An Album for Each Year
Planet Intertwingly (Free subscription) | 07/18/2008
What better way to pick up posting again than with following a meme. Nick Carr in Albums Going Steady describes the challenge to list "a favorite album for every year of your life." I actually do not have the problem described by Nick and others to really start with my birth year. The challenge has two restrictions: only one album per year and there can be no repeats of artists. I have added for myself...

In Search Of Vernon Jordan
thevaneljounal.com | 04/11/2008

Jordan and Clinton go back decades but he also enjoys a good relationship with Senator Obama. Jordan, I believe, is hedging his bets by keeping a low profile, unlike the embarrassing debacle that Billionaire Robert Johnson, the founder of BET, found...
