There’s no family I know,’’ Cummings continued encouragingly, “that when they have problems they say, ‘To hell with it.’ ’’ The most memorable part of his “life-altering” trip to attend Nelson Mandela’s funeral in South Africa, he told his friends in the hotel ballroom, was when Mandela’s grandson said that the great man had counseled him, “Don’t be pushed around by your fears and problems; be led by your hopes and dreams.”
Actually, Emerson said that.

I thought it was funny a while back when the Ukraine crisis had been going on for 3-4 days and nothing was heard from Obama...
On “The 5” it was mentioned that Joe Biden had talked to the Russian government about it. That young dark haired girl(?) got upset and said...’Why not just have Ronald McDonald call them! Really...Biden?’
That might not be exactly what she said, but close. She slammed Biden like a $hithouse door, but was upset and serious.
I didn't know you were Italian.

Elijah just had an Obama Moment -— or perhaps he’s dumber than dirt, too.

There are different versions of the Patton quote, and a similar quote gets credited to Colin Powell.
We may never get to the bottom of this.
He wouldn't be the sharpest knife in the drawer if you put him in the drawer with the spoons.

We may never get to the bottom of this.
I know you were j/k, but... I think you just did get to the bottom of "it."
Four people saying the same thing a little differently, at different times. Kinda like Matthew, Luke, Mark and John.

Another affirmative action embarrassment heard from. We will not miss his generation. Unfortunately, we will have Van Jones, the flaming Black Communist, among us for decades.
The amusing irony is that Emerson wrote that Biblical stories should be intentionally corrupted and misinterpreted for pragmatic reasons by those who were public masters.
Emerson was what can be called a “proto-socialist”, in that he disliked civilization and wished it was reduced to isolated villages full of ignorant peasants controlled by their betters.
Yes — yes but Emerson WASN’T BLACK!!!
