But I think its only fair to be objective here, the woman really has done nothing concrete to deserve the "righthandwomanofsatan" label that everyone has now deferred to. Last week there was the Hillary-Ferraro bit, now the Obama-Wright saga, these things are not always black and white (pun intended) and I wish we could just inject some real objectivity back into the debate.<BR/><BR/>Anyways, nice to have you back UK, can't help wondering if the infrequent posting is your way of putting your loyal readers in rehab -- slow detox (I hope not.) <BR/><BR/>-oo-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15779774.post-30314427386534736802008-03-19T05:25:00.000+00:002008-03-19T05:25:00.000+00:00I agree on the wife thing.

By all means support him in private if you have that strength, but to stand behind him with that pained expression... it just hurts. <BR/><BR/>On the Hillary/Obama thing--yes, I started out liking him more but thinking she was a fine politician. Now, I have developed a repugnance to her and her campaign. I'm not naive enough to think that the media does not have a powerful force on moulding my emotions.... but still...Talatu-Carmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13402484991153486289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15779774.post-21823700843592179342008-03-16T11:14:00.000+00:002008-03-16T11:14:00.000+00:00Nice to have you back.

There were times I felt like taking a running dive into the brown Thames...<BR/><BR/>Yes, I love the multiculturalism of London, and when I eventually move back to Naija, it is one thing I would definitely miss. It's a tragedy that the politicians and the Home Office (by their actions) are trying to kill that multiculturalism...<BR/><BR/>Personally I think it is the wives who succumb to the media pressure to appear reassuring that are most likely to succumb to the (more intense) private pressure to end the marriage a while later. I think Eliot Spitzer's marriage wouldn't last for another year.<BR/><BR/>I am extremely ambivalent towards the US election. It would only get interesting if Obama wins the Democratic party nomination, then sit back and enjoy your front row ticket to the greatest case of character assassination since Joan of Arc...Chxtahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03363269342812285103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15779774.post-40588921457659172012008-03-15T22:35:00.000+00:002008-03-15T22:35:00.000+00:00I agree with you.

Just goes to show you that politicians and the society are full of bull. <BR/><BR/>The society because they demand it of her. Had she not been standing there, the media would have been agog with that development. <BR/><BR/>I envy you the ability to read so many books. There is simply no time now. What with constant traffic...In fact, the other day, I rebelled against this lack of time and read several pages of my novel in 3-hour traffic from Lekki to the mainland even though I was the one driving.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13809608046783151804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15779774.post-41914140202902784112008-03-15T14:02:00.000+00:002008-03-15T14:02:00.000+00:00Not that I condone a married man engaging in prost...Not that I condone a married man engaging in prostitution but did he need to lose his job? <BR/><BR/>Re: Michelle Obama, in a different world she would be the one running for president.
