A member of this board, stated emphatically that he was offended by my words against this Mugabe fella. I've actually watched this situation from afar, and carefully educated myself about the goings on in this once great country. I will post a couple of links from PBS. If you know anything about PBS, they keep it real free from the influence of any one or more persons. Please read the links and decide for yourself.

1) Boracay Island is paradise Philippines located off the northwest corner of the island of Panay, and belongs to the Western Visayas island-group, or Region 6, of the Philippines. The island is approximately seven kilometers long, dog-bone shaped with the narrowest spot being less than one kilometer wide, and has a total land area of 10.32 square kilometers.
South-facing Cagban Beach is located across a small strait from the jetty port at Caticlan on Panay island, and the Cagban jetty port serv…

It was recently reported that the first time in recorded history we may not have ice in the North Pole during the summer months. There's evidence that this phenomenon can be directly attributable to the overuse of fossil fuels and greenhouse gases. Now more than ever we need to all do our part and take charge of how we expend energy. This is not a race thing (thank God) this is a people thing and everyone and I mean everyone needs to do their part. I'd be interested in some of the ideas and plan…

I seldom stray away from the theme of this website which is to foster dialogue between people from around the world free from any pre-conceived notions or racial prejudices. Today, I will make an exception and give you my thoughts on a Brother, a Noble, a Past Master, a family man and a pillar in the community in which he staked his claim. That community is this planet. The world lost a true gem a couple of days ago and that gem is U.S. Army Major Dwayne Kelley, Past Master out of Bethel Lodge #…

I often ask myself the question, what if Negro League baseball never existed. What if there never was a need for Negro League baseball. Any fool knows the league was created out necessity, not choice. The so-called Negro was not allowed to play in the Majors so those who loved and excelled at the game created their own league.
I mean there's two different perspectives here, one the league itself had some of the greatest athletes of all time, Josh Gibson, Satchel Paige to name a few. Consider a…

High IQ turns academics into atheists
12 June 2008
By Rebecca Attwood
Intelligence is a predictor of religious scepticism, a professor has argued. Rebecca Attwood reports
Belief in God is much lower among academics than among the general population because scholars have higher IQs, a controversial academic claimed this week.
In a forthcoming paper for the journal Intelligence, Richard Lynn, emeritus pro…

Now that it's an absolutely certainty, that Obama will be the next president. How do you think he will do? Will he look out for the interest of all Americans? I think he will. Will he end this war in Iraq? I think he will, maybe not in the timeframe he's promising but I believe he will. Will he create jobs for ALL Americans? I believe he will try. Will he work hard to relieve America of high oil prices? I believe he will try, but that's probably something he has no control over.

Superdelegates are jumping ship. It now looks like Barack Obama will get the nod as the Democratic nominee. It also looks like Hillary wants to come crawling back to Obama looking for the VP slot. Don't do it Obama, don't do it.

I may have posted something similar before, but I can't point to a single thing the Republicans have done right in the last eight years. If I were McCain, I'd drop Bush like a bad habit as he can do no good for him. Record governmental spending, deception as far as the Iraq war goes, thousands of dead Americans and Iraqi's, economy bordering on recessionary levels. This is not a good time to be a Republican and I am a Republican.
If Obama plays his cards right and for God's sake stay away from…

I graduated High School in 1979, which means I remember quite possibly the greatest band in the history of music. Keep in mind I'm only offering my opinion which is the beauty of blogging. I've made it abundantly clear I'm also a huge fan of Led Zeppelin which is an entirely different genre of music. Back to EWF, I saw these guys four times at the Philadelphia Spectrum and each time was an amazing experience. They had a stage presence about them that truly made them special. The only other band…

You know there's actually a non-active poster on this board who I will not call out, but has up close and personal knowledge regarding this "accomplice" to killing a cop. And for the record, I don't believe he pulled the trigger but it doesn't matter and I hold him just as much responsible as the actual killer who is still walking the streets. Let me be more specific, his brother killed officer Faulkner in cold blood and Mumia witnessed it and knows all the details. With that he is a killer in m…

It looks like John Edwards has come out in support of Barack Obama and that should hopefully be the end of Hillary Clinton....finally. As stated previously the only reason she would stay in the race is two-fold
1) She would like to bring Obama down, sort of a if I can't have it neither can you mentality.
2) The more likely reason is she is broke, and needs to stay around to help bring down that $20,000,000.00 debt she's amassed.
I'd be interested in hearing everyone's thoughts on this matter.…

Yesterday in my opinion marked the beginning of the end of the Hillry Clinton candidacy. Whatever votes and or delegates she gained from Pennsylvania she lost last night in North Carolina and Indiana. The fact of the matter is she won by the skin of her teeth in Indiana and got crushed in North Carolina. At some point in the very near future she has to get it, and get behind Obama for his run in the general election. Take one for the team if you will. If she decides to keep on going which is a d…

Personally in certain situations I say the death penalty is 100% warranted. Case and point, the cold blooded murder of Sgt. Stephen Liczbinski. I cannot think of a better case in which the death penalty is warranted. This man was killed in cold blood by an SKS assault rifle with a 30 round clip. This gun shoots 7.62's which are capable of cracking a truck engine block. This officer never had the opportunity to get out of his vehicle and draw his weapon, the rounds went through the door and kille…

I just posted a video that was performed live on the old Arsenio Hall show. As most of you may remember he had the hottest late night show on television, even eclipsing the ratings of Johnnie Carson. It is my opinion that when he dedicated his entire show to Louis Farrakhan that put in motion the beginning of the end of the Arsenio Hall show. Coincidentally two or three months later his show was canceled due to poor ratings. I reiterate Arsenio Hall had the hottest show on TV and was all of the…

It is my opinion that Rev. Wright's self-centered media campaign has officially killed any chance of Obama becoming our nation's next president. The simple fact of the matter is he has a few valid points but should have waited until all of this was over in a few short months. I understand the truth will set you free and I for the record agree with a lot of what Rev. Wright has to say, but he has to understand timing is everything. Obama in my opinion has showed so much promise not as an African…

I get my emails when I'm on the road so I basically miss nothing. Believe it or not it has made my life easier. The question I keep asking myself is how did I get by just ten years ago?
The short answer is "easy", the longer and more perplexing answer is I have no clue.

McCain has traveled where few Republicans dare travel, today a small predominately black Baptist college in Arkansas, a few days ago he addressed a rather large crowd of African Americans in New Orleans, four or five days ago Selma Alabama. While the man I support is busy digging himself out of an almost never ending always something new hole, McCain is taking care of business. Truth be told if I had to make a decision between Hillary and McCain I chose McCain without blinking an eye. There's so…

Subic Bay, Philippines is a beautiful place to simply get away from it all and relax. For those that have ventured to the Philippines you will find Subic and Olongapo City to be a refreshing break from the severely overcrowded Manila. Seriously Manila makes New York City look like a sprawling countryside, it's that bad. During rush hour it takes about two hours to get out of Manila proper, in the "late" evening it only takes about 20 minutes tops. Been there done that both at rush hour and late…

This is truly a sad story. I don't know where to begin, but this gentleman was accused of a crime he did not commit and subsequently locked up for 26 years. Early on an attorney knew who the real killer was but because of "attorney-client" rules it's considered highly unethical to devulge the pertinent information. I saw the attorney being interviewed this morning and you could see the torment on his face. Truly a sad story as 26 years of anyone's life behind bars is significant.…

It appears Barack Obama committed a major gaffe in San Francisco. He simply stated the truth that small town Pennsylvanians are frustrated and bitter over losing their jobs, benefits and rising prices of almost everything. In my estimation this is nothing short of the truth. Hey but why quibble over "the truth"? I view Barack Obama as a breath of fresh air, something new if you will. He's not perfect but in light of these past seven or eight years it's time to turn the page.
Now back to Pennsyl…

Kind of entrenched in the old Black Panther Party movement! I guess to each his or her own! They all turned out to be losers, but I guess they successfully performed a function in the 60's early 70's mostly hot air.

Proof positive this woman will say and do anything to get elected. Yesterday, as she continued to look down at her notes so she gets her story straight, she asked the crowd of Philadelphians. "Could you imagine if Rocky Balboa had gotten halfway up those Art Museum stairs and said, 'Well i guess that's about far enough'. She then goes on to say "Let me tell you that's not the way it works. Let me tell you, when it comes to finishing the fight, Rocky and I have a lot in common".

Yes, I know, I know! My wife has me looking at American Idol. This show is amazingly popular and I have to admit I'm a fan. Tonight however I think an injustice was served to a guy named Chickezie. He's a decent singer and at least three that made the cut, made it on looks (which is debatable). In my opinion Chickezie had more talent than at least three of the guys that made it to the sofa. Be that as it may, can something be stupid and entertaining at the same time? That's American Idol.

Barack Obama appears to now be in more trouble than ever before. A few harmless yet ill-timed remarks on a radio show this morning has left him in a world of hurt. My wife and I were in the car listening to the interview this morning and quite honestly it went right by us and the Angelo Cataldi morning team. He referred to his grandmother as a "typical white person". Angelo Cataldi is a very popular sports show host here in Philadelphia.

It has been 2 mos now that I am living in agony. I met somebody from the internet and have made a commitment with him for 6 months. To my despair, he disappeared for 2 months leaving me clueless. He resides in california, elk grove and if anyone is near there and is willing to give me a hand, I would greatly appreciate it. I just want answers. I do not want to beg for love, but i think i deserve a decent closure.

This is an awesome wine as far Chardonnay's go. Golfer Greg Norman outdid himself with this particular varietal. Lush melon notes, clean but not a lengthy finish. Creamy, citrussy and a little on the complex side. Pares well with grilled chicken. Highly recommend this bottle as it has that classic Chardonnay taste with a bit of French Oak evident.

It's being reported on the front page of the Wall Street Journal Online that most economists agree the recession is here. Fact is it has been for the last three months at the least. Another fact is you usually don't realize you're in a recession until it is well under way. Look for a flatline in terms of job growth this year, but with most recessions its cyclical and we should snap back first quarter of 09, amid optimism of a new president.…

I enjoyed a bottle of the above last night. For those who like great wines at an attractive price, this is it. Overtones of oak, tropical flavors and a peach element to it, small bit of earthiness gives you a nice round big taste with a long clean finish.
Grown in South Eastern Australia along the famed wine growing coastline. This is a must buy for Chardonnay lovers and and as always Australian wines tend to pack a significant punch. Out of a possible 5 tars, 4.5 stars......…

Looks like the Democrats managed to shoot themselves in the foot yet again. Yesterday's primary results will more than likely usher in John McCain as the nation's 44th president. It appears the two Democratic candidates will duke it out up to their convention, at which time it will be too late for them to declare unity under a singular candidate. With John McCain he has all of this time from yesterday to November to discuss his agenda and convince America that he is the man to take our country f…

Is it me or do you get the feeling you're hosed with these out of control oil prices? I was told that when we invaded Iraq this would help with the price of oil per barrel. Well, I guess it did help, help increase it!
