Politicians Get Social

As the social networking wave continues to grow, sites such as Facebook and Twitter are attracting more than just party-seeking college kids and chatty tweens.

My Inauguration Trip: Thawing Out and Looking Back

It’s definitely good to be home. While I love almost everything about the East Coast, and hope to live there one day, I appreciate the 60 degree nights of California!  But now that I’m home, and the inauguration buzz has diminished, I’m able to reflect on my trip. I still can’t believe that I was a ticketed [...]

We’re here not necessarily to have the best view, but to have the best experience. And memories [...]

It’s 6am ET and we’re at the gate to the Silver Standing section. The gates don’t open until 8 so we’re gonna be here for a while, lol. It’s super packed — we’re one big mass of people — an ever-so-slowly-moving mass of people. More later!

A Closer Look At The “Refresh The World” Symposium

As an African-American, this inauguration is especially momentous. The fact we are swearing-in our country’s first Black president; I can’t tell you how much this means to all of my relatives, friends, and the Black community as a whole. Some have compared Barack Obama to Dr. King — some have equaled his election to our [...]
