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

    Hello Everyone--

    Sorry for the delay with the "show notes." I'll blame the holiday season and one kick-ass toothache. So, to my regular listeners, my apologies. And to new listeners, don't judge me too quickly or harshly! The voice you heard wasn't my own. It belonged to Percocet. It's times like these that I really do ask myself "what the hell am I doing"? So God bless this root canal and on with the delayed "show notes."

    How I Got Here: After falling in love w/my ipod, I realized it would provide me w/an outlet for my many opinions and moods on about just about everything. So I bought every book about podcasting that I could find and proceeded to pick from each one the info that I needed. Having just walked away from NBC Washington Bureau, and not landed the prized correspondent position that I just knew I was destined to have has brought me here. My craving to step up on any available soapbox is still overwhelming and so here goes.

    Show #1

    --Mexican court finally says rape by husband is a bad thing
    --Maryland mom of multiples having hard time thanks to internet asses Where are pro-lifers now?
    --Rosa Parks is a spinnin' in her grave thanks to nephew who wants a piece of her famous pie
    --Immigration and "anchor babies" aweigh
    --Thanks to parents and Victoria's Secret--teenage girls tart it up
    --Long overdue African American Museum still 10 years and $100 million away. And still no definite site. Pick a place, any place!
    --Think you know shopping secrets? You can't beat Michael Brim and his advance tips to the Sunday sale circulars
    --How stupid do the record companies think the american public is? It's a Re-release time of year
    --Sex talk for toddlers
    --The Week. I love it
    --Susan Tedeschi. I love her
    --HarperCollins heavy-handed photo editing for Good Night Moon.

    I'll do all again this Friday, December 9

    See ya next time,
    Sunny
