I am in the middle of a mid life rebirth. While writing has been and will always be a passion of mine, photography opportunities have been booming.

Politico “Caught between their boss’ anti-lobbyist rhetoric and the reality of governing, President Barack Obama’s aides often steer meetings with lobbyists to a complex just off the White House grounds — and several of the lobbyists involved say they believe the choice of venue is no accident.

Usually when there is a national discourse about something unrelated to race, it takes folks a minute or two to find that missing link between the current issue and your great, great, great grandma who was whipped by “Mister”. If a racial element is not being mentioned, chances are that race is a factor. All […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Rolling blackouts? Something to think about

by Duane on February 7th, 2011 at 8:03 am
Posted In: Headlines, Just "Why?", Politics

The weather this country has been experiencing over these past few weeks has been historic to say the least. So it is somewhat understandable that our nation’s power grid has been seriously tested. But when you have a president who is on the record saying that he is going to drive our coal industry out […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

When America IS the slumlord

Posted In: Follow the money, Headlines, Politics

The next time you cheer a politician for adding more public housing, I want you to remember this video. Then I want you to remember the examples I provided this week of what we as Black people were able to accomplish when the government didn’t want to have anything to do with us.

Looks like my Tea Party prediction is coming true

by Duane on December 2nd, 2010 at 10:23 am
Posted In: Headlines, Politics

I have written at least several times on this site that although the Tea Party movement has good stated intentions as it relates to how government should operate, I believe that in the long run this movement would end up like the anti-war movement on the Left.
