Bill Cosby: Trayvon Martin Case is about guns, not race

Dominic Carter | April 16, 2012

Entertainer Bill Cosby says the national uproar over the killing of teen Trayvon Martin should be over guns, not race. I ask, does Cosby have a good point?

In an interview on CNN's "State of the Union" that aired Sunday, Cosby said calling George Zimmerman a racist was pointless.

Hillary2016? It Could Happen

Dominic Carter | April 13, 2012

One of the few mementos that I proudly keep is a 2008 "Hillary for President" media pass.

It's bright yellow, and is from the Iowa caucuses. I remember the night well in Des Moines at her victory night celebration.

A Great Night for Mitt Romney But How Does He Untangle the Web He’s In?

Numerically it may not officially be over… but with his sweep of Wisconsin, Maryland and Washington, D.C., Mitt Romney is on a trajectory to the nomination.

Thank You to my fellow Inner Circle Members-You brought tears to my eyes

Dominic Carter | April 2, 2012

Had a beautiful, great time this weekend at the Inner Circle Show. The show was a hit on, and off the stage. The packed house meant more proceeds for the dozens of charities helped by the benefit performances. Mayor Bloomberg for his part, was joined by stars Nick Jonas, Beau Bridges and other cast members of “How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying.” In this photo is my Aunt Inez with the Mayor.

The Trayvon Martin case is getting uglier and more insulting by the day

Across America, Why are so many good minded people upset?

-Police initially REFUSED to release the 9/11 tapes. Audio versions that we now know can greatly assist prosecutors, an swayed the court of public opinion throughout the world on this case.

-A dead boy is tested for drugs, not the possible suspect slurring a few words on
the 9/11 tapes.

-The public was initially told by local Police that George Zimmerman had no criminal past. Turns out that was not true.

The Day I Cried in the Theater: The Great Work of Hudson Link

Dominic Carter | March 26, 2012

Every American should know about a relatively unknown program run out of New York State titled Hudson Link.

Please understand this is not coming from the perspective of some bleeding heart liberal.

Cuomo Wins With His Pension Deal

Dominic Carter | March 17, 2012

The man is on a roll.

If I told you during the campaign that Governor Andrew Cuomo would have major, unprecedented first-year accomplishments, and then would set the bar high in year two, wouldn't you ask what was in my coffee? Did I have some type of head injury?

On NY1, Congressman Charles Rangel would joke all the time asking live on TV, if I was drinking that "Giuliani" water? You might ask right now, if I had some of that "Cuomo" Water? (Answer is no, and no.)

Former Rutgers Student Ravi Guilty in webcam case

It became increasingly clear during the trial that Dharun Ravi should have taken the plea-bargin offered to him, even though he was looking at the possibility of being deported.

No Southern Love for Mitt, But Huge Night for Santorum

Dominic Carter | March 14, 2012

It almost sounds like repeat lyrics of a Top 40 song that Mitt Romney hates.

Romney has momentum — a chance to finally beat expectations only to fall short in the end — and never closes the deal.

Sound familiar?

If Romney had only pulled off Alabama or Mississippi, it would be a different narrative today. It would go like this: Organization matters, the Republican primary is over and Romney can start this general election battle with President Obama.
