Ruth Briggs King wanted him to go somewhere. But it was kiboshed by: Only the GOP members of the Board of Elections could vote on […]
Song Of The Day 11/23: The Drifters, ‘Up On The Roof’
I retired from Trader Joe’s on Sunday. My right hip and my right leg made the decision for me. A fantastic 12-plus year run. The perfect post-career gig. Anyway, at least in part as a salute, they had on my fave satellite music station, ‘Mo-Soul’, during my shift. Nothing but soul and r & b […]

Darius Brown Blowed Himself Up Real Good. Maybe his latest sham employer will reconsider the job they handed to him–especially since they’re probably not getting any Grant-In-Aid $$’s as long as he’s there. Glad that Sen. Sokola is not muzzling the other senators, you know, the way that Pete ‘n Val tried to do when […]
