Every year in New York city, on Dec. 31 I am told, event organizers include John Lennon's "Imagine. This morning on the SCI-FI channel I watched as a average American family was invaded by aliens. The aliens were on a mission to destroy the earth's people in order to use the land for their own growing population; justifiable they believed, because earthlings were lacking love,

Every now and again in Amerikan jurisprudence a dog does have its day. Such is the day for the former Police Commissioner Bernard B. Kerik. The former New York city Mayor Rudy Giuliani appointed Kerik to his prior top cop position. Kerik also became a hero after 9/11. The former Commissioner was also considered for Homeland Security Officer before scandal of corruption thwarted

The awards are presented by the Neo-Con cabal founded by Frank Gaffney, Jr. This years recipients of the awards was Dick Cheney!

As you know, the Nobel Peace Prize is on of the five Nobel Prizes bequeathed by the Swedish industrialist and inventor Alfred Nobel. According to Nobel's will, the Peace Prize should be awarded "to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses."

Today, I opened an email from a list of correspondents with whom I share a contact list. I do not know many of the folks on the list personally; as I have never met them off-line: they are all mostly, friends or relatives, of friends or relatives. Most of the time, I do not know even what color these people are, unless they say something that indentifies their race, or signals what race they may

Before 9/11, a dissonance so shrill rang from the Bush/Cheney administration bell-ringers that it caused an increase in racial and political hostility; as a result, even the internet was buzzing with strife and polarization; those of us, with an ounce of cognition saw through all of it.Ultimately, after 9/11 and the aftermath of our invasion of Iraq, even the 9/11 families became a vilified group

Mr. Obama delivered tonight! Just as I expected he would, he drew the line in the sand. Despite all the nuts and those who support President Obama, going nuts, I am hanging in there. Unfortunately, there is one in every crowd and the exception no longer applies to congressional settings, I mean wtf is up with South Carolinian Representative Joe Wilson?

One thing remains true: We are all frustrated with our bureaucracy; whether it is the former administration, or the current one; we all divide onto the side of the isle that walls our worldview; we each rely on what we believe in and trust only, on how we feel, our democracy should govern.While, in the midst of a plurality of reasons to be cynical, of our current political theater, I chose to

Hat-tip to Shay Riley and Sandra Rose. They both posted a video last week of a young man getting a beat down. You can check it out by clicking Sandra Rose's name.The video was violent and offensive. It simply showed someone getting their head pounded by someone much larger than themselves. The accusations of the assailant wasn't verified and he called his victim the N-word probably 20 times in 5

I personally despise corrupt politicians, but I get no pleasure seeing a brother fall, especially one who has good intentions, as I believe the former mayor now council member does. Yet, Marion Barry’s flaws in this HBO video are fascinating to watch. He obviously participated willingly in this film’s production; as misguided his participation may have been. I will assume he saw this merely as a

After a failed attempt to defend her position on health care reform, on the John Stewart Show, the matte and tactical Betsy McCaughey has resigned her post on the board of directors of Cantel Medical Corporation "to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest during the national debate over health care reform".
