Moving On to New Thingsnew
I hate moving! If I had to make a list of my least desirable things to do, moving would be just above being held hostage in a Cambodian prison camp and getting a prostate exam from a blind doctor.

The Media Fix Is Innew
As I’ve been penning my column and watching this city’s growth, I’ve thought more often about the real responsibility of the fourth estate. Why does it exist? What are we, the public, supposed to get from media?

Recalling Mr. Franklinnew
I have often wondered why God has blessed me to see other parts of the world, why I’ve been able to perform in front of tens of thousands of dedicated hip-hop fans in Prague or Accra only to return to mountains of bills and personal problems.

Hogan Doesn't Know Bestnew
Hulk Hogan and his family are the celebrities who think they're better than us, who think they are above the law and consequences facing normal people. We fans saw your true arrogance through conversations that you knew would be taped. You're only now getting what you deserve.

Stop Bragging, Americanew
America is arrogant. But before you right-wingnuts paint me with the "anti-American" brush, observe a more practical scenario.

Prom Nightnew
Morgan Freeman and film crews were met with opposition when he decided to fund and document Charleston High School's first integrated prom. The idea of separate proms in this day and age is ridiculous. In fact, as a proud Mississippian, it's embarrassing.

Better yet, do you know what they're plotting behind those closed bedroom doors, between cell phone texts and emails on MySpace or Facebook?

Let the Chickens Roostnew
Now is a good a time as any to exorcise the prejudices on both sides. The question is: Who will have the grapefruits to do it first?

Grammy Rehabnew
We find it hard to put our own selfish desire to be entertained over someone's personal well-being. In a sense we all need to go to rehab.

Et Tu, Bill?new
Dear Bill Clinton,
I didn’t go so far as a lot of folks did in declaring you the county’s first “black” president, but you were damn close. That’s why I’m hurt that you have become so vicious, so “un-sportsmanlike” in your demeanor in recent days. You appear rattled. Why the venom?

Not So Sweet Sixteennew
I have seen one of the reasons kids today have a skewed view of things. I've looked it right in its eyes, and I now know the enemy: the MTV series My Super Sweet Sixteen.

Blame It On Hip-Hop ... Againnew
It's embarrassingly easy to blame hip-hop or a "street" mentality for today's "urban holocaust." But do you really think these events are happening because black kids are listening to Soulja Boy? Hell no! It's simple: M-O-N-E-Y and the lack of it.
