Pee If You Name B Man

I don’t know where (in Jamaica?) this photo was taken but it really sums up the Jamaican attitude towards the subject of homosexuality and sexual identity. In quite a humorous way too!

The ingenious person, whether they are bartender or just homeowner with a yard that probably doubles up as a bar, was probably fed up [...]

Chopping Down Bush

No matter how hard he tries history will not remember George W. Bush favourably. Not when a succession of former White House press secretaries keep writing scathing memoirs which chops down the illusion of him being a successful president.
The latest whistle blower (it would be so unfair to call him a traitor!) is Scott McClellan [...]

Jamaica Resist Gay Pressure, Again…

Every few years the issue of homosexuality and Jamaica’s attitude towards it is brought under scrutiny by international gay rights groups.
They are always incensed that this ungodly act is still illegal in the little island paradise, so they try their best to get Jamaican politicians to bend over backwards to repeal its sodomy laws. All [...]

Thousands Call For Trotta’s Sacking

A huge groundswell of online support has erupted calling for the removal of Fox News contributor Liz Trotta following her live, on-air remarks that US Presidential candidate Barack Obama should be assassinated.
On the program Trotta apparently endorsed Hilary Clinton’s hint that front runner Barack Obama could be assassinated by saying: “And now we have what [...]

Fox News Befriends Obama Death Call?

Hilary Clinton’s apparent suggestion on the possibility of Barack Obama being assassinated is fuelling wider thoughts on the issue and support for the idea.
Hilary dismissed calls to drop out of the US Democrat presidential nomination race, despite having no hope of defeating front runner Obama by hinting she is still in the running because Obama [...]

Hilary Clinton Wants Barack Obama Dead!

Even for Hilary Clinton, this is lower than the pits. In her blind ambition to become US president (or even vice president) she will stop at nothing to get there. This includes lying, misleading, deceiving. But now you can add murdering to that list!
We now know the real reason why she has not dropped yet [...]

Shielding The Guilty

Even when I was shielded from punishment by a strong and protective granny, I knew that the action other adults (my aunties usually), wanted to punish me for was wrong. Sometimes I only did the naughty things only because I knew I had immunity from prosecution, so to speak! And this is how the spiral [...]

Doing The Write Thing!

There are times when I am incapable of writing about particular subjects. It’s not that I don’t have any idea: it’s usually more the case I’ve got too many for that particular topic.
Usually when I get in that frame of mind I don’t write because writing comes naturally to me and when I sit down [...]

Are You For Real, Man? (Part 2)

Yesterday I responded to a friend’s question on what I thought a ‘real man‘ was. This is the 2nd part to that response…
By the same token a real man does not belittle the importance of roles and duties in a relationship. He does not have a problem doing housework, cleaning, cooking, shopping, looking after the [...]

Are You For Real, Man? (Part 1)

Today, a friend asked what my definition of a ‘real man’ is. This is my response to that question. It could get a bit deep, but here goes…
First I have to explain what I mean by ‘real’ and also what I mean by the word ‘man’ because these days people have a different idea [...]
