The entertainer we most closely relate to Michael Jackson in terms of talent, influence and lack of childhood experience, is Sammy Davis Jr. Following our commentary are two video examples of the respect, admiration and love, the kinship between these two entertainment giants of overlapping generations.

Neither man was considered a likely candidate to become world famous; nor did it seem Davis or Jackson was destined to be successful in life at all. (more…)

Happy Birthday to America! Picnics, parties, barbecue dinners and fireworks displays abound as communities all across the nation celebrate what took place in Philadelphia in 1776 at the Continental Congress. (more…)

You may have read our article about U.S. Army officer Lt. Dan Choi.  As you may recall Dan Choi, a West Point graduate, fluent in Arabic who is also a combat veteran, refuses to lie about his sexual preference.  

 As a West Point cadet Dan Choi was trained to  forego cheating, lying and stealing. As a commissioned officer Dan Choi is sworn to practice integrity everyday. The powers that be in the Department of the Army, and the Pentagon have taken steps to court martial and dishonorably discharge Dan Choi for doing what he has sworn to do as an officer in the United States military.

On Tuesday, June 30, 2009 at 8 a.m., Lt. Dan Choi of the U.S. Army will stand trial for announcing: “I am gay.” (more…)

Happy Father’s Day to everyone who nurtures a child!

While some people are upset about a beauty queen scandal and others are upset over a former beauty queen’s non-scandal the bankers are doing what they do best. The financial institutions are preying on those who are unable to save themselves from their predatory banking practices.

We think the latest brouhaha over a couple of jokes told last week by late night comedian David Letterman is much ado about a whole lot of nothing.

Letterman told a joke about Alaska’s governor and her family; he told a specific bad joke about one of her female children. He made a joke about the governor’s appearance, too.

We agree his jokes were not funny. A couple of them were in bad taste. Unlike radio personality Don Imus, David Letterman does not have a history of making coarse, off color remarks about young girls.

Laurie Moran Working To Heal The Child

We recently met an interesting and sensitive lady named Laurie Moran. She modestly introduced herself as a music teacher. Laurie is so much more. She is a former rock and roll band member who now plays music to heal the broken souls of children and adults who have been the objects of addiction and abuse. Laurie Moran is  healer.

“There is a circle of love evident in the workshops…people are very present in telling and the healing takes place for them and for me.”~Laurie Moran
