As a Black man I refuse to apologize for saying that it is pure "EVIL" for Conservatives to pimp the White parent who jumped on stage in "Blackface" four years ago so they can attack Tom Hanks and Obama NOW.

YET, they've remained SILENT over the racist… Read full post »

"Kennedy was a special kind of human excrement"
-Andrew Breitbart on Twitter, hours after Ted Kennedy's death.

By now you know that Andrew Breitbart died today. 

To get more information on the details of his legacy you can check out this Huffington Post piece. What many people don't realize is… Read full post »

One of things that continues to irk me since Obama was elected has been the Conservative rush to declare “Mission Accomplished” and  that we’ve reached the "nirvana nervosa" of "colorblindness" and "postracialism." In other words, that race no longer matters. If that&rsquo/… Read full post »

As a Jesuit trained Catholic, I'm appalled at the willingness of Rick SATANorum to convert the sin, "THOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS" into a virtue when it comes to lying about Obama and portraying him in a false and negative light.

But then again, this type of sociopathic… Read full post »

I'm one of "those people" Herman Cain and some well known Conservatives have maligned as not "really" being Black. In other words, my mother's White and my father's Black. But my dad, who's 83 years old, was also born and raised in Lynchburg Va. during the height of segregation. And the… Read full post »

YES HE DID!!! As the New York Times reports, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi finally resigned.    It's time to celebrate with our Italian Brother and Sisters  and cheer the demise of a man who described himself as "the most prosecuted man there has ever been in… Read full post »

As some of you know, in addition to being a Black/African American and biracial identified, I'm also what's called nowadays, "Obama Black." That means my mama White and my daddy Black. That… Read full post »

As I said recently on the Huffington Post, I admit to being sickened by seeing so many of the same people commenting on HP who now support Herman Cain also say some of the most racist and hateful things about Black people and Obama. The hypocrisy couldn't… Read full post »

The political consultant, Bob Shrum, has offered probably the best analysis of his entire career in this piece. It addresses key issues of political and electoral power and how Democrats,… Read full post »

I'd like to propose a little "contest" on OS for coming up with some catchy nicknames for Rick Perry, as well as Texas, and some slogans that capture what he and the far right stand for. Please feel free to leave them here and ideas for how we can best vote… Read full post »

In case you haven't heard, Gov. "Slick Rick" Perry served in the Air force for 5 years in the 1970s and retired a Captain. He dishonored that privilege both during his speech announcing his candidacy and last night on a soapbox in Iowa, alleging the military doesn't respect Obama… Read full post »

"So we've went from the DEATH OF THE BIRTHERS to the BIRTH OF THE DEATHERS.

DEATHERS refuse to believe that OBAMA GOT OSAMA!

HEY DEATHERS, BE GRATEFUL NOT HATEFUL that the Prez got Bin Laden.

Your hate and ingratitude are UNAMERICAN!"

If anyone has a Huffington Post account, Facebook… Read full post »

This is Priceless. Ex-Democratic Congressman, Alan Grayson's zinger about why Bush decided not to go to Ground Zero with Obama is fall on the floor funny. Must see.

This skit by Jimmy Fallon imitating Trump taking credit for Bin Laden's death is Priceless. LOL

This morning I was provided the gift of a "mortifying disclosure."

It came by way of one "Marilyn Lee" and h/her disclosure on my OS blog, specifically in the form of a comment on my article: "Obama to Trump: 'MAHALO CHUMP. YOU JUST GOT THUMPED!'" http://open.salon.com/blog/ronrobinson/2011/05/01/ob… Read full post »

A couple of days after producing his own Birth Certificate, President Obama produced the Death Certificate of Osama Bin Laden - you know, the guy the Republicans helped create in the 1980s, and that Bush could only fantasize getting "dead or alive."

 According to all reports, OUR… Read full post »

Thought y'all would get a kick out my satire on a likely Faux News Headline. Now THAT would be a mortifying disclosure.

This ought to put a smile on your face, and God knows we need some smiles. If we're to overcome the onslaught of narcissistic sociopathy, exemplified by the ebony and ivory of Donald Trump and Tea Party favorites, Allen West and Herman Cain, and the rest of… Read full post »

I know that many progressives have  misgivings about Obama,  considering him to be  too centrist for their tastes. But he delivered an "in your face Paul Ryan/Ayn Rand/Eric Cantor" speech today that strongly challenged the Right's sociopathic vision for the country in a way I've not se… Read full post »
