Wayman Tisdale—In Memoriam

Tisdale played basketball for 3 years at Oklahoma University and 12 years in the N.B.A. (Indiana, Sacramento, and Phoenix).Upon retiring from basketball, he went on to have a critically acclaimed music career as a jazz bassist.

This is just around the corner from where Big Four (Detroit Police Unit S.T.R.E.S.S.) were known to have beaten young men to death and left them in trash cans behind local businesses. Down the street from the home of David Nelson of the Last Poets

Seeking forgiveness

Posted by Ulysses on May 17, 2009 at 5:51pm

I'm posting this because I need to muster up the courage to seek forgiveness from someone that I've hurt.The fact that I love this person more than air is irrelevant to the truth that I caused them pain.I feel the need to reach out to them to offer them support while they're dealing with an even greater pain.I'm putting this into the universe in the way that is most comfortable for me.Because in some odd way this seems somewhat more lasting than just speaking it aloud.

Even though America has yet to admit that it engaged in torture, referring to its conduct as “enhanced interrogation techniques” or “what some people call torture,” it is not doing a

Michael Steele--Chairman of the Bored

May 14, 2009Raynard JacksonMichael Steele, chairman of the Republican National Committee, is more like chairman of the bored. If committee members would spend half as much time fighting Democrats and President Obama as they spend fighting Steele, maybe the party wouldn’t be in such disarray.In all my years in this party, I have never seen any other chairman micro-managed to this extent. It is well documented that Steele got off to a rocky start, but either he is going to be chairman or he’s not.

“The people who are trying to make this world worse are not taking a day off ….how can I? Light up the darkness!” - Bob MarleyMost people in the Arts, or more specifically, theater and acting world will know what the Theatre of the Absurd is: A designation for particular plays written by a number of primarily European playwrights in the late 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, as well as to the style of theatre which has evolved from their work.
