Oblogservations: Life in the Key of Stupid

Okay, what’s in the headlines today? Well, let’s see. Jumpin’ Jehosaphats: There is the idiot woman who was asked to leave a McDonalds because she claimed that the kangaroo, (yes, a fuckin’ kangaroo) she had with her, wrapped in a blanket and riding in an infant car seat, was her “s

Smithfield and Ava Gardner

I felt weak kneed and silly this summer the first time I drove into the Smithfield cemetery and walked toward Ava Gardner’s grave at her family site. I felt the same the second time I did it recently. I said, “We’ve got to quit meeting like this,” and I left with my psyche barely intact

Ferguson and Sea Island, two sides of the same coin

Why do we care what happens in Ferguson, Missouri? Because on some level we recognize that if any one group or community can be officially deprived of their human and civil rights without restraint, then it can happen to any other group or neighborhood. Sea Island, Georgia is proof. Sea Islan

Settlement against for-profit college firm is good for nation

Every now and then a big-time civil settlement makes sense and is good for our country. Recently the government brought suit against Education Management Corporation, based in Pittsburgh, Pa., which operated several for-profit colleges. The government maintained that the company was violating

In North Carolina, school resegregation by charter?

North Carolina could soon see a dramatic increase in the number of charter schools, with as many as 150 of the public-private hybrids opening across the state next year. But new research from Duke University suggests the charter school boom will result in greater racial imbalance in the state's p

Learning to Swim: And to Fly

Last week at a fast food restaurant, I overheard a helicopter mom declaring that she would only allow her child to swim in a swimming pool. She felt it was extremely dangerous for children to get into water where they couldn’t see the bottom and irresponsible for a parent to even entertain such id

Occupy Wall Street and News Media

The Occupy Wall Street movement may prove to be a test of the news media, not unlike the protest movement of the 1960’s tested the media then. The difference is that in the 60’s, “the media” was really just three network evening newscasts and newspapers. Most people might say the big differe

Tea teed

Former Colorado Republican Rep. Tom Tancredo kicked off this weekend's first-ever National Tea Party Convention in Nashville, Tennessee, by attacking the president as that "committed socialist ideologue ... Barack Hussein Obama." But most of the conventioneers were waiting to hear Sarah Louise P

The Last Hurrah

OK, excellent outcome. Not a mandate, but clearly a rebuke to Republicans’ misguided belief that hate and division can again pass for vision. Their pundits employed “selection bias,” the phenomenon where you pick the information that suits your argument (Karl Rove, Peggy Newnan, Rasmussen Poll

Mission Accomplished

ATLANTA -- Today, President Obama announced to the National Convention of Disabled Veterans of America that he is keeping one of his campaign promises – America’s longest war will be unofficially* over on August 31, 2010. Twenty years and eight months since our Middle East invasion. More than 4,

How Stupid Are They?

[caption id="attachment_9063" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Suggested reading: CNN"][/caption] Words cannot adequately describe my disgust. Apparently the lunatics are running the Supreme asylum. Increasingly, I am led to believe that we are living in a world that is becoming so al

Darryl Rhoades Was Raised Better Than That

Twenty or more years can go by quickly. One loses touch with old friends. Spouses, children, work and other concerns demand attention. But now and then an opportunity presents itself to renew old acquaintances. So the news that Darryl Rhoades was planning a Hahavishnu Orchestra "Celebration" conce

Greg Oliver

You probably would not have known Greg Oliver by sight. But if you have listened to the radio, watched TV or have been through the airport, you know Greg. As you step on to the escalator to go to the trains, you heard Greg. It was his deep, authoritative voice that reminds you: “If you are

Walt Whitman, the sublime and the Bibb County Dump

All things seen are real, said Walt Whitman, and in that spirit three decades ago, the Academy of American Poets presented the annual Walt Whitman Award to the writer of a book-length collection of poems, Shooting Rats at the Bibb County Dump. Today, the author of that collection and its improbab

Fulfilling a Dream Deferred

She’s a striking figure at the head of the table – salt-and-pepper dreadlocks, square spectacles in front of her face, an oddly-shaped red charm caressing her neck. But it’s what Valerie Boyd has to say that has 11 students enraptured. She’s ready to take on the pressing questions her cla

The Thrill is Gone

When my cellphone rings, the opening notes of The Thrill is Gone signal me. I will have to consider changing that now. The author and singer of that song has moved on to Rock and Roll Heaven. B. B. King died in his sleep Thursday after nearly a year in hospice. I can’t imagine anyone was surpr

Blue Granite

When I was a boy back home one thing that caught my eye was a pile of crushed blue granite, kindly deposited by the highway department along the shoulder of the road. Cone-shaped, the critical angle of repose at work, the pile of blue-white stones glittered like diamonds. I’d get a bag and load up

Blood on His Hands

He knew this day would come. He told us he was prepared for it. That he wouldn’t hesitate. This man who has spent his entire adult life in service. Who helped the downtrodden. Picked up the dispirited. Protect the rights and life of all. Didn’t. Whether the decision was active or passive, it w
