Baseball 2011-Pedro Baez

Baseball 2011

Pedro Baez

The just concluded 2011 Major League Baseball season ended with a bang. The old worn out theory of if the New York Yankees aren’t in the Series it isn’t a Series went out the window.

The Texas Rangers (nee Washington Senators) battled the St. Louis Cardinals in what turns out to be seven memorable games. Game 6 which started off as a game of errors, turned into the best cliffhanger of all time. By the time all was said and done, the Cardinals… Continue

The Presidential Battle for the Latino Vote Will be Fierce

Earl Ofari Hutchinson

GOP leaders are again salivating at the thought that they can make like George W. Bush who got more than 40 percent of the Latino vote in the 2004 presidential election and snatch a significant number of supposedly frustrated, disenchanted Latino voters from the…

The Soul of New York-Piri Thomas, An Appreciation

The Soul of New York-Piri Thomas, An Appreciation

Pedro Baez

Piri Thomas perhaps more than anything symbolized what New York means to me. New York is the original melting pot. Where else in the 1950’s could you find a hodge podge of cultures, colors, ethnicities hanging out, playing stickball, singing doo wops on the corner, playing bongos in the park, dating girls who may not look like you?

That was the New York Piri wrote about. That’s the New York that I grew up… Continue

Cain’s Black Voter Fantasy

Earl Ofari Hutchinson

GOP Presidential Herman Cain again solemnly told a pack of pesky reporters in New Hampshire recently that he was absolutely confident that in a head to head match-up against President Obama that he could snatch a third of the black vote. The notion that he can get a big chunk of the black…

The Unthinkable: a Cain Versus Obama Match-Up

Earl Ofari Hutchinson

A month ago it was unthinkable. That is a head to head match-up between GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain and President Obama. It’s still unlikely, but Cain’s quick rise to the top of the GOP presidential candidate heap makes Cain versus Obama now at least thinkable. Cain certainly talks like he believes he can snatch the nomination from the…

President Obama Doesn’t Deserve the Knock from Wall Street Occupiers

Earl Ofari Hutchinson

The Wall Street occupiers withering knock at corporate and financial greed, manipulation and corruption is much deserved. Their knock at former President Bush and Congress for giving Wall Street financial houses the taxpayers open checkbook to bail them out with virtually no requirement that they in turn bail out distressed homeowners and…

Time to Stop being Mr. Nice Guy-Pedro Baez

Time to Stop being Mr. Nice Guy

Pedro Baez

In the movie “Kissinger and Nixon,” George Takei who plays Le Duc Tho, says about President Nixon that after the election he will “get tough.”

That is precisely what you need to do Mr. President. Take off the gloves and kick butt. The GOP seems to think they have you in such a way that he will submit to anything they say, like when an opponent giving up when wrestling icon Bruno Sammartino applied the “Italian Back…
