Around Black Voices, we're quite familiar with
See, the talk-show host doesn't have time for computers. Woman is busy. And if she's going to bang out a 200-word tribute to the second-most-powerful woman in the free world, she's got to use a mobile device. "I was doing it on a BlackBerry," Oprah confessed. "No!" we gasped. "Yes!" she howled.
She went on, a small group of eavesdroppers gathering 'round at Jazz at Lincoln Center to hear how this nail-biter would unfold. "I'd been saving little notes on my BlackBerry. You know, I'd think of something and I'd put it on BlackBerry in the memo section," she explained. "And then I went to hit the wrong button and the whole thing deleted! I went to hit 'Save' and instead I hit ... 'Oh my God! Oh my God! It's gone!' That ever happened to you? And then you can't remember - not one sentence you wrote."
With some words of encouragement from longtime beau Stedman Graham, she was able to write it over again. What do you think of her rewrite? Weigh in below.

One things for sure, the people who voted for osama are starting to regret it. For the first time in many years, there was no prayer at the White crib on national prayer day. Besides, to blacks he can do no wrong. Even if he gave Alska back to Russia blacks would praise his generocity. That one dude may have mis spelled a word or two, but the average I.Q. of american blacks is 80. I think thats being generous. Besides, michelle osama look's like a hooker and opie is obsessed with feces.

Linda, if you have the LORD in you life as you are proposing that others do. You would not talk about people in a negative manner regardless of who is right or wrong?
Thanks

What's with Mrs. Obama's eyes? In most pics, her right eye is glued shut, and her left is open like she has a cattle prod up her stink hole. Does she have one of those hidden vibrators up the fecal funnel, and it activates when a pic is taken. Just asking.............

I think Oprah and Mrs. Obama look fantastic. They are two of the world's greatest people, and bright, incredible women like them are going to be what ends up solving a lot of the country, and the world's, problems. May God bless them both, as well as their families.

Anybody that is this busy is just too too over extended for anything to matter. She needs to focus , and stop trying to be everywhere and everything, is just nauseates after awhile and diminishes her. Then we have to hear about the food problems, oh boy.
