Welcome! This is an unapologetic, agenda-free zone. Just commentaries on current events that’ll move you to think, laugh, rage, and even cry.
Smart men routinely do stupid things for a little poontang – despite potentially grave consequences. And, of course, no man manifests this oxymoronic predilection more than the impeached former president of the United States, William Jefferson Clinton. Nonetheless, I suspect few of these men would do something that is clearly illegal just to “get off”.… Read more.
Too often, the claim of racism is nothing more than the last refuge of black scoundrels. And it behooves all black people of conscience – especially those of us who advocate for real victims of racism – to condemn these scoundrels. Because, as sure as it is undeniable that blacks are the victims of racial… Read more.
CONGRATULATIONS to the Florida Gators!!! Congratulations also to the other teams that made it to the coveted Final Four: George Mason, LSU and, alas, the loser in last night’s championship game, UCLA. (Final score: 73 – 57).

Because the only solution to the metastasizing immigration problem is for the U.S. Congress… Read more.

Therefore, please prevail upon our government to reverse its ban of the showing of Brokeback Mountain in our country. Because such a ban only makes a laughing stock of our maturity as a… Read more.
Even though commenting on good news out of Iraq seems an oxymoronic proposition these days, I am sufficiently relieved by Jill Carroll’s release yesterday to do so. Carroll, of course, is the journalist who was kidnapped on the streets of Baghdad nearly three months ago by desert-variety bandits who now control movement there more than… Read more.
I, Whitney! Whack on crack? Whitney Houston is losing her battle with drugs. A year ago, almost to this day, I published a despairing post to this effect. She manifested the tell-tale ravages of drug abuse on her face and in her voice. I lamented her cracked-out look. I also derided her fatuous denials about using drugs. Of course, there… Read more.
Last October, American cable and broadcast stations saturated the airways with reports, in titillating detail, on allegations that black players from the Minnesota Vikings football team had engaged in entirely consensual orgies during a party-boat excursion – albeit in full view of other leering boaters.
