"In one moment our children's lives were changed. Throughout the campaign, we carried them to the stumps to hear then candidate OBAMA and shared with them aloud that one day our worlds would somehow connect. Well it has and the WASHINGTON POST's follow up story shows HADIYA holding the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATE's Hand (Sameera beside her) and our son MOSIAH hanging out in the OVAL OFFICE. SPEAK LIFE and GRAND DREAMS to your children and yourself and watch GOD have them come to pass! Thank you MR. PRESIDENT"

There is no other way to say it, "Witch Hunt" sums up the 4 plus year campaign to under mind and destroy History in the making, that being: the first "all-African-American Female" heads of City Government in

As a child I honestly believed that pirates had a patch over one eye, a hook for a hand, and uttered "ARRRG!" every few breathes, I wasn't real clear as to why any of this was the case, but I was convinced nevertheless. After the last few weeks of media infused depictions and reporting, I am stunned that the visual which held me captive for so many years has been refreshed with a slender AKA 47 yielding Somalian! My gosh, with out the gun, it looks like I could've "taken" one of those guys with a quick jab to the throat and spin lick to the GUT!! Strangely, the GUN made them look a lot tougher and the vass water made it all the more frightening. Yet what really startled me, was that this has been an ongoing issue on the sea and we "land-lubbers" are just getting a glimpse of the genuine horror of the life of a merchant seaman! Now, I find it hard to say "ARRG!" or "ahoy-there-Mate-es, walk -the-plank" Contrast, I spent the weekend with a group of visitors from London who were victims of the media as well. The genius if David Simon has reached the UK in the form of "The WIRE" and now we have to hit the "refresh" button again! This enchanting pair of sisters whose dominant intention was to gain a crash course in all things HOOD and Baltimore were slightly bewildered as they drove through beautiful CHARM CITY. Sure it has a festering sickness which has lingered since of the return of our servicemen from the Vietnam War in the guise of heroine addiction and an open air market liken to none other, so vividly depicted on HBO! The biggest shock for these civic minded media hostages was THE WIRE failed to show the clean streets, colossal Roland Park, Guilford, and Homeland community homes, the lovely tree-lined neighborhoods of Sequoia, Hanley Park, Northwood, Bolton Hill, Midtown, Mt Vernon, Mt. Washington, and The Alameda! Neither had it shown in full spectrum the gentrified East Harbor with it's specialty shops. organic market and high end condominiums. Before I knew it, I had to go in SEARCH of the microcosm that is "THE WIRE" and it was sickening , once there, all stomachs dropped! What is that? How is it possible that Charm City's polarities are so pronounced that it leaves you feeling "PUNK'd?" I am no idealist, but I smell a set up, a disparity so great that it'll make you turn to sleuthing to satisfy the gap between what you see and what you know! Or maybe someone needs to be held hostage until we can get results that level the playing field in the form of true drug rehabilitation and education as well as a city-wide sensibilty that sees the bastard child of Baltimore in the same lense as ANNIE and consciously commands the role of Daddy Warbucks!!!

Since our President landed in the White House, the market has plummeted, family's have lost their homes and AIG has awarded 165 million dollars in bonuses! What is going on? Are we all getting "punked"? Somewhere between "Yes We Can" and " Oh no they didn't" this country has been turned upside down and nobody seems to be outraged! I mean really angry at the mess that didn't begin on President Obama's watch, but has been brewing for all of GWB's years in the White House. AIG or as I like to refer to them, ALL IGNORANT GANGSTA's has shown this country that the CLUB is truly exclusive and plans to stay that way. The only justification for the outrageous gross display of entitlement and greed, rest in knowing, the retention bonuses were approved in 2007. Blah...Blah...Blah. That's like saying, "The only reason why I keep eating is because the food just shows up!" I am so over these moronic hypocrites and capitalistic cat burglers. Where's SHAFT when you really need him to get rid of the bad guys? The only redemptive thing that GWB seems to have left in the White House is the BOWLING ALLEY! I'm rooting for the underdog in this game and he has a great jumper shot!! GO TEAM OBAMA!!
