I have been wondering about this since 2004. Who are the black people that look to Don King for political advice?

This is not my joke but this was too funny not to let others know about it.

This morning, my favorite morning comedian, Huggy Lowdown ripped Republican candidate...

Last week, John Gibson actually called for white people to have more babies to fight off the onslaught of Hispanics in the country (Media Matters summary is below). This is a call to arms for white people to defend the homeland by having more unprotected sex.

There is also...

When Attorney General Alberto Gonzales testified before the Judiciary Committee on February 6th he said that the wiretapping program that had recently been leaked was "all that he (the President) has authorized." On March 1st, Gonzales then sent a letter clarifying that his remarks were confined only to that program...

Surely you remember the dust-up over Bill Clinton's portrait not showing his wedding ring prominently. Well, where is our current President's outward sign of eternal betrothal as he leers down at Katherine Harris?

I don't usually blog on behalf of clients of my consulting business (and I believe it is only ethical to let you know they are clients up front), but I thought I would make this exception since the issue of genocide is so important.

This Sunday in Washington, DC,...

As The American Prospect covers Al Gore, I still think his heroism during the Katrina crisis is evidence that Gore is the most passionate national Democrat out there right now -- speaking his mind, but also ACTING on his convictions. Whether he runs for President again or not, he...

So, let me get this straight:

The United Arab Emirates, a country with ties to the terrorists that bombed America on 9/11 and had been one of three countries in the world to recognize the Taliban regime would like to take over operations at six American ports through a corporate...

This is a real loss for science fiction geeks like me. My favorite books of hers are Parable of the Sower and Dawn.

Today, I was a guest on the nationally syndicated Bill Press radio show. Bill is out due to the sad death of his father and guest host Karel and I had at it for about 15 minutes. Karel was pretty worked up about the disciplined Republican spin machine...

After Katrina: What the President Needs to Say to African Americans in His State of The Union

The Democratic Point of View

By Jamal Simmons, Special to AOL Black Voices

When asked to describe George W. Bush's attitude toward African Americans...

This morning on Fox News Sunday, New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson said "Governors should lead the Democratic Party." He used the election of Tim Kaine in Virginia where he won among women and suburbanites and African Americans and Latinos by campaigning on issues they care about and talking directly about...

It is getting hard to keep track of all the investigations of Republican political figures. Republican Majority Leader Bill Frist is under investigation for financial improprieties. Former (?) Republican leader Tom Delay is under indictment for criminal conspiracy and money laundering. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove...

Today, the Democrats in the United States Senate stood up for the American people. Americans have been intentionally deceived by the Bush Administration regarding the rationale for war. We know that the American people were given bad information. Now we know that they also engaged in operations to stifle debate....

The first time I met Rosa Parks was at a luncheon in the spring of 1988. We posed for a group photo after she handed me a certificate commemorating the scholarship I had been awarded from the foundation established by The Detroit News and the Detroit Public Schools in her...

I am sure many of the readers here are tiring of this debate, but I feel I have to respond to David Sirota here. Please skip to another blog if you must.

David, the central points of my blog are that we can disagree with our leaders and...

I am not sure why I should feel like I am taking an unpopular stand by stating in a crowd full of progressives that I AM A CLINTONISTA.

I love Bill Clinton. I think he was a strong leader for our party, but more importantly our nation. He was...

The conservative criticism of Harriet Miers as being unqualified for the job should remind most observers of the liberal and legal community criticism of Clarence Thomas in 1991 as being unqualified after less than two years as a judge. Before Miers, Thomas was the least qualified person to ascend to...

Lt. Governor Tim Kaine, Democratic candidate for Virginia Governor got attacked this week for his opposition to the death penalty. I am not sure what the campaign plans, but I hope they hit back hard and soon!

I am sure they could use more money for whatever response they come...

This morning Matt Lauer interviewed President Bush on NBC's Today Show and gave him little room to exploit the photo op of the Habitat for Humanity set they were standing on. Instead of a softball interview about volunteerism, Matt asked the President about Democratic criticism of unfair and unusual...
