her hubbie wrote this book: The estrangement of the rain god

Jordan Fell is afraid that his passionate marriage is over. His wife Leah's affections have suddenly chilled. Her cautious eyes flash the cold visage of a stranger. Suddenly in pursuit of a new career, Leah renounces the freely chosen traditions of her family life. As she begins to walk her new career path with the help of another man, Jordan hears the certain footfalls of abandonment. Wracked by his wife's looming discontent, Jordan departs for Asia and his own fidelity is challenged. Upon his return, the fragile marriage ends. As his children suffer this great loss, Jordan plunges into drunken despair--to the edge of madness. An exotic song heard in a lonely Metro in Paris finally frees his possessed mind and Jordan learns the true nature of human estrangement. Fascinated by the spirit of a new woman from the mountains, Jordan unlocks her dark secret and recovers the sovereignty of the Rain God.

so.. she doesn't do much good for him anymore?

#5 Aside from the fact that the only campaign that has been racist from start to finish has been that of Sen. Obama, let's examine yet another of their erroneous presuppositions:

White privilege is being able to claim your experience as a POW has anything at all to do with your fitness for president...

The point that Sen. Obama and his willing dupes continually miss is simply this. Sen. McCain's stint in the armed forces (without any false posturing or self aggrandizement) shows social responsibility. Social responsibility (my definition anyway) nothing more, and nothing less, than the willingness to put the needs of your social group (family, city, state, nation) above your own.

No one from the Radical Left has ever succeeded in doing this to any noticeable degree. And this is why they fail to win Joe Sixpack over. This is why all they ever end up with is a bunch of self serving sycophants whining to each other about how much more they know than the rest of us. They may know more than the common man (doubtful, but accept it for the sake of argument for the moment) but they don't have the moral foundation of social responsibility to build on. And so their political castle rests on a foundation of sand.

And when it topples they have no clue why, so there must be a reason found or invented. And it must be an unreasonable reason since they, as the intellectual elite, could not possibly make such a mistake.

#6 And finally, white privilege is the only thing that could possibly allow someone to become president when he has voted with George W. Bush 90 percent of the time,

As has been pointed out the vast majority of votes in the senate are unanimous in that they are to congratulate some baseball team or some silly thing. Obama himself probably voted with George Bush (the few times he did vote that is..) over 90 percent of the time. I guess Obama also enjoys 'white privledge'.

#7 Actually, now that I think of it. How could anyone vote with bush 90 percent of the time (or even 1 percent of the time).

George W Bush doesn't vote in the Senate. He never has and probably never will. He's the P-R-E-S-I-D-E-N-T.

#8 White privilege?
Don't make me f*cking laugh.
Show me one black kid who graduates from Univ. with $50,000 or more in student loans and I'll kiss your ass.

#9 Umm, bigjim - I know more than one such kid.

But save the kiss for your BFF or whomever. ;-)

And I know dozens of black kids who don't have those loans because they willingly joined ROTC or one of the service academies -- and did so knowing full well they will most likely be deployed into a shooting zone when they graduate.

#10 "white privilege is the only thing that could possibly allow someone to become president when he has voted with George W. Bush 90 percent of the time"

-It's painfully obvious that this dumb lib has never read the US Const. Is Bush a senator as well? Senators don't vote after presidents. Senators vote on bills that go to the president or possibly on policy initiated by the pres or the budget, etc. The president doesn't necessarilly vote on anything. Gov't 101. Fucking retards.
