Out on the stoop, I’m smoking a cigarette, which is a big
mistake. Kris has noticed me. He lives in a building up the street and
he’s a pain in the ass. As he approaches, I already know what he wants.

It's a rare night, an even more rare
weekend night when I’m without my wife and daughters, so I find myself
hanging out at the Oak for a guys’ night out with couple of friends,
eager to watch the Reds and talk some trash. The young night grows old
and soon I’m one of the last two holdouts, not quite ready for the
evening to end.

Usually, we lose power along the T-shaped
intersection where I live in Walnut Hills when somebody spits on the
sidewalk or a moderate wind blows through. So when the lights flickered
the first time in TJ Maxx, I knew what was up.

Postmodern black American enslavement is quite a spectacle. Witness the temporary thunderclap of
comfort and the blinding shinola emitting from the upper middle classes
every time a black American charges an expensive purchase or, better
yet, uses payday Friday bill money to floss. All black everything.

In 300 years, when machines run the
earth, our robot scientist overlords will be able to study our ancient
society’s morals and taboos via what we allow and eventually embrace in
pop culture.

U.S.-Africa Business Conference Concludes Today
Two-day summit follows the annual African Growth and Opportunity Act forum in D.C.
The two-day U.S.-Africa Business Conference, which took place at the Westin Cincinnati Hotel in downtown Cincinnati, wraps up today, concluding a summit congregating business experts from across the world to discuss business concerns related to energy, transportation, water and sanitation. The conference, organized by the U.S. State Department, is intended to serve as a forum for Cincinnati area companies to connect with African business leaders in hopes of creating longstanding partnerships while helping African nations improve economy and infrastructure. It follows the annual African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) forum which took place in Washington, D.C. June 14-15. The U.S.-Africa Business Conference is intended as a way to expand on the AGOA, offering U.S. businesses a platform to showcase business expertise to potential African clients and highlight investment opportunities in Africa for U.S. exporters and investors, according to the U.S. Department of State. Federal agencies that have participated in the conference
include the Departments of State, Transportation, Energy and
Agriculture, U.S. Agency for International Development, Office of the
U.S. Trade Representative, U.S. Commercial Service-Cincinnati and the
Environmental Protection Agency. According to the U.S. State Department, Cincinnati was selected as the 2012 conference location due to its "potential to increase commercial partnerships with Africa at local, state and regional levels." The conference includes site visits to GE Aviation, CVG International Airport, EPA Testing and Evaluation Facility, Cincinnati State Renewable Energy Labs, Duke Energy Envision Center and others.
