Has the Church Lost It’s Mind: Bishop Thomas Weeks’ Reality Show; Gospel Today Removed from bookstore stands

Has the church lost it’s mind or am I just going crazy. It was reported today in the AJC that Gospel Today, a magazine was pulled from the shelves today. Well, I saw it on the news and I was trying to figure out why. “Smiling women on the cover of a slick magazine. Sold […]

UNN Guest Post: Why Paying Kids to Perform Well in School is a Dumb Idea

Here’s another guest post in which I can rest, kick my feet back relax and not rack my brain for a few days and focus on frigging CHURCH HISTORY **pulling hair out just thinking about it** on my Saturday mornings. So here’s Uppity Friend and her latest installment. So I guess you know already know […]

Calling It What It Is: Naming the Monster of White Privilege

This is prolly going to be a long post. Well, only because of the insert I’m adding, in full, so just letting you know. I had to really be careful that this blog didn’t turn into an all out hate site against Sarah “I’m going to ride this till the wheels fall off” Palin because […]

UNN to Sarah ‘Plain and Tall’ Palin: Seek IMMEDIATE Treatment for WWS

I really don’t have much to say, but first let it be known, I don’t like Sarah “I’m entitled to the presidency” Palin. Real talk, I just need to vent on this one. I don’t have deep analysis on this one, but that interview just rubbed me the ENTIRE wrong way. I mean, aside from […]

In Defense of The Church: The Need for a Public Theologian

I wrote back in April or something about “In Defense of the Black Church: America’s Chicken’s Are Coming Home to Roost” borrowing from the phrase made even more popular from Jeremiah Wright’s rousing sermon following the 9/11 attacks on the previous Tuesday. As I watched CNN do the story digging into Sarah “I’m still picking which […]

They Got The Word! I’ll Be At The Great Coronation

Hmmm, round about January 3rd, at about 10 o’clock Central Time, I did hear a symphony. It wasn’t the same symphony that Keith Olbermann was talking about following Sen. Barack “I Shoot Threes Only” Obama acceptance speech, but it was from the same man nonetheless. I’ve already written how much that speech sent me over […]

What The Hell? MSNBC Demotion of Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews

For those of you who have been consistent readers, you all know I don’t have internet in my dorm room. Arrrgh. And I don’t have MSNBC. Arrrrrgh. Well, it seems as though the two main champions of liberalism from MSNBC named Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews have been demoted from anchor positions during special coverage […]

Damn Right! The Obama’s Are Uppity Negroes

Well, I just got word of this. First of all, yes, uppity is a racial term and for U.S. Rep. Lynn Westmoreland from rural Coweta County in Georgia and I really don’t buy the argument that he’s never heard it as such. The man was born in 1950 in Atlanta, Georgia. I’m quite sure that […]

What We’re Up Against: FoxNews, Fool Fest 2008 Media Award

We wrestle not against flesh and blood but agains powers and principalities and rulers or darkness in high places. That is a scripture from Ephesians 6:12 and I think it’s apropos given the turn that this election has taken. A little while back on July 28th, 2008 actor Jon Voight wrote a very incendiary and […]

UNN Breaking News: The Search for Palin’s Baby Daddy Continues

This is the story that brought me out of hiding. Before I get to the meat of this story, let me just update my readers. First I realized not posting everyday reall leads to a significant drop in readership, or else it just means that a lot of my consistent readers live in Louisiana and […]
