I’m a lifelong Trek fan too, but that’s like the least reason he’s a good fit for the job. He’s spent a chunk of his career promoting the value of literacy, reading, and by extension the value of knowledge. That makes him a natural fit for a show like Jeopardy to me. You get a person with a proven track record, and a…

Should be more entertaining than the ones who get big mad about Idris Elba as James Bond, anyway.

I think he’d be great as a host. He’s already spent years in the education space on television, seems like a decent guy, and he’s a known quantity to generations of viewers. Sometimes the safe bet is the correct one.

“I’m not even into politics like that,” Wallace told CNN. “I just want to continue doing my music and look after my family. I don’t have time for this foolishness.”

Anyone who thinks that a minority group’s votes don’t matter need to pay attention to the Tea Party. That group was undeniably a minority within the Republican caucus. By voting together, they shifted the entire Republican party to the right. Black folks voting consistently is powerful. These protests would not have…

Ohio starts early voting today and things are looking good. This is Hamilton County Ohio which includes Cincinnati.
