Cupcakes Take on Racism

Check this out! http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-0928-berkeley-bake-sale-20110928,0,4217221.story.


Berkeley College Republicans' held a bake sale with discriminatory prices. This is why I don't understand political correctness or issues with minorities. I'm an American, you're an American. We have the same opportunities and rights. Just because our skin color is different we are treated differently. And let's be honest, maybe years ago it was non-whites who were discriminated against, but, today, whites are the ones who stand to lose a job they are the most qualified for because the company needs a black or Asian or Latino person. What does it matter? They are a person and an American. What happened to justice is blind? No, in America, it seems that justice is politically correct, in other words, it is racist.

The same people who called the whites racist decades ago, have now themselves or their children become racists. Why should I be punished for the sins of my forefathers? Well, that's a Biblical issue.

Job Hunting but No Game

I'm back home with my parents in South Carolina. It's great to see family and friends! I missed home alot. I've been traveling around the state and to Alabama (WAR EAGLE!) and to Florida. Now I am in the dreaded position of unemployment. Okay, so it's not SO bad. I mean, I have no bills and no boss, I also have no insurance (YIKES!). Well, let's face it, I was blessed to get a job for a year right after I graduated. Anyway, I trust that God will see me through this.

Google's Logo Entertains Viewers Longer Than Just a Few Seconds

Be prepared to spend a few extra minutes at the Google Home page before beginning your search today. In honor of Jim Henson's 75th birthday, Google created a logo in collaboration with The Jim Henson Company that reflects some original Muppets.

The letters in the popular search engine's name were each replaced by a Muppet with a handprint button. When a viewer clicks on the button, they can move the head of the creature above it. If the viewer clicks on the head of the Muppet it will open it's mouth. The reddish Muppet (representing the first 'o') will occasionally shake off his glasses, and the small pink Muppet (representing 'e') will sometimes eat the tall skinny Muppet (representing 'l').

James Maury Henson was born in Greenville, Mississippi on September 24, 1936. He studied Home Economics at the University of Maryland. He is known as a master puppeteer and the creator of the Muppets (monster puppets). Popular Muppet characters include Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy who are stars from The Muppet Show and several other Jim Henson productions; also Big Bird and Cookie Monster, who are some Seasame Street favorites; and even Yoda from Star Wars.
