Go West Young Man

I started writing a long, drawn out story about how this guy,

Cornel West, is a real guy, to anyone, like me in particular. 

Things got a little wordy, and I thought that readers might start

to yawn and fall asleep before getting through the post.  So, please,

take my word.  This guy loves and respects every one of God's

children equally, I believe.  While greeting him at the restaurant on

dozens of occasions, I've had more man-hugs from him than all of my

 guy friends combined....ever. A random meeting on the sidewalk

with him this evening confirmed my belief that no-one is better

than anyone else. Especially since that the majority of our other

customers, upon seeing us outside the restaurant in otherwise

 ordinary settings, don't usually recognize us because we're not

in our "uniforms", serving them.

I may not believe in all of his political views,  but that doesn't

matter. I am his brother, and he reminds me every time I see him.

Hey, wake up!  Were you snoring?
