   What I was doing —> emailing my co-blogger Alan Stewart Carl about doing a weekly podcast on Sunday afternoon for broadcast on Monday.

   By the way CoverItLive is very cool. Glad I caught that on Twitter! I’m going to use it now. Just signed up.

   Clintons not seen as tough, I actually am certain that she is and not in a contrived way.
   I do not believe for a minute she would struggle with making tough decisions, what she would struggle with is the outcome. If the outcome were bad, she would hang the support network out to dry. Part of being tough is the ability to fall down and then get back up.

   Obama called out the racism, in his speech addressing Rev Wright. He defined racism within it, not simplistically but in the complexity for which it exists.

   Gender and race are only issues when you make them the issue.

   It is entertaining, it is 2008 we use the “B” word across the gender line; we are casual about interracial marriages, we are changing I can see it. The old guard looks like clowns on roller skates.

   Hey Justin - yeah, Cover It Live is so easy - I learned about it from Meet the Bloggers and also I think Amy Gahran has written about it in the past on Poynter’s E-Media Tidbits.

   But I don’t know. Speakers can have something in their mind, but if the listeners infer something else, we can’t control that. Or at least can only control it to a certain extent.

   Likewise, the incidence rate of accepting interracial marriage isn’t what it should be and likewise the use of the B word - I don’t know. I have a real problem with making it okay. I do not want to hear it coming from my kids’ mouths. That’s the general litmus test for me - it doesn’t have a place - except as an expletive spoken by an adult in very circumscribed situations. At least, that’s how I feel about it. But then, again, it’s often just me.

   These statistics just reinforce what we see every time that we turn on the TV and see a “journalist” talk about HRC.

   Obviously not around children, the word used to describe malicious, unpleasant and selfish. That my litmus test, people that are racist and sexist, the word applies. Some people do the right thing, they use far more of a criteria to discern and discriminate.

   Funny there should be more interracial marriage but love is random; I think there should be less marriages and then higher rates of sincerity.

   I did not get what I wanted because. If we cannot inspire confidence, then we do not have what it takes.

   Statistics can be defied through the rule of large numbers…you have to try more often.
