Wednesday, November 18th, 2009The big question of late is all about Sarah Palin. Her book, if she will run in 2012, if she can win. And then there are the controversies. Newsweek really set things aflame with their cover of Mrs. Palin. And the claims of the cover photo being sexist and insulting have been raised. But are [...]
Black Conservatives on television
Monday, November 16th, 2009I don’t know how many people saw this on Friday. I think it was very important. I think that there are far too few that pay attention to the other Black voice in the Black community.

Television Preview: The Prisoner (remake)

Almost invariably such efforts are refuse best avoided than partaken in. But sometimes there comes an exception.
