RE Ray Rice: When Is It Okay For A Man To Hit A Woman?

I have been following this story for a while and hesitated to blog about it, but now I think I should. Ray Rice, a Baltimore Ravens running back has been in the news recently for knocking his fiancee out cold and then dragging her and dropping her. It almost sounds like I'm talking about dragging and dropping a picture/document, but no, I'm talking about a person. Before I show you this "incriminating" video, let me first give you a summary of the situation as I have come to understand Read More

Lupita Nyong’o Won An Oscar, And I Couldn’t Be Prouder!

I watched the Oscars yesterday evening, and I was greatly inspired. Going into it, the people I wanted to win most were Chiwetel Ejiofor for Best Actor, Leading Role and Lupita Nyong'o for Best Supporting Actress. And naturally, I wanted 12 Years A Slave to win every category it was nominated in. The bad news is that Chiwetel didn't win, but the good news is that Lupita won, and so did 12 Years A Slave (in the Best Picture category). Lupita - as you can see from the picture - looked so Read More

I have blogged about many celebrity separations and divorces, but the separation between Robin Thicke and Paula Patton really, really, really hurt my feelings. I started blogging about it the day it happened, but I was so hurt that I couldn't even complete the post. When I thought about it some more, I even got a little teary-eyed. Seriously. It's not my marriage, and I have no idea why they separated, but it tugs at me. They have loved each other for twenty years. Two flippin' decades! Why stop Read More

Scandal Season 3, Episode 11: Ride, Sally, Ride

The show started with chaos: Sally is running for President! Everyone was running up and down the place trying to understand the impact of Sally's decision to run. And I'm wondering how and why Sally decided to run, considering what Cyrus has on her: she murdered her husband. Olivia: She was kissing Fitz in the Oval Office, all in the name at doing work when Mellie walked in, caught them kissing, and just acted like she ain't seen jack. It doesn't stop being awkward. Sally: Her campaign Read More

My Entire Thoughts About The Anti-Gay Bill In Arizona

The State of Arizona has a new bill that the Governor (Jan Brewer) may or may not sign. If she signs it, it will become law that businesses can basically refuse service based on sexual orientation. If she vetos it, it won't be law. But if she does nothing, it will become law anyway. Decisions, decisions. When Igwe and I first talked about this, my immediate answer was to veto the bill. But then, yesterday, I began to think about it again. Last week, I was helping a coworker who is a Read More
