Author E. Lynn Harris Dies at 54
E. Lynn Harris, an African-American author, has died at age 54. The bestselling author was openly gay and known for his depictions of men on the down low. The AP has reported that:
Publicist Laura Gilmore said Harris died Thursday night after being stricken at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills, and a cause of death had not been determined. She said Harris, who lived in Atlanta, fell ill on a train to Los Angeles a few days ago and blacked out for a few minutes, but seemed fine after that.
An improbable and inspirational success story, Harris worked for a decade as an IBM executive before taking up writing, selling the novel "Invisible Life" from his car as he visited salons and beauty parlors around Atlanta. He had unprecedented success for an openly gay black author and his strength as a romance writer led some to call him the "male Terry McMillan."
In 15 years, Harris became the genre's most successful author, penning 11 titles, ten of them New York Times bestsellers. More than four million of his books are in print.

NEW MUSIC :: 9th Wonder Presents Tyler Woods - Slow Jams/Relations
The melodies and tempo remind me of Charlie Wilson's 'There Goes My Baby'. I wonder if Calvin Richardson wrote this song.

Politics on Tuesday :: Pat Buchanan is a joke
Here are a couple videos from Rachel Maddow's show. The first one is when Pat Buchanan was on her show making statements that white men basically built this country and that the Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor isn't qualified for the position. The second was is Rachel correcting some of the "facts" that Pat stated. And the third is of Rachel connecting the dots about the C Street scandel (starts about 2:50 minutes into the video).
