I just wanted to share a few things with our readers to get your blood boiling and to perhaps get some insight on your thoughts on these issues. First up, political inconsistency courtesy of John Stewart's Daily Show or the more aptly named Sex, Lies and Videotape-the 2008 edition:
Next-Will Smith as Steve Rogers, aka Captain America? Say it ain't so! Let's hope that he is offered the Isaiah Bradley (the Tuskegee Experiment version of Cap, from The Truth graphic novel series) role. I'm all for open-minded casting choices but this would be a stretch.
And to further bounce around from politics and geekdom topics, check out this funky confrontation between my fellow conservatives of color (at last week's RNC-not their finest moment) and Youtube's popular progressive bunch, The Young Turks:
Shay Riley of the Booker Rising blog was as expected, highly poised but the gentleman from the Hip Hop Republican site was disappointing. But hey.....these things happen.
Check out part two, this time with another member of the Hip Hop Republican team who was far more amenable:
Hip Hop Republicans Part 2
Have you guys heard about the Obama Muslim religion admission? Thankfully, this verbal slip is already dissipating:
Obama’s ‘My Muslim Faith’ Gaffe Fuels New Round of Rumor-Busting
And lastly, don't forget to check for another Afronerd appearance on Wednesday's bloggers roundtable on NPR's News and Notes.
