I had to watch this moment live. It was alot to handle, once she choked up, it messed me up. I remember one day as I drove home from work, I knew I needed millk for my cereal but I didn't want to stop at the store. "Live Your Best Life", played in my head and I turned the car around and went to the store. Thanks Oprah. Thanks for bringing Tina Turner back too, she thanked Oprah at her concert in Nov of 2008. I was there.

YouTube description: The short opens to an orchestral rendition of Stephen Foster's "Old Folks at Home", immediately setting the scene in the rural South of blackface minstrelsy. The setting is Lazytown, perhaps the laziest place on earth. The town's residents (all stereotypes of African Americans) nor the animals can be bothered to leave their reclining positions to do anything at all. Their pastoral existence is permanently interrupted by the arrival of a riverboat carrying a svelte, sophisticated, lightskinned woman from Harlem, whose physical beauty inspires the entire populace to spring into action.
The visiting urbanite admonishes one of the town's residents, "Look here, Mammy. That ain't no way to wash clothes! What you all need is rhythm!" She then proceeds to sing "Scrub Me Mama with a Boogie Beat", which the townfolk slowly join her in performing. Thus begins a montage which is the short's centerpiece. The townsfolk are infected by the song's rhythm and proceed to go about playing instruments, dancing suggestively and even performing their daily chores with newfound vigor. By the time the young lady from Harlem is due to reboard her riverboat and return home, she's succeeded in turning Lazytown into a lively community of swing musicians.

09-13-09 Update: I just went to the website for the first time, just now.  I had been getting my items from Sephora.com.

Something I found on makeup.com: Lisa Price started off her beauty product brand Carol’s Daughter while working on The Cosby Show set back in the 1980s, dabbling in mixing organic ingredients like sweet jojoba, almonds and soy in her downtime.A few years later, it turned into a mail-order and online business in the 90s, eventually going the way of brick and mortar in 1999 with a store in Brooklyn. One store then turned into another in Harlem, then turned into a deal with Sephora to sell Carol’s Daughter.Now Carol’s Daughter counts Jay-Z, Jimmy Iovine, Tommy Mottola, Thalia, Will Smith, Jada Pinkett-Smith and Mary J. Blige as fans and investors, with Mary J. being the face of the brand’s first celebrity perfume called My Life (after her newest album).

Topics Include: A message for the President, Police Beatings on Tape on YouTube and Guns at Presidential Rallies. Philadelphia Eagles, Michael Vick

It feels like its the Civil War or the struggle for Civil Rights. Racism in America is the worst I've ever seen it. Proud racists, that's new to me.

Black, white protesters face off in Texas town

Riot police separate two sides at demonstration over dragging death

An unidentified black activist, left, films a protester with a bullhorn during a demonstration in Paris, Texas, on Tuesday. The face-off between black and white protesters began with a march through downtown by about 100 blacks. They were protesting the state's handling of the case of a black man who was run over and dragged by a vehicle.  View related photos

PARIS, Texas - State police in riot gear rushed a downtown street in this eastern Texas town Tuesday to break up a tense standoff between hundreds of black and white protesters who exchanged screams of "Black power!" and "White power!"

A skinhead carrying a Confederate flag and a shirtless white man were arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct before the protesters separated peacefully, Paris police spokesman Lt. Danny Huff said.

The conflict began with a march through downtown by about 100 black activists who were protesting the state's handling of the case of a black man who was run over and dragged by a vehicle. The demonstrators avoided a designated "protest zone" near the courthouse and marched to the town square to chants of "Black Power!" and "No Justice, no peace!"

Reposted. Yesterday as I posted the picture instead of the audio and nobody told me. Cool pic of a young Obama at his graduation with his grandparents. If you listen to his audiobook, you'll hear how amazing they were.

This show was recorded live as the announcement took place.

They laughed at me when I said I wasn't eating pork right now. Today I read about the first Swine Flu victim, a five year old kid in Mexico. He lives nexy to a massive US owned pig farm. I have been, what's the word? That's what I've been. We are in such in uproar over pig virus that we didn't realize that thousands have died already this year from the regular flu. I like the panic/chaos, I ran out and bought spaghetti in preparation of Y2K.
