Where is the All inclusive, all powerful black church now that the Obama Administration has joined the fight against AIDS in the Black Community? The government has decided to do something... Why is the Black Church still silent?

Congressional Black Caucus, NAACP, SCLC, Urban League, you need to step up to the plate, too...........

Marilyn Chambers has died at the young age of 56. For those who don’t know the name, she was the baby on ivory soap and then grew up to star in the first porn movie that I ever saw..."Behind the Green Door." Marilyn and Linda Loveless answered some of my questions about sex way back when...

May she rest in peace..

Michael Steele..Yezza Boss!

So Mikey sends out a fund raising letter attacking Obama after the people in his party told him to go after the man directly...In his letter Steele accused Obama of attempting to negotiate with "crackpots." As Steele said everyone knows you can’t negotiate with "crackpots."

Out of his own mouth....because if we can’t negotiate with "crackpots"....then why is anyone talking to the GOP and Michael Steele...........

Speaking of Crackpots...

This tea party movement....uh....saw the video....they really want to burn books? They really think that college brainwashes their kids?

No science.....no books.....no education......and they want to have tea parties.....hmmmmm!

I guess there is no point in me referring to George Orwell, or Brave New World, or Farenheit 451, The Handmaids Tale, or the Wizard of Oz, Animal Farm, The Bible, or the Talmud, or the Apocrypha or the Koran, huh?

Ricardo Montalban

The best Star Trek movie ever......The Wrath of Khan.

It was the second full length motion picture after the television series. Ricardo Montalban was Khan, a Moby Dick quoting, genetically engineered genius, who sought revenge on Captain James Tiberius Kirk. 

“From hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee “

 Who could forget Montalban as Khan, as he literally spit out those words against Kirk.  Words  from the mouth of Captain Ahab as he tried to kill the monster white whale. He was not successful and neither was Khan. His whale, Captain Kirk, lived to fight another day.

Spock, however, died at the end of the movie.

Montalban died today. He was 88. Family said he passed in his sleep. Montalban also played another of my favorite characters on television, that of Mr. Roark the dapper, white suited caretaker and keeper dreams on Fantasy Island.

May he rest in peace.
