This weekend tragedy struck Jennifer Hudson’s family in the most unimaginable way and the news hasn’t gotten any better with new and more disturbing developments today.

Tuesday night, Hillary Clinton took center stage at the Dem Convention and gave an absolutely incredible speech.

After the VP speculation reached a fever-pitch level over the past week, Sen. Barack Obama’s choice for Vice President has finally been made. Obama chose Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware to be his running mate and I couldn’t be more ecstatic. Joe Biden is a foreign policy expert, he has done amazing work in the [...]
Man there are two things I try to avoid this site from becoming: a crime report and an obituary…but I had to make another post sharing the news that soul legend Isaac Hayes has passed away at the age of 65 (Click here for more info). Just Friday I was watching “I’m Gonna Git You [...]
