Open Forum: What’s On Your Mind? My Experience With Hurricane Sandy

Survived Hurricane Sandy And all I have to show for it is this blog post – no T-shirt yet. That was one nasty trick without the treat. I guess the treat is still being here to write about it. Was I scared? No, actually. Besides the difference in how it sounded, like a train rolling [...]

The Jeremy Lin Show

NBA: Same Ol’ Same Ol’ It has been years since I’ve followed sports, basketball in particular. I watched the Knicks when Ewing played for them, that’s how long ago it’s been. And if you want to know how out of it I was, I’ve never watched Michael Jordan play. I’ve never tuned into his games. [...]

Independence Day

A short note here: This is not only a day where the country is celebrating independence from its colonial ruler, remember that for you – it can be a day to celebrate your independence from toxic, negative, life-draining, selfish a**h*les! God bless America. Happy 4th of July everyone! Stay in good health and peace of [...]

The Next Disaster: Will It Be Us?

Does tragedy come in threes? fours? a score or more? I am certainly not wishing for it. I’ve been briefly taking in the news on Japan, because I don’t want to take it up to “disaster porn” level. I’m hoping that the Nuke Reactors get under control, and nothing worse happens. Are You Ready For [...]

I Have to Support President Obama, Because He’s a Black Man

At least, according to Miss Jina: @Blog author and Bellydancer WOW..You are on here saying what has Obama done nothing for you? Wow..What the f*** did the other forty or so white presidents do for you? This is why black people can’t get ahead. Some people in the group always want to tear each other [...]

Give U.S. More Stupid – Part 1

Corporatism Runs Amuck According to some constitutional “scholars”, the US Congress can mandate (force, compel, threaten to jail) Americans to buy stuff, from any corporation, at any price. Why? Thanks to Supreme Court rulings via the commerce clause and their interesting re-interpretation of a plain English document (US Constitution). I thought slavery was unconstitutional, but [...]

Hair: travel style, observations, and conditioner concoction

Returning to Normalcy (Yawn) and Travel Observations In September, I was away for nearly three (3) weeks, and honestly, it was a downer to return. I never used to feel that way. I used to be so happy to be back in America it wasn’t funny. This was the first time I realized I could [...]

The Election Is Finally Over!

I feel like a bear coming out of hibernation. I wont joke. I spent a lot of time following the election, even as I said I wouldn’t. I did not, however, stay up to watch the election results. I didn’t expect any untoward surprises. I was a fivethirtyeight.com junkie, so I felt pretty comfortable. We [...]

Random Thoughts on Father’s Day

My father introduced me to politics. He even wanted me to become a lawyer, but alas that was not to be. He’s still around, and lives with my mother of course. My folks are immigrants, two times. They left their island home for the United Kingdom. My mother foresaw that opportunities in Great Britain might [...]

Business, Politics and the Personal – Part ii

Continued from Business, Politics and the Personal – Part i • Business: People are in business to make money. That’s a given. I understand that. The Good Person Myth I don’t like the fiction – pushed by the media – that a successful businessperson or famous corporate entity has higher morals or ethics than anyone, [...]

Give us all of your tired, hungry and poor – they work hard!

The rallies are not a problem…. There is nothing wrong with illegal aliens demanding instant amnesty and US citizenship. Illegal aliens have gotten away with so much already, why shouldn’t they demand more? Professional journalists and columnists never question whether they should be here at all, but offer up endless sob stories about disrupted, poor, [...]
