Mo’Nique gives Oscar winning press conference

Tags : , ,

I haven’t said anything about the Oscars, and nothing much (definitely very little positive) about “Precious.” I had issues with the movie in the context of story, subject, society, vision, community. But I certainly respected Mo’Nique’s performance. She owned it, and I wished more of her interpretation of the role was [...]

Talk to the hand

This weekend’s $100K speech at the Tea Party Convention was just one of many Sarah moments of the week topped off by the disclosure of her manual “palm pilot” to remember 3 key conservative issues of her fan base: Energy, Tax Budget Cut, Lift American Spirits.

Will someday in time people re-enact the 2008-2009 Palin [...]

Nikki Giovanni - “Alabama Poem”

Ken Burns is certainly going to try to give nature a voice in his latest epic 6-part mini-series The National Parks: America’s Best Idea. Last night (Sunday) was the premiere on PBS. Ten hours left. No better time [...]

Sony releases THIS IS IT, Michael Jackson’s last dance…?

Tuesday, 15 September 2009, 16:31 | Category : Dance, Movies, Music, People
Tags : , ,

THE SOTOMAYOR CHRONICLES
Yesterday’s hearing went on for 8 hours. I saw/heard up to 6 on the pool feed, but was fortunate to witness a reversal of fortune where life imitates art. Judge Sotomayor broke through the [...]
