At Pull On Superman’s Cape, MC has a video and essay which juxtaposes the way in which Black Liberation Theology recasts the crucifixion as a lynching with Barack Obama’s dramatic use of lynchings, both real and imagined, in his memoirs and on the hustings. Also, you may have heard some of the buzz about about the most recent blasts from Obama’s former spiritual adviser, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, America’s founding fathers “planted

Excitable Andy thinks he is attacking Hillary Clinton for criticizing Barack Obama’s condescending comments about the culure and values of people who live in “small towns” in Pennsylvania and the Midwest: The “bitter” spat is gold for Morris-Rove politics, which is why Clinton is exploiting it so baldly. It is exactly the kind of debate that has constructed American politics since Vietnam; it is exactly the kind of politics that

“Same-sex couples are more honest about monogamy and sex, researchers say. They’re also more mature, considerate and fairer to each other than heterosexual couples. They’re funnier and more affectionate when they argue. Less controlling. They don’t take everything so personally,” she wrote.

This is the process, tested so far only at laboratory scale, of growing pork, chicken, or beef through cell culture in vats instead of raising and slaughtering animals. The writer concludes his piece in this rather chilling way:

Q&O’s McQ looks at the broader context of Obama’s comments about voters in small towns in the heartland clinging to guns, religion, anti-trade, anti-immigrant and racist views due to the last 25 years of economic policy: Now, it’s clear to me, given the full quote that Obama’s talking about why some voters in PA are skeptical about political promises and government in general. And they’re equally skeptical about who is delivering

She’s Just like Miley Cyrus: There’s another side to Alicia Keys: conspiracy theorist. The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter tells Blender magazine: “‘Gangsta rap’ was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other. ‘Gangsta rap’ didn’t exist.” Keys, 27, said she’s read several Black Panther autobiographies and wears a gold AK-47 pendant around her neck “to symbolize strength, power and killing ’em dead,” according to an interview in the magazine’s May

Obama: Unelectable, that’s what you are Unelectable though near or far Though the rants of Wright may hinder me Her transparent lies screw Hillary Never before has someone been more Hillary: Unelectable in every way That’s why I am here, that’s why I stay That’s why, Barry, it’s delectable That someone so unelectable Thinks that I am unelectable, too <instrumental interlude: tuba and digeridoo> Obama: Unelectable in every way!
