Charlie Sheen Isn't Funny Anymore. He's Mental.

At what point does the media stop laughing at Charlie Sheen and begin to seriously address the obvious: He's mentally unbalanced and in need of help RIGHT NOW. He very well will hurt himself, one of the porn chicks he calls family, or worse yet, his innocent kids.

Ted Williams Cuts Short His 15 Minutes

Since he's abused drugs and alcohol for years, should anyone be surpirsed that on the road to his sudden fame and lightweight fortune, Ted Williams has effectively fallen on his own sword and stepped on his schlong?

Touch My "Junk" And I'll Miss My Flight!

... when 31-year-old John Tyner told a Transportation Security Agent at the San Diego airport "If you touch my junk, I'll have you arrested" I had to read that again between laughs.

President & Dems Must Buck Up After Nov. 2 "Shellacking"

If you think the shellacking President Obama and his fellow Democrats took from voters -- and to the delight of the GOP and Tea Party revisionist fanatics -- last week was the black guy's problem and that of misguided liberal and progressive politicians, you've got another think coming.

Next Chicago Mayor A Glutton For Punishment

Attention all wanna-be Chicago CEOs: Now that Mayor Daley has ignited a political earthquake with his decision to not run for re-election, here is a piece of unsolicited advice from a guy born and bred in the Windy City.

Blacks Suffer When Blacks Hurt Blacks

Spike Lee's still-relevant film "Do The Right Thing" immediately comes to mind whenever I stop and shudder at the mindless gun violence that's gripping Chicago these days. Three Chicago police officers killed in the past few months. Dozens of folks, usually on the South, West, Southwest and Southeast sides shot and killed every weekend. And the beat goes on.

Bad As Obama, Oil And Anger

All the criticism in the world isn't going to make President Obama have a conniption fit on cue and on camera to show just how angry he is at BP and the oil spill that they own.

Can We Get Thomas Wortham's Dad To Talk To Brian Floyd's Mom?

Not to be mean - ok, the hell with being PC, I am trying to be mean - but pick and modify your own saying to describe the attitude of Lucille Floyd, whose son Brian died along with Chicago Police officer Tom Wortham IV in a violent shootout. Brian and three of his friends tried to steal the officer's motorcycle before killing him - in front of his father - and being shot at by Wortham's dad.

Blame Cops For Crime Waves? Nope, Blame Us

Don't exclusively blame the cops for escalating crime and crime waves. Blame the folks who commit it.

It's Time To Fry Tiger's Chickenheads

Now that freaky Tiger Woods is about to start playing golf again, former porn star Josyln James is pressing her case to make sure the world knows what kind of man he really is. She says he's fooling the rest of us; that we should know what kind of wild, mean, selfish sex nut he is. The guy he impregnated her twice. Apparently she won't stop until Tiger is as humiliated as she says she has been. I say, we don't give a s%$# that this chickenhead is all hurt and bothered.

E-Mail Scammers Beware Of The Scammed

No matter how freaking high I set my spam filter or add virus and spam software, those ingenious folks overseas who send out the phishing e-mails trying to scam money out of unsuspecting folks always seem to break through. The solicitations just won't stop, and I'm on the verge of hurting somebody. Two times.

No Sex 'Cause You're Too Sleepy?

Thirty-three percent of blacks, 38% of Hispanics, 28% of whites and 25% of Asians are kept awake by financial, employment, personal relationship or health related concerns. That's what happens when your bills are so damn big that they should be called "Williams."

Calm Down Bears Fans ... Let Peppers Play First

Julius Peppers is now a Chicago Bear; actually, the best--paid in the team's history. But for you screaming, salivating diehard Bears fans who've already declared we're going to win the Super Bowl in a freakin' blow out, here's a word of advice: Shut your pie hole. Calm down. Breathe. And think.

Let's Get Ready To Rumble: Walmart & Preachers Vs. The Unions

        Wouldn't it be entertaining, to say the least, to be...

"Family Guy" Crack On Palin's Kid Not So Funny

Several days ago, I wrote about Sarah Palin not being qualified to be president. I said she wasn't qualified enough, educated enough, worldly enough, and so on ... that the idea of having your neighbor who you can relate led this country was ridiculous.

An Old School Journalist Accepts A New Media World

With one foot firmly planted in the old school media space and the other squarely situated in the new media way of communicating and interacting, when it comes to remaining stuck in the past or embracing what's new and constantly changing, I'm as conflicted as President Clinton at a sorority rush.

Run Palin Out of Town With Her "Revolution"

Do you REALLY want a soccer mom with an undergraduate journalism degree to become the leader of the free world? Do you REALLY want someone who you can probably beat in a number of subjects and activities to decide whether the United States decides to bomb another country?

Obama The Sheep Wins In The Lions' Den

The face-to-face meeting - actually it was a confrontation ... just without the fists - at the Republican retreat in Baltimore was a prime example of how a sheep can invade the lions den and come out victorious - if the sheep plays its cards right.

Haiti Needs Cruise Ships and Their Passengers

Well, this is exactly NOT the time to reduce or withdraw money and resources from Haiti - even if you're a tourist. They need everything, and in addition to the 80 pallets of supplies ships are bringing in, they're also dropping off passengers can spend money and tip and leave food, clothing and other essentials behind for the natives.

Call Him Black, Negro Or Light Skinned ... Just Call Him Leader

If you believe two polished, experienced public speakers misspoke and simply couldn't find the words to express themselves, then you're dumb and obtuse. Both said what they believed and in the way they believe it ... with a bit of drama and hyperbole and anachronistic attitudes tossed in. But what they said was real - to them.

Feds Don't Connect The Terrorist Dots

Unless you have a machete or an AK-47, if I see you trying to start a fire in your seat, I'm gonna break my neck to get to you and try to beat the living crap out of you.

Texters Likely To Ignore New Law

Is there any chance at all that this new, common-sense law that is designed to stop so-called distracted driving will stop anybody from doing what has become natural for thousands of us?

Chicago Would Eat Hard-Core Bill O'Reilly For Lunch

For as much as O'Reilly mercilessly lambastes anyone who has an opposing opinion, he has the nerve to get upset when a TV show takes a swing at him?

Tiger's Drama And Trauma No Longer Funny

Tiger Woods is not a pimp, player or a hoe slayer, as my brother-in-law would say. It actually looks like the weight of being the world's top athlete finally is more than he can bear.

Tiger Woods Really Is Human

Excuse me if I'm not stunned and mortified and shocked and awed and angry and insert other adjectives and adverbs of your choice.

Tiger, Tiger, Liar ... Pants On Fire

If Tiger Woods has convinced himself that most, if not all, of his fans believe his version of the traffic mishap at his palatial home, then I have a set of golf clubs in my basement that I want to sell him - clubs that will shave a few points off his handicap.

Decency is Apolitical, Doncha think?

But the notion of restoring a high level of decency to mankind, and fostering a renewed notion of kindness, respect, consideration, lawfulness and a host of other feel-good adjectives is one that isn't lost on non-Republicans like me ....

Michael Scott's Death and The Death of Disbelief in Suicide

By and large, many African Americans believe that our race simply doesn't commit suicide. That, of course, is not true.
