It appears the media is already bored with fmr Massachusetts Governor and presidential candidate Mitt Romney. They want to wrap this up after SC and move on. The media was bored with Obama the day after he was elected. Anyone remember how pundits were already picking horses for the 2012 race no less than 24 [...]
Yes, they did it! Here comes the bride/bride, groom/groom, bride/groom. Couples willing and committed to taking that next step can, and will have all the rights and benefits that come with the package in New York state.

Shortly after 9-11 I remember friends anxiously speculating about when and where “the other shoe” was going to drop. Apparently, it has. On his final visit to Iraq, President George W. Bush appeared in a press conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki. As Bush wrapped up his remarks, an Iraqi television journalist, Muntathar [...]
I was about to fire off a “misidentified Black person” email to the Washington Post today (if Undercover Blackman didn’t beat me to it), over Robin Givhan’s story about the Glamour [Magazine] Women of the Year awards which were held in New York this past week. [btw - the Glamour awards throw substance ahead of [...]
