What Does Bishop Eddie Long's Wife Know?

Posted by bamgibbs in Untagged

They say the wife is always the last to know when her husband is accused of some unthinkable crime.  So is that, in fact, the case with the wife of Bishop Eddie Long? 

Vanessa Griffin Long has remained silent since news of the scandal broke--although she stood galantly beside her husband at Sunday service when he spoke publicly for the first time.

One has to question what she knows.  One has to believe she has asked--perhaps grilled her husband--about the allegations.

And if she does know something, one has to question why she continues to remain silent.  Silence can also be conscrued as a form

Suicide rates for middle-aged people are on the rise-- particularly for white men without college degrees -- and a combination of poor health and a poor economy may be driving it, according to a new study.

Sociologists from Rutgers University in New Jersey and Emory University in Atlanta found that suicide rates have climbed since 1988 for males aged 40-49 years, and since 1999 for females aged 40-59 years and males aged 50-59 years.

Men and women with a high school degree or less are more likely to commit suicide. Rates in men with a high school diploma went up 11.7 percent in the 40 to 49 age

We need to "Buck Up"

President Obama said, in a Rolling Stone interview:

It is inexcusable for any Democrat or progressive right now to stand on the sidelines in this midterm election. There may be complaints about us not having gotten certain things done, not fast enough, making certain legislative compromises. But right now, we've got a choice between a Republican Party that has moved to the right of George Bush and is looking to lock in the same policies that got us into these disasters in the first place, versus an administration that, with some admitted warts, has been the most successful administration in a

The Joy of Mentoring

I am a volunteer mentor with Columbus City Schools in Columbus, Ohio.  I am a part of a program called Project Mentor.  I have been matched with a 7th grader who is working hard to do well in school.

There is no objective way to determine who the

THIS IS A CALL TO ARMS!!!

I was there when Harry S. Byrd Jr. led the "Massive Resistance" in Virginia following the Brown v. Board of Education decision. The result was the dismantling of education in my home town in Prince Edward County Virgina -- and the beginning of decline of urban education all over America.

WE MUST LEARN FROM THIS HISTORY, AND PREVENT THE REPUBLICANS FROM DESTROYING THE OBAMA PRESIDENCY!  Read this article at TheRoot.com for more details.

What we are facing -- by any other name -- is a direct attack on President Obama.  We must not allow the Republicans to shape the

In case you haven't heard, a fourth lawsuit has now been filed in the scandal that appears to be cracking the foundation of the New Birth Missionary Baptist church its the larger-than-life Bishop.

The lawsuit alleges Breach of Fiduciary Duty; Negligence; Fraud; Infliction of  Emotional Distress and other Counts based on Sexual Acts by Bishop Long against this young male church member.

Rumor has it that there are more young men planning to come out of the woodwork.
