I don't necessarily agree with either viewpoint. Pat Buchanan is occasionally goofy, but his logic here is sound. The raw calculus behind affirmative action in 2009 America is questionable. Maddow's point that this is good for America because it makes us happy about our progress is specious, I think. But taking the historical long view, Sotomayor on the Supreme Court is good. 100 years from now things might start to make sense because of controversial/progressive steps like this.

kinda like Reverand Wright but way weirder....I don't know, is this liberal paranoia or something deeply scary?

"til I gotta a buzz like that nigga Chris Mullin"

If you were iffy on either Wale or Lady Gaga, this might make you believe at least a little bit (sure we're late to the game, but enthusiasm counters).

first of all, saying nigger to indicate a white dude is way more prevalent than most whities are privy to, so I like when that happens. Second of all, Chris Mullin really rocked a hard core buzz cut for most of his professional career. This was after he sported a shag 'do during his alchohic St. Johns years. He's a Brooklyn mofo to boot. Lots to love.

3rd of all, the Larry Bird comparisons in the above piece are egregious. This was still back in the day when white players (who were inevitably slower and good shooters) inevitably got compared to other white players, inevitably Larry Bird. Come mid to late '90s, (around the time Keith Van Horn (who dunked frequently but was still inevitably white and slower) compared himself to Derrick McKey (black)) there began a movement to end the racial profiling of tall white forwards with perimeter skills. Who cares, right? Somebody, I say.

Autotune is a joke.

Dirty Projectors - Stillness Is The Move

Try to imagine a music video by indie darlings that all at once evokes Willow, SWV, and just a bit of Blaze Of Glory. How does it look in your mind's eye? Like this?



here's what I'm talking about...the constituent parts.
