Did you hear what I’m up to? No? You stopped paying attention? I figured as much. So I’m doing some super wacky conservative crap. I endorsed an amendment to Colorado’s constitution that will define life as beginning at conception. I also said I want it added to the U.S. Constitution.

You see, back when the Constitution was written, there were no abortions. If an unwanted pregnancy occurred, the father would completely abandon the woman and move to another town. The child would grow up a bastard, never to be given a fair shake and everyone was happy (except the single moms and bastard children).

I don’t think it’s a stretch to assume if the founding fathers were resurrected as half-dead zombies, the first thing they would do would be to pass this amendment. (The second thing, naturally, would be to eat our brains.)

If I get one more e-mail from a black person calling Hillary Clinton a bitch, I am going to scream. First of all, this election has confirmed for me that sexism is alive and well in the United States. The fact that so many people are comfortable circulating e-mails calling her a bitch in jest, seriousness, or both, is indicative of this issue. Sexism is so pervasive in this country that we do not even see it. For black people to use a pejorative term to describe a woman inside or outside of the community is deplorable. Funny. She and Bill used to be considered black by those with extremely low standards for conferring race upon people. Now, she's just a "bitch" from Arkansas. Hmm. That's mighty black of you. I guess that's part of her "blackness" since that term was used freely to describe female slaves by slave owners. Coupled with the fact that most of the e-mails have come from women, this is what I call a "WTF?" moment. While you are busy calling Hillary out of her name, you might want to check out her platform, which is the only one with any proposals that will benefit women. She has proposals about healthcare, daycare and women's rights. That "bitch" was the first person to confront female genital mutilation abroad, to demand that the U.S. intervene in Rwanda, and has played a major role in the Children's Defense Fund. You don't have to support her, but you don't have to denigrate her either. Think before you send.

Obama Tops New National Polls: The Clinton campaign has one new worry. Not only is Obama-mania showing no signs of slowing, but Democrat and Republican voters alike see him as the candidate with the most electablity. The latest USA Today/ Gallup poll asked Republicans which Democrat McCain would have a better chance of beating. The answer was Clinton 66 percent, Obama 18 percent. Obama thinks the answer is this: “It’s a choice between going into the general election with the Republicans already united against us, or running with a campaign that has already united Americans of all parties around the agenda for change. Now that’s the choice."

CIAA Plays Big Role in Stellar Documentary: Film maker Dan Klores directs and produces Black Magic a 4 hour documentary that will be viewed on Thursday, February 28 at Spirit Square’s McGlohon Theatre at 1 p.m. The film is a must see for any basketball fan. It not only showcases the talents of CIAA legends like Earl “The Pearl” Monroe, but also the struggles that the players and coaches had to endure to play a sport that many black men today take for granted.

It’s dead inside the Charlotte Bobcats Arena. It’s almost like being at a Charlotte Bobcats’ game. But it’s the Women’s portion of the CIAA tournament and ain’t nobody watching. Is it because no one cares about the women?

Possibly.

But these girls play hard. Even if Fayetteville State and St. Augustine’s had 84 turnovers in their game, they tried.

I never understood why people bought ticket books and didn’t go to all of the games. But that’s just me, I’m cheap as hell and I want to get my money’s worth. For the 3 p.m. women’s contest (Bowie State vs. Virginia Union), there had to be about 1,000 people inside the arena.

Not a good look party people. There is one thing I’ve noticed though, the people in the arena right now aren’t worried about what they’re wearing or how they look. I guess you don’t have to be when there’s no one around to see you. Sort of like that tree falling in the forest and no one being around.
