With a lame duck session of Congress convening next week, everyone is talking about whether the Bush tax cuts should be extended or allowed to expire at the end of this year.
Republicans argue that if the cuts are allowed to expire, that amounts to a tax increase. Democrats want to continue the cuts for those making less than $ 250,000 per year and let expire the cuts for those making more than that.

Obama Drama: When in trouble at home, go abroad--Onward Christian Soldiers
Afterthe failure of midterm elections, Obama and his shaggy, effeteneo-liberal regime fled America for a propaganda journey throughoutAsia. His first stop was India that is one of the new boys and girls onthe block, a member of the new global power bloc called BRIC, i.e.,Brazil, Russia, India, China. He spent three days begging India topurchase weapons of mass destruction to help the staggering
I spoke at wordsmiths back in 1995 in Los Angeles and told the "Artists and activists" that were there that Black theater these days are nothing but Mintrel shows without the Black Face and that we should be proactive in ensuring that our children don't look back on us in shame because of the way we allowed our people to be depicted on stage. They promptly called the Brotherhood Crusade and tried to get me fired for disrupting The meeting. NOW, here we are. And these POOR misguided COLORED artis
John Anthony:
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." MLK.
QUESTION : WHY DID MARTIN LUTHER KING STRESS FOCUS ON CONTENT OF CHARACTER INSTEAD OF ON SKIN COLOR??
Here is the answer: in this society the color black is synonymous with numerous negative stereotypes which strangely African Americans themselves believe in:
1. Black monday
2. Black cat
3. Black cloud
4. As bl
I have spent a total of nine months in Nigeria since my relocation experiment started and everyday I wake up to see what those ruling us have done and are still doing to Nigeria, I become despondent, desperate and disillusioned. I sometimes want to give up and when I reflect, despite my long-held belief that Nigeria will change for the better, in the face of all the evidence I see and hear and feel and experience everyday, I privately think, “No, Nigeria will not change, at least not in my lifet

November 5, 2010, Geneva – US activists in Geneva observing the government’s first-ever review by the UN’s top human rights body said the government failed to convince the world of its positive human rights record.
“If the US government delegation’s objective was to reclaim the mantel of global human rights leadership, it failed miserably in that effort,” said Ajamu Baraka, Executive Director of the US Human Rights Networ

As the political dust begins to settle, there are many who are
already passing the blame and taking credit for what appears to be a major
shift in American politics. The Republicans in a sweeping set of victories
have reclaimed the House of Representatives, while the Democrats only
narrowly held on to the Senate. Already pundits are sifting through the
debris, sorting through the tea leaves, and superficially deconstructing this
most recent of elections. The problem, as with mo
Now that we have had our fanny perpendiculars handed to us, what’s the plan blackman? Do we have a counter strategic strike?
When Obama initially won The White House, white America immediately prepared a counter strategy and today they have kicked our collective fanny perpendiculars but however bloodied, beaten and defeated we are or feel we still have a black president and his entire family trapped behind political enemy lines and let’s leave no man behind. So, what’s the plan blackman?
