Geraldo Rivera was so inspired by this argument with Bill O'Reilly that he wrote a book entitled "His Panic". Obviously a play on words referring to illegal Hispanic immigrants in America and the fear (or "Panic") of the growing Hispanic population. The immigration argument has become somewhat cliche on the campaign trail. However, my personal feelings on the topic are mixed. While I do believe that it is imperative that the U.S. document the entry of immigrants into this country for, among many other reasons, safety purposes, we cannot let one terribly unfortunate situation become an excuse to incriminate an entire group of people. I have always found it a point of irony that we live in a "free" world with manmade boundaries. It's about time to start holding hands across these borders and support cultural, political, and economic unity. How can we let an imaginary dotted line traced out by centuries of wars and obsolete treaties dictate how a fellow human being should be treated? This is the link to Rivera's ABC interview https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/WaterCooler/story?id=4339477 . I would like to know your thoughts. Peace, Mesaj

Associated Press Tuesday, February 5, 2008 NEW YORK -- On a day for jumping and whooping it up, Michael Strahan showed the throngs of jubilant fans just how it's done, New York Giants style. The star defensive end fired up his team -- a wildly improbable NFL champion -- with a leap that he calls "stomping you out." And with that, Strahan jumped skyward on the podium at a Super Bowl rally Tuesday, lifting his knees to his shoulders. "We would like to extend this to every other team in the NFL and particularly for the last team we defeat ... Read full story

Yesterday morning 98.7 Kiss Wake-Up Club show was at the McDonalds down the street. (our favorite place even though they're stingy on the ice cream) I got a chance to take some pictures of Jeff Foxx, Shailas, Raqiyah, and special guest Sommore who will play at Carolines on Broadway Jan. 18-20. Thanks guys, I had a ball taking the pictures!

My brother came into town and we went to go see Paul Mooney at Carolines! Paul has toned down from the days of whitening his teeth by saying the word "Nigger" but that was just one word, he is still on his game, profound, racy and damn funny. "I always drop in some history." says Mooney. "It's knowledge. There's always a message in my comedy and you may not get it that night – it's like time bombs. It'll get you a week later. You'll understand." The other comedians were funny as well. Hostess Robin Montague was a funny ear full and new comer Maronzio Vance's comedic timing was uncanny. All in all it was a real treat. Paul, Robin, Maronzio, and Carolines thanks for the laughs.
