Strange juxtapositions and odd outcomes are common, and they are not really all that odd, for history is "Koo - koo crazy" as Frank Sinatra used to say.So if Condoleezza Rice's face on a Nazi Wehrmacht poster seems at first to be odd, well, Brothers and Sisters, it ain't odd at all when one takes history into account. I teach part time at Wayne County Community College in Detroit, and sitting last week in my little cubical at the college, the downtown campus, in the faculty office, tapping away

Below, I will play the role of “political” psychiatrist and try to help the patient work through their issues.The sole purpose of any political party is to win elections so they can implement their policy agenda.

Over the past two weeks, indeed over the past one month, things have really gone from bad to worse for me.I am scared for myself, my family, my people (all Nigerians), Nigeria itself.

Congress has already approved a $500 billion line of credit to the FDIC. Without a doubt, that line of credit is going to have to be tapped.
