I’ve received this identical message twice in the last week… The Metro Juvenile DA’s office say they have received “credible” information from their Gang prevention unit that there is about to be a major surge in gang initiations over the next few weeks.

Carnival 2008: Commencer!
The girls and I got all bundled up made it out through the frigid conditions last night to catch a lil KDV action. After getting warmed up at the Crown and Anchor and catching up on our neighborhood’s recent shooting, we jumped on the Fouwee and headed over the river. Was it me or was…

Primary Thoughts
Ya know? After watching B-Rock Obama give his speech following last night’s New Hampshire primaries, you would have thought he won the damn thing. I haven’t even had a sip of the Obama Kool-Aid but even I was impressed with the vision he inspired with his words. Hill looked like she dodged a bullet. Perhaps…
I Know There Are Elections Going On…
…but I decided to post this instead.
