*Rihanna has missed another show on her Diamonds World Tour, this time passing up Monday night’s Houston performance due to an unidentified illness.

*Beyoncé certainly made a stir when she came out with “Bow Down” and now she’s about to send wigs flying with the remix. Last week the song debuted with mixed reviews, but most everyone was shocked.

*Various cities across the nation have made overnight commercial sensations out of those they’ve interviewed. But, the exploitation that was planned, resulted in the commercial success, thus dollars and cents for all of them so far. First, Antoine Dodson told us to “hide your kids,” then Sweet Brown didn’t “have time for that,” now we [...]
*Police all over the country could use a brush-up on their training. But unfortunately, that assessment is only made when someone has been killed or mistreated by police and then it’s kind of late for an apology and/or sensitivity training. In Houston, Texas, Saturday, officer Matt Marin fatally shot Brian Claunch, a mentally unstable wheelchair-bound [...]

*Why do we hear so much bad news from the classroom? When will these select teachers make the connection that the kids they are teaching are the reason they have a job?

*Here we go again! And before all of the controversy jumps off about black folks not paying tips, let it be known that this family tried to pay the tip … just not the posted tip the restaurant required.

*The school systems around the country have been bombarded with poor legislation, poor teachers, poor administration, and many are just plain poor.

*I called a friend the other day to wish him a Happy Birthday when we got on the subject of the same issue that has millions of people talking and protesting in the streets: Why has George Zimmerman not been locked up for killing Trayvon Martin?

*America’s education system is upside down. Daily we hear numerous stories of mayhem out of schools across the country on every level from kindergarten to high school.

*The residents of the District of Columbia’s Ward 8 are insane. Why else would they continue to vote for Marion Barry, Jr. who over-promises and under-delivers?
