All Matters of Dopeness (Musings and Comedy in Erie's World)

I have several thoughts about why President Obama needs to remain the President of these United States. Many of them are hinged on the fact that as Collin Powell stated when endorsing Obama on CBS news: America came up from a downspiraling nose dive thanks to the leadership of President Obama. The truth is Obama was given a &*^&* job and told to turn everything around when he stepped in the office. Once he started he was met with nothing but opposition and attack. He was met with extreme racism, degradation, and hatred and yet he..."brushed his shoulders off". Four years later he is still brushing off the hate and the bigotry. He is still holding his head up and responding like a responsible leader. In addition to his great leadership, over the four years I have watched our President fight for health care for those of us who would be bankrupt from medical expenses, bail out business, give back stimulus money to jump start our economy again and deal with foreign ...

Why Women Cheat…According to Men What’s good for the gander is good for the goose, right? That is what people say, and I suppose people can say that in regards to relationships and cheating.

In general, I barely watch television but when I have an opportunity I love a throw back black sitcom--hands down. I especially like "Living Single" and watch it as much as I can...well, at least when I have access to cable. The show is the joint! I mean, you have four sisters and a couple of good brothers just doing life together. They kick it hard; they have each other's backs and have a great time simply living life. (It's like the black version of "Friends". Actually "Friends" is the white version of "Living Single" when we think about what came out first.) What is significant to me is the bond that the women have. Even the theme song says that they are "true blue and tight like glue". That is how it should be, so with this in mind (as well as a few other things) I have concluded that something is a little bit off in how we as women treat our sisterhood nowadays. Sometimes it seems as if we have forgotten how to gen...
