by C. A. Jude Stewart 100 years ago this Sunday, life ended abruptly & tragically for Harry Widener. You don’t know Harry, like I know (of) Harry. He loved books, as I do. Graduated from Harvard (1907), 7 decades prior to my post-graduate studies (history & humanities) there in Cambridge. I love Harvard, now celebrating its 376th year. My 36 graduate credits (1985-86) were achieved …

Holy Week in the Secular World
by C. A. Jude Stewart I got this big-azz Bananarama Bush blooming in my backyard. Previous owner said he left it to me as a gift, which was nice of him to do, since I’m still waitin’ on my 1st banana. Being a devout, God-fearin’ Catholic Yankee gardener new to the soil-rich ways of Deep …

Speaking Out: What a Leader should be
by Jacqueline Miles It’s amazing how we have lost track of words like integrity, honesty, morals and respect. Have we become so desperate for the things of this world that we are willing to sell our souls for a few morsels of money, recognition and stature? When we stoop so low as to lie on …

Palin’ Around with Lunatics Runnin’ the Asylum
By C. A. Jude Stewart It is no small irony that HBO’s “Game Change” hit the airwaves in the same week as Florida’s elephantine radio bloviator RushMouth apologized (because of an advertisers’ revolt) to a woman he called slut & prostitute. Based on the best-selling 2010 book, “GC” examines the Republican Party’s late summer ’08 …

Blacks Nab 4 Oscars, but Deserved More
by C. A. Jude Stewart Two weeks ago, “The Help” didn’t get all the help (Oscar votes) it needed to win the big enchilada (best picture). And as Fats Domino (& Dave Bartholemew) sang in their No. 1 hit single for Imperial Records (recorded in N’awlins, LA) in 1955, “Ain’t that A Shame.” Why? “The …

Romney’s “Free Enterprise System”: As Statist as Stalin’s Five-Year Plan
By Kevin Carson The rule of centralized state and bureaucratic machines is one of those things that the cultural reproduction apparatus teaches people to accept as “natural” or “inevitable” (“it must be more efficient, or it wouldn’t be this way;” “the people in charge make these rules for a reason”). But in fact it is …

The Gantt Report: Political Tricks on Black Voters
By Lucius Gantt Divide and conquer is one of the oldest tricks in the political book! Do you think it is by design or coincidence when a Black political incumbent has a white opponent that another African American inevitably jumps into the race? Oftentimes, I think it is by design! As I look at …

One Fallen Star, One Refreshed Heavenly Choir
by C. A. Jude Stewart Well, a shooting star in the black cultural firmament is gone. She’s another in a long line of elite black musical talents who perished prematurely because of her demons within. Strangely, Whitney’s “sudden” death at 5:55 pm Pensacola time (last Saturday 2/11) was — like a lethal hurricane gathering Gulf …
