Dear New York Legislators, I hope your holiday season is going well, and all your families are doing well also.

Today, I am offering you all one New Year’s Resolution that maybe you can achieve together, and that is to help pass the “Healthy Workplace Bill” and set a National Precedence on Human Rights and Human Dignity.

THE BUTLER Screening
Will Forest Whitaker cop another Oscar? Will Director Lee Daniels cop his first Oscar? Will the screenwriter cop his first Oscar?
Editor’s Note: The original headline stating that THE BUTLER was opening August 9 was an OBVIOUS error.

From the July 16 Anderson Cooper CNN 360 show: Criminal defense attorney Mark Geragos, who was not part of Zimmerman’s legal team, said “race determines everything in the criminal justice system.” “Nobody thinks of themselves as a racist, and I’m not accusing anybody of being a racist. What I’m saying is race is the prism through which people see things,” Geragos said.

The House Republicans introduced a bill last night, The Spending Reduction Act of 2012, that would negatively impact the American people in several ways.
I’ve been spending so much time “studying” facebook that I’ve neglected this blog. That’s all about to change even though the first few steps can be measured in picas.
I might go to the inauguration in January.
