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

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 ofWFT 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.'

Who Needs a Husband?

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?

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.

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!

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.

Making Photographs
-
I decided to try to write a photography textbook that reflects the way that I think about taking pictures. Is this the best textbook for beginning photographers? Certainly not. There are many excellent ones on paper, a few of which are reviewed in the dead trees section of photo.net. However, if you like this way of thinking about photographs and you don't have a paper book in front of you, this online book might be useful.Something to think about taking pictures, by Greenspun.

Nazis and Bush family history: Government investigated Bush family's financing of Hitler
(Remember John)
-
In "The Splendid Blonde Beast," the author wrote about George H. W. Bush's father, Prescott, and his maternal grandfather, George Herbert Walker. Both Bert Walker and Prescott Bush were powerful financial supporters of Adolf Hitler. Walker was president of Union Banking Corporation, a firm that traded with Germany and helped German industrialists consolidate Hitler's political power. Simpson says Union Banking became a Nazi money-laundering machine.

In another case of a quote reflecting what many people want to believe -- in this case that President Bush is an appallingly ignorant racist with little understanding of the world outside the USA -- we have a current example: a claim that Bush asked of Brazilian president Fernando Henrique Cardoso, "Do you have blacks, too?"This alleged Bush gaffe is investigated. The conclusion: undetermined.

Racists, bigots

This page has been set up so that those morons who think that they are better then other people by dint of skin color, national origin or religion will have a place where they can spew their idiocy and stupidity.We set this page up because of all the postings we get spewing forth this sort of crap. We got tired of either ignoring it or posting it and then adding a Note from Anger Central after it. So, feel free to spew your manure here. This page won't be updated as often simply because we consider it very low priority. Someone bashing the boss, screaming about George Bush or spewing on about Microsoft will get first dibs. Our hope is that people will see just how moronic they appear on the web.This one will keep you entertained for days. The sad and/or troubling thing about some of the more over-the-top comments you'll find is that these people believe they're right ... or they just have incredible senses of humor. Be sure to check out the sections on "Blacks," "Whites," and "Americans."

Fowl play
(Guardian Unlimited | Special reports)
-
Denatured and deracinated, the chicken nugget is a symbol of the way we eat now. It is the epitome of our 21st-century system of globalised, industrial food production. Like much of our diet today, the nugget is processed so highly that its taste and texture depend as much on engineering and additives as on any raw ingredients. It depends on the industrialisation of livestock, on an endless supply of uniform factory birds to fit standardised factory machines. It depends, too, on the mass migration of workers, both legal and illegal, since adding the value to it requires an equally endless supply of low-value labour.And Super-Size that muhf*$ka!

The Treadmill
( Playahata.com)
-
Many people hope for an end to so many of the world's injustices. However for the injustices based on economics they often refuse to look at the true culprit or don't understand the most fundamental aspect of Capitalism. And that fundamental aspect is: (write it down if you have to) Capitalism needs and creates massive inequality as a matter of it "functioning."Playahata.com's Eyecalone hits da nail on its muhf*&kin' head with this piece. Good, thought-provoking verbiage. Reading this reminded me of mystery writer Walter Mosley's non-fiction diatribe: Working on the Chain Gang where he wrote, "Democracy and capitalism make strange bedfellows." Sure-nuff! Sooner or later people are going to have to wake up ... or die. (b/w Trayc.com)

Lawmakers: Keep your tunes to yourself
(CNET.com)
-
In a draft bill seen by CNET News.com, key legislators propose limiting Americans' rights related to copying music or transferring files.All of these laws are threatening to take all the fun out of listening to music, or watching TV and movies in the (relative) privacy of your own home. How about this novel idea: instead of paying to have someone perform for you, why not learn how to do it yourself? Take the time to learn how to play a guitar, or stage a play or paint a picture. Learn how to tell a story, and then make up your own. Sure, in most cases your efforts would pale in comparision to the "pros" you so idolize, but on the other hand the time you spent developing your own creative skills would enrich your life far more than any movie, program, or music album full of someone else's ideas ever could. There was a time when every child had to go to music and drama class. Nowadays, hardly any of them do. If the law soon makes it impossible to share so-called "commercial" content, it will not be the end of the world. Just make your own content: they can't take that away from you.

White IVF couple has Black twins
(BBC)
-
A judge may have to decide what happens to black twins born to a white couple after an apparent blunder at an IVF clinic.Lucy! You have some 'splainin' to do! Well, given that the woman gave birth to the children, they are her kids! Is she seriously considering give them up because they are black? They're her kids! This line in the story sums it all up: "When the babies were born, the couple noticed that they were clearly dark-skinned, and suspected that something had gone wrong." See, what has BoyCaught been observing all along: dark skin ... is just wrong! What if the couple had been black and the woman's eggs had been accidently inseminated with sperm from a white man? Oh yeah, she still would have had black babies.

EFF Analysis of USA PATRIOT Act
(EFF.org)
-
The civil liberties of ordinary Americans have taken a tremendous blow with this law, especially the right to privacy in our online communications and activities. Yet there is no evidence that our previous civil liberties posed a barrier to the effective tracking or prosecution of terrorists. In fact, in asking for these broad new powers, the government made no showing that the previous powers of law enforcement and intelligence agencies to spy on US citizens were insufficient to allow them to investigate and prosecute acts of terrorism. The process leading to the passage of the bill did little to ease these concerns. To the contrary, they are amplified by the inclusion of so many provisions that, instead of aimed at terrorism, are aimed at nonviolent, domestic computer crime. In addition, although many of the provisions facially appear aimed at terrorism, the Government made no showing that the reasons they failed to detect the planning of the recent attacks or any other terrorist attacks were the civil liberties compromised with the passage of USAPA.

Introducing Overpeer
-
Through implementing our own patent-pending technology, we offer an effective solution that is a potent marketing engine, and a powerful anti-piracy weapon. By penetrating P2P networks such as Gnutella, Open Napster, and FastTrack, our solution can use the power of P2P against abusers, instead turning software pirates into customers.According to independent sources, the "patent-pending technology" behind Overpeer amounts to killing p2p by poisoning the networks with fake, bogus files, with the ultimate hope of discouraging users away from Gnutella, KaZaA and other free networks, and driving them to the industry-approved Pressplay and MusicNet services. Bastards. How about offering music at a fair price?

Powell: 'bastards won't drive me out'
(Telegraph UK)
-
Despite his frustration at President Bush's tendency to side with Donald Rumsfeld, the Defence Secretary, on issues ranging from the Middle East to the International Criminal Court, Gen Powell is making it clear that he does not intend to quit before the next presidential election. Gen Powell is regarded overseas as a lonely voice of moderation and pragmatism within an strongly unilateralist administration, and his departure would dismay most foreign capitals.Lesson: You can enjoy a public approval rating far greater than your boss, you can be honored by the men who fight for the country, and you can be widely respected by all of the governments and diplomats you negotiate with, but, if you're African-American you still have to work twice as hard to get half as far ... or, Dubya's an even bigger idiot than we thought.

George Michael: I

The singleWhere can we see this video? If MTV, and its ilk, are not propagandists deeply embraced with the Administration, why wouldn't they air it? What do they have to lose? Dubya's got his hands full with the "War on Terror" and now Harken Energy, no?

Strike looms large over All-Star Game
(CNNSI.com)
-
"From everything I've heard, we're not going to set a strike date tomorrow," Arizona pitcher Curt Schilling said Sunday. "We're just going to give authority to perhaps do something in the future." In 1994, players met in Pittsburgh on the day before the All-Star break and didn't set a strike date. Seventeen days later, on July 28, they called for an Aug. 12 walkout. The strike lasted 232 days and wiped out the World Series for the first time since 1904.Well if they go on strike this time, I say f*#k them all. Baseball, circa 2002, sucks. It's filled with a bunch of overpaid, whiny, steroid freaks who don't even honor the game and who come off as jackasses everytime a mic is put in their faces, and it's run by a bunch of greedy, bozo businessmen. I haven't seen a baseball game since Game 7 of the World Series last year, and I don't think I've missed a thing.

Yet all too often they are kept apart -- political coverage is found in the "news" section while subjects like film and television are covered in "entertainment" or "lifestyles."We like to think of PopPolitics as the gray area, the place where it all comes together and begins to make sense. We plan on straddling the line between the two cultures: crossing it, blurring it and erasing it at will.This is a very cool little website. Covers lots of material in the mediasphere. The current article on "Men In Black 2" perfectly nails the crass over-commercialization of the 2002 summer movie season.

Wildfire heats racial tension
(SFGate)
-
Apaches say their northern neighbors have little sympathy for their losses and, worse, rumors are spreading across Cibecue that Apaches are unwelcome in white communities and that restaurants will not serve them. "This has been there a long time," Belinda Colelay, 23, a teacher's assistant, said of years of friction between the white people to the north and the Apache. "Now, it's only going to get worse."Sure this has been going on for a long time ... like since the first time Europeans stepped on land that belongs to Native Americans ... and stole it.

A Jury of Their Mother's Peers
(Sean Gallagher's Rant Central)
-
Quoth the blogger: "The reasoning, according to one lawyer I spoke with about this: older African-American men and younger African-American women tend to be much more critical of young black men. The hope is that the middle-aged African American women will feel more sympathy for cultural reasons, that the young white women will be more sympathetic and open to suggestions by the defense.On the other hand, the prosecution wants a jury with as many white males on it as it can get--regardless of whether they're standing in front of them with a copy of Noam Chomsky's "Understanding Power" in their hands or not. White male juries are hanging juries."And what would an all black male jury be? Inconceivable! Actually, the more interesting thing about this post are the comments, including the guy who cynically says, "Oh yeah, pardon us white males for even breathing." Well, if the shoe fits, wear it. If someone said, "Everything great and wonderful about this world was created by white males," would the pardon-me-for-breathing guy be so cynical?
