Are you sick and tired of magazines like Cosmopolitan promising to show women what men crave in bed? Are you at the point where the mere sight of a magazine cover claiming to know men’s deepest, darkest desires makes you want to kick a passerby? Well I am! Generations of women have been fooled into believing that the key to finding [...]

During last week’s Miss Teen USA pageant, eighteen-year-old Lauren Caitlin Upton—now better-known as Miss Teen South Carolina—fumbled her way into infamy with a rambling, disjointed, and generally appalling response to a simple question, demonstrating to me that she is neither well-informed nor well-educated. But Caitlin Upton is merely a symptom of a larger problem.
That larger problem, my friends, is that Caitlin lives in a [...]

Another rabid homophobe in the GOP has pleaded guilty to indecent conduct in a public men’s bathroom.
Three-term Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho was arrested on June 11 in a men’s bathroom at the Minneapolis airport after allegedly using coded signs to solicit an undercover male officer, who was in an adjoining stall. Craig apparently tapped [...]

So today, I decided to only play female musicians. It felt like male musicians have been dominating the show lately.
I recently got my hands on a couple of Les Nubians CDs, from whence comes the ”Brothers & Sisters track.” I’ve also got a couple of tracks in there by local musicians: DC’s own Princess of Controversy (”A [...]

My plans for dominating the world are finally beginning to take shape!
Just kidding, of course. I don’t even have plans to dominate my bedroom, let alone the world.
I am dominating Google’s internet search engine, though. My name is, at least. Type in “Abdul K. Kargbo” and the majority of hits will be links to my blog.

I have a theory.
I believe that many (if not most) male right-wing politicians are hypocrites. They rail against homesexuality and infidelity while, at the same time, they fight the urge to give in to their “immoral” or ”indecent” desires. And, as recent sex scandals prove, they don’t always win.
Take, for example, the cases of abstinence-only campaigner Randall Tobias, gay-bashing reverend Ted Haggard, and family values [...]

Last night, two very unusual things happened. Unusual because they haven’t happened in a long time. I had a dream and I actually remembered it.
Remember that dream where you show up to class and discover that you have an exam that you completely forgot about? It’s a pretty common anxiety dream that a lot of people continue to have even after [...]

Today, 50 Sierra Leoneans drowned (100 are still missing) when their boat capsized shortly after hitting rough water at the mouth of the Great Scarcies river. The boat was travelling from the capital, Freetown, to the northern village of Rokupr. Of the undetermined number of passengers who departed the capital, only two have been found alive. Last week, another boat capsized in [...]
