Coaching my daughter Sasha’s basketball team is one of those times when I just get to be “Dad.” I snag rebounds, run drills, and have a little fun. More importantly, I get to watch Sasha and her teammates improve together, start thinking like a team, and develop self-confidence.

Any parent knows there are few things more fulfilling than watching your child discover a passion for something. And as a parent, you’ll…

In an apparent off the cuff remark, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan gushed that he thought it was a “cool thing” that an African-American was president. But Ryan’s rapture with President Obama didn’t last past the first sentence. In the next breath…

The legion of web sites, bloggers, talk show jocks, and the occasional GOP official that has teed off on President Obama and at times Michelle Obama with assorted borderline racist digs, taunts, and depictions  have been relentless. The offensive remarks quickly evoke a storm of outrage, and the offender gets rebuked. This happens because they are…

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg publicly demanded that President Obama and GOP presidential rival Mitt Romney tell where they stand on new and tougher gun control laws in light of the Colorado Theater massacre. Bloomberg wasn’t alone in the demand. A bevy of mostly Democratic politicians quickly joined in the chorus and also…

Attorney General Eric Holder hang tough and ignore Florida Senator Marco Rubio and the soon to be drumbeat of other Republicans sniffing your blood that will call for your resignation. He’s done nothing wrong.  He has turned over thousands of documents to the political witch hunting chair of the…

The GOP always saw Holder as the weak link in the Obama administration; the one appointee who had potentially…

The vote on the gay marriage ban in North Carolina’s Halifax County drew some national ink. The County in Northeast part of the state is mostly rural and majority black. It backed the state’s anti-gay marriage initiative by a whopping two to one majority. The anti-gay marriage vote there was taken as a jittery sign that some blacks out of…

A hanging effigy that looked suspiciously like President Obama on a flatbed truck in New York City  and the sign on the Peach Oyster Bar in Unincorporated Draketown, Georgia “I do not support the N… in the White House” normally could be chalked off as the by now pro forma crackpot bigotry of the…

There was never much doubt that if the Supreme Court ever got a chance to decide the constitutionality of the health care reform law that it would be in for rough sledding from the court’s five conservatives. The half week of court questioning on the law more than bore out that dire…

The tweet from the White House on the Trayvon Martin slaying was much briefer than even the brief number of words allowed by twitter and essentially said that there was nothing to say. White House press secretary Jay Carney was even more emphatic when asked whether the President had any comment to make on…
