So I know a number of smart people who just don't vote.  Their arguments are the standard tripe of - one vote won't matter and it has no effect on my personal life.  Well yes, there is no direct correlation between your leaving the

What I find most interesting regarding Bob Johnson's remarks over Barack Obama's stated drug use is how it shows just how out of touch he is with today's Black America, well at least the Black America that I know.  First, his support

My life as a reality TV Show

Tue, 12-04-07 6:37 P GMT-05

So I have a new pet peeve.  People who wake up angry.  That has to be the only excuse.  It started with the taxi driver who picked me up (after I waited 45 min) and in the 10 min cab ride proceeded to cuss each and every driver out.&nb

Faux Outrage

Tue, 10-16-07 10:29 A GMT-05
I was watching the news and it seems like a large percentage of it now is coming from pictures or videos captured by hidden video cameras or people's cell phone cameras of something.  People express their outrage and move on.  But I rea

So yes, I'm in love with the new Chris Brown single.  Hotness all around.  But I still have the right to be mad at T-Pain for his lyrics about going to the McDonalds.  But I've waxed poetic about his lyrics before.  Anyway

Ahhh fellow bloggers, so many thoughts running through my head, so little time.  So I find myself again sitting in an airport writing a blog.  Now I don't want to be like my fellow traverer at MLWTCO, but we share such similar lives.&nb
