McCain Winning Coveted "Stock Photos" Demographic?
Apparently, the Republicans couldn't find very many African American supporters to show on the Big Screen Of Triumph, when introducing McCain (see 6:45, 7:02)... so they simply put up stock photos of black people.

Maybe they wanted to use a picture of Walter Reed Medical Center, but then they found out it had columns.

Hip Hop vs. America II: Where Did the Love Go?
I watch this year's segments and it left a bitter taste in my mouth. So to satisfy the constant rage that is built up inside of me I had to release myself in a way where I can remain furious and passionate about the issue but slowly my thoughts go. Just like a tea kettle releasing steam to notify it's makers that whatever is inside of it is ready but all at the same time retaining its flavor, taste, deliciousness, and identity. In other words I wrote about it. I watch this year's segments and it left a bitter taste in my mouth. So to satisfy the constant rage that is built up inside of m... more
