"A First-Rate, Second-Rate Man."

I do not know what more I can say about the mayor of Philadelphia. I am officially using up the English vocabulary to describe his pathetic, weak, vacillating, fear-mongering, coward-like, and bullying tactics in his feeble attempts to get what he wants, and not to benefit all Philadelphians. He has taxed and cut jobs and much needed resources in our city since the onset of his administration more that 2 years ago.

When history revisits this individual, I believe it will share my view of Mayor Michael Nutter which is he was a "first-rate, second-rate man."

“There's a Cure for HIV/AIDS and Philadelphians Didn't Get the Memo?”

HIV and AIDS are ravaging Philadelphia. The increase of HIV and AIDS among women, men, and adolescents is 5 times higher than the national average.

What the hell is going on?

Did you think that a cure for HIV and AIDS was discovered, so people could return to the sexual decadence of the 1960's and 1970's? Seriously, is there a cure for HIV and AIDS, but Philadelphians didn't get the memo? Of course not! When Philadelphians are contracting these infectious diseases with such regularity it appears poor judgment and a lack on intelligence have convinced many that HIV and AIDS was not as life-threatening today as it was in the 20th century.

HIV and AIDS are just as powerful in the 21st century as they were 25 years ago. Believe it! Parents, teachers, medical professionals, and elected officials must increase education and provide additional resources to the masses specifically in the impoverished communities about implementing a rigid regiment of abstinence and/or safe sex.

A moment of commentary-- In 2008, 24,570 Philadelphians tested positive for HIV/AIDS, and of those, 14,083 are living with AIDS and 10,488 are living with HIV. Just like the Swine Flu epidemic, we must sound the alarm loudly to inform the public that HIV and AIDS in Philadelphia is steadily increasing not decreasing. Increasing!

It is time to place HIV and AIDS back at the forefront of our conscience and in our sexual behaviors.

The “Party of Fools, Hypocrites and Fiscally Irresponsible."

Illegal immigration and the disastrous oil spill have taken center stage in America.

If we are going to have a "serious" conversation about these issues, we must disregard and distance ourselves from the insipid, idiotic, and narcissistic ideology of some citizens in the Republic.

To be candid, there is no Republican Party in America, period! The Republican Party died a long time ago. Individuals like Sara Palin, John McCain, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Michael Steele, Bill O'Reilly, and George Will are speaking on behalf of a new breed of political party in America--the "Party of Fools, Hypocrites and Fiscally Irresponsible."

To prove this theoretical perspective on the members of this new party, what clear, insightful and effective solutions have the Palins, Boehner’s, McCains, Cantors and their cohorts offered to address illegal immigration, attempted terrorist attacks, the oil drilling debacle, America's decayed education system, corrupt politics, the escalating rise in middle class America living below the poverty line, and the environment? Not one intelligent solution has been developed by them for the Republic's current dilemmas. Not one! Zero! None!

Let's accept the fact that members and subscribers to the "Party of Fools, Hypocrites and Fiscally Irresponsible" are a part of the human species but nothing more. Let citizens of the Republic be more "intellectually critical" instead of being seduced by those that seek political office that stoke one's anger and frustration into voting for individuals that will not strengthen and unite America, but divide and implement chaos instead.

We must reconfigure the current path we are taking the Republic. If we are not careful, 100 years from now America will appear next to Rome in the history books as two great empires that perished because they devoured their own.
