Scramble
-I just found out about Scramble on Facebook. I'm addicted. If you want to challenge me, I will play you. I will most-likely lose, as I'm not very good. Nevertheless, it is fun.
-This is pretty cool (psyche!), from www.speaker.gov.
"The New York Times reports that the Bush Administration’s Department of Health and Human Services is drafting a rule that would place new restrictions on domestic family planning programs. While current law allows health care providers and professionals to refuse to provide abortions based on their religious beliefs, this provision would threaten the funding of organizations and health facilities if they do not hire people who would refuse to provide birth control and defines abortion so broadly that it would include many types of birth control, including oral contraception."
-I like that it's now out that Jesse Jackson dropped an N-Bomb in his Obama rant. I hope Don Imus protests and demands that Jackson never be on TV again. He's such a hypocrite. Not only this, but he and Sharpton had a funeral for the word, a real funeral, in which they supposedly "burried it." It was never to be uttered again. They protested Nas and others for saying it. It was the dumbest form of symbolism I've seen in a few years. "Should we just go with the metaphor?" No, let's actually have a funeral, with a casket and everything. We'll pretend it's a person, even though it's a word. We'll claim victimization and oppression, then we'll suppress peoples' rights to say a word, much like is done in countries where official oppression takes place. Then let's say the word on TV after getting someone fired for making a bad joke (A joke, not a comment, like Jackson made) that was tame in comparison.
Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton need to stop pretending that they're the voices of Black America. The news networks need to stop pretending as well. They make every black friend and family member of mine just as uncomfortable as they make me. When there's a race issue, the media needs to turn to Cornell West, Roland Martin and Eric Dyson.
