Last night was the big face-off: The Mavericks vs. The Elitists.
I admit that my mind is already made up– I know who I’m voting for and I know where he stands on the issues I care about. But I watched last night’s Vice Presidential Debate mostly to see how Sarah Palin would hold up. Would she freeze like a deer in the headlights when asked the really tough questions? Would she “get back to” the American public regarding issues she had no clue about? Or would she use her good looks and charisma to win our hearts?
I was secretly hoping that she would come across as naive and unprepared as she’s been in the press lately. Oh, let’s be honest: I was hoping that Biden would rip her to shreds.
Instead of a good, old fashioned blood bath, however, what I saw during last night’s debate was a woman who has been groomed and prepared exactly for this night. Within the first 60 seconds of the debate, she endeared “Soccer Mom...

I knew something was wrong with this McCain ad, but I just couldn’t place it. Brent Staples, though, explains it perfectly in The New York Times :
In the Old South, black men and women who were competent, confident speakers on matters of importance were termed “disrespectful,” the implication being that all good Negroes bowed, scraped, grinned and deferred to their white betters.
In what is probably a harbinger of things to come, the McCain campaign has already run a c... more
This is a clip of R. Kelly’s first BET interview since his trial, and I have to say, it’s certainly nothing less of wildly entertaining
Clearly, R. Kelly needs to fire his publicists and other handlers, like he’s fired his brother “a thousand times.” Couldn’t someone have spent a little more time prepping him for this? Furthermore, how could he have spent SEVEN years as a defendant in a trial centering on underage sex without being clear on what... more
Given the United States’ murky history of codifying eugenics into law and authorizing controversial studies on underserved populations, you would think that The USCIS would have thought twice about adding a new stipulation to US Citizenship: fully going into effect this past August, the latest measure requires all female residency applicants to be vaccinated for Human papillomavirus, or HPV.

Personally, I didn’t think the actual cover was all that flattering in the first place, and it’s no surprise that apparently Greenberg wanted it that way. I think that The Atlantic’s backpedaling i... more
