FROM THE "WHAT HAVE I BEEN TELLING YOU ALL ALONG" FILE

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster and treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools: If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew to serve your turn long after they are gone, and so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!' if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you . . . If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it . . .
--Kipling

    LISTENERS ARE TALKING ABOUT THE SUNNY JAMES SHOW!

    From Dave, a self-described "one of many not-so-angry, compassionate conservative white guy listeners."
    "Greetings from a long-time (2 years at least) downloader of the ABW show"
    Common sense is so addictive! Your comments about overweight, dimple-derriered divas had me laughing so hard I almost drove off the road! But when you focused on the facts about childhood obesity it almost made me cry. It's so sad that the blessing of our nation's food bounty, where not even the poorest go hungry, has resulted in the poorest are at risk for ill health due to overeating. Adults have choices, but kids depend on parents guiding their choices. It's reassuring to hear true community leaders remind parents they have responsibilities. Keep up the good work! I'll keep listening. best, one of your many not-so-angry, compassionate conservative white guy listeners!

    Excellent viewpoint and content from Michant2
    "Your show is very enjoyable and the content is excellent. I enjoy your point of view on the many subjects that you cover and think that you always hit on things that people are thinking but are afraid to say. It's good to hear someone voice her opinion on relevant topics of today concerning not only black people or black women, but things that affect everyone."

    Excellent job on the past 3 shows! from D.H.
    "You were awesome as a guest on WWWT-FM. Good job on discussing a wide array of topics including politics, news, education, obese kids, terrible prom attire, etc. . . . I'm looking forward to winning more Sunny James converts . . ."

    From Jamie Nero
    "I have found your podcasts to be informative, educational and entertaining. In fact, I got a pair of dress shoes repaired after listening to one of your podcasts. Thanks!(I saved some money that day)."

    Please, keep sending in those good words. I need your support. Sunny

    --  Check out how The Daily Mail covered, in graphic detail, President Obama's Cadillac One, Air Force One and Marine One. God, I Love the Foreign Press

    --  We don't need no stinkin' Tea Party. We need a friggin' pork bar-b-que or at least a bag of pork rinds. Read the Annual "Pig Book" to see $19.6 billion reasons why. More from the pig barrel. This issue and tea party protestors just irk me to no end. This article from the 4/21/09 Washington Post highlights the king of pork, Rep. John Murth (D-Pa), spending habits for his consitituents.

    Like I said during the show, Barak Obama is a politician. And politicians say and do whatever they have to in order to get what they want. In Europe he was one thing and in Latin America he's something else. As noted by the following excerpt from The Washington Post. Just wanted to prove my point!

    UPDATE 4/18/09

    "PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad and Tobago, April 18 -- In presenting himself at a summit here as an equal partner to Latin America, President Obama is drawing on his race as evidence of U.S. social progress and of his own affinity for the region's poor.

    Race occupies a far larger and more troubled place in Latin American politics than it does in Europe, where Obama rarely mentioned his ethnic background this month during his first overseas trip as president.

    He is doing so more often here at the Summit of the Americas, in part to push an agenda that, among other issues, seeks to address the region's income disparity between rich and poor, the widest in the world.

    In talking about his race and the backgrounds of his counterparts, Obama is associating himself more closely than his predecessors did with Latin America's indigenous, black and mixed-race underclass, which has long identified the United States with economic policies that benefit the elite of European descent far more than them."

    --  10 ways the economy will look different. And you just might like it.

    --  Oakland, Dying for Respect. Also check out Bryant Gumble's Real Sports program featuring a segment on the murders of Black athletes in and around Hampton Roads, Virgina

    --  After 500,000 Black men go to jail for selling crack, the justice system says there may have been some bias in doling out sentences --Ya Think?

    --  Is Jodi Picoult Just for White Girls? Is Zane Just for Black Lovers?

    --  Is Colonel Sanders Spinning in his Special Recipe?

    --  Mike Tyson with his guard down

    --  The bible says that a child will lead, I pray that in Liberia, a woman will. Ellen Sirleaf Johnson's Autobiography "This Child Will Be Great: Memoir of a Remarkable Life"

    --  The Television Networks Just Ain't What They Used to Be (again, I say, learn to program your own damn life!)

    (1:12:00)

    -- For the Musically Stuck in a Rut . . . Years ago I could listen to Al Jarreau all the time. Then the road got bumpy and I had to mend a broken heart--sorry that's Al Green--and music took a backseat to my tale of woe. But I've recently revisited my love for Al Jarreau and rediscovered his ability to smooth out the rough moments in my life. Al Jarreau new, old or in between and in keeping with the positive believing and faith sprinkled throughout this show, you should give Al Jarreau's "Could You Believe" a listen with fresh ears.

    (1:14:20)
    -- Sunny's Good Word - specious  \ˈspē-shəs\

    (1:15:28)
    -- Where In the World is . . . Shelburne, Nova Scotia? And one more time for good measure, Washington DC, the taxation without representation capital of the United States

            The Leftovers (Still Good the Next Day)
    Stuff I Just Couldn't Get to Or I'd Still Be Talking

    --  If you haven't given up your cable service yet please turn into "Trouble the Water" on HBO on Thursday April 23 @ 8:30. Those in the 9th Ward are still living with Katrina every day.

    -- Another step closer to this long overdue project. The Smithsonian announced that Freelon Adjaye Bond/SmithGroup is the architectural team chosen to design the National Museum of African American History and Culture to be located on the National Mall near the Washington Monument. The selection was made by a jury chaired by Museum Director Lonnie G. Bunch III. They will now be asked to respond to an official Request for Proposal to design the new building, scheduled to open on the National Mall in 2015.

Here's the deal . . . with two kids, it's about this time of year that I start to think about September and the kids going back to school.  Invariably, I think about my own upbringing and how stressed out my mother seemed at the prospect of having to buy school supplies for me.  She was a single mother all of my school-aged life. And it wasn't just the pencils and notebook paper but the new coat or shoes and socks that was needed.  When I was married and a stay-at-home mother, no longer working a nine to five, but a 24/7, I took pleasure in being able to buy sufficient, no, probably an excess of school supplies for my children and they will tell you to this day about my fondness for buying them new socks and underwear for back to school. And since I've been divorced, more times than not I've felt some of what my own mother must of felt as she tried to provide all that I needed to go to school, warm and equipped with the tools to learn. 

    I know I'm not alone in fantasizing about hitting the lottery. But right after buying the new house and car for me, I've always understood the lure and desire to give something back to hard working, just-needing-a-hand-up parents and kids. An accountant tells me the most efficient way to do that is through establishing a non-profit foundation. Well, folks I don't know when I'm going to hit the lottery, but I've come to the conclusion that waiting to give back, shouldn't wait any longer. So, here's my request. I'd like to make a donation of school supplies this September--for either one classroom or an entire grade at an elementary school here in the Nation's Capital (you've got to listen to the podcast to hear why I chose the elementary school level). If you can donate supplies send me an email to get the address or hit the Paypal button and specify Sunny's Place. Lot's of people are struggling right now and I include my self in that number, but  there are people who are losing their homes, or don't know where the next meal is coming from or a young mother or father has to decide between providing a meal or school supplies come September. I believe that great times are ahead of me professionally and financially. God is going to continue to bless me but, all the more, that means I can't ignore others in need. So, if there was ever a time to hit the Paypal button, it's now. Thank you.

    Please be sure to listen to the next show. I have lots to share with you including the reasons for changing the name of the show, thank yous, video from the Talk Radio Seminar, which I couldn't have attended without the help from listeners.

    This is NOT an edition of The Angry Black Woman Show with Sunny James. This is a recent guest appearance on WWWT-FM in Washington DC. It was a great opportunity to talk about race, politics, Obama and Clinton, gender, the Missing White Woman Syndrome and other fun stuff.  This was my third appearance; I think they like me! Yes, it runs a bit long, with commercials.

    I'll be visiting you again soon with another edition of The Angry Black Woman Show.
