Open Letter to President Elect Obama
Dear President Elect Obama: As you have hopefully inspired many Afro Americans to aspire to greater goals; I have been inspired by George Bush and Sarah Palin. I now believe that I am smart enough to be President. I realize that there are many people in Congress smarter than I, but few with as much common sense. Please keep this in mind as you read my "vision" for America. Taxes: Generally raising taxes in a bad economy is not a good idea. However, we do have a $10 trillion debt. We can't ...Read the rest of this post »

Whether his peccadillos were as innocent as he maintains is for the jury to decide but regardless of whether he is guilty as accused, his behavior certainly never even remotely exhibited any level of maturity or the ability to make rational decisions beyond the "I want ...Read the rest of this post »

"Teach them politics and war so their sons may study medicine and math in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music and architecture..." ---John Adams A deep scar runs halfway across my chest and halfway across my face, from brow to lip, unpretty to look at, children cringe when they see me I am the stuff of their nightmares and for that I go concealed so that none may see me and fear.
