Hello! Or as singer Neil Diamond sang 27 years ago, “Hellooooooooooo, my friend, hello.” This is Ma’atology, the blogger with the No. 1 blog in the STL, well, at least according to The Freeman Bosley Junior Show who say my blog is more of a newsletter. LOL
Well, lets me get into the dirt and scoop:
INTERNATIONALLY,
Ghana is celebrating 50 years of liberation this week. President John Kufuor led Ghana's people on in the celebration. The nation’s capitol, Accra at Accra's Independence Square was turned into a fluttering sea of color as thousands of Ghanaians waving the red, yellow and green national flag commemorated March 6, 1957, when the West African country became free from British colonial rule.
SIDEBAR. When I was listening to News and Notes on NPR with Farai Chideya, some Ghanaians are not celebrating such that when the blacks took over from whites, blacks in power exhibited some of the same slave traits as the white rule. But others are saying, its the principal of being freed to be a sovereign country is what matters……..
President Dubya is traveling to Brazil and other Latin “color” countries to help foreign policy relations with US and them.

ON A NATIONAL LEVEL:
National NAACP president Bruce S. Gordon quit the civil rights organization after just 19 months and soonafter teh NAACP Imgae awards were televised last weekend! Gordon said that while the NAACP was an advocacy organization, it needed to be more focused on service and finding solutions.
ISNT IT INTERESTING THAT HE QUITS AFTER IRISH ROCKER BONO GOT A HUMANITARIAIM AWARD FROM THE IMAGE AWARDS CREW ON HELPING ECONOMICALLY AND HEALTH STRAPPED AREAS IN AFRICA? HMMM, I WONDER.
At least two people can claim a share of a record $370 million lottery jackpot, and there could be more winners — California was still checking its Mega Millions results Wednesday morning, officials said. One winning ticket was traced to a Campark Liquors in Woodbine, N.J., and another to a market in Dalton, Ga., lottery representatives in the two states said Wednesday.
OH WELL, I GUESS I CAN TEAR THE TICKET I DIDNT BUY UP.

The documentary "The Lost Tomb of Jesus" rose to the hype, well sorta. “Tomb” drew a very solid 4.19 million total viewers Sunday at 9 p.m., making it Discovery’s most-watched program of the year. It ranked No. 48 in 2007 thus far among total viewers, outdrawing programs including FX’s “Dirt,” USA Network’s “Psych” and E!’s Academy Awards red carpet show.
Many Christians were outraged over the special, directed my King of the World director James "Titanic" Cameron, that claimed that it had found Jesus’ tomb, contradicting the Bible’s version in which Jesus was resurrected, and had a baby with Mary Magdeline.
AND SPEAKING OF JESUS, DON’T FORGET TO SET YOUR CLOCKS FORWARD ONE HOUR THIS WEEKEND. YOU DON’T WANNA LOOK CRAZY GOING TO CHURCH LATE THINKING YOU ON TIME!
ON A LOCAL TIP:
The STL primaries had a shocker as St. Louis Alderman Lewis Reed defeated incumbent Aldermanic President Jim Shrewsbury (BOTH PICTURED ABOVE) Tuesday in the Democratic primary by a little more than 2,000 votes. Reed will be sworn in as aldermanic president April 3, as he is unopposed in the general election.
Reed won the primary with 53.62 percent of the vote. Shrewsbury received 46.18 percent, while the remaining 0.2 percent were write-in votes, according to the St. Louis Board of Election. Reed, 44, a native of Joliet, Ill., has served almost eight years as alderman. He was elected 6th Ward alderman in 1999.
In April 2001, Shrewsbury succeeded Francis Slay as president when Slay left his unexpired term to become St. Louis' mayor. Shrewsbury, 51, was elected to the position in November 2002.
In other results, the only incumbent to be unseated was O.L. Shelton, the former state representative, who lost by a landslide to Sam Moore in the 4th Ward.
Elsewhere, Terry Kennedy easily fended off a challenge from former School Board member Bill Haas. Former 24th Ward Alderman Tom Bauer fell short of his quest to get back to the board, losing to incumbent Bill Waterhouse.
Two rematches saw 22nd Ward Alderman Jeffrey Boyd rebuff rival Jay Ozier and Frank Williamson, alderman in the 26th Ward, once again defeat H. Lee Willis.
On the Illinois side in East St. Louis, Councilmen Karen A. Cason and Eddie Russell were joined by Robert Eastern III and Roy Mosley in racking up the most votes among nine candidates to move on to the next round on the April 17 ballot.
Eastern, a student at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, led the pack with 2,155 votes followed by Russell, who was elected to the council in 1999. The retired structural engineer for the federal government received 1,803 votes.
Mosley, a former St. Clair County board member, ran third with 1,264 votes. Cason was close behind with 1,261. Those who did not make it to the general election are: Real estate agent Eddie Joshway, 698; retired chief of detectives Lester "Boom" Anderson, 592; former community development department executive director Richard Frye, 442; longtime city employee Hermon Betts, 305 (; and Alvin E. Bolden, executive director of the East St. Louis Neighborhood Development Corp., 124.
SIDENOTE: When I was at the gym at Ballys this week in Clayton getting dressed to workout, I overheard two white guys talking. One of the guys ran for Alderman in St. Louis (all I can say he was white, tall, with dark hair, mid 50s) and the other guy was asking him about his campaign and the guy who ran for alderman was talking about how his campaign people who I guess some were black who were being taunted by other blacks saying how they can help a white man win. The alderman hopeful was saying that they were playing the race card and the other guy was saying that he could sue. Man, I needed a tape recorder cause they were dishing out some serious ammunition for real!
Highway 64 is getting’ ready to get shut down in a matter of lanes starting this weekend, for three whole years. Are we ready to stay on idle?.
The small town of Edwardsville, ill,. Is getting big news goin this past week. One with a deadly plane crash in a field killing a St. Louis pilot and later in the week a small outbreak of salmonella poisoning linked to a popular downtown bar and restaurant Vanzo’s (I wonder iof any peanut butter was served?) .
First, the STL was gettin caught up in the violence with its clubs, now the East Side seems like they are trying to play catch up=--in one night. Two East St. Louis nightclubs, Onyx and Rio, were ordered closed in the wake of shootings there over last weekend.
Police Chief James Mister and City Manager Robert Betts met yesterday with the owners of Club Rio and Club Onyx to discuss security issues and whether the clubs' business licenses would be returned. Corey Starks of Cahokia was fatally shot early Saturday after he and two friends left Club Onyx and confronted two men they found in Starks' friend's S-U-V outside. Less than an hour later, 29-year-old Kendrick Barnes of St. Louis was shot to death after he and three friends were ordered to leave Club Rio.
BEFORE YOU KNOW, THE SAFEST PLACE TO PARTY WILL BE AT THE CRIB.
WHERE THE SWINGERS AT? LOL
On a serious note: the STL has been hit hard with several notable passings in just over a week: First, Riverview Gardens/East St. Louis Senior High alum and Denver Broncos' Damian Nash passed on Sat, Feb. 24 at the age of 24, Veteran politician and teh first African American STL city Comptroller John Bass, died Sunday Feb 25. He was 80. and former Sen. Tom Eagleton, who also ran for Vice President in 1972 and was instrumental in getting the L.A. Rams to move to the STL, died last Sunday, March 4 at the age of 77. All three men definitely made an impact on society in teh STL and the world. May all three rest in peace.
AND NOW ONTO MY TRAVELS.............
I didn’t do much over the weekend cause I was so busy preparing for my upcoming stageplay “Monologues and Penisillin” (THE FLIER PICTURED ABOVE ) but on Friday I did make it out to Stress Free Fridays at Posh for a minute. The crowd was kind of sparse but it was so much other events going on at the time (March Madness, First Fridays at Drunken Fish, etc) that it was a lot for the socialites to choose from. I stayed for a couple of hours, hung with my boy Kamren, ate the chicken (and gettin' plenty of muscle exercise from it. LOL) talked with Mark Jones the co-founder of Stress Free and then bounced. Oh, DJ Nappy Needle was on the 1s and 2s spinnin' the alternative hip-hop jams. In the house were Derek Leopold (nice suit) and rapper Black Spade.
On Saturday, I had callbacks for my fashion show TESTOSCOUTURE and my rehearsals for my stageplay Monologues and Penisllin at the Emerson Library at Webster University with my cast which includes Darrell Moore (Killa MC), L.A. Williams (Dr. Jones), jaron Hicks (Ms, Vageena Honey), Carlos McClaurin 9Goldy Bear0 and Archie Coleman (Mista) and Tamitra Williford (background female).
The Callbacks were interesting. Two of the guys that I saw in November had to return to a second audition to show me that they did what they were supposed to do with their working out regimen.They both improved especially in the abs area (One guy even wanted to go down to his b-day suit to prove that he worked out, but I told him that wouldn’t be necessary. LOL) .
The rehearsals went fine. I mostly helped them get their voices for their characters. After rehearsal I got a call from local actor/director Joel King about a program at COCA with African dancers Afriky Lolo and Diade, but when I got to my car, my back right tire was on a flat for the SECOND TIME, so I had to go and pump air in it. The first time occurred after I hit a bump on Highway 64 after leaving the Water Geyser on late Friday/early Saturday.

I heard the tire go POP and didnt realize until Saturday morning that it was on a flat. Come to find out, a nail was in my tire and I had to get it fixed at the tire store M&M in Cahokia. I went on and got two more used tires cause my tires were showing silver stands wherr the grooves used to be. LOL
On Sunday. I chill'd out and listened to the Freeman Bosley Jr. Show on 100.3 The Beat and while I was listening to co-host Nicci Roach's (or should I say Infamous Nicci RO!) Nic and Nine, I heard her give me a shout out on my play and my blog! They gave me about 2 minutes, especially on my blog and how popular its becoming. I didnt really realize how popular it has become until FBJS personality Darrion Phelps said when he sees me comin he tries to go the other way. CLASSIC. But thanks FBJS for the shout out and I hope I can be on the show this coming up Sunday to be the "fifth wheel" for a few minutes.
Later on that day I had my meeting with my fashion show team Mocha Latte and Marquita Buchanan at the Westin Hotel Restaurant in downtown St. Louis. We were getting our designers and sponsor hopeful lists together (and well as our one-drink on. LOL) I am really getting excited about TESTOSCOUTURE. The imagination of an all-male fashion show competition is slowly becoming a reality . Its an adventure, but somebody’s gotta do it (Oh and thanks Mo for the Corona and hope the Body Blast at Blackmon’s Plaza didn’t tear you up even more seeing all those floppy

STL-TIDBITZ SPOTLIGHT
The STL area is currently celebrating the 160th anniversary of the famous Dred Scott(PICTURED ABOVE) trial in June of 1847 for his freedom and the courts denial of it. The following year, the Missouri Supreme Court decided that the case should be retried. In an 1850 retrial, a St. Louis circuit court ruled that Scott and his family were free.
Two years later, the Missouri Supreme Court stepped in again, reversing the decision of the lower court. Scott and his lawyers then brought his case to a federal court: the United States Circuit Court for the District of Missouri.
In 1854, the Circuit Court upheld the decision of the Missouri Supreme Court. Scott appealed his case to the United States Supreme Court, but lost because the Court did not see him as a legal citizen of the United States..
With the aid of new lawyers, the Scotts (he and his wife Harriet) sued again in federal court. They lost and appealed to the United States Supreme Court.
Dred Scott is interred in Calvary Cemetery, St. Louis, Missouri. Harriet was thought to be buried near her husband, but it was later learned that she was buried somewhere in Greenwood Cemetery in Hillsdale, Missouri.
In 1997, Dred and Harriet Scott were inducted into the St. Louis Walk of Fame. (
THIS COMES IN PERFECT TIMING WITH ESPECIALLY WITH Rep. Talibdin El-Amin who introduced legislation for Missouri to apologize about slavery.
