Checkbooks, Katrina, Iraq and Presidential Candidates

This political stuff is simply too much fun.
So McCain has decided that Obama- due to the “lapse in time” since he’s visited Iraq- cannot possibly be taken seriously in his bid for the white house. According to Mccain, Obama hasn’t been to Iraq in two years and therefore really can’t talk about what is or [...]

Rachael Ray, Scarves and Terrorism… Really?

Um…
Is this for real?  Has Dunkin Donuts really pulled its ad featuring Rachael Ray because the black and white silk paisley scarf she’s wearing symbolizes… terrorism?
Dammit. I think it is real.
I initially saw something about this earlier on The Huffington Post, but as much as I love that site, I really just thought it was a [...]

White Folks, Minorities and Adoption

Now here’s an issue I can get excited about!
We’re talking about transracial adoptions. With me being the beautiful halfrican queen that I am, adopted and raised by a fabulous white family… this is right up my alley!
Currently there are more white families that are willing and able to adopt children than there are minority families willing and able to do [...]

Jilted Lovers, Clarence Thomas, Derek Jeter and Big Feet

Quite a while back I heard a news story about a whole bunch of black men who were receiving hate mail after they had been seen in the company of white women.
In reading the story, though I can’t recall where I originally saw it, I remember thinking…
Huh.
This nonsense had been going on for over 20 [...]

Waterskis, Catfish, The Lake and… Butter

Yesterday after work, my sidekick brother The Hippie Andino (aka Don Pablo) and I high-tailed it out of town…
We headed west forever, and then went north for a while, ultimately landing in my personal little slice of heaven.
Most folks have never heard of this little spot, and that’s how I prefer to keep it. I grew up comin here… this is [...]

McCain, Hagee, Hitler and God

Well guys, McCain certainly has stepped in it this time, kinda like so many people feel Obama did, not too long ago.
I won’t lie. I am downright tickled.
Seems McCain’s good buddy and staunch supporter Rev. Hagee is of the belief that the Holocaust was God’s will. He says God sent Hitler to perpetrate the Holocaust [...]

How To Rent A Negro

Oh my goodness! I have found the answer to racial disparity… Really! 
Of course, I had always hoped I’d be the one to bridge the ever-widening racial gap in this country, but it seems I have been beaten to the punch.
Sigh.
Oh well. I’m not bitter… I couldn’t possibly be. Not after what I’ve just discovered! Best I can [...]

Poh-lice Officers, Al Sharpton and Cowboys in NYC

There’s some bitter-sweet news coming out of New York this evening. According to this article in the New York Times, the officers involved in the fatal shooting of Sean Bell will face internal disciplinary charges.
I hate that it took this long… and am still pretty upset that they were acquitted of criminal charges, but I’m willing [...]

Bathrooms, Baptisms, Dr. Suess and Pentecostal Preachers

I read a good post today- written by a fellow blogger who goes by the name BB&G CMac, about his very first memories.
In reading it, I started thinking about my earliest memories too. I think that was the author’s intent… it’s actually a lot of fun to do! 
One thing is certain, I was a weird kid, to say the least.
For [...]

Smiley Face Murders… Yikes!

How eery! I just heard about a new group of serial killers- responsible for at least 40 deaths of college students (all males) throughout the U.S.
Initially, none of these cases were linked. I guess these students vanished into thin air after a night of drinking. Inevitably, their bodies would be pulled from nearby bodies of water. Investigators [...]
