In November, Barack Obama became the first black man to win the White House.
Now, another historic milestone for the black community: The first black animated family on prime-time television.
Martin Luther King Jr. would be proud. Or maybe not.
There is really nothing very exciting to report. I was sick for three days and missed some work. I only got in four workouts – two with Trevor and two cardio workouts. Eating went OK. I haven’t been on the scale, but feel better and hope mid-month measurements this week will show some progress.
Never really liked the guy, but then again I've never met him. From what I've read he was fiscally irresponsible with Perkins tax dollars - but I'm the kind of guy who won't go shooting because I don't want to pay for the ammo - so paying beaucoup dollars for training ammunition really ticks me
When I moved out of New York City and needed a car for daily transportation, I decided to do the responsible thing: And so the Ford Escape Hybrid entered my life.

Ever noticed how often city officials answer basic accountability questions with "I don't know?"
The Erie County Health Department just released the first stats from their beach testing program. The program's purpose is to track the amount of e-coli on the Erie County lakeshore.
Notice the numbers for the Sandusky test sites of Lions Park and Battery Park:
