Charles Barkley swears he’s not a role model, but he thinks Barak Obama would make a good one. From an article in the Philadelphia Daily News, we get this goodie: Sir Charles is prepared to lay his sword on Sen. Obama’s shoulder in part because of Obama’s pigmentation. But the thinking goes deeper than “I’m [...]
In a way, watching (listening to) people dissect people discuss race is painful to watch, but there is a certain familiarity to the dance. First there’s the event, whatever it is. Maybe somebody says somethin, maybe somebody does somethin, whatever. There’s an event. Then there’s the media coverage (or lack thereof). Then comes the question, [...]

Now this is more like it. I knew Donovan was due for a breakout game, but this was outta control. Now it’s easy to temper my enthusiasm because it was against the Lions, but still. They were 2-0 coming into the game, so it’s not exactly like they were pushovers. Not the offense, at least. [...]

In light of the extremely inauspicious manner in which the Eagles are starting the 2007 season and the discussion on anthropomorphic global warming (AGW), I figured I’d try to sew them together in a way that makes some sense. It is established fact that home teams in the NFL tend to win more. About 58% [...]
One of the things I remember most clearly about my freshman year in high school was that my biology teacher, Mr. Richardson, warned us about the dangers of popular science. Not Popular Science the magazine, but popular science, as in scientific findings that are reported to news organizations for dissemination to the general public. He [...]
I ain’t all Super Nationalist or whatever, but I guess I came up being inculcated into the “spend money in the Community whenever you can” mindset, so I do that. So as a couple of you know, I’m buying textbooks for my class, so instead of going with one of the major chain stores, I [...]
