The US economy: Lessons from the last caliphate
The U.S. Postal Service is a mess, drowning in debt and nearly done in like Hosni Mubarak by social media. One of its own plans to rescue itself calls for the elimination of 220,000 jobs, which is like shoving the entire population of Reno, Nevada, into a job market already overfull and desperate. Little wonder the country waits so eagerly for President Obama’s jobs plan. Except that what ails u
Uncommon alliances: Muslim and Jew, left and right
In October, the Dutch Senate will consider the ban on ritual slaughter enacted by the parliament’s lower house in June 2011. Self-described as “an institution that pays little heed to ideas which happen to be fashionable at the time,” the Senate has no one party that holds a majority. It will therefore be interesting to see whether it is able to protect religious freedom or succumb to the pressure
Sharing Ramadan: Breaking bread (not signs) in Murfreesboro
The voice of a young Middle Eastern man echoed through the room as he sounded the call to prayer amidst a crackling microphone; the time to break the Ramadan fast had arrived. Water and fresh dates are offered to the primarily non-Muslim crowd and the Iftar dinner is served. While the Muslim hosts are busying themselves setting the buffet tables for the ensuing feast, I find myself noticing that
Poll analysis: Taking stock of Muslims in America
Last year, during a raging controversy over the building of an Islamic centre in Lower Manhattan, Time Magazine ran a cover story titled, "Is America Islamophobic?" Shortly thereafter, a poll released by Time showed nearly six in ten Americans held an unfavorable view of Muslims. A Gallup poll released the same year revealed four in ten Americans admitting to “feeling at least ‘a little’ prejudice
CAP report on Islamophobia: Fighting the defamation of Muslim Americans
After a six-month-long investigative research project, the Center for American Progress Action Fund released a 138-page report, Fear Inc., Exposing the Islamophobia Network in America, which for the first time reveals that more than $42 million from seven foundations over the past decade have helped empower a relatively small, interconnected and incestuous group of individuals and organizations to
2011 Gallup Poll: American Muslims most tolerant in America
A superficial study of the media coverage in the past two years conveys a misleading picture about the state of American Muslims and their relationship with the rest of the nation. The terrible attack on Fort Hood by Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the attempted June 2010 bombing of Times Square, the shrill rhetoric and legislative activism of the anti-sharia brigade, and the incessant targeting of Islam

Barely Alive
BARELY ALIVEI'm officially back in major depression at the moment. Severe clinical depression. Yes, a flare-up of my lifelong problem, and part of being bipolar, combined with severe panic disorders, anxiety disorders, and a mild degree of agoraphobia. We'll hope the current bout of overwhelming pain, triggered by certain events, is a passing trend.But right now I'm highly dysfunctional

I'm still intending to get back to blogging Real Soon Now. Trying to work on the depression and forming new habits to get back in the blogging groove. Miss y'all! Read more posts at A

Race, Heritage, & Reality
Back in 2009, I wrote a post about race & self-identification and how being Black & X is treated differently than any other form of being multiracial. (The comments were special & filled with wank from someone determined to insist that being multiracial in America is just one overarching experience.) At the time I was specifically discussing being Black & White, but really that wh
On Consent, Sex Positivity, & Cultures of Color after Colonization
I wrote this last night while we were talking about this NSFW picture on Tumblr and all the cultural connotations imbedded in the idea of the knowing sexually available black woman teaching the young white man. We got off into sex positivity, the racially specific messages about sex that WOC often get inside their communities as well as what is projected on them from the outside and what all of t
What Price A Black Girl’s Life?
A thing I’m noticing in pop culture is this idea that black women can’t be traumatized by anything that happens to them. Usually when a female character is sexually assaulted/kidnapped/abused it works to make the audience sympathetic to that character. We certainly see that trope enough in books/movies/TV shows with white characters. In fact such traumatic moments are often used to “redeem” bad g
A PSA From A Loud Angry Black Woman
I am past the point where I have any patience for people telling me how I should feel about how black women are presented in the media. Especially people who have never walked a moment, much less a mile in the shoes of black women in America. And before someone decides to break out the face paint & do a documentary? Let me tell you right now that a day or a week or even a month in makeup won’

Choices Made Since 9/11/01
I’m sorry for the people who died on 9/11. I’m sorry we were told to shop after 9/11 and that many of us chose to consume beyond our means. I’m sorry that some of the financial firms in Manhattan chose to cheat people and to rip people off. I’m sorry we sometimes used 9/11 to scapegoat Muslims and torture people. I’m sorry we used 9/11 to start wars based on lies, kill civilians, and then treat o
Rick Perry Skips Scheduled Wildfire News Conference—Texas Progressive Alliance Round-Up
Here is the most recent Texas Progressive Alliance round-up. The TPA is a confederation of the best political bloggers in Texas. TPA membrs are citizen-bloggers who are working everyday for a better Texas. With the round-up this week is news that Texas Governor Rick Perry did not show up at a scheduled news conference to address the Texas wildfires. This despite the fact that Mr. Perry had been ab
Cincinnati Casino Construction Site Is Pit Of Sin—Finished Product Will Be Den Of Sin
This pit of sin is the casino under construction on the outskirts of Downtown Cincinnati. I took this picture earlier this week. This will be the first casino in Cincinnati. This casino is a perfect addition to Cincinnati in a time when the only growth industries in our nation appear to be copper theft and selling stolen goods on online auction sites. I’m sorry that voters authorized this casino.
Does This Picture Convey The Fact That The Air Smells Of Smoke?
I’m out and about in Houston. The air smells of smoke from the wildfires that are not far from Harris County. I took this picture a few minutes ago of the setting sun in the hazy sky. Does this picture convey air that smells of smoke? No matter if it does or does not— The air does indeed smell of smoke.
Giant Burrito Takes Precedence Over Commentary On The Big Issues Of The Day
I’m certain that I was going to make a post this afternoon about the big issues of the day. But then I got caught up in eating the giant burrito you see in the picture. And now I have to get on my with my day. I take a picture of very meal I eat in case I am someday recalled in the yet-to-be constructed blogger wing of the Smithsonian. They might want to know about my every moment. No. Really I
At Least Rick Perry Has The Candor To Revel In Our Death Culture
From last night’s Republican debate— “When co-moderator Brian Williams of NBC noted the 234 executions that took place in Texas on the watch of Gov. Rick Perry, the current frontrunner in the GOP presidential contest, the crowd assembled in the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, California, roared its approval. Asked if he ever lost sleep worrying that one of those executed might have been innocent, P

Warning: Perfect storm conditions now in place for Big Government to allow (or even stage) terrorism attacks in America
Saturday, September 10, 2011 by Mike Adams http://www.naturalnews.com This is an urgent message that departs from the usual health freedom focus of NaturalNews. I apologize in advance for NaturalNews readers who do not wish to read about these issues, as they can be uncomfortable for some who prefer to simply not know about this.

Out of Fashion
I am delighted that Gulnara Karimova has been kicked out of New York fashion week. The world of super wealth and glamour has no conscience, but it does have brands to protect. It seems that it is the stark truths about Gulnara in some of the leaked Wikileaks US diplomatic cables of Jon Purnell that have finally put a bump in her career of schmoozing with the A-list. Strangely, my statcounter sho
Vanessa Redgrave
The Guardian has an interview with Vanessa Redgrave. She is truly noble. Not necessarily always right – nobody is – but always kind, giving and helpful. You can’t ask more from anybody. When I whistleblew on UK complicity in torture, I was smeared, falsely accused, sacked and my self worth and physical health were both destroyed. I was given by doctors a maximum of three years to live. I was
Reasons to be Cheerful no. 103
This in no way detracts from the duplicity and illegality involved in NATO’s intervention in the Libyan Civil War, but I am cheered by the thought that NATO’s attempt to co-opt, absorb and neutralise the “Arab spring” is not going as swimmingly as they hoped. The release of the damning documents on MI6 and CIA involvement with Gadaffi is one hopeful sign: the major anti-Israeli demonstration in C
Bliar: How Much Death Can One Man Want?
I presume that serial killers become addicted. The really big killers, like Hitler, Stalin or Pol Pot appear figures divorced from humanity. I really do find it hard to know what to make of Tony Blair. Universally execrated for fabricating the evidence to attack Iraq, apostle of war everywhere, Israel’s most ardent supporter, I used to think the desire for personal wealth – which his murderous
