Just when I thought I was out, she managed to pull me back in! Yeah! Okay! So I stole that line from Godfather III, but, hell that's the way I'm feeling! I vowed NOT to devote one keystroke to Sarah Palin unless and until she stopped pimping herself and actually threw her ass into the 2012 POTUS race. But, this woman has gotten on my last good nerve and I just have to say something! I am sick and

On February 4, 1968, these resounding words were heard at the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia:If any of you are around when I have to meet my day, I don’t want a long funeral. And if you get somebody to deliver the eulogy, tell them not to talk too long... Tell them not to mention that I have a Nobel Peace Prize—that isn’t important. Tell them not to mention that I have three or four

Oh Yeah! It's FRIDAY!!! And that means it's time for some old school jamming and par-taying in the blogosphere! Today's Old School First Friday theme is for the brokenhearted. My mission is to choose a song that helps you deal with a heartache. The saddest most pathetic and depressing, break-up song your heart can imagine. I'm not sure how sad or pathetic this break-up song is or if its really

 WTH???O.K., so I sojourned across the "blog-pond" to see what my friend, Bent Society, has been up to during my hiatus. There, my friend is ranting about the London 2012 Olympic mascot. My heart immediately begins to sink, as I'm expecting to see something resembling a golliwog of sorts, to which I know that I am simply going to go off! Thank goodness! It wasn't a golliwog (don't want to upset

REMEMBER ME? ADJI DESIR? Its been two years, and still no information about Adji Desir. If you remember, Adji went missing two years ago today while outside playing in his grandmother's yard. Now, this youngster from Immokalee, Florida is still now where to be found. He disappeared without a trace. There have been many tips called in but none that lead the authorities to finding this little

I'm a sucker for pomp and circumstance, so I thought the decision to open the 112th Congress with the reading of the Constitution was a pretty nice touch. Of course, that was before I realized that they were only going to read it as it has been amended. It would have been a great historical event had they read the Constitution in its entirety, showing this Nation's attempt to truly be "a more

A few weeks ago, I was taking some much needed time to clean my inbox of junk mail, commonly known as spam. One after another, I systematically placed a check-mark beside emails for which I had no interest or little concern. Yes, I admit that some of the emails were from individuals I knew - but, alas they were marked for the trash chamber for no doubt being yet another chain. As I checked  off

There is no doubt that many see illegal immigration as a huge problem in America today. And, surprising at it might be, I "understand" Arizona's desire to do something about it. But, the problem with the Arizona is  that they passed a legislation that's impossible to apply in an equitable fashion across racial and ethnic lines in an effort to ward off potential illegal and terrorist activity. So,

O.K.! I know! I know! It's been a long time since I've posted. Not that I haven't had anything to say - but because "life" has been getting in the way of blogging and I just haven't had much time. So, why am I pissed you ask? Well let me break it down! First: I've been tracing my family roots for the past two months.

Sometimes it's just hard to rise above the dumb stuff. To look the other way when foolishness rears it head. To turn a deaf ear to lies and innuendos.  And when the dumb stuff, foolishness, lies and innuendos are directed it you, then it is even more difficult to keep your wits about you and avoid the "oh hell naw" moment. I'm guilty! I admit it! So, I guess that's why an unknowing colleague sent

Even after the Mayor  being told the Las Vegas Welcome Mat would not be made available to him (the Black community tore him a new one for that), the POTUS came to Sin City away to help old Harry keep his job (ain't gonna happen) couple of weeks ago.

Did you know that in the past seven days, there has been 224 earthquakes? There are wars and rumors of war. There is famine and despair. It is hard not to believe that we will see End of Time during this generation. Perhaps there is something to this 2012 thing that seems to foretell that our days are certainly numbered.
