CNN hosted a roundtable discussion last night on the topic of the infamous beer at the White House. The guests at the roundtable were with John Ridley, Willam Bennett, and a good friend of mines, Basheer Jones. Basheer is from Cleveland, Ohio and is a graduate of Morehouse College in Atlanta, Gerogia. After graduating from Morehouse, he took graduate classes at Howard University where he was my graduate assistant in the Charles R. Drew freshman dormitory. Basheer is someone to take note of, his appearance on CNN last night is the latest notch on a impressive resume. It’s a resume that shows he has the charisma needed to host a talk show for Radio One, his political awareness --he ran for Mayor of Cleveland, and his ability as an orator by way of numerous YouTube videos of him both reciting speeches and reciting poetry. Plus, he killed the freestyle cipher in my video about freshman year. Much respect to Basheer Jones.

And even more respect to CNN for "losing" William Bennett's signal when he was about to launch into a ranting rage.
