What we Can Learn from the Jaycee Dugard Kidnapping

This is the kind of story that you watch, and frankly, the only thing you can say is WTF?
HOW DOES SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN? That’s the question I had while reading the story of now 29 year old Jaycee Dugard who was kidnapped at age 11 and held captive for 18 years and [...]

How Do You Rebuild Trust?

When your heart has been broken by love – how do you rebuild trust?
I watched the Oprah interview with Elizabeth Edwards, the 59 year old wife of Presidential candidate John Edwards.  For those of you who aren’t up on the story:  In 2004 Elizabeth Edwards was diagnosed with breast cancer and she went into remission.  John [...]

He’s the President that’s Why!

Barack Obama’s Presidency has brought the attention, not to the economic crisis of our time, but to ignorant racist rants and I don’t know about you, but I’m sick of it!

 
 
 
 
Let’s first look at the BIGGEST controversy, the NY Post shooting of the monkey.  Tasteless and definitely racist!

Eric Holder “A Nation of Cowards”

The media has done it again! They’ve taken a sound bite, played it over and over again and have gotten people all riled up!

Sarah Palin She’s Baccccckkkkk!

For someone who keeps criticizing the media’s coverage of her why does she constantly appear before any camera that will film her?
Because she loves the attention - that’s why! 
Now she’s arguing whether or not she will receive anywhere from 7 million to 11 million for a proposed book deal to “tell her side of the story.”

Cease and Desist – Sasha Malia Dolls

The controversy brewing over Ty, Inc.’s release of the Sweet Sasha and Marvelous Malia dolls has now hit the blogs.  This one is a no brainer to me. HELL TO THE NO!  These are small children.  Yes they’re now public figures because they are a part of the historic first family, but that doesn’t give [...]

Has the Dream of MLK Been Fulfilled?

Martin Luther King, Jr. day holds special meaning every year, but this year it’s extra special because tomorrow we will officially inaugurate Barack Hussein Obama as the 44th President of the United States of America.
Has Dr. King’s dream been fulfilled?  That’s the real question of this moment.

2009 A Year of Hope?

By the grace of God we made it to another year! 2008 was very interesting, to say the least.

The Presidential Election made the biggest headlines. It felt like it would never end. There were however a few headlines sprinkled inbetween election coverage:

The writers strike that screwed up programming of my favorite shows.
