Actually I am hoping Obama does become the next president.

I expect him to make everything right for African Americans without imposing on the civil rights of everybody else.

Finally, no more excuses for not being able to get a job, finally no more excuses for teen pregnancy, finally no…

Nessie: I like the fact that the USMC is bringing this stoopid SOB to court but I think everyone would agree it would be a blow to the military justice system if he is convicted unfairly. So I am curious to know how certain you are about a lack of…

oh my aching balls, i was just getting used to the trains running on time.

this country needs some serious help in curtailing suicides. at least set some goals, like perhaps a reduction of 10% per year. This roughly translates to saving the lives of 7-8 people per day.

The reason why the Japanese did not prosecute was because she was just some chick attracted to the hip hop culture. These girls get very little sympathy from the Japanese authorities who ultimately think they get what they deserve.
