It is my understanding that the White House and subsequently Congress’ hands are proverbially “tied” with regards to cleanup issues concerning this oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. […]
Read more "Uppity Negro News Briefs"I remember sometime in college hearing the phrase “No homo” and it was a friend who was at Hampton University at the time, and I just took it as an East Coast term that I was no doubt sure to hear in the near future. And I was right, the phrase “No homo” has made […]
Read more "Pausing: The Homo-ness of “No Homo”"Hey, it’s a hot topic so I’m still writing about it. I know my cousin back in Chicago is probably tired of me writing about it, but hey, it’s what I do, I still love ya @ellafay!

Read more "Is the Experiment of Capitalism Over?"So busy really isn’t the word that I would use to say just how much work has been on my plate. I think the better word is preoccupied.

Cleophus LaRue, Ph.D. in the book What’s the Matter with Preaching Today? edited by Mike Graves.
