Many people have asked my thoughts on the tragedy that unfolded in recent days at Fort Hood, TX. I have received telephone calls, e-mails, and even a comment on another post on this particular blog, all wanting to know if I was going to post about the tragic events that cost 13 people their lives, [...]

People often ask me why I am so interested in politics. The answer I most often give is that it’s because politicians can be so much fun!
I decided, after Joe Wilson’s now-infamous outburst during President Obama’s address to the joint sessions of Congress, to do a little research on Rep. Wilson himself…
… More specifically, I [...]

You know, I really do try to respect other cultures.
I swear I do.
But this shit right here is disgusting.
The story takes place in Phoenix, AZ.
A little eight year old Liberian girl was lured into an alley by four boys- aged 9, 10, 13 and 14- who promised her some chewing gum if she went with them.
Once [...]

Before delving into the true topic of today’s post, I want to point out some things about me personally.
I am different.
I am not black or white, but both… as are my thoughts, my feelings, my emotions and experiences.
I am a smorgasbord of things…
… I am half white, a quarter black and a quarter Native American.
I am [...]

Oh, Obama, you’re breakin’ my heart!
To say the least, I am extremely disappointed in Obama’s recent flip-flop on gay rights- most specifically, the military’s discriminatory Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy.
If he keeps this up, he’s gonna become nothing more than just a regular ol’ politician in my eyes.
That’s a heartbreaking thought.
Back in January Obama’s Communications [...]

Ok People, listen up.
For the purpose of this post, I don’t give a hoot what your personal views on abortion are.
Regardless, the above image, found on a T-shirt offered through the American Life League, is inappropriate for your child to wear to school.
Especially if said child is a mere 7th grader, attending an educational institution that consists [...]

I just finished listening to Sarah Palin’s resignation speech, from start to finish.
Wowsers.
After almost 7 full minutes of rambling… and not a whole lot of sense-making, we learn that she is stepping down as Governor of Alaska.
It was quite disjointed, from strange basketball analogies to promises to affect political change for Alaska outside of politics, to my personal [...]

Generally speaking, I don’t follow local politics too closely.
This little nugget, however, has made national news, shaming the state of Missouri, and helping to further cultivate the image of the backwards state so many people already perceive it to be.
Unfortunately, these people are not altogether wrong in their assessment, thanks in part to the recent contributions [...]

We are getting news today that the Supreme Court has ruled on the infamous New Haven Firefighter reverse discrimination case.
Supreme Court nominee, Judge Sonia Sotomayor, in a strange coincidence, was one of the presiding judges during this case’s original appeal.
The High Court has ruled in favor of white firefighter Frank Ricci, reversing Judge Sotomayor’s ruling.
As most [...]

Representative Wilson Falsely Claims Obama Lied… Will You Stand With Joe?
Representative Joe Wilson from South Carolina sure did cause a stink Wednesday evening.
Wilson was the guy who famously hollered, “You lie!” in the middle of the President’s speech about health care reform to the Joint Sessions of Congress Wednesday night. Obama was in the process of addressing a pesky falsehood about the health care bill, one stating that should the legislation [...]
