Obama No
By Adolph Reed Jr., May 2008 Issue
Progressive May 2008
I’ve never been an Obama supporter. I’ve known him since the very beginning of his political career, which was his campaign for the seat in my state senate district in Chicago. He struck me then as a vacuous opportunist, a good performer with an ear […]
posting will be heavier
heh. only heavier because I am cleaning and packing for the move, so I take a break every so often by plopping my fat, dimply, pimply ass in front of the computer to read lbo and surf blogs. not much surfing because there are no decent blogs to read any more.
i tend not to look […]
dewds, obama threw wright under the bus when he implied he was the family’s crazy uncle, but now youre *shocked* *shocked*?
Glen Ford at BAR, Obama’s ‘Race Neutral’ Strategy Unravels of its Own Contradictions. Excellent analysis, as usual. The title refers to someone’s reaction at the lbo listserv. it just cracked me up that a radical — a marxist radical and not some wimp ass version of such called “progressive” or some shit — actually thinks […]

black culture industry
i am supposed to be going through all the boxes we brought here from storage, repacking some stuff and organizing, as well as getting rid of what i should no longer be packratting. for instance, i unpacked a box and found some baby power, a brand called “kids” that I probably bought at discount 15 […]

Dismal Science
how would the candidates address the coming recession?»Krugman’s NYT piece lays out the strategies. Will someone PLEASE tell Obama to get with the program and stop marching to the right? Yes, R. A recession. Would you PLEASE get a job? As in, we need to both have jobs in case some bad shit goes down, ya dig?
