Every month this year, either or one of my family members had been in municipal court. They have seen us there so often that we know each other by name. One day, a clerk handed me a stack of papers and asked that I deliver them a judge on the bench. Much to her dismay, [...]

Wait a second and let me stop laughing. Okay, I’ve wiped my eyes an I’m rereading the reports. It’s still unclear an it isn’t really funny. Something is amiss in the Woods family. My first thought when he married “the help” was that he had turned his back on all the beautiful black women all over [...]

What’s up with the “turkey pardon” thing. Every year elected officials waste time pardoning a turkey for Thanksgiving. Tell me, do you think the turkey knows this?

It was once again check-up time. Never mind that I’ve seen a doctor ever month this year. With my birthday comes the annual physical. This year there’s added drama. I have a new family physician. Dr. Hagg, I swear to God, still has pimples. Earned his license in 1993 AND he’s a strawberry blonde. As [...]

Now that the fervor has subsided and we can actually look at what was said in context of history, we know deep down that Reverend Wright spoke for many of us.

What if I’m actually the good and the rest of the world is bad? Would it be wrong for me to homeschool my children, move to a secluded location and raise them according to my values? That seems to be happening all over the country. Many of us have found that living off the grid, [...]
