At this point, we all know that the Dede Scozzafava v. Doug Hoffman race in New York’s 23rd congressional district is a battle that might clear the way for Democrat candidate Bill Owens to take that seat. The Obama White House picked Republican Congressman John McHugh to be Secretary of the Army and open the [...]

I am such a homeboy and I get defensive when I think my Georgia homies are getting a raw deal. Of the other hand, when homies don’t have other homies watching their backs anything can happen. When Newt Gingrich became Speaker of the House, the situation was good for Georgia in my opinion (pork) like [...]
Matt Towery on GOP New Blood: Listen to Dude
Posted in politics, tagged albany, augusta, GOP, Newt Gingrich on May 1, 2009 | 7 Comments »
Former Newt Gingrich staffer Matt Towery, who heads the political firm Insider Advantage, has the “right” idea about what’s next for the Republicans. Notice I did not say “conservatives” because some mild conservatives might find a comfortable home inside the Democrat Party if the Blue Dogs continue to growth. If the White House initiatives actually [...]

Posted in politics, tagged Newt Gingrich, Obama, Paul ryan on March 10, 2009 | 6 Comments »
When Newt Gingrich and company produced the Contract with America in 1994, they had a plan for the direction and function of government.

While joining the national honor society in college, the most studious member of the organization made us memorize what seemed like an ancient Asian proverb. R.D.’s service to Albany State University as an administrator, a member of my honor society and a member of Omega did more to help young African Americans climbing the socioeconomic [...]

I can’t believe the GOP is taking about the redistribution of wealth and socialism—are you kidding me? I went to college in the early 80s after doing my best K through 12. While I am no Condi Rice, Barrack Obama or Hemingway, I did well at country county high and was disappointed to learn that [...]

Just because you can do it, does not mean you should. Why are the young men in my neighborhood riding around with stereo speakers in the grill of their cars and why do they play crude music at 11:49 on Sunday morning while passing my A.M.E. church in Sylvester, Georgia. Like Eddie Murphy said about [...]
