So This Guy With The Romney Tattoo On His Face …

Eric Hartsburg and his Romney face tattoo

As much as I loved and supported Barack Obama during both of his campaigns, I did not stick any of the bumper stickers on my car. Not because I was skeptical that he will win, but because (1) I don’t like bumper stickers. I like reading them, as long as they are not on my car and (2) How long am I expected to carry an election bumper sticker? But wait till I tell you about this guy. He’s 30 {Read More}

Another Big Man Has Fallen Because Of A Woman

They traveled extensively while she was writing his biography

I don’t know if it’s fair to say that from the time of Adam and Eve, men have fallen because of women, but I will say it anyway. Granted, men – Adam included – should know better. By now, I’m sure you have all heard about the “disgraced General” who cheated on his wife of 38 years with a woman who is married with two kids. Yes, General David Petraeus. What is it that will compel a man of such {Read More}

Your First Lady Is Back. And You Are Celebrating Because …???

Look! It's Super Woman!!

I hear your first lady, Dame Patience, is back from her two month disappearance. They say she was in Germany. I did not bother blogging about her disappearance because I figured, what’s the big deal about the first lady of Nigeria disappearing?  We once had a missing president (Yar’Adua), so this is definitely a fly on the wall. In retrospect, I wish I had blogged about it. So many missed opportunities to crack jokes on her. But she’s back now. {Read More}

If There Was A Hole, Paul Ryan Would Have Crawled Into It

This was the look on his face 95% of the time. Okay, maybe 94%

Did you watch the Vice Presidential debate last night? Lord have mercy. Paul Ryan of the republican party took a beating, and it was not cute. You know the look you have on your face when someone has just told it to you? No comeback. No smart comment. Only you and the silence. Do you know what that face looks like? Wait, I took a screen shot on my phone. While Joe Biden did not say it exactly, his actions {Read More}

Holy Cow … It Does Exist!

Presidential Office At Aso Rock

For as far back as I can remember, I have always known that the Nigerian presidential villa is called Aso Rock. Problem is, I have never known anything else about it. What does it look like? What color is it? How big is it? What street is it on? Mba. Nothing. As far as the inside is concerned, I was sure that I’d have an easier time laying an egg. At a point, I started thinking it may not even {Read More}

My President

Although I am not a politics person at all, I have been following – best as I can – the events of this election season, just like I did four years ago when I was fired up for Obama. I still am. Some days ago, it was the Republican National Convention where Mitt Romney officially accepted his nomination to be the republican nominee. And yesterday, President Barack Obama accepted his. I rushed home from my Zumba class because I could {Read More}

That Awkward Moment When Everyone Finds Out That The President Is Absolutely Endowed

I’m not even gonna write too much in this one. Yesterday, the web was buzzing with Vice President Biden’s revelation of President Obama’s big stick. It must have sounded good in his head before the words came out and chewing them back up was not an option. It’s only a 25-second video. Watch it after the cut.
