The Cleats Drop

Bonds.

Sheffield.

Giambi (Jason). Much as I love Bonds, this is the dude I feel for the most. Although he abandoned the A’s for the Bronx Chokers, the media has already sharpened their knives and the town lynching won’t be pretty.

The 974th Version of "Ikaw" + Blogreading Fun

Gotta big up Audrey’s post on the phenomenon of balikbayan stars.

More blog-reading heaven:

+ Tiny talks Nixon, Jabberjaw, and mid-sized dreams. (Bonus: midwestern ass!)

+ I’m late to the game again, but what a discussion: Julianne (and again here) and Lynne and Hashim and Catchdubs on sexism and hip-hop. It’s not all been said, and it needs to be read. As always, check the comments too…(Note to self: figure out a way to make it to Chicago again in April for this, and thank my homegirl again.)

+ Finally, on some stupid ignant shit, looks like some fools done put their hands in my man’s hive. Whoo-ee. Bad move, great blogging. Bonus: it all ends with a dope Q+A.

Hooverism

The ACLU has filed suit to expose the FBI’s spying of activists under the guise of anti-terrorism work. More info here and here.

I’m still catching up yall–lots of music and politics, not to mention straight-up work–so here’s some more great reading here. If you can find the Big Ideas 2005 Issue on the newsstands, pick it up.

Iraq, Inc.

My brain has been underwater for 2 weeks, so please give me a few to catch up with the land world.

In the meantime, read this. Iraq, Inc. is an account of the corporate war on Iraq. BKLY colleague Pratap Chatterjee is a genius journalist, a brilliant reporter, a nonpareil researcher, a fantastic writer, and a cool dude. If you remember Naomi Klein’s account of the neocons’ free-market Year Zero in Harper’s a few months back (Update: It’s now online here, thanks to Steady Blogging for the link!), Pratap’s book offers a more complete picture. If you can’t wait to get the book, get a taste here and here.
