I am an outsourced American: I am black/African American and approaching 43 years of age. This is a chronicle of my story. The major networks talk about the "robust economy," few of them talk about the personal cost of the loss. I hope my story is not just an ethnic story. Like I said: I am an outsourced American, a casualty of NAFTA and CAFTA. We will all share in this boat soon.

Job cuts in academia

University of Texas Austin plans to trim jobs

Hate to say "I told you so."

I said this in Chapter 19: Open Letter to then President George W. Bush.

I said it again in a letter titled: Dear President Obama.

I'm not looking to bring the go-go nineties back. Heck, I'd just settle for some good old "common sense."

The larger class sizes will be offset by the smaller amount of students that can qualify to go to college, either academically or financially (parents or selves laid off).

Where does that leave us, America? Tea Bag parties are the least of our worries. We're sinking fast and fastening onto arguments that don't MEAN anything!
