WHO ELSE WILL BAN JAPAN’S NUCLEAR FISH?

As radiation levels and leaks in Japan’s damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant have now reached levels that can “kill an unprotected human within hours,” The Guardian reports today that the South Korean government has banned seafood imports from Japan’s Fukushima region and adjacent areas because Japanese power company Tepco released […]

OBAMA HAS LOVE FOR BLACK CAUCUS – AT THE MOMENT

The US Congress appears close to crushing President Obama’s dreams for a punitive Syria military adventure, thus ostensibly rendering the President’s credibility to a state of suspended animation at best. Reading the bones on the ground, what’s Team Obama’s next brilliant idea to get as many “Yes, you may bomb Syria” […]

SAINE AND MARBLE’S FRIED CHICKEN THEORY OF POVERTY

Any politician who brings a box of Popeye’s chicken and a smirk to a State Senate hearing about reducing poverty as a “silent protest” in support of a colleague who correlates Black folks’ supposed fried chicken fetish with being broke is not even remotely serious about discussing anything. We have respective […]

WHAT DO THE RUSSIANS THINK ABOUT SYRIA NOW?

Russian President Vladimir Putin said two interesting things during an interview with the Associated Press and a Russian television station about his support for embattled Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The first item, which most of us have heard before, is that Putin finds the idea of Assad using chemical weapons to be “absurd” since Assad’s […]

JAZE BAQTI – FORWARD

“Forward” by French producer Jaze Baqti. I dig how he freaked that Rotary Connection sample…

POOF! SPOOK BEGONE!

I call it the ‘You Should or Shouldn’t’ Solution […]

Watching this animated Carlton gif reminds me of a time in 2007 when then-Senator Barack Obama wasn’t considered “Black enough.” I was also reminded of the time a young lady of African descent telling me that cow foot soup “Ain’t Black food.” I’ve heard people say that listening to Jazz “Ain’t Black.” Hell, I […]

BEFORE THE BOMBS FALL ON SYRIA…

Short of telling me that President Obama has decided to lob bombs at Syria to punish Assad for using chemical weapons on civilians because someone is pointing a gun at Obama’s head, I have to think he and his national security team are bonkers. Or…Washington’s war planners have selective memories about […]

OBAMA – DREAM PASTOR-IN-CHIEF

Before I get started on President Obama’s speech at the 50th anniversary event for the March on Washington, allow me to partially silence the Obama Choir Section by dealing with the two former Presidents who also spoke on that day. For starters, I suspect President James Earl Carter’s dreams are not […]

POPCORN ALERT: SAUDIS ISSUE THREAT TO RUSSIA

Remembering what I wrote regarding Russia’s terrorism concerns during the 2014 Winter Olympic games they will host in Sochi, this article I read in As-Safir [CLICK FOR ENGLISH TRANSLATION] about Russian President Putin’s meeting with Saudi intelligence chief Prince Bandar bin Sultan is probably the most mind-blowing piece of news I read […]
