There's this idea floating around the United States (of America, not Anthony) that Obama's nomination will be the end to "Black Politics." In other words, African Americans will not be able to "complain" about inequalities in the United States. If this is why some people are voting for Barack Obama, they've messed up in the worst way imaginable.First of all, the realization of a President Barack Obama...

TVOne Coverage of the DNC

When I found out that TVOne was covering the Democratic National Convention in Denver, I was immediately on board. I marked it on my calendar and I make sure to set the timer every night. It was necessary that I watch the DNC through this intelligent, educated, African American lens. Switching between CNN and TVOne, I found the personality and colloquial attitude of the show more appealing than the straightforwardness of CNN. And as I watched the DNC through TVOne, it made me feel proud to see so...

I want my Michelle Obama

First of all, let me say that I am jealous of Barack Obama. He is the man right now. He's an educated man with a Bachelor's from Columbia University and Juris Doctor from Harvard Law.

But, what I am most jealous of is that he's married to one of the hottest women in the nation, Michelle Obama.As I watched Michelle Obama speak at the Democratic Nation, she made me...

It was like neon lights. i couldn't do some of those pages.Secondly...

You are NOT the father!

Oh, I know I am going to piss off quite a few women with this concept.Men who "father" children should be given an option to be considered sperm donors!I came across this website regarding deadbeat baby daddies. Just do a search; there are quite a few angry women out there who aren't getting their state-sanctioned handouts from the men who impregnated them. I understand, agree, and sympathize with many of those women because they were in loving relationships. They were with guys who basically played...

You can have Jay-Z. I've got TOMMY CHONG!

Tommy Chong of Cheech and Chong fame had a book signing for his new work, Cheech and Chong: The Unauthorized Biography, at Bryant Park in New York City today. Being tapped into marijuana culture, I'd figure that this gathering would be huge so I was somewhat concerned at the short time time period he would be there from 12:30 to 1:45, in the afternoon. I was worried I wouldn't get my book signed nor...

All in the Family Picnic – July 12th, The Malone House

The expansive grounds of the Walter Reed Hospital held a very special family event on July 12th 2008 in the courtyard of the Malone House (so conveniently located on campus and serving as a hotel for the families of our veterans). What an honor it was to become a member of the family that day, and especially to share this honor with my horse, Jack, and my United States Park Police Horse Mounted Patrol colleague, Ret. Ofc. James “Bullet” Watson. They both joined me as an invitee to share a warm...
