The Rise of the Black Nerd
(The Village Voice)
-
Black America's fragmentation along class lines need not dilute the aims of racial justice. "Black culture makes itself up as it goes along, but is comprised of things that are outside itself. Blackness doesn't have to be performed. It has to be investigated."Clear and obvious reminder that the bruthas and sistas are really just members of a dysfunctional family. But like any family, there should be room at the table for everyone. Let's have the brainiacs, Thug-Lifers, Black Republicans, ballers, preachers, hustlers, hoodrats, and our kind of people all sit down and break bread together, and if an argument breaks out, WTF!

One Woman's Account of Two Hotel Experiences
(New York Times)

"Let me tell you something: I would rather be in a buffet with a dozen 9-year-olds than with a half-dozen males in their 20's and 30's."I never really stopped to think about how men and women might experience travelling on business differently. This short article highlights a few of the issues.

Tourists offered homeless holidays
(CNN.com)
-
Kamstra Travel, based in Eemshaven, in the north of The Netherlands, is offering tourists the opportunity -- at a cost of ᆪ300 ($430) -- to live like vagrants on the streets of London, Paris, Brussels, Prague and Amsterdam.WFT were they thinking? This one's real old, but it was inspired by this recent Half-Bakery idea for a 'helliday' instead of a 'holiday.'

A subjective listing of excellent free and membership porn sites, as chosen by a pornographer, together with occasional musings on sex, the smut industry, or whatever else I feel like rambling about.Porno for Bloggos.

Who Needs a Husband?
(New York Times)
-
I found it had its perks. My widow friends know them, too: we are not responsible for another person's comfort, we come and go as we please, eat when and what we like, we are not vulnerable to someone else's moods. As one friend put it bluntly: "I never want to do a laundry for a man again."Looking into the crystal ball, BoyCaught can see the future. (username/password required; use cibblog/cibcib)

buck up!
(hideous kinky)
-
"There is something that you men will never realize. We have so much more game than you."We (men) play games because women -- to borrow a line from Jack -- can't handle the truth. The truth is: usually, we just want to sleep with you, and we don't really care about your life story or how your day was ... until that time when we develop enough emotional maturity to realize that a relationship with another adult is actually a cool thing. Some of us never reach that epiphany. Next.

NY Man Sues, Claiming Fast Food Ruined His Health
(Yahoo! News)
-
He didn't realize fried food was bad for him until three years ago, and that he had been eating fast food for decades because it was convenient. "I didn't find out how bad it was until 1999," He said. "I ate a lot because I was by myself."Apparently, eating too much fast food not only makes you fat, it makes you stupid. Does this idiot really think he can win this case? I'm not a lawyer, but didn't he already destroy his position when he said, "I ate a lot because I was by myself." In other words, KFC or Mickey Dees didn't put a gun to your head and make you eat. Any lawyers in the house?

Simple Arithmetic
(No! I Will Not Go Quietly)

With the demise of the old valuation methods, something new had to be found. What emerged was one of the most effective Big Lies ever. While it has no legal or economic basis, the idea took root that owning shares of a company gives you a claim on its profits.Simple economics lesson. Eye-opening conclusions.

Connect the Dots for a Disturbing Picture
(LA Times)

"The people in power represent an economic clique whose interests are only superficially tied to the well-being of the country as a whole. In collusion with their delighted big-money supporters, President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and their Cabinet-level entourage spent years lining their pockets with sweetheart loans, option deals and golden parachutes from oil companies and other related industries."Wake the f*ck up!

Neo/Christ Parallels in The Matrix

The Matrix was released the weekend of Easter 1999 (and if you don't mind a rhetorical question,....What is it that is celebrated at Easter.....?). That release date turns out to be very significant! Please keep that in mind as you consider these points as parallels with the life story of Christ...Given.

25 Rules for Being a Republican
(Independent Media Center)
-
A few selections...
5) You have to believe that pollution is ok, so long as it makes a profit.
8) You have to believe that a woman cannot be trusted with decisions about her own body, but that large multinational corporations should have no regulation or interference whatsoever.
10) You have to believe that society is colorblind and growing up black in America doesn't diminish your opportunities, but you still won't vote for Alan Keyes.Hey, while we're trashing Rep-dick-licans, let's just pin this whole impending depression/economic collapse thing on them as well! After all, the thing is melting down and they're not doing sh*t about it. Which would be Rule 26: Don't admit that the POTUS is moronically incompetent, in order to display artificial party unity.

the closet capitalist
(lgf)
-
From Little Green Footballs (great blog, btw): "We got email today from an LGF reader who was browsing the Lexis research system and discovered that anti-American, anti-capitalist icon Noam Chomsky has embarrassingly capitalist tastes; among other expensive property he owns a 36,155 square foot home near Cambridge, a 13,503 square foot vacation home, and four boats. And we won't even mention the cars. Teaching kids to hate their own country seems to pay quite well."Propaganda or disinformation? Is there a difference, when everyone's lying? When no one's telling the truth? Who do you believe? Who can you trust? On the other hand, while Chomsky routinely trashes the status quo, BoyCaught has never heard him say anything about not cashing checks. He might be provocative, but he ain't no fool!

"To be a good writer (and by extension artist of any kind) you have to be out in the world of work and humdrum living. It's a big mistake, he says, to train writers as "writers" in little hothouse workshops."Great MetaFilter thread on whether having a job and being out in the daily grind actually helps writers.

U.S. air raids took large civilian toll
(International Herald Tribune)
-
The American air campaign in Afghanistan, based on a high-technology, out-of-harm's way strategy, has produced a pattern of mistakes that has killed hundreds of Afghan civilians. On-site reviews by The New York Times of 11 locations where air strikes killed as many as 400 civilians suggest that American commanders have sometimes relied on mistaken information from local Afghans. Also, the Americans' preference for air strikes instead of riskier ground operations has cut off a way of checking the accuracy of the intelligence.

Fair Use advocates silenced by Big Brother
(The Register)
-
Advocates trying to speak for regular Internet users were basically told to sit down and shut up during a "public" workshop on digital rights management at the U.S. Department of Commerce Wednesday.It's important for you, me -- us -- to know where we stand in the minds of BigCo's and Big Government: we're consumers. The only right we should have is to consume whatever they decide to sell to us. As horrible as most popular movies and music products are, do we really need to buy any of it? Or copy it? This whole DRM push could be upended by folks just stopping and thinking about what it is they're purchasing in the first place. But that's where they get you: most of us don't think. Most of us do as we're told. They say "Consume this! Buy that!" ... and most of us do it.
