So, Philly’s new mayor Michael Nutter took office this week - and what did he do at his inaugural ball at the Philadelphia Navy Yard on Monday night? Performed Sugarhill Gang’s classic “Rappers Delight” with Questlove backing him on the decks. Fucking badass. Gotta love Philly for shit like this.
I’m not the protesting type, but I do voice my opinion in my own way about the war. Expression through art is one way to make your statement heard. I love this stop sign modification found in Bloomington, Indiana by counterclockwise.
You can also wear your message through these nifty T-shirts. I have [...]
[MP3]: Gang of Four ”Not Great Men”
Tuesday’s campaign stunt by Oxfam, the day before the G8 leaders arrived in Rostock for 2007’s G8 Summit, featured the infamous ‘Big Heads’ dressed as Pinnochio - the puppet figure whose nose grew every time he told a lie.
The day before their arrival for this year’s summit, the [...]
It was released last week that Neil Young is coming out with a new album, Living with War, completed in 3 days and highlights his opposition to the Bush adminsitration, the war, and anything else bad happening in the world. Though there are only a few ears who have heard the tracks, it is [...]

We’re keepin’ it real to our ironic cracker identity: multicultural, transcontinental, now hittin’ the streets of New York homies. This marks the first of a series of reviews of hip-hop music. And when we say hip-hop, we don’t mean Kayne West. We’re talking about the lyricists emerging from the underground.
This week’s feature [...]
I’ve recently been meeting a lot of new people lately and when greeting, I’ve noticed some variations in handshakes. So this week, Mr. Manners will attempt the seemingly simple, but surprisingly challenging task of breaking down the perfect handshake.
The handshake in everyday life has kind of lost its true meaning. Such a salutation [...]

Let’s face it: It’s hard being President of the United States.
So many issues to concentrate on. So many lives influenced by the simplest stroke of your pen across a page. So many people to ask if you can go to the bathroom during a United Nations Security Council session.
Mr. Bush went on [...]
I’m glad somebody said it. On live TV, no less.
This is a must-read Tom Friedman article from the NY Times.
After being one of many Bush-apologists for ever-so-long (except — admittedly — for El Busho’s enivronmental and energy policy, or lackthereof), it’s really refreshing to see Friedman finally call W out, writ-large.
And — of course — The Daily Show can do it, too. Only [...]
