You Can’t Play With My Yo-Yo

On my first trip from the East coast to LA in 1990, fate kissed me on the forehead at the car rental desk. I was assigned a convertible with a booming sound system instead of the super discount subcompact paid for by my company. After immediately noticing the golden [...]

‘What’s going On’
Marvin Gaye
Peace.

On Sundays for the past several years, my husband has had to hold breakfast. My dogs have had to wait for their walk.
Nothing happened until after my fix of Tim Russert and “Meet the Press.” I’ve looked forward to that Sunday morning hour the way some people look forward to church. The burst of ideas [...]

Mirror in the Bathroom
The English Beat
One of my favorite songs, revived by one of my favorite movies.

Please click here to check out my post “Thank God it’s Friday: Hillary Clinton Concedes.” An excerpt:
The press is calling this a “rally for unity”. But can Obama and Clinton unify the Democratic Party while the wounds are still raw?
What will Obama say right now to the hundreds of thousands of Clinton supporters who vow [...]

Spent all day doing democracy as a poll inspector (aka supervisor.) Given all that is happening it was a little surreal to be working in a place so out of the way that there was NO cellphone reception.
And I tell you, I had to check a couple of disgruntled or shall I say freaked [...]

Groundbreaking Blues and Rock legend Bo Diddley has passed away at the age of 79.

So sad.

I am so excited to invite you to join me Monday through Friday at my second gig as a news/racial issues blogger for AOL’s Black Voices Blackspin blog. It’s a lot of fun already and the community is very interactive as far as comments go.
I love to hear what you all have to say, [...]

I stumbled across this horoscope just now and chuckled…and then winced. There are a few messages here for each of the candidates, and for us voters.
Potent Pluto, the mythological lord of the underworld, backs out of Capricorn on June 13 to make one last visit to Sagittarius through late November. This may trigger extreme attitudes [...]

ABC News’ Eloise Harper Reports: The press traveling with Sen. Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign received an email Thursday afternoon informing reporters they could sign up for travel through June 6 on the campaign website.
Given the speculation surrounding plausible outcomes from this Saturday’s DNC Meeting and [...]

I came across this over at Jack and Jill politics. Michelle Obama spoke out about the poisonous talk of assassination - and the possibility.
Here’s what went down in Phoenix on Tuesday:
…(Michelle Obama) Called on another supporter, whose voice quivered and broke with barely contained emotion as she explained how important it is to her, personally, [...]

Passin’ Me By
The Pharcyde
If you love early hip hop and are of a certain age, you’ll remember The Box. I went through a phase where I ordered up this song every night for a couple of weeks. Of course it took hours for them to play it so I didn’t get much sleep during that [...]

…We believe just as strongly that Mrs. Clinton will be making a terrible mistake — for herself, her party and for the nation — if she continues to press her candidacy through negative campaigning with disturbing racial undertones. We believe it would also be a terrible mistake if she launches a fight over the disqualified [...]
