Good Afternoon Charles,

I doubt Justice Thomas is a 'medium' speaking for the late Justice Scalia but when I read about his posing of questions, it surprised me as well. He is well known for his silence.

BTW, I wanted to mention to you that I viewed "Ride with the Devil" the prior weekend and enjoyed it very much. Thanks for bring it up. It's a fine film and Jeffery Wright (Holt) was particularly good. The denouement was fascinating. But, I contend that the character, Jake portrayed by Toby Maguire also had a similar epiphany. He too, looked at Holt as an equal and belonging to nobody. I especially liked the ending. It connoted Holt as a 'free man'. Damn good movie.

Now I recommend a film to you. Check out "Something of Value" by Richard Brooks (1957) and featuring Rock Hudson, Sidney Poitier and Dana Wynter. It's about the Mau Mau Rebellion in British colonial Kenya and it's effects on two families, one black & one white. Based on a novel, it was slightly ahead of the curve for the time. It's photographed in Africa in B&W.

It's a sad state of affairs when a Justice actually asking a question is front page news.

In an ironic twist of words, Clarence Thomas is the very embodiment of an empty robe.

Only Maudede could write this article and spend a whole paragraph talking about African mediums but never once tell us what Thomas actually said.

Please wait...
