Arab Prejudice in the Workplace? If You Don’t Wear A Niquab, Don’t Apply to Work Here
CNN is reporting that a woman in Cairo who recently graduated from a school of communications there was told she could not work in most television stations because she wore the Niquab. The Niquab is Arab dress that covers all but the eyes. Regardless of the fact that she would be working behind […]
Republicans Wringing Their Hands Over Newt
December 9, 2011
What is the Republican camp to do about Newt Gingrich? Surging in the polls and in matters under investigation. Will a vote for Newt really take us forward or will we remain at that fork in the road? Clearly many Tea Partiers and Palin supporters will not want to close ranks – at least not […]
DroidX is Not for Sissies or the Elderly UPDATE 2/21/2011
January 3, 2011
Disclaimer: The following is by a tech savvy but decidedly “older” Droid user. Time for a new phone at Verizon. They had such a good DroidX promotion last week that I was sucked in big time. It looked good and had flawless performance in the hands of the sales person. But in my hands, well […]
CNN’s Suzanne Malveaux And The Women of CNN
December 28, 2010
Call me jealous (I am) the gorgeous, gregarious and gifted (Harvard and Columbia grad) CNN reporter, Suzanne Malveaux is damnably difficult to ignore. That’s why when her recent shows have featured her in either shirts or sweaters that more or less highlight her upper assets, it was like gilding the lily. She can use it […]

Dems Flunk Communications 101 – Have a Hard Time Explaining Themselves
October 13, 2010
Remember last March during the heat of the debate surrounding passage of health care legislation when Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi intoned: “But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what’s in it”? [Sistertoldjah] Looks as if Republicans don’t talk down to constituents; Democrats do. She didn’t give voters […]
Internet Privacy MUAHAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAA
October 3, 2010
Every so often think to check out Wired’s website to see just what a jungle the internet is these days. We go out onto it as easily and casually as if we were walking down a sidewalk in our own neighborhood on a sunny summer day. Well it’s getting more like Nightmare on Elm Street. […]
Finally, Rick Sanchez Has Said Too Much and Is Axed at CNN
October 1, 2010
Months ago I was horrified to tune in to Rick Sanchez in the afternoon on CNN to discover that he was almost tweaking a situation to become news. I remember him saying at the break something like “stick around because here at CNN we not only report news, we make it.” This is so against […]
Running Away From 9/11 Anniversary
September 12, 2010
How many times can I tolerate looking at the planes hitting the twin towers at Ground Zero in NYC? After this year, not one more time. This year more than at any other time, the build up to the anniversary was marred by the press coverage of mini-madmen and their schemes such as burning the […]
