Welcome! This is an unapologetic, agenda-free zone. Just commentaries on current events that’ll move you to think, laugh, rage, and even cry.
On March 14, of the 64 teams selected to enter the 2012 NCAA tournament, I picked Tennessee, Maryland, Stanford, and Connecticut to make it to the hallowed Final Four … and Connecticut to win it all. Well I suppose it’s a good thing I have no allegiance to any of these teams and couldn’t care… Read more.
Sweet 16 On March 12, of the 68 teams selected to enter the 2012 NCAA tournament, I picked Kentucky, Florida State, Louisville, and Kansas to make it to the hallowed Final Four. Well, for one who had no allegiance to any of the teams and couldn’t care any less which team wins the national championship,… Read more.
A Whitney Houston sex tape is the last thing the public needs. Frankly, this smacks of peddling necrophilia. After all, Houston was little more than a walking corpse when her cad of a lover recorded the tapes in question. Now she’s dead, and unable to defend her honor. Whitney Houston sex tapes Ray J was… Read more.
Over 9,000 people are murdered in the United States every year. Therefore, it takes extraordinary circumstances – like a mother (Casey Anthony) killing her child – for any of them to become a cause celebre. The circumstances surrounding the killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin are extraordinary to say the least. (One can be forgiven for thinking… Read more.
I am pretty sure this phenomenon will die a media death this weekend when Tom Brady and the New England Patriots show Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos, in convincing fashion, that winning Football games has absolutely nothing to do with how much of a spectacle one makes of praying to God. (“The Divine Tim… Read more.
The United States’ legacy there will be distinguished either by a terminally wounded national pride as American forces beat a hasty retreat in defeat (following the Russian precedent in Afghanistan), or by thousands of American soldiers being lost in Afghanistan’s ‘graveyard of empires’ as they continue fighting this unwinnable war (following America’s own precedent in… Read more.
I resented it years ago when Madonna and Angelina Jolie appeared to be adopting Black babies as little more than a celebrity perk. Therefore, it does not surprise me that there’s growing resentment among Blacks over the recent adoptions of Black babies by Sandra Bullock (of The Blind Side), Kristin Davis (of Sex and the… Read more.
Whether it’s Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated. Being a fucking idiot is a valuable commodity in this culture because you’re rewarded significantly… It’s celebrated. It doesn’t make sense to me. This was Mad Men star Jon Hamm playing social critic in an interview in the current edition of Elle (UK) magazine. Interestingly… Read more.
From linsanity to bracketology…. I am disappointed that, after filling out the men’s brackets, the sports-fanatic and politically savvy Obama did not take a few minutes to have ESPN broadcast him filling out the women’s brackets as well. Of course this assumes that women’s college basketball would have even figured in his consciousness or in that of… Read more.
No doubt it’s a tragedy that a U.S. soldier marched into an Afghan village on Sunday and slaughtered 16 people in their sleep; especially so because among the casualties were nine children, including a two year old. But there’s something perversely American about this shooting rampage. After all, people (even soldiers) “going postal” like this in the United States has… Read more.
