ROLAND BURRIS: THE POST-CIVIL RIGHTS BLACK MAN BLUES
2009-01-04 22:23:00 Burris is no idiot. In fact, he's crazy like a fox. Roland Burris is right in line with the other "grabbers" in Chicago and Illinois politics. Burris sees an opportunity and he's going for it. What else would a 71 year old man want from a political career that was the envy of many but also dull, dull, dull. Roland Burris is acting out a REVENGE OF THE NERDS psychology that will have people talking about him long after this end game has played out. Burris never had that as Illinois Attorney General or as Illinois Comptroller. This is his moment in the national spotlight, his fifteen minutes of fame in DC. It must have burned his hide to see an uppity upstart like Barack Obama become a US Senator and then President-elect of the United States. Like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and other Civil Rights and post-Civil Rights era Black men, Burris sees what was denied him rather than what he effectively laid the groundwork for by being the first African American elected to statewid...

Hours after California issued a directive Wednesday authorizing that date, word came that New York Gov. David Paterson instructed state agencies - including those governing insurance and health care - to immediately change policies and regulations to recognize gay marriages preformed in California. New York already recognizes marriages from Canada, Spain, and other counties where it's legal. Massachusetts is currently the only U.S. state that recognizes same-sex marriage, but its residency requirements currently bar New Yorkers from marrying there. Now they don't have to leave the country to get hitched. The move by Paterson's administration does not legalize same-sex marriage in New York. The state'...
