The Last Word On…….
………That Newt Gingrich comment about poor kids and work. Of course this was forwarded to me by Gregory Adamo.
……… the Republican campaign prior to Iowa. (I thought I would REALLY miss Herman Cain, but Newt….WOW!) This debate is gaffe-free and was on FOX News. Interesting what’s going on there.
……..The GREATNESS of this comic! (Think Tony Stark as “Doctor Who,” with a Black man’s smoothness. 🙂 ) Buy this!!!
And, speaking of buying this:
…….How happy I am to own this new book! I’m looking forward to being part of a Jared Ball 89.3 WPFW-FM radio discussion with this author on Jan. 6 at 10 a.m. EST. JANUARY 18TH UPDATE: And here it is!
…..how Season Two of “The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes” is taking longer and longer to premiere. Sometime next year. *SIGH* 😦
A New Record!
A lot of money for faded newsprint! But what faded newsprint it is! LOL!
I Pledge Alliegiance……..
As always, thanks to Jared Ball for telling me about this!
Tyler Perry's Messup (No, Not The One You Think)
This writer needs to be read on this issue. I’m glad The Root agrees with me—well, actually, with Angel V. Shannon, who texted me about this. 🙂
Uh-oh!, Vol. 2 :)
Saul Williams– "List of Demands (Reparations)"
Had never seen (or heard of) this. Williams is always fascinating. Thanks to Kalamu for showing this to me.
Let Those Who Worship Evil's (3-D Animated) Might……
……not be watching Cartoon Network next week. 🙂
The Gold Standard
Been thinking about Lerone Bennett Jr. a lot lately. About how serious he is. About how he accomplished more with 10 books than others with 20-plus. (And most of the 10 shaped the entire development of Black history in the 20th century!) About how he, Du Bois and Diop were the only historians I remember John Henrik Clarke writing articles about. About those Ebony “encyclopedias” I grew up with, and stole from my mother when I moved to Maryland almost 20 years ago.
I’m 43, and have produced no major work. I think 45 (2013) might be the year to try to walk down Lerone Bennett’s road.
