Practice What You Preach

If somebody asked me today why I was against the Bush Administration, I’d probably say “Because of the hypocrisy”. Bush is against gay rights but the VP’s daughter is a lesbian. He’s all for troops in Iraq, but has he ever fought a battle? And he’s totally anti-abortion, but if he got preggers, would he [...]

Palin vs. Zuma

By Unathi Kondile

Cape Town – Um! I’d like to apologize, in advance, to all fans of Sarah Palin and Jacob Zuma.

In South Africa we have a fella by the name of Jacob “bring-me-my-machine-gun” Zuma. See, our standing South African president was recently ousted, so Zuma now heads the ruling party, but is not currently [...]

“The Haters National Convention” – by Orlando Campbell

Fighting the Internet Rumor Mill

The Washington Post told the story last week of Finlanday, Ohio – a small town where voters have based their visions of Barack Obama on mostly untrue rumors flying around the internet. The Post describes how many residents have been given two very different images of the Senator. They hear of him on the news and [...]

Let’s not do this again…

Over the past few days, some on the left have begun questioning John McCain’s service in the Vietnam War. There were, of course, retired general Wesley Clark’s comments on Face the Nation, and there have also been rumblings about it on left-leaning blogs.

Gay Marriage: Day One

On Monday Youth Radio’s Caitlin Grey, Rynesha Snowden, and Tone Kapone went down to the Alameda County Clerk-Recorder’s Office to watch some people get hitched.

Tim Russert

As you have all probably heard, “Meet the Press” host and NBC’s Washington bureau chief, died this afternooon. For a young journalist trying to learn how to become a better reporter, Russert was one of the best models I had – a constantly fair and straight-forward interviewer and moderator, he will certainly be missed. Russert [...]
