Blago Blago Go Away….

No one can say this man doesn’t have balls! Governor Rod Blagojevich is spending his time doing a press junket with the New York news media as his impeachment trials gears up. He’s scheduled to appear on Larry King later – bumping former President Carter from today’s line-up. I really wanted to hear what [...]

When Coloquialisms Run Amuck

I was having a conversation with a passerby while in a customer service line yesterday. We briefly spoke about the Inauguration and the weather in SF compared to DC. We separated and went about our business. As the woman left she turned back to say goodbye to me but what she said stopped me [...]

President Obama’s Weekly Address

Excellent! So I’ve tended to listen and dismiss them until now but he’s the Prez so this week was of particular interest to me. From plans to close Gitmo, to allowing less restrictive stem cell research, to the passing of the Ledbetter Equal Pay Act (which he’s expected to sign) I am liking what [...]

Old School Friday

I still have 2 more DC related posts that I’m working on, but in the meantime I am back to my regular scheduled blogging (I think) between the nasal spray, Zicam, tea and soup. I am determined to not take any antibiotics unless absolutely necessary. I have to return to JFK and was able to [...]

My Big Fat Inauguration Recap Part One

Sorry Folks: My internet access has been very spotty and I haven’t been able to update anything!

I’m sure for many it was a day of tears. Tears of joy, frustration, sadness or intimidation but definitely memorable. I for one was very happy not just for a Black man getting elected, but definitely [...]

Greetings From DC

Hey All,

Sorry for not posting this weekend but this isn’t the time to be lugging a 5lb laptop everywhere! I am sucking on throat lozenges as we speak. A lot of talking and a 50 degree change in weather makes this girl’s throat beg for mercy!! Anyway, I will be posting pictures and such [...]

Old School Friday

This week it’s television theme songs. Meme started by Mrs. Grapevine. I’ll try to pay a little more attention to what’s going on. Last week was high school graduation year and 1999 isn’t mine! Oh well. It’s all good. I chose Fantasy Island. As a kid I thought this show was funny. The unfamiliar [...]

Supremes Say Yes To Illegally Obtained Evidence

The Constitution was always a flawed document inasmuch as the architects were guilty of major double-standards in drafting it. It works in theory however – and it’s supposedly the jewel in the crown of the making of a nation. Now we know this country was built on murder and mayhem but we were supposed [...]

Ah-Nold Channels A Little Palin & Shrub in 12 Minutes or Less

Sigh. Big Sigh. What can I say that hasn’t already been said? During his latest State of the State address Schwarzenegger claimed the Dems and Repubs won’t play together to agree on a budget and yet – and yet – he keeps vetoing everything put in front of him. He wants all of the [...]

After All the Brouhaha Burris Is Senator

Burris said it best, “I AM the SENATOR!” What took so long? Some cried racism without credibility but the “fact” of assumption that his appointment wasn’t valid had many pondering. Some said it was a matter of paperwork (but since it was being stalled that’s not a fair assessment). Others put their foots in [...]
