The Dream, Revisited
http://www.mikemalloy.com/2013/08/the-dream-revisited/

Our political leaders have hyped it, some would say abused or misused it for their own purposes, but bend it, twist it, turn it upside down – it will not be broken.

It remains one of the most powerful, truthful, ground-breaking speeches ever uttered. Fifty years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke from Washington DC about the dream of racial equality in this nation, sparked a revolution that could no longer be ignored, and set a new watermark for all political speeches to follow.

The Detroit Free Press has this remembrance:
http://www.freep.com/article/20130828/NEWS07/308280109/-I-Have-a-Dream-MLK-myths

When the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. took the lectern at the March on Washington 50 years ago to deliver his “I Have a Dream” speech, the text in his hand didn’t contain the words “I have a dream.”

That refrain, and the part of the address it punctuated and propelled, was improvised on the spot. Having written a good speech — a working title was “Normalcy — Never Again” — King instead gave one of the greatest of the 20th century.

There are other things that most of us don’t know about this storied speech. The march wasn’t King’s first use of the “dream” refrain. He came to rue the phrase, and by the time he died, the speech had faded from public memory.

King spoke on Aug. 28, 1963, at the biggest, most important civil rights demonstration in American history. It was the heart of the civil rights movement — eight years after the anti-segregation Montgomery bus boycott; three years after the lunch-counter sit-ins in Nashville and Greensboro, N.C.; two years after the first Freedom Rides on interstate buses through the South; and three months after police in Birmingham, Ala., horrified the nation by using attack dogs and fire hoses against women and children protesting segregated public facilities.

At least 250,000 people had jammed the National Mall to demand “jobs and freedom,” including passage of a civil rights bill. But all many people know or remember is King, preaching a gospel of hope from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

On the day of the march, more than two-thirds of Negroes (as African Americans were then known) lacked the right to vote, attend integrated schools or use the same public facilities as whites.

But King’s movement finally had made civil rights the nation’s top domestic political issue. The summer would see 1,122 civil rights demonstrations around the nation and about 20,000 arrests, almost all in the South.

On the Wednesday morning of the march, Washington was tense. Outside the city, thousands of combat troops were ready to move in, in case of trouble. Many businesses were closed. White House lawyers had drawn up martial-law orders for President Kennedy to sign if necessary.

The crowd gathered slowly at the Washington Monument and marched to the Lincoln Memorial, where the movement’s leaders would address them. King, not yet 35, went last.

He had worked on the speech over the previous four days, finally finishing a few hours before dawn in his suite at the Willard Hotel.

As millions watched on television — all three networks had cut away from regular programming — King began reading from typed text. He invoked the words of the president whose likeness loomed in the background: “Five score years ago …” King said, the Emancipation Proclamation “came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night” of the slaves’ captivity.

But 100 years later, he said, “the Negro still is not free.” The promises of Lincoln’s proclamation, the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence were like a “bad check.” Now, he said, we’re here to cash it.

After 10 minutes, he was more than halfway through a recitation that had been well received but was, as King biographer Taylor Branch would write, “far from historic” and in places “clubfooted.”

Then, King looked up. He put aside his text, for he had seen — or just as likely sensed — an opportunity.

This in itself was not unusual; King rarely spoke from a text, preferring to assemble speeches and sermons from an array of what Hansen called his “set pieces” — bits of oratory based on Bible stories or verses, songs, old sermons and other sources.

Now, King began skipping whole paragraphs from his prepared text. Some on the platform noticed, including Clarence Jones, a King adviser who had worked on the speech. “He’s off. He’s on his own now. He’s inspired,” Jones told Hansen in 2002, four decades later.

Mahalia Jackson, who had performed earlier and was one of King’s favorite gospel singers, cried, “Tell ‘em about the dream, Martin!”

Although it’s not clear whether King heard her, he did.

“I say to you today my friends, even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. It is a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.’”

Having raised his eyes, he now had to raise his voice to be heard over the growing applause. He continued to profess his dream, repeating the refrain seven more times, moving from justice and equality to something deeper — a human bond transcending race.

“I have a dream that some day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.”

It was as if only once he was up there, gazing out, could King see a future many that day could not: “… in Alabama, little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today!”

To his wife, Coretta, it seemed King had forgotten time itself, that his words flowed “from some higher place.”

He ended suddenly, returning to the speech that had been lying unread on the lectern for the last line: “Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty — we are free at last!”

For a moment the audience was stunned. Silence. Then, a rocking ovation.

Ralph Abernathy, King’s deputy and a fellow preacher, told him, “Leader, you swept today.”

At the White House, President Kennedy — who with King would produce much of 20th-century America’s memorable oratory — turned to an aide: “He’s damn good.”

Kennedy and his aides had honed his inaugural address for weeks, and he had read its stirring words as written; at Gettysburg, Lincoln gave the speech he had written. But King created a masterpiece on the fly, “like some sort of jazz musician,” said David J. Garrow, whose King biography, Bearing the Cross, won the Pulitzer Prize in 1987. “It’s the spontaneous parts of the speech that people remember.”

What has happened in the years since these powerful words were spoken can be debated forever. Whether the dream lives on, was fulfilled, or turned into a nightmare (as Dr. King often asserted before his assassination) does not diminish the message that resonated with people all over the world.

Join us tonight, LIVE at 9PM ET, for this discussion, and the latest developments on our coming military involvement in Syria.

Hi Truthseekers, Mike and Kathy Malloy here. We are so grateful for all you have done thus far to make the Malloy:Uncensored video project a reality!

Your incredible show of support means so much to us, personally, and truly fuels the fire to deliver the most creative, entertaining, informative and outrageous video broadcast you've ever seen! We are truly amazed we are already 97% of goal in less than 24 hours.

AND, the more we raise, the bigger and better the program can become! Those cameras will be rolling soon and we promise you'll love the result! As always, YOU are the most important element of this program, and we are 200% committed to bringing the best programming to you.

Update #2
We are humbled and the next steps

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/50094194/the-mike-malloy-video-show/posts/583075

Hi Truthseekers, Kathy and I – and Molly, too – are incredibly grateful and humbled by the amazing show of support you have given us since we launched the campaign on Tuesday.

Now that we’ve met our initial goal, we can get to work immediately on readying the studio to produce the Malloy:Uncensored video show. And Kathy can get busy baking all your reward cookies! Better buy more butter!

This campaign proves that the Conservative noise machine is just plain wrong. People do want to hear two different points of view. You do want a complete marketplace of ideas. Progressives are free-thinkers who value free speech and will not let the corporate media spoon-feed us their propaganda, or allow Conservative talkers to tell us what to think.

And we want to show you how much we care about you by bringing you the best, most creative, informative, entertaining Malloy Video Show possible. It’s what you deserve and it’s our commitment to you, and theTruth.

Conservatives got the jump start on talk radio years ago and quickly appointed themselves the kings of the airwaves. That doesn’t mean it’s true. Progressives came late to the party, but listeners like you prove, everyday, that you are a force that demands equal time. Demands free speech and access to all voices and opinions.

The vast expanse of the Internet lays in front of us, a new frontier that the Conservatives have failed to dominate. With new digital media opportunities ahead, using tools like crowd-funding to finance the movement, we can control the future of Progressive media. We are the Internet pioneers and with your support, we will spread the message that we are a Majority that will be silent no more!

So keep clicking that Kickstarter button, Truthseekers, because the more funding we can raise, the louder, prouder, bigger and better we can become! And we can finally destroy the pesky myth that no body wants to hear what Progressives have to say.

You care. We care. And together we are legion. Spread the word about our kickstarter campaign to your friends and social media buddies. Visit mikemalloy.com and do what you can to make sure the Revolution is televised! Once again, you prove that YOU, Truthseekers, are the most important element of the program!

Me-wow! Colonel Meow sets record for world's longest fur
http://www.today.com/pets/me-wow-colonel-meow-sets-record-worlds-longest-fur-8C11022223



Colonel Meow has earned his place in the new Guiness World REcords 2014 book for having the longest fur on a cat.
Plenty of celebs are in the Guinness Book of World Records, including Justin Bieber (most popular online video), Lady Gaga (most Twitter followers), and Prince William and Duchess Kate (their wedding was the most livestreamed event ever). But they will all need to move over and make room for a very special Guinness Book addition: Colonel Meow, who has officially won the honor of Longest Fur on a Cat.

The two year old Himalayan-Persian crossbreed cat’s fur is nine inches long, easily securing his place in the 2014 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records. The cat became a viral internet sensation this year when his owners, Anne Marie Avey and Eric Rosario, began posting pictures and videos of the hilariously adorable Colonel online.

Now, the Los Angeles kitty has more than 178,000 Facebook fans and 73,000 Instagram followers. His long hair, big eyes, and “epic frown” combine for a very funny and striking overall look, and his owners love to pretend that the Colonel is an actual dictator on his social media profiles.
