In the wee hours of the morning, I lie awake and punish myself with a litany of what I call "wince trauma." Small, stupid things I've said or done that, even years later, make me cringe. There is no statute of limitations. I have accumulated my share.

Yes...yes, indeed.

And still... I rise.

These bootleg networks continue to sink low in their quest for content. Lately, I've seen ads for reality tv series featuring victims of tourette syndrome and love between wheelchair-bound dwarfs. If they need l content, I can help 'em with real stories. This s**t they're pushing ain't cool. At all.

The fact that this...this...man would nominate Herschel Walker, a man who famously couldn't spell cat if you spotted him the "c" and the "t", to be the next ambassador to the Bahamas is deeply insulting to the Bahamian people.

It’s 1968. You’re 13. Your family is moving from an interracial Chicago suburb to racially-polarized Memphis. Dr. King has just been assassinated and the nation is embroiled in war, social change and shifting paradigms. What could possibly go wrong?
