This is the only picture I've seen of Eldridge and myself. Of course I could check with the police, FBI or Cointelpro. Cleaver is wearing one of his tunics he designed at the same time he came out with the "dick pants," so this is after he broke off from the Born Again Christians. Thanks, Muhammad Al-Kareem.

THE GEOGRAPHY OF EGYPT
IF IT can be said that nature plays favorites, then EGYPT was her favorite Child. There are several geographical features which combine to make this a unique land.

Progressives have hobbled the Democratic Party and have played a big role in its drift to conservatism. Yes all the progressive allies of the Democratic Party, such as Move-on, the unions, the peace movements, the NAACP, the ACLU, environmental groups, human and civil rights groups, civil liberties groups….you name it, are all guilty.
This realization came to me after I attended a Democratic club meeting recently. I have been a member of this club for over thirty yea

For me Sylvia's passing was like losing a member of my family. I've known and admired her and her family since my first eating at her then humble restaurant in 1968. Thanks to a friend, Sam Anderson, who took me there because I was homesick for home cooking, I became a regular diner of Sylvia's over the years.
That friendship and kinship was born of her eternal genteel nature, graciousness, elegance; her love of people, and her wonder food. Even when her restaurant was n

SLAVE MAN,
WHERE IS YOUR GOD?
Slave Man, how did you get here, where are you from, and what is your heritage?
Your pain and suffering has gone on forever,
And I cannot remember when you were not here.
Slave Man, are you sure you want to live under these circumstances?
You do not profit from self-determination, therefore, what’s in this country for you?
Slave Man, tell me; where is your GOD?
What did you do to deserve the agony and humiliation you endure?
You people give new meaning to enslavement
