Living on the North American continent, one can be very saturated with the news originated from here, particularly American. Yes, I do have BBC World News on my cable service but like all other cable stations, I don’t have time to watch them all (and I believe that can be a good thing). As I surfed the internet this morning on Youtube.com, I discovered that British Conservative Leader David Cameron’s six year old son died this past Wednesday. Though I have never met Mr.Cameron (and I am enthusiastic about him becoming Britian’s next prime minister in 2010), I extend my heartfelt sympathy to his wife and their two other children as they cope through a very sad and difficult time.
Who in the hell is James Pate? Ah, that is James Bradford Pate and don’t you forget it! He is a good friend that I have met on the internet for over a year when I discovered his blogsite called James Thoughts and Musings which is Blogger.com supported. He discusses those pesky things you don’t ever talk about at the dinner table: religion and politics—but he makes the issues so exciting! Oh yes, if you are expecting political correctness from him—as Tony Soprano and the mafia would say, “forgeddaboutit!” James is a 32 year old Harvard graduate (look out Mr.President, you got a competitor and so do you Mayor Miller!) who has a neurological condition called Asperger’s Syndrome, which is considered on the Autistic Disorder Spectrum. He freely and openly writes about his condition among other things. If you looking for somebody with a fiber of authenticity, look no further. He is also a Ph.D. student at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, so his studies are go beyond Harvard. Despite his broad and thorough education, he talks to people as opposed to talking down to them. This does not mean you are exempt of not knowing what you are talking about, James rightly expects you to do your homework! I never once heard him bragged about his degrees to beat people over the head to prove his intellectual superiority over others. Thumbs up James! Without further yapping I will now give the site location of his blog on wordpress called James Ramblings at
