The Caribou Barbie Reality Show

First Presidential DebateOoohhh, I so wanted to take a break from politics but how could I do that after Barack Obama thoroughly destroyed John McCain in the first debate. Of course, most Republican pundits will say that McCain won but that's all just false reporting. When you break it down issue for issue, McCain never had a chance.However, McCain did have a few smart things to say. Unfortunately,...

Women are just too damn picky...

So, as I was twittering away, one of my blog buddies, the great and popular Raw Dawg Buffalo asked me to respond to his recent post: She gotta give me my ax. You go read it.Here is my response (edited and amended):I think it comes from a high school mentality that women never quite shed. From middle school to high school young women develop these specific desires as they get crushes on boys, teachers, actors, musicians, and so on.Then they talk about breaking men apart to create their perfect man....

Blog Love: Ep. 1: Sauda & the Snob

The Sauda VoiceThe Sauda Voice is one my favorite blogs to read because the author is so smart (and she is also absolutely gorgeous). Sauda sent out a general request for a guest blogger. I decided I'd answer her call. Honestly, I didn't think she'd take me seriously. Why? I don't know. But, she did. Now the question became what to write about. I have so many drafts and just general ideas, I didn't...

Big Brother Works Both Ways

The minute we're born, the doctor slaps our little bottoms and the nurse enters our information into a computer database. This is something that we have to accept in this digital world. Let's call it the Matrix. Yes, I like that, too. At any point in time, our entire lives can be opened like a book or a computer folder. Everything that we were, are, and will become exists in this folder and its subfolders on computers around the world. All it takes is for someone to compile this information to get...

We Are Always On Trial

I had a conversation with a friend of mine the other night. It really made me think about how I treat my friends and even my family. The conversation started when my friend felt that I would scrutinize her too much. I didn't disagree with her. In fact, I admitted, rightly so, that I did and I would continue to do so. Of course, any normal person would feel somewhat offended at constantly being scrutinized. However, the reality of the world is that we're always scrutinized all of the time. Every...

Anne Kilkenny: Pawn takes Queen

I love chess. The reason I love chess is because of the strategy. I am a strategist at heart. My favorite book, my bible, is the Art of War by Sun Tzu. Politics is strategy; better yet, it's warfare. It's a chess game with an incredible number of pieces. And, it's not turn-based. That means, no one is going to wait for you to make a move. If you don't move, you start losing pieces. Right now, this...

There will be no 9/11 memorial in The US of Anthony

Last year, 2007, I wrote a blog about my day during 9/11. It's not especially adventurous or as action-filled as other stories. I was stuck downtown at Union Square, early in the morning. That's it. No one I knew died. The worst of my friends' stories is that someone lost her shoe and I haven't spoken to her in maybe a year. So, there's not much for me to tell and I don't even want to waste my time with a copy/paste.That blog has not been transferred to the United States of Anthony.I do want to...

Usher: I knew it.. I knew it

Normally, I am not big on gossip. In fact, I hate it. Fun to read, but I am not the one to write about it. But, I have to show some appreciation to Usher for telling us before we "heard" it. See, the thing about Usher's music is that he's probably one of the few artists that actually uses his own life's experiences in his music. And, he doesn't hold back. You've just got to listen.Let's think about...

Story of a Mastermind Criminal Child

When I was in the 5th grade, PS 125 in Harlem, the teacher, Ms. C, used this reward system called Scholar Dollars. Basically, depending on the grades we got on tests, good behavior, and so on, we'd get Scholar Dollars.
