Read MoreJesse Owens died in 1980. But nearly half a century later he remains an intriguing figure in history for what he experienced and endured not just in track and field, but in society as presumably one of America’s “heroes.”
I had the great honor of meeting Mr. Owens in person, once. That occasion took place back in 1976, four years before his death. Permit me to tell you that story.

Everyone says they want to elect an honest politician. Bullshit. You hypocrites!
Rarely does a politician come around who hasn’t pigged out at the political trough and enriched themselves, One finally comes around in the 2016 race, and most of the electorate are busy shilling for millionaires.

It’s been four days since I wrote about my first-hand experience with a telephone “pollster” asking me several loaded questions about the two leading Democratic presidential candidates.
That article went viral and got 600,00 hits. I was even quoted in The Daily Kos.
