Become Obama art at Obamicon.me! So you didn’t make it to the biggest party D.C. has seen in decades and you were hoping to score some juicy details about all the galas and freezing with the crowds of people on the National Mall? Look away then. Look away. What you are going to get right [...]

I’ve made my way back from Ethiopia and London. I cut Dubai completely out of the picture for this moment in time so that I could come back and fight fraud like a ninja on crack. Yes, someone got me for my goods or cash flow while in Africa, but all is well and corrected [...]

I DO. I really do. It’s like any other place on the planet in the sense that it is what you make it. Some people say it is too fake, too Hollywood, too weird, too liberal, too whatever… I say it is too cool for school. Simple. Number one reason being my darling, most phenomenal [...]
