President Obama and the American people scored a major victory with the recent Fiscal Cliff deal. At least, this is what we’re supposed to believe. That is, if you listen to “certain people” in the media of course. I don’t really feel like naming names, but let’s just say that there’s a lot that they’re [...]
Oh, so you think unions are bad for business and workers. OK, here’s one reason why you’re wrong. Yep, and I’ll give it to you in one word. Are you ready? Here it goes: slavery. Yeah, marinate on that one for a few and get back to me. But don’t tell that to Michigan’s Republican [...]
Newark, New Jersey mayor Corey Booker is living on Food Stamps. No, this has nothing to do with him being melanin afflicted, and being predisposed to slothfulness. Starting out as a challenge to one of his right-wing leaning followers on Twitter, who asserted that, “nutrition is not a responsibility of the government. Apparently, Booker is [...]
So I would really like to understand a few things, namely why a person who publicly outlined their “plan” to avoid serving this country during a time of war that included wearing crap filled pants for several days to establish mental incapacity, and who’s only claim to fame is an obscure and extremely brief music [...]
After another phone call by a local home medical supply company to harass my mother into trying to find a way to BUY a hospital bed for her 100 year old mother I am way beyond pissed off and truly need to vent. The latest in this saga has them now calling and telling her [...]
So yeah, about that whole lazy moocher, non-tax-paying, 47 percent, Obama-loving-voter meme running around in right-wing circles this week thanks to Mitt Romney. My man David Callahan who blogs over at Demos has done an excellent job of debunking much of it in a recent post titled, Freeloader Fabrications. I believe the post to be [...]
You know, I’m starting to second guess Mitt Romney’s VP pick, Paul Ryan. All this time I thought he was a cold and heartless politician much like the guy at the top of the Republican presidential ticket. Judging by his much talked-about budget proposal, with 60% of its cuts targeting the most vulnerable among us, [...]
Back when most of my friends were mad at Corey Booker for finding the Obama campaign Bain attacks to be “nauseating,” I defended him. I’m not going to say that said attacks didn’t work, or helped to frame the debate and establish a clear choice between Pres. Obama and Mitt Romney. As a matter of [...]
I watched the opening night of the RNC Convention on MSNBC. I grew disgusted as lie after lie after lie was told, but wasn’t surprised by it in the least. Nevertheless, I figured a family night of Negrospotting — yes, my entire family watched with me — among the sea of Caucasians in attendance would [...]
Got a question for you, white people….now that the rich elite have destroyed the middle class, what are you going to do? There is no middle ground anymore….poor white people are back to being on equal footing with black people….just like back in slavery days in America. Prior to 1670….poor white people were treated the [...]
So Mitt Romney says he’s paid at least a 13% tax rate in the last decade. Problem solved, all is forgiven, but not really… Mitt Romney’s tax problem isn’t going away; that is, not until he shows more than two years of his returns as he already has. And from the looks of it, if we’re [...]
I’m an avid watcher of the Investigation Discovery channel. Chock-full of sex, murder, money, and whodunit hour-long documentaries, I’m particularly intrigued by the series featuring scorned wives, lovers, and husbands who find the myriad of ways to plan and execute the demise of their spouse or significant other. In many of the cases, the use [...]
Today the Senate Judiciary Committee will convene a hearing on gun control on Capitol Hill. This long awaited hearing is the first since President Obama’s introduction of proposals and his 23 executive directives in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in December. At today’s hearing everyone from the president of the National [...]
This year, I made a pledge to myself that I was not going to feature what I call mugshot stories. That would be, stories in particular that feature people of color being arrested for doing dumb shit. Yes, the internet is filled with those type of stories and there’s no need for me to add [...]
While Chicago has seen 40 homicides in the month of January, the rest of the country is in many ways just waking up to the grim reality of violence in the nation’s third largest city. In yet another bloody weekend that saw seven people killed and six wounded, many are now talking about the pain [...]
A funny thing has happened with the gun control debate that I didn’t see coming; but, to tell you the truth, I should have seen it coming before now. After all, with all the talk of keeping guns out of the hands of “bad guys.” I’d be a liar if I didn’t admit that I [...]
