Him + jail cell + cellmate = Bad ending for one of the two. Turns out the bad ending was for the cellmate, and “he,” i.e. Robert Francis, a 31-year old homeless man from St. Louis, will probably have a cell for quite a long time. (Read the full post about ‘Story’s End’…)

Wright: U.S. ‘Capable’ of Inventing HIV for Genocide
The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, former long-time pastor to Sen. Barack Obama (D.Ill.), said at the National Press Club on Monday that he believes the U.S. government is “capable” of having invented HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, as a means of committing genocide against people of color.
So, the U.S. Government has become God? This is coming from the same genius who doesn’t quite get the neuroscience of left brain-right brain heisphere dichotomy correct. Then again, who are we to argue with black science?
Here’s a hint. HIV is a virus.

Nixon announces higher ed plan
On a campaign stop at the University of Missouri-St. Louis this morning, Missouri Attorney General Jay Nixon unveiled a plan to allow some Missouri students who start out at a community college to get a four-year degree without having to pay any tuition.
Nixon, a Democrat running for governor, said his Missouri Promise plan would ensure students don’t graduate saddled with large amounts of debt from paying “outrageous tuition rates.”
Under his plan, he would expand the state’s A+ program to all Missouri high schools — not just the half currently in the program.

I was watching the first installment of PBS’s series “Carrier,” about life on the USS Nimitz. And at the end, we see that it’s sponsored by something called CSC, which we see specializes in (among other things) helping corporations outsource jobs. My first thought that it was contradictory for a firm that helps drain America to sponsor a documentary that praises American naval power, but it’s really not. They’re both in the business of promulgating “American” global hegemony, one with guns and the other with briefcases, one to bring “democracy” to Basra and the other to take your job to Bangalore. I bet a few of the sailors are sailors because firms like CSC helped move the civilian jobs they could have had overseas, so they had no other choice. (Read the full post about ‘Carried Away’…)

Speaking in Detroit, at the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People’s 53rd annual “Fight for Freedom Fund Dinner,” Rev. Jeremiah Wright took on his critics even while he spoke of a new, unified day coming.
(snip)
The bulk of his remarks addressed, however, different groups seeing each other as deficient. He acted out the differences between marching bands at predominantly black and predominantly white colleges. “Africans have a different meter, and Africans have a different tonality,” he said. Europeans have seven tones, Africans have five. White people clap differently than black people.

For 2008 was: Miley Cyrus (”Hannah Montana”) joins the Britney/Lindsay circus and gets arrested for drunk driving. No drunk driving yet, but she’s clearly headed in that direction. Because she’s slowly losing her clothes. Wouldn’t want to be Billy Ray for the next ten years.

Al Sharpton wants to “close NYC down” (good luck with that). Remember that two of the three cops were black, and that they waived a jury trial, in order to have their case heard and decided by a judge. Al Sharpton should blame the prosecutors, because they, as lawyers, couldn’t convince another lawyer beyond a reasonable doubt.
