Say Anything

Again, courtesy Andrew. Here's our last Democratic president:

“I never thought it would be the Democratic Party that didn’t want to count votes in Florida,” he said at a rally at the University of Montana. “I thought that was a Republican strategy -- or strategery as the case may be. And I just ask you all this, do you really believe Florida would be getting this kind of treatment if the vote had turned out the other way?”

I saw Clinton's presidency from the perspective of a high school and college student. There is so much more that I wish I had known then. This dude makes me ill.

I agree as long as our political discourse didn't take anything that someone said and stretch it to the point that it could theoretically offend anybody. I mean, tar baby in reference to a black person, racist, tar baby in reference to the brer rabbit story, not racist. But who cares in politics where anything to goes against the sensibilities of the right is tantamount to hating america.

This Is My Name

These Are My Headlines

  • Keepin It Unreal
    I like to say I was prophetic. Okay, so maybe not. Still this is a decent piece on the beginnings of the end of gangsta rap.
  • Stanley Crouch Is A Gangsta Rapper
    Some fun at the brother's expense. This was written after he slapped up Dale Peck.
  • Confessions of a 30-Year-Old Gamer
    Here's a piece no one cared about. Meh, whatever, probably the most enjoyable article I did during my stint at TIME. Premiered a month before I got laid-off. The nail in the coffin? Ya think?
  • Rice, Rice, Baby!
    Haha! This was fun. After this, I got a bunch of wing-nuts on the internets yelling "Hands off!"' Too bad she's been so terrible at her job. Ah, well.
  • Compa$$ionate Capitali$M
    Me on Russell Simmons. fun, Fun FUN!! Seriously, I got to take a yoga class with the dude.
  • Just Another Quick-Witted, Egg-Roll-Joke-Making, Insult-Hurling, Chinese-American Rapper
    My first feature for the NY Times Magazine. Man I agonized over this one. Still, props to Paul Tough, my awesome editor on this one.
  • The Irrelevant Rev. Sharpton
    Here's me going after Al. I didn't so much have a problem with him, as I had a problem with media acting like this dude was the go-to guy for everything black.
  • Wal-Mart's Urban Romance
    This was my first real story at time. I was writing for the Business section, a real change of direction for me. At any rate, it's about Wal-Mart's attempts to colonize the inner-city. As much as I enjoyed this piece, I mostly enjoyed going out to Chicago, which is a beautiful, beautiful city.
  • Black and Blue
    This a piece I did about the cops just outside our nation capitol, in Prince George's County, a few years back. I wanted to offer a counter to the dumb, conventional wisdom that if you paint your police force black, you could eradicate police brutality. In fact, Prince George's--one of the richest, blackest counties in the country--also had one of the most brutal police force's in the country.
