The unemployment jump I reported earlier this week is probably going to push some other folks into the pro-recession camp, but there […]

BBC News reported recently that unemployment rates in the US jumped from 5% to 5.5% in May 2008 for the fastest increase in more than 20 years. Whether you believe we’re in a recession or thinkg it’s a bunch of hooey, that is hard to ignore.
Honestly, I don’t have a good sense of what that […]

I’m just wondering. Will she be alright you think? She’s a lot like me - a sore loser. I HATE losing and sometimes struggle to congratulate the winner. I wonder if Hillary is the same way. Speaking of which - has she congratulated Obama yet?
With the changes going on in the political arena, I seriously […]

When Mrs. Ferraro made this debatable statement a few months ago, perhaps she never considered the repercussions of what her words would have on Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Could she have realized then how her words would be perceived as majorly negative and divisive among the Democratic ranks? Did she care?

She’s and actress and a singer. She’s the idol of millions of little girls around the world as Hannah Montana. She’s worth millions. And she’s ubercontroversial right now thanks to a mostly naked photo in Vanity Fair. Yes, I’m talking about Miley Cyrus.
Parents are in an uproar about the scandalous photo of the underage Disney […]

It’s true. Black women have for decades been the matriarchal backbone of the family, continually providing support. Through her tenacity and diligence, many famed Black leaders have excelled who have come from some single-parent, female-led, Black (or other ethnicity) homes.

I was somewhat shocked to read this story about two women who killed homeless men for insurance fraud. They would select certain homeless men, take out life insurance policies on them then strategize how to kill them and collect on the policies.
