By The Hair of Her Chiny, Chin, Chin

Condi Rice began her stint as U.S. Secretary of State today, after a most ugly confirmation hearing in which 13 Senators gave her the thumbs down; 13! It's been 180 years since that last Secretary of State was given such a vote of no-confidence.

But you know, no one really wants to see a Black woman in that position, a position of spreading the foreign policy of the US across the globe. And by no one I mean that select group of Global Power Brokers... the GPB is radically afraid of a strong, INTELLIGENT, Black woman -- as they have proven that they can dominate in most every arena they choose to jump into. Take that woman Amarosa (from The Apprentice) who is starring in those Watercooler Burger King commercials; she grabs the WHOLE room by the balls and squeezes. And it's not even considered your traditional "ball-busting." I wonder why that is?

So an American Black woman is highly aware of her strengthens and weaknesses, and how others view her. By being extraordinarily intelligent, she is exciting and threatening in equal measure.

Ironically, you have a Democrat, from California, who is a woman - Dianne Fienstein - championing Ms. Rice. But then you also have a Democrat, from California, who is a woman - Barbara Boxer - taking a dump on Ms. Rice -- it just goes to show that the President excells in irrational division amongst the people of America.

That's what we need to get to the bottom of!

I look forward to seeing how Condi Rice puts the spin on the upcoming Iraqi Electorial Fiasco. As Ted Kennedy put it today, Bush broke Iraq and is it really up to the US to put it back together again? I didn't watch or read anything about Condi's interrogation/confirmation hearings, but I can imagine it played something similar to Anita Hill's tar-n-feathering at the hands of the Senate about 12 years ago. I can imagine that on racial hate websites, like Storm Front they had a field day with the shlacking Condi took... all so she could serve one of the most dangerous white men to rule a country since Adolf Hitler (well, that's too harsh in the wake of the 60th Anniversay of Auschwitz).

I, for one, hope that the Iraqi election is at least considered passable, because that part of the world just gets too much media attention. How diabolical is it that the Holy Land is also where the global energy sources resides in the ground?

Although if the Iraqi election is the sham everyone expects it to be, then we're in for so much more SHIT from the middle east.

What buggers me is that Iraqi people are complaining that Sunni Muslims aren't going to be adequate represented, and they constitute around 35% of the population. Hmmm.... in US elections a good 35% of the people just don't vote, many of them ethnic minorities who are denied that basic American right because of Polling Prevention Tactics by the GOP.

So if at least 50% of the country turns out at the polls, then Condi and the President should have something to champion in Washington, on the Pundit Talk shows and what ever else is covering the White House. Oh, like this blog.
