The Glover Report: The Era of Obama:
Today is already the greatest moment in American history. Separate from the annihilation of the indigenous peoples so fondly recognized as the Indians – the Chippewa, the Cherokee, the Cheyenne, the Apache and the Sioux – today, Tuesday, November 4th, 2008 will become the date known throughout that an African American – not quite white like the forty three presidents before him - will become President of the United States of America.

The Glover Report: Checkmate and Back on the Map:
Today, a man we could also classify as mulatto is on the verge of stepping into history … and the White House. And with yesterday’s cosmic endorsement from retired General Colin Powell, Senator Barack Obama has all but sealed victory come November 4, 2008. Likened by pundits to Cicero, Obama gets it. Undeniably American, I think he is the realization of the hopes and dreams of countless freedom fighters like Attucks. As noted by right-winger Armstrong Williams, the hand of God is upon him.

Op/Ed: Civility: People Wanted:
If you have heard me on Doni’s show on WOLB (1010AM) over the past couple of weeks, I have made no bones about who my pick for president is (Sen. John McCain.) However, to be quite honest, I am disappointed in both sides when it comes to the supporters. Read in Full >>

Connecting ‘The Wire’: A Series Dedicated to the Men and Women of Maryland Who Make the Difference:
He is greater than life. And that’s why I was so stunned that he took the time to buy my publication. He could have easily been smug. He could have easily said, ‘Go away, kid. You’re bothering me.’ But he didn’t. Just like Clarence Mitchell, III – another profile I’ll soon share – he knew in the core of his heart that it was his job to share some of himself with little old me. And he did. And in the years to come, I would come to have him on speed dial. Read in Full >>
I’m still with Barack and Joe:
The time for change is here. And the question remains: Who will America choose to lead us for the next four years? The same team of folks who stole the election 8 years ago, sat while the Twin Towers went down, never found Bin Laden, constructed an illegal war against Iraq in search of some mass destruction weapons, hung Saddam Hussein and killed his sons, pissed off every dictator from the Westside to the Eastside, turned a deaf ear to the victims of Hurricane Katrina, sent out a bull feces $300 check while raping people at the gas pumps on a regular to the tune of billions, and finally ended with the worst economy since the Great Depression of 1929?

Op/Ed: The Dixon Report by Baltimore City Mayor Sheila Dixon:
A week ago, our city lost a powerful advocate and many of us lost a great friend when former Councilman Ken Harris was killed in a robbery. It has been a difficult week for us all, especially his family - including his wife, Annette, as well as their children - Nicole and Kenneth. Jr. They continue to be in my prayers, and I hope they are in yours as well. Read in Full >>
Op/Ed: A few words about Ken Harris and Our Stop-The-Violence Campaign:
Normally, when our community suffers such a high profile loss due to senseless violence as we did this past weekend, I will take the opportunity to immediately write and send out a few words. I wasn’t able to do so right away regarding the murder of Ex-Councilman Ken Harris and I realize now that one of the reasons was that this one hit a little bit close to home to me. Read in Full >>
The Glover Report: The Signs of the Times:
A Kenny Harris is not easily duplicated - if at all. However, we, as Americans, find ourselves in dire turmoil desperately in need of leadership. To her credit, Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon is returning Baltimore to some civility. At the same time, the purse is low. And with the decisions made by the American government in Washington, DC under the guise and tutelage of President George W. Bush – the amount of money in reserve is getting lower and lower by the hour. Wall Street is about to collapse. Read in Full >>
