WASHINGTON (Jan. 28) -- Two generations of Kennedys - the Democratic Party's best known political family - endorsed Barack Obama for president on Monday, with Sen. Edward M. Kennedy calling him a "man with extraordinary gifts of leadership and character," a worthy heir to his assassinated brother.





"I feel change in the air. What about you?" Kennedy said in a speech salted with scarcely veiled criticism of Obama's chief rival for the nomination, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, as well as her husband, the former president.



Kennedy's endorsement was ardently sought by all three of the remaining presidential contenders, and he delivered it at a pivotal time in the race. A liberal lion in his fifth decade in the Senate, the Massachusetts senator is in a position to help Obama court Hispanic voters as well as rank-and-file members of labor unions, two key elements of the Democratic Party.



He is expected to campaign actively for Obama in the eight days leading up to next Tuesday's delegate-rich primaries and caucuses across 24 states, beginning later this week in Arizona, New Mexico and California.



The senator made his comments at a crowded campaign rally at American University that took on the appearances of a Kennedy family embrace of Obama.



He was introduced by Caroline Kennedy, daughter of the late president, who said Obama "offers that same sense of hope and inspiration" as did her father. Rep. Patrick Kennedy of Rhode Island, son of the senator, also offered his support.



In is own remarks, Kennedy sought one by one to rebut many of the arguments leveled by Obama's critics.



"From the beginning, he opposed the war in Iraq. And let no one deny that truth," he said, an obvious reference to former President Clinton's statement that Obama's early anti-war stance was a "fairy tale."



"With Barack Obama, we will turn the page on the old politics of misrepresentation and distortion.



"With Barack Obama we will close the book on the old politics of race against race, gender against gender, ethnic group against ethnic group, and straight against gay," Kennedy said.



The Massachusetts senator had remained on the sideline of the presidential campaign for months, saying he was friends with Obama, Clinton and former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, as well and several Senate colleagues who are no longer in the race.



Lately, according to several associates, Kennedy became angered with what he viewed as racially divisive comments by Bill Clinton. Nearly two weeks ago, he played a personal key role in arranging a brief truce between the Clintons and Obama on the issue.



Kennedy refers only sparingly to his assassinated brothers, John and Robert, in his public remarks, and his endorsement of Obama was cast in terms that aides said was unusually personal.



"There was another time, when another young candidate was running for president and challenging America to cross a new frontier. He faced criticism from the preceding Democratic president, who was widely respected in the party," Kennedy said, referring to Harry Truman.

CNN) — In a decision she attributes to "patriotic, political and personal" reasons, former First Daughter Caroline Kennedy is endorsing Barack Obama for president.



In an op-ed in Sunday's New York Times published on the paper's Web site Saturday night, titled "A President Like My Father," Kennedy writes: "It isn't that the other candidates are not experienced or knowledgeable. But this year, that may not be enough. We need a change in the leadership of this country — just as we did in 1960….



"I have never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my father inspired them. But for the first time, I believe I have found the man who could be that president — not just for me, but for a new generation of Americans."



Caroline Kennedy's uncle, Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy, has not yet endorsed a candidate in the Democratic presidential race. Her cousin, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has endorsed Hillary Clinton.



@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@



Caroline is right. We need to be inspired by our president again. After eight years with the Cro-Magon man we have occupying the White House, we need a leader we can believe in yet again. I am voting for Barak Obama. I hope he wins the nomination and the general election.

I am someone who reads a lot of journals on the rave and apparently this guy's name comes up quite often. First, he messes with someone's head about their deceased brother. He must have read both of her profiles on here and put two and two together. Makes me wonder why someone would reveal personal information on this site, but then again I do too. I have two brothers who have passed. IF someone on this site or any site tells me they said hi, I would just shrug it off. That is my personality. I know they cannot possibly know what either of my deceased brothers would say to me. Others will take this differently.



Apparently , this dude is downrating others who catch on to his little games. Ratings are not important to me. The only reason I care at all is that I belong to a coven. My rating affects the whole society. Besides that , I could care less. Rate me a two, three, ten whatever. I will go to sleep tonight and rest well , thank you. Or to quote the great Katherine Hepburn, I will survive quite nicely thank you.



Threatening other rave members like this guy is doing is just plain wrong. Using the names of other members to do so is not only wrong, but inconsiderate. Perhaps, the dude is attempting to push everyone's buttons on the rave. From the journals I have been reading, he is successful if that is his agenda.

This is perrhaps one of the most famous speeches in our nation's history. Martin is frozen in time with this speech and many wish to pigeon hole him with his own words. At the end of the speech, you will see the words Free at Last. Hopefully, history will recognize the entire man and not just his role in bringing about civil rights to one group of people. My take on Martin is that he wanted everyone- black, white, gay, straight, poor , rich, etc to be judged on the content of their character not on some label placed on them by society.



Here is the speech:



am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.



Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.



But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.



In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable Rights" of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."



But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.



We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.



It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. And those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. And there will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.



But there is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.



The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.



We cannot walk alone.



And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead.



We cannot turn back.



There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. *We cannot be satisfied as long as the negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their self-hood and robbed of their dignity by a sign stating: "For Whites Only."* We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until "justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream."¹



I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. And some of you have come from areas where your quest -- quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed.



Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends.



And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.



I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."



I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.



I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.



I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.



I have a dream today!



I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.



I have a dream today!



I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."²



This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the South with.



With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.



And this will be the day -- this will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning:



My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.



Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim's pride,



From every mountainside, let freedom ring!



And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.



And so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.



Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York.



Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of

Pennsylvania.



Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado.



Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California.



But not only that:



Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.



Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.



Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi.



From every mountainside, let freedom ring.



And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:



Free at last! Free at last!



Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!³

Martin's dream did not die on April 4, 1968 when a gunman's bullet ended his life. It lives on. Hopefully, one day everyone will know the freedom he talked about.

No I am not addicted to the white lady aka cocaine. I tried it once and did not like it. My roommate's whatever you call the guy is wanting some coke and being a jerk about it. We both could help him get some. Who does not know a source of the things no-one really needs? At any rate, my source is out of the question unless my roommate's frirend is willing to shell out money for the white lady and for my source who would have to go get it.



My roommate is the only person who listened when Nancy Reagan said just say no. She does not know what coke costs.

My Japanese name is Kuroda (black field) or Miharu (beautiful clear sky) . I saw this on Mieta's journal and just had to go get my Japanese name.

Yes people I watched the season opening of American Idol last night. For two hours, my itch was scratched for the show I really hate to miss. IF anyone knows of a 12 step program for those with my particular addiction , please message me. My roommate would appreciate it.



The show opened in Philadelphia. Tonight they will be in Dallas, but I have to work. Oh well. I had to go on YouTube this morning to listen to Rrank Sinatra sing My Way since some poor delusional fellow thought he could sing like Old Blue Eyes and bungled the song. It was painful and I felt like writing a letter to the producers of American Idol and asking them not to allow anyone to sing Sinatra songs that cannot sing.

FOND DU LAC, Wis. -- Eighteen restaurant workers hold the $1 million ticket from the state lottery's Holiday Millions raffle drawing on New Years Day.



The group includes waitresses, bartenders, cooks and others from Friar Tuck's Restaurant in Fond du Lac. They're having a court order drawn up listing all 18 as prize winners.



The winning ticket was purchased on the lucky "Miracle Mile" in Fond du Lac at Ma and Pa's Grocery Express.



Ten players each won $100,000 and 500 people each won $1,000



))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))



It is kinda ironic that I would see this news story today. I ended up watching an E special about lottery winners yesterday. I work in a store that sells lottery tickets and believe me many play all the time. I always get excited and happy for someone that wins.



There are many horror stories about those who have won the lottery. I think one person who was interviewed on the show I watched said it best. If you are a happy person with ten dollars, you will be a happy person with millions. If you are an unhappy person with ten, then you will be miserable with the millions. I agree. I hope these people use the money to better themselves, their family and to help their community. It seemed that those who won the lottery on the show that did that not only kept the money but keep their sanity as well.

I have been working seven days a week for the last few weeks and believe me I am ready for a day off. My boss is in Pakistan and we are short-handed. We have been scared for the boss, since the Bhutto assassination. Our current boss owns another store and he has been less than gracious about things. In fact, he has been difficult to deal with. He has made bad remarks about regular customers and is not nice to the other two employees. I understand that he has a different type of customer at his store, but he is going to have to go with the flow when he is at Johnny's Food Mart. The current manager is wanting Johnny to cut his trip short, because it is not easy for him to help out. I am sure he was intelligent enough to know the difficulty in running two stores when he volunteered to help in Johnny's absence.



My friend Connie came by the store today with her daughter Brianna. Connie is Cadamia on the rave. I was happy to see her. She moved a few months ago to a town called Vidor. It is a little bit near Beaumont, Texas.



My friend Christina is having problems with her brother. I do not feel at liberty to give all the details, but will ask anyone reading this to pray for him. If you light candles, I request that you do that as well.



I hope everyone is having a safe and Happy New Year's Day.
