By now most people have seen or heard of the young honor student who was beaten to death by gang members. He was coming home from school and he was jumped. What was his crime? He refused to join a gang. I have heard some people say he was at the wrong place at the [...]

For the past several days I have watched so many people try to define rape. On the view Whoopi Goldberg said “there is rape and then there is rape.” This morning Matt Lauer interviewed Sharon Tate’s sister who is the sister-in-law of Polanski. She said there are degrees of rape. Well I must have missed [...]

As I watch talk television I am annoyed with the constant comparisons between President Obama and former presidents Johnson and Reagan. Everyone seems to wax poetic when they talk about the political prowess of Johnson and Reagan. They talk about how they could work members of both parties and get things done, but what they [...]

The Republicans are becoming masters at escalated and extreme rhetoric. Rep. Franks while speaking at to conservatives in St. Louis said the president was “an enemy of humanity.” Today his spokesperson came out and said what he meant. “Bethany Haley, a spokeswoman for Arizona Rep. Trent Franks, told CNN on Tuesday the congressman was actually [...]

This morning I saw Debra Winger on the Today Show defending the admitted rapist Roman Polanski. She like so many in the Hollywood community believe this is ancient history and he should not face further prosecution. Now why are they so forgiving of him? He has admitted that he slept with a 13 year old. [...]

Roman Polanski gave a 13 year old girl drug and liquor and he raped her. In the United States this act is classified as rape. Polanski fled the country 30 years ago to avoid serving time for the crime. He was arrested a few days ago in Switzerland and now he is fighting extradition to [...]

It is ironic that the President and the first lady will be traveling to Copenhagen to try to persuade the Olympic commission to bring the games to Chicago. Chicago is a beautiful city full of great venues for the games. The Magnificent Mile offers the ultimate shopping experience. The city has the beautiful picturesque Navy [...]

I just watched a videotape of Derrion Albert a 16 year old honor student who was beaten to death Friday on the grounds of his high school. The beating was captured on a cell phone. The people with the phone seemed to be almost have an amped up glee as they approached the scene. We [...]

A Facebook poll asked should Obama be killed and gave the voter four options: (1. Yes 2. Maybe 3. If he cuts My healthcare 4. No) the poll has since been pulled, but what this demonstrates is a frightening mindset. Since President Obama has been in office assasination threats have gone up 400%. During the election [...]
