Welcome to
The Sunny James Show


(00:50)

-- Bon jour a tous. To my Guy Canadian kin. Thanks for helping to add a few more branches to my family tree.

-- Laid off and not feeling quite like myself, but still holdin' on

-- What do Jimmy Choos and Starbucks coffee have in common? I can't afford either one. I'll have a $5 triple, grande, non-fat caramel macchiato,extra hot, extra caramel with those $300, 3-inch-open-toe-pumps, please!

--  If so many great people at great media organizations are listening to The Sunny James Show, Why the Hell Ain't I on the Radio Yet? My grammar perhaps?

--  One more time for good measure--The media landscape is changing, you'll have to (should be already) program your own life

--  Who is that flipping between For the Love of RayJ and Rachel Maddow?

(24:00)

--  Check out how The Daily Mail covered, in graphic detail, President Obama's Cadillac One, Air Force One and Marine One. God, I Love the Foreign Press

--  We don't need no stinkin' Tea Party. We need a friggin' pork bar-b-que or at least a bag of pork rinds. Read the Annual "Pig Book" to see $19.6 billion reasons why. More from the pig barrel. This issue and tea party protestors just irk me to no end. This article from the 4/21/09 Washington Post highlights the king of pork, Rep. John Murth (D-Pa), spending habits for his consitituents.

Like I said during the show, Barak Obama is a politician. And politicians say and do whatever they have to in order to get what they want. In Europe he was one thing and in Latin America he's something else. As noted by the following excerpt from The Washington Post. Just wanted to prove my point!

UPDATE 4/18/09

"PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad and Tobago, April 18 -- In presenting himself at a summit here as an equal partner to Latin America, President Obama is drawing on his race as evidence of U.S. social progress and of his own affinity for the region's poor.

Race occupies a far larger and more troubled place in Latin American politics than it does in Europe, where Obama rarely mentioned his ethnic background this month during his first overseas trip as president.

He is doing so more often here at the Summit of the Americas, in part to push an agenda that, among other issues, seeks to address the region's income disparity between rich and poor, the widest in the world.

In talking about his race and the backgrounds of his counterparts, Obama is associating himself more closely than his predecessors did with Latin America's indigenous, black and mixed-race underclass, which has long identified the United States with economic policies that benefit the elite of European descent far more than them."
