BLACK GENIUS: James Baldwin

Born and raised in Harlem, James Baldwin is one of the most influential writers in 20th Century American literature.  Known for his keen talent in writing imagery and willingness to push the borders of social commentary, Baldwin was a pioneer for black and queer literature, and their intersections. **So, can we note that during this time where Prop 8 is stripping people of rights, largely based on the fear of “gay literature in our childrens’ curriculums,” that would include Mr. Baldwin as w

The LeBron James Media Circus

LeBron James We're at the Izod Center in New Jersey tonight for the absolute media insanity that surrounds LeBron James and his Cleveland Cavaliers. Seriously, players should be warned multiple times before signing with, being drafted by, or being traded to a team that has LeBron. There were easily 40 members of the media surrounding LeBron [...] Related posts:Sonny Vaccaro: “You Don’t Get To Mount Rushmore From Cleveland”Cavs Owner Rips Media Over LeBron Free Agency RumorsI Don’t Believe LeBron

The 2010 LeBron James Brooklyn Watch Continues

It appears that the Nets who want to relocate to Brooklyn, are not the only ones stacking chips and clearing the decks to reel in the best player in the game.  LeBron James. “The Nets were once considered the odds-on favorite to get LeBron James, possibly the game’s most transcending player. He is a close friend to the rapper Jay-Z, a part-owner of the Nets. But the team’s planned move to Brooklyn is at a standstill, which could significantly lessen the chances of James becoming a Net. That is

What’s Up With Joe Biden’s Senate Seat ?

MSNBC’s First Read speculates that there may be a nepotism play going on with Joe Biden’s Delaware Senate seat: With President-elect Obama having resigned his Senate seat yesterday, folks may be wondering about what Vice President-elect Biden might do. Biden told a local TV station right before Election Day he didn’t want to resign his seat right away, leading to speculation about whether he is trying to deny the outgoing governor of Delaware — Democrat Ruth Ann Minner — the chance to appoint

Shoe Czar: Lebron Will be a Knick

Those of you familiar with Sonny Vaccaro don’t need me to explain his deal. He might have more influence on the game of basketball than David Stern and the NCAA combined. Vaccaro gave his thoughts on the Lebron James situation to the NY Times. “LeBron is this generation’s personality,” said Vaccaro, not one to shy away from hyperbole. “Even though Cleveland has done everything right, you don’t get to Mount Rushmore from Cleveland. He has to go to New York or Los Angeles. There’s no question.

The Fundamentals

Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports:  “For now, Cuban is threatening to become one more cautionary tale of greed and carelessness in the NBA. He’s probably lost his chance to buy the Chicago Cubs. And unless he’s cleared, he’s lost his moral authority on a lot of issues. He’s been a strident, but important voice for the NBA. Even when you didn’t agree, the league has always been better for his challenges of conventional wisdom. Yet today, we are back to this: For a league whose black players ar

Knicks, Nets Preparing To Lure LeBron James In 2010

LeBron James is coming to New Jersey on Tuesday, and if the Nets are primping themselves for a courtship, they are running a bit late. Next week, James and the Cavaliers visit New York and the Knicks. They are also a possible suitor when James potentially headlines a star-studded free-agent class in the summer of 2010. But much like the Nets, the Knicks also face barricades in landing James. Although much can change in a fluid market, and handicapping possible situations nearly two years away

New York Suitors Prepare for James

The NY Times By Jonathan Abrams A "former shoe executive" predicts that NBA superstar LeBron James won't sign with the Nets as long as they're still from Joisey: The Nets were once considered the odds-on favorite to get James, possibly the game’s most transcending player. He is a close friend to the rapper Jay-Z, a part-owner of the Nets. But the team’s planned move to Brooklyn is at a standstill, which could significantly lessen the chances of James becoming a Net.

Of all the powers of the presidency, the veto is among the most potent

The veto — Latin for “I forbid” — was not always such an expansive tool of presidential power. Early presidents used it sparingly, only when they believed Congress had violated the Constitution.  Violated the Constitution?  Hmmm…I wonder how many times our recent government has violated the Constitution? Or maybe, the Democrats and Republicans don’t even know that the Constitution even exists Bill Clinton would be the first president to use the line item veto. But in 1998, the Supreme Court de

Game Notes: Blazers at Hornets

by Aggrey Sam Pre-game – No GreyTone on this one. We’ll be back at it soon enough. – Before I start, let me give a shout-out to my boys Shaun Dumas and Ryan DeRousselle from Xavier University of Louisiana for winning their homecoming game vs. Wiley College in OT this evening. Heard it was a good one, and I wish I could have been there, but I guess this one made up for it. – C.P. came into the game leading the League in dimes and steals, at just under 12 and a shade over three, respectively.

Ball Hog: Sports Mirror & New RP Five

Sports Mirror Check out Business Mirror’s sport section if you like fresh basketball write-ups. They got correspondents/contributors the do blog-type articles. Today, Mirror posted that Elasto Painters are getting fan’s attention. I very much agree on this. That’s expected, as the team plays fast (and hard), they are young (with equally young coaching staff) and they got exciting and explosive players. They got the “Gabe Mercado Combo”, silent shooter Tang, Jay-R Reyes (poor man’s Kerby) and R

CavsCast, Game #9: Cavs vs. Nuggets

Hot diggity-dog! The Cavs are on fiya! (learned that one from the urban dictionary) The Cavs are on a nice little winning streak, as they should be. After the New Orleans game, they had a pretty easy schedule and they've taken advantage of it. Tonight the Nuggets come into the "Q" with a bit of a different look. There's no Marcus Camby (only 3 true bigs). And there's no Allen Iverson. Coincidentally, they come into tonight's game on a 3 game win streak--granted they played Memphis, Charlotte an
