Wave Your Flag

Man, I’m so sad I can’t be on the Eastern Parkway this year. Fuck Republicans in Penn Station or terrorists in limousines, this year feels like it might be historic or something.

For one, Kevin Lyttle opened Top 10, which has to be the biggest soca debut in the history of the universe. The shift back from “fiyah bu’n” to “dancehall nice again” means that everyone, even Beenie Man, seems to have stepped up their game to please the audience. Then you’ve got the year of the dancehall diva–Tanya Stephens, Lady Saw, Ms. Thing, the list goes on.

While we’re on the topic, Tanya Stephens is the Joni Mitchell or maybe the Betty Davis of dancehall. Lady Saw is the Madonna of dancehall, and deserves her own MTV opener with Lil Kim and Foxy Brown. And Ms. Thing, well, she’s the Vanity 6 of dancehall.

Stelfox, holla!

Paul C and DT

One of the best hip-hop pieces ever written, by the great Dave Tompkins. Also one of the best edited pieces ever, thanks to Crunkster, aka Jazzbo.

This came from 360hiphop.com. (Ask somebody!) It’s true that all of us that got to witness and be a part of something like that still feel a little bit of awe and responsibility. So I’m dusting off the pieces we did in the politics section and will place a bunch of stuff up on the cantstopwontstop.com website when it goes up this fall. Can’t wait for yall to see some of those…

On A Mission From God

Now the neo-prog has a real neo-con to run against. Perennial failed Republican presidential candidate Alan Keyes brings his baggage from Maryland to Illinois to run against our man Obama. Hey, God doesn’t call it carpetbagging!

Does Keyes also claim Divine Inspiration for this campaign finance innovation?

Someone call McCain and Feingold. Please. Quick.

Bush Tells The Truth

“Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we,” Bush said. “They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.”

Code Orange

So Tom Ridge, who, as of Friday, reports had leaving his post because he needed to get a job that would make him enough money to put his kids through college (guess the tax cuts didn’t help him neither!), says today that yup the intelligence is three or four years old and was “updated as recently as January”.

The only question now is whether he’s committing career suicide or the Reeps are pushing him overboard in order to get the kind of clampdown they need come August 28, when a million protesters get to New York City. (There were only 6 arrests for protest-related stuff at the DNC.)

In the meantime, for all you Behold a Pale Horse types, note this:

The RNC has been classified by the Dept. of Homeland Security as a “National Special Security Event”. This means Ridge and the Dept. of Homeland Security is adding Federal resources and coordinating with the NYPD, Secret Service, the FBI, and–whoa!–FEMA around planning for the RNC. The potential conspiracies boggle the mind!

Spinning The Balloons

Uh yeah, we meant to do that.

By the way, no truth to the rumors that FCC agents had taken Don Mischer into custody. Yet.
