I know I’ve been slipping with timely posts of the quiz, but I keep realizing that I have to make them harder. Yes, you read that right. Here are this week’s standings…

When Sarah Palin appeared on the national political scene we assumed that Alaska was filled with conservative hunters and fishermen hoping to one day secede from the union. And Eskimos. Rapping Eskimos.

Before you watch this video keep in mind that Alaska has shockingly loose gun control laws and a pretty serious gang problem with Bloods and Crips and all of that stuff. Also please keep in mind that this week’s “what the eff?” is a bit of a challenge – if you can make it to the end of “This Is Angoon,” by Eagle’s and Raven’s you deserve a big gold star!

So many questions and problems. Autotune is troubling enough, but if you desire said effect and you only have the budget to make yourself sound

I’d like to first point out that 80% of the time I consider the interests of my readers.

The other 20% of the time I just indulge myself, and today is one of those days: the fire that is my love for little people must be stoked.

It’s been seventy years since The Wizard of Oz first captured America’s hearts (it did – there is nothing more classic American 20th century pop culture than that movie), and while most of its stars have passed away Newsweek has gathered up the five surviving Munchkins! They’re all in their late eightes/early nineties, one even nods off during the interview, and I’m especially fascinated by the fact that they refer to themselves as “midgets,” a term that is now considered derogatory (reminds me of old

The phrase “cuddle up,” doesn’t really compute in my mind properly, but thanks to a really overactive imagination the idea of spontaneously falling in love with someone who I thought was just a friend has always resonated with me. Maybe it’s because the whole “friends and then lovers” storyline is so essential to American sitcoms and during my formative years I had a bit of an obsession with the Dwayne and Whitley saga. I’ve always asked myself if there’s a Dwayne in my life that I’m missing out on and kept my eyes (and heart) open. At the age of…

Wow…

Little mercy is shown for Madonna in stage parody… by a Malawian cast

A musical parody about Madonna’s controversial adoption of Malawian orphan Mercy James is being performed at the Edinburgh Fringe this month by a Malawian cast.

The 50-year-old Material Girl, who is portrayed in the play Mercy Madonna Of Malawi by a black male actor in a blonde wig, is routinely mocked and her back catalogue of hits takes a beating.

Madonna is first glimpsed breaking wind in bed with adopted Malawian son David Banda, whom she later uses as a step to climb on to the stage.

I am super excited about Chris Rock’s documentary Good Hair. Will it be funny? upsetting? revolutionary? Is black hair about to be outed? We’ll have to wait until October to find out, but check out the trailer for now.

Please, please allow me to bear your children. I’m not playing.

I must have Asia on the brain this week. Between yesterday’s post and a constant hankering for authentic kimchi like I had during my trip to Korea, I just can’t get enough of the Far East these days. Thanks to disagreement over a media regulation bill, South Korea’s parliament session erupted into an all-out brawl yesterday, the likes of which I haven’t seen since last year’s nationally televised Romanian slap-fest. Apparently this happens from time to time, and it’s an approach to government that I can’t believe the U.S. hasn’t…

You think black folks got problems getting into swimming pools these days? A heatwave is sweeping across parts of China bringing temperatures of over 104 degrees so folks over there have to cool off somehow. How about a cool and quiet day at the beach? Set up your umbrella and sprawl out on the soft sand…

Hop into the ocean and let the cool salt water soothe your hot n’ tired body…

What’s a diva anyway?

‘Nuff said.
