She's Just Soni from tha Block

So I rolled outta bed this morning just in time to hear President Obama, *hey boo*, announce his pick for the Supreme Court, Federal Judge Sonia Sotomayor.


Don't be fooled by the rocks that she's got, Senora Sonia hails from Da Boogie Down Bronx. Lil Sonia grew up in the Bronxdale Housing Projects and went on to earn degrees from Princeton University and Yale Law School.


If Judge Sotomayor is confirmed, she will be the first Female Hispanic to serve on the Supreme Court. AZUCAR!!

Peace Out Ray Nay!!

This Just In: New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin is the new Bush!

RAY NAY

Apparently the city is New Orleans is over its mayor, Ray Nay, and is ready for him to pack his bags and call Tyrone (Ooh!! remember that song??)
In a recent poll conducted by University of New Orleans, Ray Nay received the worst reported approval rating since 1986; and that was the during the Crack Epidemic

crack cocaine

Nagin's approval rate this year clocked in at 24%, a considerable drop from last year's 31%.
Comparatively Nagin was rated as the 3rd "biggest problem" for New Orleans.... right after crime and education. It's got to be one sad-ass day when your cities Mayor is almost as bad as your cities crime..... But wait, this all sounds oddly familiar

"Bitch Set Me Up"

Well at least Marion Barry got reelected after all his fuckery.

Nawlin's folk want him out so bad that they're even selling bumper stickers trumpeting the countdown to his final day in office. We are in a recession y'all..... MAKE. THAT. MONEY.

RAY NAY N' HIS STUNNAS
CHARGE IT TO THA GAME!!!

Scenes from the White (Black) House

" You know you lookin' right in that dress..... Girl, I'm the President. I'll make all these fools leave. And we can go right back upstairs and TWERRK IT OUT. "

" BOY, STOP!! "

The Opposite of Food Porn

America takes 20 leaps forward by electing a Biracial president...correction a FINE ASS Biracial President

Then a Greenwich Village Bakery takes 5 steps back with the

DRUNKEN NEGRO FACE COOKIE!!

OMG!! Racists everywhere now have an Official Snack.

I hate that I had to get the video from World Star HipHop.com and FOX 5......two of my sworn enemies. But desperate times call for desperate measures.

Roll the tape....

The damn cookie doesn't even look appetizing....but that Dead Goose bread sure is sexy!!

And how is he gonna say that he has asked Black people if they found the cookie offensive?!?!
Did he ask all Black people?!? I'm sorry, I must've missed that knock on my door (I prolly thought he was a Jehovah's Witness).

After careful and repeated screenings of this video, it is beyond the shadow of a doubt that this man is INSANE. His food handler license needs to be revoked and he needs to hauled off to the loony bin.


PS: Did I mention that hes charging $3.50 for his "work of art"..... Just plain ole' crazy.

Eating Down Bottom

This is how you know that you're below the Mason Dixon Line......

This is a steak...... wrapped in Applewood Bacon.

Well maybe steak isn't your thang....The Lard Innovators over at The Golden Corral also serve Chicken Breast wrapped in Bacon. Or if you're really ballin' outta control, pop some champagne with your Grilled Pork Loin, you guessed it, wrapped in Bacon.

It even has its own commercial....that plays regularly on TV.

Am I the only grossed the Eff-out and hella confused right now??

Say 'Hello' to heartburn and Git Some at The Golden Corral

I wonder who's gonna be their hair dresser? Maybe they'll bring in some Dominicans to hook them up with the Wash and Sets and what not?!?!

Press and curls, Line-ups and Relaxers all up in the White House!

Its a Glorious Day!!

PS: Did anybody else want to bitch slap Jesse Jackson for sobbing like a punk after popping all that hot shit about Obama?!?!

A damn shame.

I'm back Mofos!!

I Wants None of It !!! Joe the Plumber ain't havin it!

Apparently America's favorite plumber, Joe, is none too pleased with all of the limelight hes been receiving of recent. The Associated Press reported yesterday that Joe the Plumber aka Joe Wurzelbacher is upset with the public scrutiny and media attention that has snowballed since his meeting Sen. Barack Obama on the campaign trail.

Joe the Plumber has been unable to work and carry on with his normal life due to the reporters and cameras camped out on his front lawn. After being referenced more than 20 times in the final presidential debate, Wurzelbacher has become a key figure in the personification of "Small Town America".

Don't worry Joe, your 15 minutes will be over soon enough and then you can get back to uncloggin toilets.

In other related news, the wesites www.JoeSixpack.net and www.JoeThePlumber.com have seen record high traffic for all the wrong reasons.

Nothing says American Glutton like Fried Chicken and Biscuits!

Lust worthy to say the least!!

Banksy on Bank Corruption??!!?!

Banksy, is that you?!?!?
Fresh off the heels of posting about psuedo-Banksy art, the piece went up literally over night on the corner of Broadway and Howard.
Not quite sure if this was Banksy.....But the consensus around here is that is was him!

Blood on their hands

LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!

The Stage is Set!

9pm EST
Keep it Clean Mofos!!!

Colette x GAP

I'm sure you heard about this one by now.
But feel free to file this one under Weirdest collaborations ever...

The boutique of Parisian cool, Colette, is teaming up the the chain of coporate American Lame, The GAP, to produce its first ever mini-shoppe in the US.
The Colette x GAP pop up shop will open for one month(September 6th to October 5th), adjacent to the flagship GAP on 5th ave and 54th street.



Now, I've been to Colette (International Snobette Oui Oui!!)and I've been to the GAP (regretfully so), and I still don't see how these two polar opposite enterprises are gonna mesh well. Hopefully, Colette will have all of the creative control and the GAP will simply foot the bill like a good ole' SugarDaddy!!


Looking homeless outside of Colette.



Lost like a true tourist.

The Pop up store will feature special collaborations by Andre x Neckface, Miss Tic x Claw Money, SO-ME x EPSO and Jean Phillipe Delhomme x Ruben Toledo.
See ColettexGAP.com for more info.

Your Daily Dose of Irony

Magazines do not put Black models on covers because we don't sell issues.
In the face of rampant criticism and questions of racism, Italian Vogue does an
"All Black Issue" with 4 different covers of Black models and over 100 pages of editorials featuring black models.
The "Black Issue" hit US newsstands last week.
It sells record breaking numbers in a time when print media is rapidly waning.

I head into the newsstand today shortly after noon. The issue price has gone up a whole $10, from $15.99 to $25.99.

At 9:30pm this evening, I walk back to the same newsstand, the magazine is sold out again.

To this I say 2 things:
Black is the new Black
C.R.E.A.M .........Cash Rules Everything Around Me

"Dolla Dolla Bill y'all!"

More like Jacob the Jailer....

If you take a moment to scroll down you'll notice that I've placed mad labels on this post. I guess I'm having a hard time categorizing this foolishness.

(In)Famous jeweler of the Hip Hop Glitterati, Jacob Arabov aka Jacob the Jeweler, was sentenced to 30 months in prison and was slapped with a 2 million dollar fine this week.

"I got that work!!"

The crime?? Laundering Money, to the tune of over $270 million in narcotics earnings for a Detroit-based drug ring. No, that wasn't a typo...I said Detroit Drug Ring Fool!!!

My 2 cents: if hes working with over 270 million, you're only gonna fine him 2 million???
I can't get over the whole drug ring thing (unintentional rhyming, my bad).
I knew his ass was a little to interested in rap music.

Shit, I'm been Black since I was born and truthfully, I'm over rap music.

Work really can make you sick !!!

Well according to this article by the New York Times.....

Sickened by the Office (Really)!!

Its called Occupation Asthma.... and yes I suffer from it.
(I don't know about you... but this picture alone makes me queasy)

Is it something in the Water??

What in the world is going on?!?!

First there was Eliot Spitzer and Ashley Dupre,

(Spitzer discussing his manhood)




Then there was David Patterson and his God-Knows-How-Many Woman

(His wife looks like shes about to slap him)



Now Sharpe James and Tamika Riley....



And have you heard the charges...

1. Mail Fraud
2. Misapplication of Federal Funds
3. Tax Fraud and Evasion
4. Finally...Section 8 Housing Fraud

Does no one respect the Holy Union of Marriage? How about a Public Position???
Not even a little bit...
These folks are reckless!

A lil' Liquer in the Morning

Have you ever heard of Shirley Q Liquor?
The other night, whilst hangin' in an East Village Bar (much to my Mother's dismay), my Dear friend Hakim put me on to this comic.
I thought her shit was funny, i'm sure the 3 Coronas I had helped me come to this conclusion.

Upon further research, I found out that Ms. Liquor is actually Charles Knipp,
a gay white man. Knipp performs in Black Face and Drag to become Shirley Q Liquor, an ebonic speakin' Southern Black Mother of 19 chil'rens, that collects her welfare on the 1st and 15th, repectivley. Shirley attends the Mount Holy Olive Second Baptist Zion Church of God in Christ of Resurrected Latter-Days AME CME, she enjoys Cold Malt Liquors ("It works Everytime!") and Menthol Cigarettes.

Ms. Liquor has been the center of controversy for quite some time. Her shows have been boycotted, her appearance protested and some show dates cancelled. In particular there is one Black Female that is not impressed with Knipp's act, Jasmyne Cannick. Cannick's campaign to shut down Knipp demands more for Black Women and Black People in general.

While watching Shirley's clips on YouTube, I found myself laughing at her/his antics. One of the clips entitled "Church Slave" was particularly funny and quite true in its comments about Black Female Churchgoers.
In some ways I felt guilty for finding Shirley funny, but would the jokes have been alright if Knipp was actually a Black Man?

And to add to the equation... what of Tyler Perry's Madea? Is his Angry Black Woman Caricature acceptable simply because he is Black?

Check out this clip of Shirley Q Liquor and leave me some feedback and commentary dammit!!
