Welcome! This is an unapologetic, agenda-free zone. Just commentaries on current events that’ll move you to think, laugh, rage, and even cry.
Frankly, Memphis did not deserve to win – given that their superstars failed to make three free throws that would have sealed the NCAA Division 1 Men’s Baskeball Championship last night. Or maybe they were fated to lose – given that it would have been unseemly for this city, where the nation marked the 40th… Read more.
It seemed an uncanny coincidence last September when coroners in London and The Bahamas announced – within days of each other – dates for highly-anticipated inquests into the deaths of Princess Diana (and Dodi Fayed) and Daniel, the son of Anna Nicole Smith, respectively. Therefore, it seems positively eerie that the juries in both cases… Read more.
Sometimes an actor can become so identified with a role, one can be forgiven the impression that it was the only one he ever played. This, alas, was the case with Charlton Heston and his role as Moses in The Ten Commandments. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2002. He died at his home… Read more.

But nothing distinguishes his iron-fisted rule quite like the drama that occasions presidential elections, which, of course, he always wins. Therefore, despite media speculation that Mugabe might finally be upset at the polls today, I suspect the only real question about… Read more.
This year, for the first time, I shared my New Year’s resolution, which was published here on January 3, 2008. But I did it primarily as a public service announcement (PSA). Moreover, with my doctor’s collaboration, I am committed to writing quarterly updates on my progress to inspire (though more likely to commiserate with) all… Read more.
