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

But here's the course of events as written by a Post reporter.

    Hello All and Happy 4th of July

    No, hell hasn't frozen over and no, I've not been abducted by aliens. I'm working right now to bring thought provoking, relevant news, information and entertainment to your soggy ears. While you're busy munching on holiday hot dogs and splashing about at the pool I'm thinking, "why didn't anybody invite me to the festivities?"

    Anyway, you thoughtless communal bathers, I'll have a new show up in at least 48 hours.

    Now didn't you miss me?

    Happy 4th
    Sunny
