Good Advice For Stupid Crackers
Finally! Black people explain to slow white people what and what not to do: "If you write an article that results in a mass of people denouncing your article and possibly yourself as racist, it's not going to be for some arbitrary reason. Though it won't be comfortable, you need to accept the idea that you may have done what it is you are being accused. Calling the large group of people whom you offended irrational is not going to help." Ha, you think? (via)
It's Gucci Time (Six Months in Lockdown)

And this is the second time this has happened to the 29-year-old Gucci-four years ago, the buzz from his first hit, "Icy" was squelched when he was arrested on a murder charge that was eventually dropped.

("I dunno, call Andre Leon Talley and whoever else one calls usually. Surprise me! Then quote... um, Keith Kelly-he's still alive, right?") But you know: could have been anyone (amped up on a few hits of nitrous) really. Anyway, someone give this funny lady and her funny friends a blog!

Goldman Sachs, up $7 per share in morning trading! On pure speculation about its earnings report, which will be issued tomorrow! One way the Times describes the GS share price is that it is up 68% this year. Well. I prefer to think of it as "down $100 a share from two years ago." In any event, we will find out tomorrow just how rich they currently feel. The rumor-speculation is: very rich indeed. Also this morning, Goldman Sachs issued an enthusiastic "buy" endorsement of JP Morgan... and Discover? Goldman's reasoning? READ MORE
