How long will Lawrence lead with Trayvon?

I've overdosed.

It's a horrible story and an inexcusable travesty of justice. But as long as Florida's laws are ass-backwards and this murdering liar is in hiding - there's not much any of us can do about it.

Lawrence you had to fill time on Monday by interviewing a chair.

What's going on in politics? What sneaky crap are Republicans up to during this media fixation?

Tell us something we don't know.

all too often the media moves on too soon and injustice prevails. Not this time I hope.

...for expressing exactly the viewpoint that the other side wants us to have.

If the news media didn't cover the Vietnam the way they did (back when we had an actual news media) we might still be there. The same goes for the Civil Rights movement and Watergate.

If you were a parent,especially the parent of a young African American as I am, you would be seing your son's face every time this travesty were mentioned and you would feel an absolute purple rage that would be abated by nothing short zimmerman's very long imprisonment.

Justice wanted
