I'm being nice. I'm calling her a fool. I really want to call her the name of a garden utensil. Riehle Hunter is a fool. She slept with a married man who was a presidential candidate, John Edwards.

Be prepared. We lose an hour of sleep this weekend. It's time to turn our clocks forward an hour. Some of my friends are happy about this; others aren't. Longer days, more sunlight, and welcoming w

If you didn't hear the news. A 17-year-old girl was murdered by her Facebook friend. The girl "friended" a sex offender who was pretending to be an 18-year-old boy. He was actually 35. Now parents

I got the urge. It started last weekend. The weather is warming up and the sun is shining. I hear birds trying to build a nest outside my window. I've come up with this year's to do list. The list

Sunday night is a big deal in my house; it's been that way for years. The 82nd Oscars will be televised and our house we'll be tuned in. I'll also watch Barbara Walters's last Oscar Night Special.

Job growth in our economy is slow. The unemployment rates is high for people of color in this country. In my part of the country, small businesses are picking up the slack. Small business account for

I have to admit: I'm glad Leno's back. Conan O'Brien just wasn't funny. NBC needs to admit that they made a mistake. I don't care what opinion polls say... NBC failed one of the basic rules of marketi

If you have seen this before, please read it. Enjoy! A very humorous and revealing story is told about a group of white people who were fed up with African Americans, so they joined together an

Today, New York State Governor David Paterson dropped out of the Governor's Race. A week ago, he announced that he would run and nothing would prevent him from seeking election. His campaign is probab

I was so proud tonight. Precious Director Lee Daniels, comedienne Monique (supporting actress honors) and Gabbie Sobourney (best actress honors) were the big winners during the NAACP Image Awards. Mor

My girlfriend called me yesterday: she got fired from her job. It shocked me because Ann had been there eight years. She told me she was thinking about quitting anyway because her employer was mad she

I haven't been watching the Winter Olympics too much. Frankly, I find them boring. I don't ski, don't ice skate, play hockey, and you can forget about snowboarding. Besides all that snow, the Winter O

This week, my daughter and I met with her high school guidance counselor to plan out her freshman year classes. Before our meeting, we did surveys, went through the school's curriculum workbook to che

Let's see ... there's Facebook, your internet address at hotmail, yahoo, aol, comcast, gmail...I could go on. There's Twitter. Cell phones, Iming, iphones, and Blackberrys. And while all these things

I may hate the IRS, but crash my plane into its building? Leave a suicide note and go on a rant on my Facebook page because they stole money from me. This is a story even I couldn't make up. I also kn

I don't know how many of you watched. I didn't and frankly, I don't care. I had better things to do during the winterbreak today. I didn't want to hear about this story when it first came out and I ha

Former Los Angeles Lakers Star Earvin "Magic" Johnson who was interested in purchasing Johnson Publications, the home of Ebony and Jet Magazines, has said "No" to the deal. It seems that the 50-year-o

Like Jay Leno doesn't have enough problems. Rumor has it that Tonight Show Band Leader Kevin Eubanks will be leaving The Tonight Show when it returns after The Winter Olympics. Eubanks, who has been w

This story startled so many people when it broke. But singer John Mayer used the "N" word in a recent interview in Playboy Magazine. He apologized, but the damage (in my opinion) can't be repaired.

The Story of Sleeping Beauty: A Contemporary Dance Experience, ended this week at Rochester Imstitute of Technology's National Technical Institute for The Deaf's Robert F. Panar

I've been off this site for a few weeks. There's a good reason why. I recently completed my latest and second literary installment, Win-Win, a story about love in the world of semi-professional footba

SuperBowl 44 Weekend in New Orleans recently got a little twisted. I heard a news report about former NFL player and Dancing With The Stars runner-up Warren Sapp. He was alledgedly charged with chokin

I'm not happy about this at all. When I do get to watch TV, there are a few shows that I enjoy. Ugly Betty is one of them. Based on a popular telanovela, this show stars Vanessa Williams, America Ferr

We are almost halfway through the month of February and I'm wondering what you've been doing to celebrate Black History Month? I've been covering black stories for my weekly 411 column in the Buff

Addressing the first African-American President of the United States as "Mr." Obama is getting on my last nerves. It just downright disrespectful. I have NEVER heard media address Presidents Bush or C
