This is a good sign for my nieghborhood. On one side, we have yuppies (both black and white) pressing the crack corner liquor store near their homes, and the mosque applying appropriate pressure to the cracky liquor store literally in their front yard.
I’m not totally against having liquor stores in the neighborhood, of course, [...]

Every once in a while, I see an ad for this contraceptive patch one can wear for three weeks. It affixes to ones skin and provides the same protection as “the pill” without having to remember anything.
But here’s what gets me. Have you ever worn a band aid for several days, and seen how nasty, [...]

So my dog’s a flip out kinda babe. Pour a little thunderstorm into the mix, and she’s a gonzo freak.
Tonight, I put her in the yard with her food and commenced to sautee duty. My Thai chicken sausage was nearing completion when my wife announced, “Sweety, you’ll never guess who’s coming [...]

For anyone who cares, the crazy North Carolinian tobacco farmer on the tractor surrendered to police this afternoon. He sat on his tractor in that pond for 3 days. I think there are some interesting logistical questions here.

The dirt, scarcity, and the emptiness
Of our South
The injustice of our greed
The practice we inherit
The dirt, scarcity and the emptiness
Of our South

A NC tobacco farmer is currently sitting on his tractor in the middle of the pond in Constitution Gardens, between the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial, protesting something and shutting down governments offices and jamming up rush hour.
