and now, blackface makes its return?!
Obama’s “related” to Bush and Cheney, Lebron’s assuming a gorilla stance on Vogue channeling King Kong with Giselle grinning it up, damn, the presidential RACE is getting outta hand…

along came al sharpton
i saw Al Sharpton speak on the same night as i saw the movie Along Came Polly. what is the connection, you ask? well, wondering if i’m a “polly”, a freespirited gypsy, and also being sure of what i am committed to, i revel in the brilliance of the reverend’s threat (or appeal) to today’s youth to stand for something, or risk making some preacher’s job difficult at their funeral, by forcing him/her to “have to hallucinate a life for someone who never made a difference past his/her own life while his/her family is wailing in the front pew.” deep. also related is anecdote recounted by Gabriel Garcia Marquez in the first volume of his memoirs about the names and accomplishments of Colombian revolutionaries getting all jumbled up and the erection of monuments at random: “the story had circulated as a joke for many years, but I, on the contrary, thought it had been an act of historical justice to erect a monument to heroes who were nameless not so much because the lives they had lived as because of the destiny they had shared.” so, “even if they never name a holiday after you, and they never shut down the post office for you”, do some damn thang. commit to your local movements because they are going on around you. it’s a lot easier to just do your part than it is to complain about what you cannot possibly do.
TUL of the week: lil’ penny
this was actually a brilliant Nike campaign, as i didn’t actually like the full-sized hardaway (well, that’s not true, i loved tim) but i had mad love for the pocket sized version. 
chris rock is a genius though…favorite quotes: “is this real leather? because it’s sticking to my legs!”, “the baseline baseline!”, “oh! you’re breaking up, are you going through a tunnel?” check youtube for the 1996 championship intro…”i chased chickens”…LOL!
free tibet!
in the spirit of “things that white people love”, i had to write about an interesting experience i had last week when i tested out the tibetan resto on st.lo, OM. tibet is one of the most popular topics that white folk love to pontificate about, as evidenced by the pair of concerned do-gooders sitting in the window seat enjoying their meal/gossip session in which they masticated carefully whilst judging other white people about their “lack of awareness” on this awful situation. i also caught some cuteye, like, who was i to just come in and enjoy some noodles in the middle of their obviously spiritual experience? yet another case of white people trying to out-asian the asians….pure comic relief, or as amit would say, “that’s good material”.
