Recently, I had an opportunity to speak with Cynthia McKinney, and I asked her about leadership. She replied that at the local level in the Black communities, there is leadership.

‘Good riddance, you dog’
December 15, 2008
Standing next to his puppet, Maliki, George actually had the gall to say that the invasion and occupation of Iraq were “hard, but necessary.” I am surprised he wasn’t deluged with shoes.
