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
Where I've Been & What I've Done--The Bio
The search button is FINALLY working! Please take a look at archives and commentaries.
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

1. Enough already with the main stream media attempts at making Barack Obama the Great Black--or is that--Democratic Hope and the salvation of Black folks far and near. I don't care how many covers he's on. Great life story, but he just isn't ready to lead this country. And why are so many voices, who readly admit to his inexperience,talking the loudest about a presidential run? U.S. News and World Report and Newsweek
November 2: Add one more, last minute voice to this issue. I just couldn't resist: Stanley Crouch of the New York Daily News weighs in on Obama. And he raises some interesting points.
2. The Tennessee senate race. No video clip here. Funky, Foul and Nasty, or can I just say Republican? Harold Ford--Quality race run by quality politician. Can he be the first African-American elected to the Senate since Reconstruction? Newsweek
3. White women and their love of little Black African children. Just NOT African American children. Where's the love? The WEEK
-- Yvette Modestin, Bostonian, Afro West Indian Latino with a little bit of European and South Asian thrown in for good measure, changing her paradigm. Boston Globe
-- Check out the graphic novel The Bluesman GET IT!
-- Aaron Neville brings home the soul classics. He is so fine. He sing beautifully too!
Thanks for joining me again. I hope I have provided something in this show that will spark your interest. As usual I need to thank my listeners for their interest, but this week a special thank you goes to the many, students and faculty at colleges and universities across the country and yes around the world that listen to The ABW with Sunny James. As I go down the list of downloads, just this morning, the Department of Defense Dependents School, European Region had checked in, so had the U.S. Military Academy and Hampton University. The list goes on and I sent out an audio thank you to many more schools.
