The Obama Administration took a stand against FOX news yesterday. It was a bluff. NBC, ABC, CBS and CNN called his bluff and Obama folded. And when he folded, he did it like a spoiled child.

Some wonder why it gladdens others that America will not host the 2016 Olympic Games. It's not that citizens of other countries don't like us.

The idea that when government steps in to protect you from yourself is repugnant and oversteps its boundaries. This level of government intervention doesn't fit with support in individual's lives.

America was discovered and initially populated by colonialists. It's constitution was written by colonialists. In almost all the cases I can recall around the world colonialists were white, Christian, Western Europeans.

First though, we have to figure out who the rich are. Well, that's easily defined. Anyone with more money than you have.

Blackface, when it is used to ridicule or denigrate is certainly racist in my view. However, if it is used in other ways, it is not.

But I'm not really sure yet - its complicated. The word is that his version of the obamacare bill is going to allow states to opt out. The little weasel is taking this approach to offset resistance in Nevada so he can get re-elected.

The short answer is I'm not sure. For me, it depends on several things about which I am completely ignorant. Nevertheless, I have an opinion or two.

The "Reverend" Al Sharpton is not a quick study. You would think that after the Tawana Brawley and The Duke LaCrosse incidents he would have learned to practice a modicum of restraint. You might think that, but you'd be wrong.

Let's get two things straight here: first, the expression to call a spade a spade is thousands of years old and etymologically has nothing whatsoever to do with any racial sentiment.

President Obama took time off from his busy schedule to lend his weight to Chicago's bid for the 2016 Olympic Games. And fell flat on his face.
