The Return Of Tavis Smiley’s Negro Bowl?!?
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010Well, that was quick! LOL! I just wrote here that The Negro Bowl was over, and now it’s back—kinda. More like a remix, I guess! LOL!
I think I got the story straight: Tavis is mad that civil rights leaders visited the White House and asked for nothing. Not only that, but [...]

Farewell, Negro Bowl
Friday, January 8th, 2010Under all of the topics I’ve happily listed under “love to hate,” I must admit that Tavis Smiley’s “State of the Black Union” was at the very top. I am more upset than I thought I’d be with Smiley’s announcement a couple of days back that he is not continuing these annual forums. I think [...]
Doctor Who: Four Knocks, And 10 Becomes 11
Friday, January 8th, 2010And now, this:
The tearjerker point of “The End of Time” for me was Rose telling him it was time for him to go—before she ever met him! Allons-y, indeed! Yes, the two-parter suffered from the usual Russell T. Davies over-the-topness. Really, the whole story was just filling time for the last 20 minutes. And what [...]
Happy 115th Birthday, Mr. Segar!

Okay, I Admit It…….
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009I’m looking forward to either reading this or reading about this.
And then there’s this.
NOV. 13th UPDATE: See what I’m talking about? Man, she’s great copy…..
Happy 75th, Amiri Baraka!

A Note On (Online) Book Reviewing
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009The bruhaha about online book reviewing, etc. made me think about stating my policy here. And so:
I take the MSM line all the way. Which is:
I’m a journalist who likes to review books. I’ve done so for a national newspaper wire service, national magazines and online (including this blog. ) Because of that, I’m on [...]
