Background: We launched a successful campaign against “Boys are Stupid†children's products back in 2003-2004. Our protest against the products--which were designed and created by Todd Goldman and his company David & Goliath--gained international media attention and drove the products out of 3,500 stores, 95% of their worldwide distribution.
Recently I have been contacted...

Another female "revenge" commercial. In the Cadillac commercial "Khakis" a female boss revels in humiliating and intimidating her male subordinates--and only her male subordinates.
Adweek, one of the two leading advertising industry publications, evidently thinks it's great, naming the commercial one of its Best Spots of the Year 2006.
Watch the commercial below.
Thanks to Tom, a...

No less than ten Republican hopefuls in the 2008 White House race participated in the first national GOP debate last Thursday, May 3. Even before the 90-minute debate had concluded, media pundits were declaring that former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney had won. Even my friend, MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough wrote, “During the debate I was...

Pomp and pageantry were the order of the day at the White House Monday. In honor of Queen Elizabeth’s journey to the Colonies, President and Mrs. Bush hosted their first, and perhaps only, white-tie dinner of his presidency. Maybe it’s because of my Irish heritage. Maybe it’s because of my republican nature. Maybe it’s...

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that this ad is from an all-female law firm. If a group of male attorneys put up a billboard saying "See all the gorgeous women out there? Divorce your wife and desert your kids and go get one" there'd be enormous criticism.
I'm happy to say that...

"An old friend of mine was caught for years in a divorce like Baldwin's, where they fought over everything. Part of their agreement, like his, was that he got to call his daughters every day at an appointed time. And at that time, every day, he would stop whatever he was doing, hang up...

The average college student graduates with almost $20,000 in student loans. While this is a daunting sum, it is still possible to build wealth even while paying off student debt. But earning the degree and paying for the degree require two different kinds of smarts. In fact, some students may be better off not...

President Bush, hosting the Queen of England and the Duke of Edinburgh, winked at the Queen. Oh the horror! Apparently to some in the British press, this is like offering a veal patty to PETA.
Was Bush’s wink at the Queen poor etiquette or beer goggles? The U.K.’s Daily Mail has been covering the Queen’s...

In the era of the personal computer, some have predicted the demise of paper. However, that doesn’t seem to be happening for the laptop can’t replace the comfort of curling up with a good book or magazine. You must know this, Gentle Reader, since you hold this publication in your hands. Since time immemorial,...

To this columnist, Sheryl Crow is a tragedy. While stationed in Yokosuka, I was joyfully subjected to a very common Japanese ritual. Whenever a major American musical act came to the main island, the concert was broadcast shortly thereafter for the millions who couldn’t get a ticket to the shows. The big ticket at...

Evanglical leaders like Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson and James Dobson whisper sweet nothings to power; they love socializing with President Bush at events like the National Day of Prayer.  Jesus Christ did not attempt to ingratiate himself with the powerful; he blasted the hypocrisy of the scribes and Pharisees.  But there are...

My new co-authored column, "Tyler Perry’s Daddy’s Little Girls Tells an Important Truth About African-American Fathers" (Wilmington Journal & others, 4/6/07), explains how Perry's film illuminates the important but largely ignored barriers our family law system often places between African-American
dads and their children.
The column also discusses new research on the important role African-American noncustodial fathers...
