"Don’t speak to me about your religion; first show it to me in how you treat other people. Don't tell me how much you love your God; show me in how much you love all His children. Don't preach to me your passion for your faith; teach me through your compassion for your neighbors. In the end, I'm not as interested in what you have to tell or sell as I am in how you choose to live and give." ~Cory Booker

Blog Gems......to read with your morning coffee
So I was whining last week that I was worried that Murdochgate had become ecclipsed in the headlines and John Dean (yes THE John Dean tweeted back to me that there was more to Unravel ANY day...which made my whole damn week....so here we go folks, THE Unraveling as real Smoking Gun Documents are starting to suddenly be uncovered.... Here is the Latest from Alternet about the latest slime to oooze to the surface.....

(2) On Twitter there is Keith Balmer who goes by @KeithSmooth ( which yes is a great handle) and he has a great blog, I included his insightful blog post on Amy Winehouse's death in my last round up. His New post is "Liberalism on Life Support". The thing about Keith is that he makes me think, as a Liberal I look in the mirror after I read what he writes.....

This week's book is Waiting for Karl Rove Written by Kat Nove and Jeni Decker who were on @awopradio and who I met on Twitter @WaitingforKarlRove , they are so sharper than any scissors I run with....and since Karl Rove came out this week pouting and opining Perry this makes the perfect read. If you click on the Amazon Link you can read parts of it, believe me once you do you will be hooked...( oh and yes, they are coming back on Awopradio this coming Sunday as a treat.) On my street we have a Book Club , and it's our First Pick for the Fall....
