I love the guy - I voted for him and hope he'll do what he promises, but I just don't consider Barack Obama to be "Black." Same goes for folks like Halle Berry, Mariah Carey, or Tiger Woods. I just see them as mixed. I think Barack at least may feel the same way since he's always dodging ethnicity questions. I understand way back when in ( Read more... )

What is up with all of the ring commercials lately? It's not like it's Spring or 2/14 or whatever. This overabundance of commercials is precisely how we can end up with berserker gunmen and whatnot. Me, for example, it makes me want go f---ing apes---. Oh yes, the Haterade runs strong in this one. Recently, I've deduced that every major ( Read more... )

...I got to watch another debate. Barack Obama vs Alan Keyes in the US Senate(title stolen from Bulls vs Lakers in the NBA Playoffs for Genesis*hums theme song*). For those of you that have been paying attention to the Presidential Race, both names should look familiar. Barack Obama was that clear, articulate man with the funny name who spoke ( Read more... )
