to be "miss goodie 2shoe"; boy will I miss them. I didn't get the chance to ask them what ever happened to "Dee Whiteman" or even Ms Dupree. Its as though someone has died; I really wasn't trying to hear on the local news that he had been let go by Clear Channel. It was my information source and I will miss him terribly.
  After trying to listen to Steve Harvey this morning it wasn't the same; no disrespect to Steve, because I respect him as a successful black man doing his thing and doing what he do, but I like what I like and the TJMS supply an abundance of information to his listeners in Chicago; all I could do was turn off my radio; DAMN
  Bye Tom; I just joined this site; I'm powerless of your demise here in Chicago, but I'm not powerless over logging into Blackamericaweb and keeping in touch; Thanks for all you do; keep doing it. I'll have to find a way to continue on without hearing the TJMS each morning.

Banes & Noble and Sybil
- From: brydie13
- Description:
  
  While listening to the TJMS this morning I was apalled by Sybil's insanity. Why she is allowed to display her high and mighty attitude day after day really perplexes me. She is rude crass and downright abusive to people who call in. While no one likes the situation with Barnes and Noble and it was something no one wanted to happen and perhaps the man from Barnes and Noble did not answer the way Sybil thought he should have, he was never given time to say what he wanted to say. Even Roland could not say much. Frankly, the whole thing turned me off and after 10 plus years of listening I will not be tuning in to the show anymore. I am fed up with the silliness and stupidity day after day. It is one thing to have good clean fun, but it is another to be nasty to people and Sybil and her pious attitude to almost everyone who calls in has gone on long enough. Tom, you sit there and say nothing to Sybil or J. Anthony Brown who thinks everything is funny. No matter what is brought up, no matter how serious he makes a joke out of it. Are you so desperate for a laugh that you don't care what or who you make fun of? I am tired of hearing Tom say, "I am just a DJ. Does this make you less of a person? You have worked hard and done some pretty amazing things for people especially HBCU's, Take a Love One to the Doctor, keeping the community informed, the many things you have done go on and on. Do not let Sybil destroy what you have worked so hard for with her arrogance and wanna be attitude. She is just riding on the coat tail of all that YOU have worked so hard for. The true measure of one's intelligence is not how much you can belittle people but how you use that knowledge to help and inspire people. Sybil is out of control and she needs to reeled in before you have no one listening to you. Peace!

I LOVE THE TJMS
- From: nmcgee8198
- Description:
  
  I love the TJMS. Sometimes, I am not able to listen to radio but I go on line and listen and I really have a ball listening to what I missed. Everyone is wonderful. I love Cheryl Underwood and sometimes when I am feeling sad, I will go back and listen to her over and over. I love Jay Anthony Brown murdering the hits. Tom and Sybil keep me knowledgable. I have more people listening now because I would have so much information and they became jealous and I told them that I would get a great deal of my information from TJMS. During the election, this site was like fine gold. I would send information and everyone would just scream. Roland Martin, DL Hughley and the rest of the TJMS crew really do an outstanding job. Jeff Johnson is a wealth of knowledge. I enjoy him on CNN as well. I know we are going through but I just wanted to say how much you guys are appeciated.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH AT WHAT COST
- From: nmcgee8198
- Description:
  
  As I listen to the pathetic apology from the Post, my mind goes back to better days when we only had 2, 5, 7 and 9. Now that we have 24 hour news, it has become increasingly more like a Circus. When I sit and hear of people actually wanting to kill a woman for having 8 children. If the mother is dead what will happen to the children and please do not tell me about Children and Family Service. When I see that someone can actually have a picture of a monkey being shot by policemen and just the other day on the news, we heard of some police plotting to kill President Obama, I think it is time that we take the media to task. David Duke had talked of a race riot if President Obama won the election and believe you me, it seems as if the media is trying to start one. Someone should hold these people accountable for their actions. Whenever they talked about Calle Anthony, they had to show her picture. That was a hard thing to see a child that has gone through what she had gone through and after she was found, they still showed the pictures. Whenever I hear these people, I think of the crowds, that the media showed during McCain's campaign that wanted to hurt President Obama. This lynch mob mentality is rising it's ugly head again. When I was young, I remember the old cowboy movies and they would want to string someone up. The media is bringing this mindset back. Please let them find some old Shirley Temple Movies for them to watch so that they can go somewhere and stop wanting to kill. PETA wants to save the animals but wants to kill the mother of 14 children. My new mindset is not to buy from or watch any news agency or newspaper that allows this type of mindset to exist. I do not watch Fox Cable News with Hannity or O'Reilly and I have advised everyone that I know not to watch them or buy anymore Post articles. We are going through financially and we can have a say in what the media has to say. They have taken Freedom of Speech to a whole new level.

President Barack Obama: Change
- From: E_Joyce

  I started this on my birthday. as I had a tradition, over the last seven years, of writing a reflective piece to honor the experiences of the passing year and to offer homage to what the future brings. This past year, and the year 2009 have a special significance. We had a presidential election and for the first time I got involved, voicing my views, responding to those of others, watching how humans reacted and responded to changes in nationally held social and political paradigms and documenting it all. I decided to walk my talk; getting involved in supporting the candidates I felt best represented my political views, who had a vision for what they wanted to accomplish, and the character, intelligence, courage and competence to achieve that vision. My birthday, my mother’s birthday and the birth date of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is January 15^th; in fact, my mother and Dr. King were born on the same day. My mother lived in a time and place where prejudice and discrimination was the norm in the small town of Franklin, Tennessee. I am full of excitement and great anticipation, for her as much as myself, as the inauguration of President-elect Barack Hussein Obama as the forty-fourth president of the United States is hours away.
  I blogged and wrote articles right up to the day of the presidential election. I was at City Hall to work the polls on Election Day, worried over the behind the scenes chaos with the absentee ballots as human behavior became a looming factor while the minutes before the closing of the polls dwindled away. I was determined to gain the ultimate experience of that historical night, so I dragged myself downtown to the Democrat’s party here in this so-called red state. Lo and behold, not only did this red state turn blue, I was stunned when the words flashed on the big screen and the crowd roared, as the media announced that Barack Obama would become our forty-fourth president of the United States. I could not help but cry.
  As the months and days pass, the economy tanks, the strife between neighboring countries escalates, natural disasters continue, yet, gas prices magically drop amid all of the insanity on Wall Street and white collared crooks began to rise to the surface like cream in a bottle milked dry, a man with a plan began to gather his team, choose his plays and prepare to implement his vision of what it would take for this country to rise from the economic ashes it was mired in. All the while, corporate media continued to beat its critical drum albeit with more covert and muted banging, and -- to its discredit -- the Republican Party did what it has always done, continuing to eat its sour grapes, while verbally cannibalizing itself.   But I was exhausted and my writing turned back to my creative self, as my book was unexpectedly picked up and published while the economy continued its freefall, taking with it the artists and art industry of all genres – from visual to literature, from film to music. Michael Anthony Brown, a native D.C. artist, was so inspired by the election of Barack Obama, he created an amazing painting that is priceless (and he is retaining) but did decide to share it with the world by reproducing it as a poster. I saw the piece and was inspired to write his artist statement:
  Vision. Hope. Change. Four years ago, an unassuming voice rose from obscurity to center stage of the National Democratic Convention, initiating the most incredible political journey in our nation’s history. A ground swell of support, a monumental grassroots effort, engaged the young, not so young, men, women, even children in a national dialogue about change.
  Barack H. Obama will become the forty-fourth President of the United States on January 20, 2009. He will become the first American of color and African descent to attain the most powerful position in the country, transcending the myths, stereotypes, labels, and politics as usual in the process. It is a role he does not take lightly and did not come easily. His journey began before he was born. Thousands of steps taken through the shadows of history cleared the path Obama was destined to follow, culminating in his successful hard-fought election to an office most only dream of. Many footsteps taken, many voices lifted, those who in their own right as ground breaking leaders, as historians, activists, artists, scientists, musicians, politicians, doctors, nurses, lawyers, ministers, housemaids, writers, and yes, community organizers who had the courage to walk their talk, who acted upon their vision and determined that they had a part to play in shaping the fabric out of which this country, our country, the United States is built. From the life-saving heroism of Harriet Tubman, to the legal judgment of Thurgood Marshall, from the theatric voice of Paul Robeson to wordsmith Zora Neal Hurston, the dance of Twyla Tharp to the philosophy and leadership of Mahatma Ghandi, well over one hundred historical images have been artistically woven into the fabric of President Obama’s shirt and chronicled in the matting surrounding the painting. This painting captures the demonstrated humility, integrity and heart of a man who has – as the visionary leaders preceding him – setting aside personal pursuits in sacrifice for the greater good. And he is not alone in this sacrifice. Behind every great man there is the support of a strong and capable woman, whose greater sacrifice, along with that of family and friends demonstrates a generosity of heart and a shared vision of what can be accomplished. Michelle Obama’s decision to support the candidacy of Barack Obama is an unsung sacrifice of great proportion. Without her, we would not be celebrating this crossroads in U.S. history. This work of art is a passionate delineation of history honoring our past, celebrating our future. As a people uniting, one nation, irrevocably connected by the common crises of economic, ecological and societal devastation, working toward the common goal of resurrecting ourselves as global citizens of a diverse community, in hope of shattering the racial paradigms long held as truth,. We each have our own journey to take, our own path to make during these challenging times. Change is the operative action; we must begin to walk our own talk, willing to make our individual sacrifices for the common good of our families, our neighbors, our selves. We must be realistically optimistic about what can be accomplished. The journey will not be without challenges, neither the path nor the leader will be perfect, but with continued clarity in vision, hope in the teamed efforts made by we the people, Change will come.
  Change. Change your behavior, change your paradigm, change your mind, change your actions, change the outcome, Change. Change takes time, change takes patience, change takes effort, change takes trying, change takes setbacks, change takes you, change takes me, Change. Here is what I know: President Barack Obama is not superman, he is human. He is not perfect, because humans can never be perfect, but that in itself is a separate topic and I don’t want to digress. He will not be a perfect president; there will be missteps. To expect miracles, to expect immediate results, is setting him -- and yourself -- up for sure failure. What we do have, can be assured of, is that he is visionary and a genuine leader. A true leader serves, includes, directs, listens, collaborates, responds versus reacts, did I say listens, knows when to say when, knows how to say I made a mistake, now how can we resolve it? His greatest power is in his need not to abuse it, instead he uses it to serve, lift up, empower others who thought they lacked a voice or had a choice. He does not fear the one thing that defines long term success, yet most don’t have the courage nor the sense of self to realize: that you surround yourself with those who are more experienced, smarter, more creative, more knowledge, more strategic acumen than you do, yet share your vision – even if their concept of how to achieve that vision may differ from his. And that concept should differ when there is a better answer to the question, a better solution to the problem.   “Yes men or women” are not necessary on the team of a real leader. You see, a true leader does not need an echo of his own voice, he needs a team that encourages him to make the right choice.(Besides, how boring would it be, if everyone I talked to sounded just like me?)
  
  To that end, I have this to say to those insistent upon their attempts to micromanage every move that our new President takes, those who continue to believe that they are right, that there is no way that this President is the best choice for our country: If anyone has done the same comprehensive study and consideration that the team President Obama put together and comes up with a better idea, then put it on the table immediately; I am certain he will listen. If not, criticism from Congress, Right wingers, media or any other armchair quarterbacks -- without any alternative solution -- is worthless noise. His decisions may not be perfect and please everyone, he may not move on matters as quickly as you or I would like, but we are in uncharted territory. We have two wars, a flat-lining national and global economy, fighting between other countries that will ultimately affect us, not to mention a myriad of social, environmental and human rights issues that require attention. Patience and restraint is required. I also suggest that each of us should contact those who represent us in Congress and let them know where we stand as individuals and that we expect them to voice our points of view through their votes. We do not have time to play political kid games or placate those who believe their personal position is more important than the state of our nation. It is our individual responsibility to hold them accountable for what they do. Because what they do – or don’t do – affects you, affects me.
  While we are waiting for change to come at the government level, we too have to put some skin in the Change game. It would be tragic to allow that one word – change -- to become a cliché as useless as a New Year’s resolution. One person   -- you -- can change society one step, one person, one community at a time. You can change the paradigms within your self, your family, your school, your community, your job, your city, your state, and collectively, your, no our, nation. We must talk less, act more. Stop waiting for your ship to come in; figure out how to build a boat, get in it and row. It has become the cliché to say that our children are our future. The reality is that they are the mirror reflecting us. Kids do – and believe -- what they see. It is one thing to tell children what to do – quite another to show them.   If you have lost your self, you cannot expect them to follow your direction to the path down which they need to go. I/You/me have plenty to work on while we wait for change to come from the external sources.
  I/you/we have individual and collective responsibilities; if we aren’t a part of the solution, then we are indeed a part of the problem. Small changes, big changes. Change that moves me/you/us forward, no matter what size it comes in, is growth. Collectively, all change has a big impact. Hugging your children more, yelling at them less, teaching them the difference between breaking a rule and making a mistake – that is change. Choosing to listen and learn who people are, rather than assuming their position in our society – that is change. Picking up the trash on the street where you live, checking in on the elderly couple across the street – that is a change. Become an advocate for creating neighborhood schools – that is change.   I thought about writing more, but I think that maybe less is more. I am anxious and excited to see what change will ultimately look like four years, two years, one year, from today. Don't get it twisted. Dr. King would agree: this is just the beginning, we are just getting started. Change is gonna come. It’s up to us to determine how.

Release: DC Artist Commemorate
- From: E_Joyce
- Description:
  
  It was almost incomprehensible: Barack Obama would become the forty-fourth president of the United States. As an artist Michael Anthony Brown, a sculptor and painter, felt compelled to document this historic event in his own inimitable way: through his art.
  
  Michael Anthony Brown, a native of Washington DC is a fine artist known for his detailed paintings and sculptures. Brown's unique inclusion of hidden -- usually historical or symbolic -- objects is an expected pleasure for those who have followed his artistic career and a surprise for those who are yet to discover his work. He uses his very detailed work to reach back and draw the path journeyed through history as clearly communicated in the sculpture Call of Freedom and the etching Stars and Stripes. With the historic election of Barack Obama as president of the United States, Michael Anthony Brown was inspired to create a painting that commemorates the history and captures the spirit of this event. The creator of the official poster commemorating the Million Man March in 1995, Brown rarely creates work that is reproduced for the general public. This poster is one of the very few works that the artist has allowed to be mass produced. The painting, Obama Hope, incorporates over one hundred images of those whose individual and collective, historical and cultural contributions paved the way to the inauguration of Barack Obama as president of the United States. Still inspired, Brown is developing future work as a part of a series, so stay tuned. The poster is now available on the website www.obamaworks.com .For interviews or further information about the artist or the commemorative poster, contact E. Joyce Moore on 317.258.3935.

  My voting location in Atlanta, GA is at Welcome All Road, which is confirmed on the GA Voter Location website; however, the location is closed with no signs indicating the new location. My husband, along with other voters researched and located the new voter location in College Park, GA. It certainly would have been nice to have been notified by email, mail, phone call or the GA Voter Location updated to reflect the new location. YES! This is in a predominately African American community. A message was left for Anthony Glover, Head of Elections for Fulton County 404-730-7072.

Live Election Night Blogging!
- From: TheFlyJock
- Description:
  
  Fired up, and ready to blog!
  This will be our last Live Blog Party related to the history-making 2008 presidential election. And as we celebrate the history that is unfolding before us, we can’t forget about the history we’ve made ourselves. The Live Blog Party, covering the vice presidential debate, was a first for us -- and you made it a success by logging on in big numbers. By the third Live Blog Party, so many of you showed up -- close to 10,000 -- we caused the site to crash. It was like a house party that got so crowded that someone called the cops.
  Today, we made history again by being granted exclusive rights to broadcast the TJMS at the official Obama headquarters in Chicago. If you ever wondered whether Obama was really going to “do anything” for black people, he started this morning by putting us where everyone else in the media business wanted to be.
  So as we come to end of this thing together, I can barely contain myself. I’m ready to celebrate now but I know I need to wait until it’s official. In fact, I don’t think I’ll celebrate until every single vote is counted. In the meantime, let’s
  do the darn thing together.
  I’m here at Grant Park in Chicago where Barack Obama will make his acceptance speech, and you’re here with me, just as you should be. Your love, your prayers, and your votes made it all possible.
  Check me out live on TV One as I bring you reports, updates and hopefully some breaking news that will Barack the world!
  Oh, before I forget, we’ve got drinking games. Take a sip every time our man gets a blue state. I’ll announce the next game later, and if you have any suggestions, hit me on the blog. See you at the official after party on the TJMS!
  ---
  6:14 p.m.: We've got a lot in store for you on this historic night. We'll be chatting about election results plus any news stories that I think you'd be interested in.
  6:15 p.m.: Stay with me, people. It might be a long night.
  6:15 p.m.: According to Jacque Reid, Vermont just called for Barack!
  6:17 p.m.: Are you as nervous as I am? I don't remember being this excited, ever! And I've done a lot of stuff.
  6:18 p.m.: Did you check out the show this morning? We were up in there ... I'm talking about the official Obama headquarters in Chicago, and we were granted exclusive rights. That means we were in there by ourselves.
  6:20 p.m.: Let's start the drinking game now that we know Vermont just came in for Barack ... every time we get a blue state, take a drink!
  6:21 p.m.: McCain just got Kentucky. Obama has 3 electoral votes and McCain has 8. Our magic number is 270!
  6:23 p.m.: On the show this morning, Obama played a game of basketball at a gym on Chicago's west side. Is that Black enough for you? Is that cool enough for you?
  6:25 p.m.: Were you checking me out on TV One? How's my hair?
  6:29 p.m.: Did you all see Obama and his family go the polls and vote this morning? Imagine going with your daddy to vote ... for himself!
  6:30 p.m.: We've seen it in the movies, we've seen it on TV and now it's about to be real, our first black president.
  6:32 p.m.: I know you're watching TV, but don't forget about all the coverage on BlackAmericaWeb.com. We've got your black!
  6:37 p.m.: What do you think will BO's first official act will be? What should it be? Launching universal health care, ending the war, giving us every Friday off? Let me know what you think it will be.
  6:44 p.m.: Things are looking good so far, BO is ahead. But remember it's the battleground states that count: Virginia , Ohio and Pennsylvania.
  6:44 p.m.: When we get those three, we'll be in there!
  6:46 p.m.: Are you checking out the blue states? You ought to be a little tipsy.
  6:50 p.m.: I wish you could be here in Grant Park with me. Everybody is cheering and chanting already.
  6:51 p.m.: And it's getting cold too. It started out nice and warm. Then it remembered it's November ... in Chicago!
  6:51 p.m.: The polls have closed in Ohio and North Carolina.
  6:56 p.m.: Don't get scurred, but in Toledo, Ohio police have issued riot gear. Holy Toledo!
  7:01 p.m.: McCain has 16 electoral votes, Obama has 3! Don't slap anybody, it's early.
  7:03 p.m.: That's a touchdown, and two field goals. We can do this, baby ... yes, we can!
  7:08 p.m.: Obama takes Pennsylvania!
  7:10 p.m. Florida is still too close to call.
  7:12 p.m.: McCain took Tennessee and Oklahoma. What would you expect from an old guy? No offense, Tulsa and Memphis ...
  7:13 p.m.: Memphis, the home of Stax records and the one of the best civil rights museums in the country. Oh, well!
  7:14 p.m.: McCain is projected to win in South Carolina. I ought to whip J. Anthony Brown's behind. He promised us his home state. Well, I'll bet Columbia came through for us!
  7:16 p.m.: Thanks for those comments about what Obama should do when he gets in. My favorite was to fix the election machinery ... Good one, VA55! Keep them coming!
  7:17 p.m.: Nationally, Obama has 53 percent, McCain 46 percent.
  7:21 p.m.: CNN projects New Jersey, Connecticut and Illinois for Obama. I think Illinois is a duh! Except Al Gore didnt take his homestate of Tennessee when he ran, so go figure. If I was running for prez, I might not win, but I'd damn well take Tuskegee!
  7:22 p.m.: How you guys holding up? it's only a little past 7 p.m. Central!
  7:28 p.m. We are ghetto fabulous here. I wish you could see our set up. we're blogging, and it''s dark, so Rev. Marcia Dyson, Michael Eric Dyson's wife, brought us a lamp out of her hotel room! Pretty gangster, huh? That's how we do it!
  7:29 p.m.: People are borrowing press badges so they can eat for free.
  7:29 p.m.: Someone is borrowing our power cord so they can power up their computer.
  7:30 p.m.: The only thing missing? No one is selling black love incense. Yet.
  7:31 p.m.: What song do you think Obama will rock when he first moves into the White House?
  7:32 p.m.: I think it will be "One Nation Under a Groove."
  7:33 p.m.: Whoever asked whether there was a doctor in the house was right! My heart is racing, too.
  7:36 p.m.: Not since I got my first slow dance has my heart beat like this.
  7:37 p.m.: When have you been this excited about anything? Tell me what it was.
  7:38 p.m.: CNN has projected that Obama will take New Hampshire!
  7:43 p.m.: So far, 2,500 of you have dropped by our Live Blog Party so far. Tell your friends about it! Have them join us!
  7:44 p.m.: Fox has projected that mC will win Alabama and Arkansas.
  7:46 p.m.: If he wins Alabama, I guess I can't say anything to J. about him winning South Carolina. Sybil will be the only one with bragging rights since Obama won Illinois.
  7:59 p.m.: It's cold out here. I'm wondering if I can blog wearing mittens.
  8:00 p.m.: Take two drinks for Obama winning Pennsylvania; it's a big state. And have a cheesesteak!
  8:06 p.m.: Wisconsin, New York, Michigan and Rhode Island all went to Obama! That's four drinks ...
  8:07 p.m.: It's too close to call in Arizona! See there, McCain -- that King holiday thing might be coming back to bite you!
  8:11 p.m.: Are y'all doing special watch parties for tonight? The Queen of Soul is having a pajama party at a casino in Detroit. A school in sunny south Dallas is having a sleep over for fourth, fifth and sixth graders. What are you doing to celebrate this great evening?
  8:20 p.m.: Are you checking out TV One? Don't forget to get your updates from BlackAmericaWeb.com. We're all you need!
  8:28 p.m.: So, I'm wondering what hit I should play tomorrow. You be me and choose. Whatever it is, it's got to be funky!
  8:29 p.m.: MSNBC is projecting that obama will win Ohio. We are so close!
  8:36 p.m.: It's official: We just took Ohio!
  8:40 p.m.: We're 76 electoral votes away from making history! Come on, California, and other big states. Let's do this.
  8:46 p.m.: For all you ladies out there, Common just walked by.
  8:49 p.m.: I like what you're saying, Blackmanforblackman08. It is time for us to go higher and represent. All eyes are going to be on us for real now.
  8:50 p.m.: Oprah and Lynn Whitfield just walked by.
  8:56 p.m.: So many of you are saying you're afraid to trust what you're hearing from the mainstream media. I hear you. That's why we're here.
  8:57 p.m.: DDarling, I hear you. "Ain't No Stopping Us Now" is a great suggestion for tomorrow morning. If you can top that one, let me know. I've got to jam all morning long!
  9:02 p.m.: People are screaming ... something good must be happening.
  9:05 p.m.: Speaking of good news, MSNBC has called Iowa for Obama. It's too close to call in Montana, North Carolina and Virginia and too early to call in Nevada and Colorado. McCain is up by about 9,000 votes in Indiana.
  9:09 p.m.: Yeah, dskobb! I'm with you on the things we need to concentrate on -- health care, education reform and the economy.
  9:15 p.m.: So the rumor is Oprah may get a cabinet position with Obama. what do you think she should be? Secretary of State? Secretary of Talk Shows? What? Let me know. And who else should get a position? Hill Harper? Common? Maria Shriver? Mmmm ... Tom Joyner?
  9:17 p.m.: It's getting good! This thing could be over in 30 minutes, I just overheard someone very important say. The helium people need to start filling the balloons. This thing is about to jump off -- in our lifetime!
  9:20 p.m.: But not so fast ... let's wait until it's official. We've been tricked before.
  9:25 p.m: But I really think we've got this. When will you be sure? Who do you have to hear it from?
  9:29 p.m.: How many of you are having a prayer service at church like Rev. Al Sharpton suggested? And if you are at church, are you playing the drinking game with communion wine? That's just wrong ... wrong for me to say and wrong for you to do!
  9:39 p.m.: Obama 207, McCain 136. Do the math, baby! Our magic number is 270!
  9:40 p.m.: Fired up, ready to win!
  9:46 p.m.: McCain just won South Dakota and its 3 electoral college votes. I don't think we expected to win South Dakota. But we would take it!
  9:47 p.m.: They're blasting the music here. That's gotta mean something good.
  9:51 p.m.: Red states are turning blue. Its starting to look like a Zeta convention! Sorry, Deltas ...
  9:53 p.m.: I just saw Oprah coming out the porta-potty. That's worth about 30 electoral college votes alone. I'm calling it!
  9:55 p.m.: I'm bouncing like a bad check.
  10:03 p.m.: In our lifetime!
  10:04 p.m. Who would have believed it?
  10:05 p.m.: Do you believe in miracles?
  10:10 p.m.: This party is over. And it's just beginning!
  10:11 p.m.: J. just called, and he's crying like a you-know-what! And I'm not mad at him!

Election Day 2008
- From: TheFlyJock
- Description:
  
  Fired up, and ready to blog!
  This will be our last Live Blog Party related to the history-making 2008 presidential election. And as we celebrate the history that is unfolding before us, we can’t forget about the history we’ve made ourselves. The Live Blog Party, covering the vice presidential debate, was a first for us -- and you made it a success by logging on in big numbers. By the third Live Blog Party, so many of you showed up -- close to 10,000 -- we caused the site to crash. It was like a house party that got so crowded that someone called the cops.
  Today, we made history again by being granted exclusive rights to broadcast the TJMS at the official Obama headquarters in Chicago. If you ever wondered whether Obama was really going to “do anything” for black people, he started this morning by putting us where everyone else in the media business wanted to be.
  So as we come to end of this thing together, I can barely contain myself. I’m ready to celebrate now but I know I need to wait until it’s official. In fact, I don’t think I’ll celebrate until every single vote is counted. In the meantime, let’s
  do the darn thing together.
  I’m here at Grant Park in Chicago where Barack Obama will make his acceptance speech, and you’re here with me, just as you should be. Your love, your prayers, and your votes made it all possible.
  Check me out live on Radio One as I bring you reports, updates and hopefully some breaking news that will Barack the world!
  Oh, before I forget, we’ve got drinking games. Take a sip every time our man gets a blue state. I’ll announce the next game later, and if you have any suggestions, hit me on the blog. See you at the official after party on the TJMS!

  I'm of two minds about how to deal with the McCain campaign's further descent into ugliness. Their strategy is simple: you throw crap against a wall and then giggle as the media try to analyze the putresence in a way that conveys a sense of balance: "Well, it is bull-pucky, but the splatter pattern is interesting..." which, of course, only serves to get your perverse message out. I really don't want to be a part of that. But...every so often, we journalists have a duty to remind readers just how dingy the McCain campaign, and its right-wing acolytes in the media (I'm looking at you, Sean Hannity) have become--especially in their efforts to divert public attention from the economic crisis we're facing. And so inept at it: other campaigns have decided that their only shot is going negative, but usually they don't announce it, as several McCain aides have in recent days--there's no way we can win on the economy, so we're going to go sludge-diving.
  But since we are dealing with manure here, I'll put the rest of this post below the fold.
  Article Body End
  It is appropriate that the prime vessel for this assault is Sarah Palin, whose very presence on a national ticket is an insult to your intelligence. She now has "credibility," we are told, because she managed to read talking points off notecards in the debate last week with unwitting enthusiasm.
  Over the weekend, she picked up on an article in The New York Times, which essentially says that Barack Obama and the former terrorist Bill Ayers have crossed paths in Chicago, served on a couple of charitable boards together, but aren't particularly close. To Palin--or her scriptwriters--this means that Obama has been "palling around" with terrorists. Now, I wish Ayers had done some serious jail time; he certainly needed to pay some penance for his youthful criminality--even if most people in Chicago, including the mayor, have decided that he has something of value to say about education. But I can also understand how Obama, who was a child when Ayers was cutting his idiot swath, would not quite understand the enormity of the professor's background. (I got to know Alger Hiss twenty years after the fact--he was a printing salesman then, a friend of my father's--and thought of him as a sweet old man, if a good deal more liberal than dad's other friends.)
  
  In any case, this is rather rich coming from Palin, who is married to a man who belonged to a political party--the Alaskan Independence Party--that wanted to secede from the union. (I should add here that the Times may have been overreacting to the McCain campaign's attack on its fairness here: the Ayers story was a nothingburger, but it was placed prominently in the top left hand corner of page one--a position that would seem to indicate that it contained important news, which it didn't.)
  Then we have the ever-reliable Bill Kristol, in today's New York Times, advising Palin to bring up the Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Palin, of course, believes that's a darn good idea:
  “To tell you the truth, Bill, I don’t know why that association isn’t discussed more, because those were appalling things that that pastor had said about our great country, and to have sat in the pews for 20 years and listened to that — with, I don’t know, a sense of condoning it, I guess, because he didn’t get up and leave — to me, that does say something about character. But, you know, I guess that would be a John McCain call on whether he wants to bring that up.”
  
  So then, I'd guess, it would be appropriate to bring up some of the nuttiness that passes for godliness in Palin's religious life. Leave aside the fact that The Embarracuda allowed herself to participate in a cermony that protected her from witchcraft, how about her presence--she didn't "get up and leave"-- at a sermon by the founder of Jews for Jesus, who argued that the Palestinian terrorist acts against Israel were God's "judgment" on the Jews because they hadn't accepted Jesus.
  Speaking of Jews, the ever-execrable Sean Hannity has been having intercourse with a known Jew-hater named Andy Martin, who now wants to expose Barack Obama as a Muslim. According to the Washington Times:
  In 1986, when Mr. Martin ran as a Democrat for Connecticut's 3rd Congressional District seat under the name "Anthony R. Martin-Trigona," his campaign committee filed papers saying its purpose was to "exterminate Jew power in America and impeach U.S. District Court of Appeals judges in New York City."
  
  Calling all Podhoretzs! Where's the outrage? I mean, don't the hateful doings at Palin's church and Hannity's perfidy deserve a lengthy exegesis from Pete Wehner or Jennifer Rubin or one of the other empretzled ideologues over at Commentary?
  As I said, I'm of two minds about this. I don't want to give currency to this sewage, so it will remain below the fold. And I'll try to devote the lion's share of my time to the issues--the war, the economic crisis, the fraying health insurance system, the environment--that should define this campaign. But what a desperate empty embarrassment the McCain campaign has become.
  Update: Spencer Ackerman on the latest McCain ad.
