A Political Season : 2012: Obama vs. Romney To Turn on the Debates

Wed, 18 Jul 2012 20:04:45 +0000

Romney has advantage of being in 20 or so debates recently as part of the GOP primaries. He was much better in the final few debates ... that should help him when he goes up against Obama.

I haven't been following the Australian Open as much this year as I usually do. Thanx for providing us with this update!

A Political Season : Happy New Year!

Tue, 3 Jan 2012 06:29:35 +0000

Happy New Year to you as well Aaron! Any chance that we may seem some blog posts in this year from the other half of the Aaron & Alaine combination? That said -- I have your blog as one of my RSS-feeds on my Google Reader so I'm alerted whenever you do post. I enjoy reading your perspective on all things geo-political and GOP! Take care, Villager

A Political Season : Tavis and Cornell Have One Thing Right...Black People Can & Should Criticize Obama

Fri, 9 Sep 2011 12:27:10 +0000

I don't have the same discussions with other Black folks. Black folks (in my experience) don't have an issue criticizing President Obama about a wide range of issues including the wars and the economy. However, they are able to do so without being disrespectful of the man or his office. Too often I see Obama's critics being disrespectful ... including Tavis and Cornel. Their level of disrespect turns me off to any positive aspects of their message.

A Political Season : Bachmann and Gingrich: Finally Cracking the Code That Will Let the GOP Communicate With Black Voters

Mon, 27 Jun 2011 17:56:55 +0000

I can always count on you for a provocative commentary on presidential politics. It is beyond my imaginzation to conceive of a world where the Black community gives any credibility to Michelle Bachmann or Newt Gingrich. Just can't imagine it... peace, Villager My recent post Sunday Inspirations: RIP Michael Jackson (1958-2009)

Womanist Musings : Tune in Tuesday: Lenny Kravitz Baby It Ain’t Over Till It’s Over

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 21:38:17 +0000

Happy TIT! Lenny is truly a genius. I wonder if this song's lyrics are related to his ill-fated relationship with the Cosby-show actress? I invite your blog readers to tune in on my thoughts about Norman Connors as we muse about our next 'starship'! peace, Villager

TransGriot : August 2009 Villager's Black Blog Rankings

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 20:05:35 +0000

I had a big smile on my face when I figured out that your blog cracked the Top Ten this month. I appreciate your consistent support of my efforts with these rankings. Any thoughts on how you've been able to move up the rankings over the past few months? peace, Villager

Womanist Musings : The Queen Of Mean

Sat, 1 Aug 2009 21:34:47 +0000

If the trolls spend time trashing you then you must be effective at sharing the truth as you see it. Just keep doing what you do. Many of us appreciate the way that you take time to speak truth and challenge our way of thinking in your blog posts. Don't let the foolish deter your vision for this blog... peace, Villager

TransGriot : Where's The Villager's July 2009 Black Blog Rankings?

It's nice to be wanted (smile)! I'll work on it today and have it up by tomorrow... peace, Villager

The Red Tie Project : The Red Tie Project

Fri, 31 Jul 2009 09:14:56 +0000

This is a great project. I've shared the 411 with the folks on the HIV/AIDS Awareness Groupsite. The Red Tie Project logo is also rocking on the sidebar of the Electronic Village...

Womanist Musings : Obama Naked With Unicorns (NSFW)

Fri, 31 Jul 2009 07:40:11 +0000

The artwork has shock value. However, I think it is disrespectul to paint our president in the nude as the artist is doing. I just don't see the same thing happening with Ronald Reagan or even John Kennedy. Why do folks think that they can take liberties with President Obama? peace, Villager

Womanist Musings : The Wedding Dance

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 22:43:39 +0000

That was a very creative and heart-felt wedding entrance. And some of the folks in that entrance looked as if they hadn't been on a dancefloor in a very looooong time ... so it was nice to see everyone of 'em joining in the fun for the bride and groom. The video brought a smile to my face as well. How cool it must be to have almost 2,000,000 folks viewing part of your wedding video! peace, Villager

Womanist Musings : Tune In Tuesday

Wed, 22 Jul 2009 19:48:15 +0000

This Tune in Tuesday meme idea is a good one. My entry to the meme revolved around The Dramatics and a song the released in 1977. Top Gun was a good movie. It's odd that you post this song on the same day that the Top Gun F-22 airplane is voted down by US Senate :) peace, Villager

Womanist Musings : My Apologies For My Ableism

Womanist Musings : Taking A Ride In A Vagina

Wed, 10 Jun 2009 14:23:43 +0000

Quite simply ... I'm scared of this bike tour vehicle. I think that I'll stick to those big double-decker busses. Of course, since I must admit to being a T-man ... when the bike can be built that looks like a nice pair of breasts ... well, I might crawl on that sucker! :)

TransGriot : Villager's June 2009 Black Blog Rankings

Tue, 9 Jun 2009 12:08:01 +0000

I think that you have the right idea. It would be very helpful if Black bloggers in the afrosphere would learn to promote one another. Any ideas on how we can do so? peace, Villager

The Wichita NAACP Blog : 25 Writers who've influenced my life...

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 22:44:47 +0000

I enjoyed reviewing your list. Not surprisingly, I have never heard of many (most?) of 'em! (smile). I think we had three in common ... Na'im Akbar, Alex Haley and Isaac Asimov. I'm just now realizing that I've heard many of the Sun Tzu teachings ... but, I don't think I've ever read his book. Need to check that out... Thanx for taking time to share this with us...

The Wichita NAACP Blog : The tortured waning of Social Consciousness...

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 19:31:28 +0000

I took time and reviewed the the people, places and events. It is a shame if our community isn't aware or knowledgeable of these things. It is an indictment on us as much as on them. We need to be better teachers of OURstory! peace, Villager
