    :) your funny Tom.

    That sounds like a nice day though. We should have that too.

    I remember when I was young - I knew there was Mother's Day... I knew there was Father's Day ( they stood out because I knew I should be extra good)... but I got the bright idea to ask... " Mom, when's kid's day"... :eek:

    Mom' s answer... of course... every day :( (just without the gifts I guess )

    He did generalize, but I wasn't offended. If he can offer more positive, then I think he would be the type of canadate that you could over look some harmless things.

    We have to overlook a great deal with most if not all canadates don't we?

    My point is this Allheart: America as a whole may be ready for a black president but Alabama may not be. And as tom and others pointed out, Sir Charles has no filter on his free speech. I'm not putting all the people of Alabama down, just an unsavory few that remain in pockets of... resistance, shall we say?

    I'm certainly ready for the right black President. Sadly Obama isn't the one.

    Ding... Ding... Ding... the bell went off. Allheart woke up and got it. Sorry Mag -

    I knew you weren't putting anyone down.. I thought you were just joking about the people from Alabama... lightheartedly...

    I forgot the whole racial thing... and even that Charles was black... It's a wonder sometimes I don't drown with my head underwater.

    Thanks for explaining Mag.

    Hey if I wanted a hall of famer NBA player it would be

    Michael Jordan - if he could do for the economy what he has done for Nike. He is careful of his image, and willing to try something new and back off if he is weak in that area [baseball ]. He also has solid cross cultural appeal.

    Bill Russel - team player and leader


    These guys have the rings, sorry Charles

    You'll probably be dead and buried before the right Black president for you shows up. You'll never accept anyone who's a Democrat and the Republicans are a long shot to ever field anything but a white man.

    Love Michael too, but I think his gambling background may hold him down.

    Bill Russell - know the name... not sure who he is.

    Julius Erving - now there's your guy.

    Oh and I loooove Allen Iverson, but I think that one might be too close to call. And he's not in the Hall of Fame (yet ). I just like this kid for some reason. I think he has just such a good heart, but couldn't shake off some of the friends that keep him out late at night. ( no, and I don't see him as a politician... I just like him)

    I'd say Juluis or Charles NOOOO Koby pllllllease. But I do love Shack Attack.

    If anyone could pull it off, it would be the Cos. I would vote for Bill Cosby.

    Way too funny... I thought of him too. But he's slowed down a whole lot. And didn't something just come out a little bit ago... where he was a little "busy" and a way from home. But that seemed to die down.

    But he's slowed down a lot. Keep the thinking cap on though :)
