  1. Obama and turnout by black voters
    
    (TheHill.com)
  2. A lot of experts are starting to anticipate a sharp rise in voter turnout among African-Americans this November, fueled by pride in Sen. Barack Obamas (D-Ill.) candidacy. The specter of this surge is frightening a lot of incumbent Republican officeholders who think they will be drowned in a rising tide of African-American voters.This panic over impending black, mostly Democrat, turnout may not be entirely justified.
    
    My view: yeah, here we go, start spreading that fear and doubt... black people are going to rush out to polling places and take over! The sad thing is it will probably work. Irrational fears of incumbent white politicians being bounced from office due to this swell of black voter interest -- whether real or perceived -- will probably get more white people to the polls than ever before. God bless a America.

  1. Kiss Me, I'm a Fashionable Bigot
    
    (Bitch Magazine)
  2. My take: As I was reading this two-for-the-price-of-one article, I first thought it was, interesting; then later I realized the first part was just an excuse to see how many times the n-word could be slipped into a document that wants -- no desperately begs -- to be enlightened... which is pretty ironic for an article that decries that people today don't understand irony. Read it for yourself. Either the author of the piece is brilliant beyond comprehension, or as befuddled as the people she's apparently trying to critique. I think: the latter.

  1. D'Antoni accepts offer, chooses Knicks over Bulls (ESPN.com) The so-called pundits don't like this move, but as a long-suffering Knicks fan, I like the potential entertainment value in a run-and-gun system on the Madison Square Garden hardwood.

  1. Tensions, Suspensions, and a Police Funeral in Philadelphia
    
    (New York Times Blog)
  2. Race is in the mix as well: White officers, black suspects, a history of friction and mistrust between the police and the black population.
    
    Arrest alleged perpetrators, yes. Convict them in a court of law, fine. But until we start seeing videotapes of police whaling on white suspects, this story writes itself: it is racially-motivated police brutality. Period.

  1. 75 College Students Arrested in Calif. Drug Raid
    
    (New York Times)
  2. One student was about to graduate with a degree in criminal justice, said Special Agent Ralph Partridge of the federal Drug Enforcement Administration, which took part on the operation. Another was studying for a masters degree in homeland security.
    
    Given how A) media-saturated young people are today; and B) that we glorify criminals in said media, is any of this a surpise? I mean, come on, Grand Theft Auto, anyone? That doesn't glorify thugs and misanthropes? Is our future going to be filled with law enforcers who are basically crooks? Or, maybe, that's the current reality and it's starting to get normalized.

    The tagline for this site/service is: 'People-Powered Customer Service.' I've only just discovered it today, but it seems like a perfect wedding of Web technology and all of this growing 'social media' interest. I'll check it out and report back later.
