Radio funny man Abdul Hakim-Shabazz, always good for a quick remark and a well-crafted legal analysis, is getting hitched. He announced his intentions in an email to some select friends this morning, then posted the happy news on his blog today, Indiana Barrister.

His bride to be is named Cheron. He says, "She tolerates my ego and loves my cooking. What more could a man ask for?"

A relentless romantic, I was quick to offer congratulations. His response:

"Thank you. With Obama being president and O.J. going to prison and me getting married, it's a great day for Black men who have their act together."
