I am part of a generation that stands on the shoulders of giants from the modern civil rights movement. And now my generation is called to no less of an urgent state of affairs. The dream of our democracy -- advanced and protected by heroes past and present -- is still not yet achieved.
When I heard Strauss-Kahn's charges were being dismissed, all I could think of was a picture I saw in the paper last spring of a proud army of hotel maids in their grey uniforms gathered outside the courthouse where he was being arraigned, to at last make their voices heard.
Although, the quake caused minimal damage to person or property, it rattled many Americans, especially since the timing of its occurrence was so close to the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks.
What do yesterday's east coast earthquake, our infrastructure and antiquated Federal accounting systems have to do with jobs? A lot, it turns out.
They will get away with it, at least in this life. "They" are the Wall Street usurers, people of a sort condemned in Scripture, who have brought more misery to this nation than we have known since the Great Depression.
There's no magic formula to buying or cooking healthy foods on a budget. But if you think of the rewards -- better health and more money -- you'll find it's worth the effort.
There is a lot of time between now and the general election, and many things can change. But we are in very unusual times, and it wouldn't be out of the question for a serious third party candidate to hit our political system in 2012.
The typical response to drug use, of any kind, is to condemn the person who does it. All compassion is routinely discarded, and drug use is considered a moral failing.
The Revolution Will Be Jazz is certainly a noble homage to GIl Scott-Heron and his work. Mr. Ruffin should be proud of the results. With this album Mr. Gates has successfully ventured into new ground.
Capital punishment is incompatible with the Christian faith for a number of biblical and theological reasons.
The bus driver pointed to the rear and told me to go sit there. That was the moment I realized my mother did not sit on the back of the bus because she preferred to, but because she had no choice.
My mother-in-law is addicted to Fox News. Like many people in this country, she believes that Obama can't do anything right.
It's my...second divorce, I'm a two-time loser. To some of my girlfriends that makes me a winner. The mixed perception and reality that now I'm in the enviable position of starting over, from scratch, like a new cookie recipe. This scares and thrills them at the same time.
People like Marcellus Richard Andrews deserve to know how a Michele Bachmann presidency would impact their lives. They deserve to know why a leading candidate for president would say hateful things about them.
Al Sharpton's presence on MSNBC will hopefully open the door for black journalists to find access to the platforms that continue to evade them.
Chasing Madoff is a searing indictment of the fast-and-loose free-market attitude that nearly sank the world economy. I can't imagine how painful it would be to watch it, were I someone who had lost a fortune to Madoff's malfeasance.
Latinos believe Obama is speaking one way to them and in another fashion to the rest of America: breaking his promise of immigration reform, then blaming obstructionist Republicans for refusing to be his "dance partner"/
Owners in all of the major sports have shown an unwavering desire to make as much money as possible precisely by taking advantage of the fact that sports are not ordinary businesses.
We know we are operating at a sub-optimal level and we know we need more sleep to function better. But we still rarely prioritize sleep in our busy days.
It's one thing to joke about politics. It's quite another to turn our mostly ludicrous, but occasionally effective politics into one big joke.
Attacking LGBT people is not yet a third rail of politics. But it is clear that it is no longer the Holy Grail for electing Republicans that it once was in the not too distant past.
I witnessed the spectacular transformation of my father, Joseph Heller, as he started to become a celebrity and a charmless believer in his own schtick.
In my opinion, hummus is the new peanut butter. You can put it on anything to give it more flavor and substance -- crackers, sandwiches, veggies, chips etc.
There is an argument to be made that when candidates run solely for the sake of entertainment (their own entertainment or ours) they distract us from discussing the real issues that matter, with the candidates that will ultimately matter.
Liberals understand that Obama is not going to enact an economic policy by fiat; that something has to actually pass. But all this kowtowing to the need for a long term deficit fix has made the president look like he has been pre-rolled.
