About the author

RiPPa is the creator, publisher, and editor-in-chief of The Intersection of Madness & Reality. As a writer, he uses his sense of humor, sarcasm, and sardonic negro wit to convey his opinion.

Shouldn’t the Voting Rights Act of 1965 be Obsolete?

Before I get into this one, allow me to say that this morning’s episode of MSNBC’s Up w/ Chris Hayes was epic; it was quite possibly the best episode I’ve watched to date. That in itself says a lot since I’m a huge fan of the show; and, the truth is, the show offers a [...]
