The Wayans Brothers Plan Movie Studio
The Wayans-Pacifica Capital group is trying to renegotiate the terms of an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement signed with the City of Oakland for the proposed purchase of 47 acres of old army base property because another plan by the Port of Oakland proposes to fill in 42 acres of the bay directly across from The Wayans project. This project (Berth 21) would stack storage containers on that land six to 15 stories tall and entirely blocking the view of the San Francisco skyline. The Wayans are meeting with city officials to try to draw up an alternative agreement with a new configuration of where their development would be located.
Both the bayfill and Berth 21 are mentioned in State Senator Don Perata’s Oakland Army Base Public Trust Exchange Act of 2005, which authorized the taking over of the old Army Base lands by the Port of Oakland and the City of Oakland. The Wayans Family is known for it’s 1990’s variety show “In Living Color,” as well as films “White Chicks” and “I’m Gonna Get You Sucka.”

Judge Identifies 9 Errors In Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth"
Teachers in Britain who show their students Al Gore's Oscar-winning climate change documentary must point out inaccuracies in the movie or break Britain's 1996 Education Act that bans the promotion of partisan politics at school. Stewart Dimmock, a truck driver and father of two brought the legal effort to have "An Inconvenient Truth" banned from schools in England because he felt the government of "brainwashing" students by promoting the documentary. Although his lawsuit failed, the High Court in London ruled that in order not to breach the Education Act, screenings would have to be accompanied by appropriate guidance that points out the flaws in Gore's argument.
Copies of the documentary will be shown to secondary school students aged 11-14. The Department for Children, Schools and Families' guidance is a 60-page document that goes through the film segment by segment, pointing out where Gore's assertions "do not accord with mainstream scientific opinion.” Teachers are told the documentary "promotes partisan political views," and to be careful that they do not promote those views. Teachers must also "help pupils examine the scientific evidence critically and point out where Gore's view may be inaccurate or departs from that of mainstream scientific opinion."
The guidance document, like the High Court ruling, does not call into question the underlying assertion of "An Inconvenient Truth" that most scientists believe climate change is happening; that it is caused mainly by manmade emissions of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2); and that it will have serious consequences. Burton described "An Inconvenient Truth" as powerful and highly professional, but was now commonly understood that it is a political film, "not simply a science film."

Morgan Freeman Talks Environment In Grist
"I was in New York. A bus came up and then took off, and I had to hold my breath. And I thought, you know, that's what it is. And then you start looking at places like Santiago, Los Angeles, Beijing, Singapore -- all of these places where people are literally dying from the air. Mexico City, wherever there are densities of people, we have environmental problems, and now it's pretty much global. So what are we talking here, about 25 years of concern."

Cavemen: Slick Racism or Intelligent Allegory?
Interesting Find: The show is co-executive produced and created by Joe Lawson, a fellow Wake Forest University alum of our president Norris McDonald.
Update: Saw the first episode. Not racist. Funny and possibly a platform to comment on racism and many other isms. Hope the show makes it.
"Crave the Cave"
"Sapes" (Homo sapiens)
"Keep your penis in the genus"
"Shaver"
Allegory: 1) the expression by means of symbolic fictional figures and actions of truths or generalizations about human existence 2) a symbolic representation.
We have not seen an episode of ABC Television's new 2007 sitcom "Cavemen" based on the characters from the Geico commercials. We have read plenty about it though and of course formed some opinions about the commercials. We want to dislike the show as racist for using less than fully developed human beings as representations of Black people. Such a representation is racist on its face, particularly if you believe we are all children of God.
The cast of "Cavemen" includes, from left above, Stephanie Lemelin, Dash Mihok, Nick Kroll, Bill English, Kaitlin Doubleday and John Heard (Photo courtesy Associated Press/ABC)

Bugs Bunny Was Originally Black
"All This and Rabbit Stew" features Bugs Bunny being hunted by a slow-witted Black hunter, very similar in speech pattern and mannerism to StepinFetchit. After Bugs outwits the hunter several times, Bugs wins all of his clothing through a dice game. Due to the film's stereotyping, it has not been seen on television since 1968, and is one of the "Censored Eleven" group of banned Looney Tunes shorts. After winning a dice game, Bugs wins the Black man's clothes and then runs off with them, leaving the man with nothing but a patch of leaves covering his crotch.Elmer Fudd, pictured with Bugs, was also originally black. In a 1946 Looney Tunes short "The Big Snooze," the animation of the Black hunter was redrawn into animation of a white Elmer Fudd. Of course they did leave Daffy Duck and Marvin The Martian black.

DC Soccer Stadium Doomed Because Developer Is Black
The soccer team owned by McFarlane, DC United, has proposed to pay $150 million for the stadium and is requesting $200 million in benefits from the city, such as roads, tax incentives and the right to develop nearby land. This is standard operating procedure for such projects. National Harbor in Prince George's County received $500 million in such benefits from Maryland and the county. The Nationals baseball stadium is being publicly financed for $611 million and is being constructed in record time. McFarlane also wants to build 5,000 housing units, 750,000 square feet of retail space and 659,000 square feet of office space. (Wash Post)
Okay. So Jack Kent Cooke failed too but he still built within eyesight and about 5 miles from where he proposed to build near RFK Stadium. We are still sticking with the race card. Just look around at all the other development projects that have been approved. (The Washington Post)
Michael Vick Should Not Be Destroyed Over Dog Fighting

Congress Needs The Silver Surfer For Energy Bill
The Silver Surfer wields “the power cosmic”, absorbing and manipulating the universe’s ambient cosmic energies. He can augment his strength to incalculable levels, and is almost totally indestructible. He can navigate space, hyperspace and dimensional barriers, and can fly at near-limitless speeds on his board, entering hyperspace when he exceeds light speed. He has even proven capable of time travel on occasion. The Surfer does not require food, drink, air or sleep, sustained entirely by converting matter into energy. He is immune to temperature extremes and most radiation, and can survive in vacuum environments such as outer space and hyperspace. He can analyze and manipulate matter and energy, and restructure or animate matter at will, even transmuting elements.
He can heal living beings (though he cannot raise the dead), and has proven capable of revitalizing or evolving organic life on a planet wide scale. He can alter the size of himself or of other matter, cast illusions, fire energy blasts, form and manipulate energy constructs, manipulate gravity, absorb and discharge most forms of energy, and phase through solid matter. His senses enable him to detect objects and energies light years away, and to perceive matter and energy in subatomic detail; he can even see through time, and with concentration can achieve limited perception of past and future events in his general vicinity. The Surfer has demonstrated limited telepathic ability on occasion, and has proven able to influence human emotion and sensation.

Sly & a Family Stone To Tour Europe This Summer
They are still competing with each other. There is a separate Family Stone touring that does not include Sly. Now Sly is teaming with his younger sisters (but not Rose) to perform. Come on guys and ladies. Get over yourselves and think about the fans. As Quincy said at the recording of "We Are The World," "Leave your ego at the door." Of course, Prince could not fit his ego through that door at the time. We want the original band back together backed up by the cover band. Get it together people and think about the fans.
Sly's bizarre Grammy Awards appearance showed everyone that he is a little slumped like Silvio Dante (Steven Van Zandt) in the Sopranos. That is much better than the monkey he had on his back for decades. He evidently cleaned up his act years ago and is now ready to kick it. Most of the original band showed up for the Grammy Awards, except Larry Graham. Some excuse about being sick. Larry seems to be a hold out although he has stated that he is willing to perform with Sly again. Come on Larry, you can pass out Watch Tower magazines in Europe too.
So the European tour band inclues: Sly Stone, Vet Stone, Lisa Stone, Skyler Jett, Anthoney Yates, Joseph Yates, Stefon Dubose, Mike Rinta, Johnnie Bamont, Cynthia Robinson, Tony Stead, Alfia Fisher, and Funn Roberston.
Here's the full list of dates in Sly and the Family Stone's European tour, their first on the continent since 1973:
July 13: Montreux Jazz Festival - Montreux, Switzerland
July 14: Blue Note Festival - Gent, Belgium
July 15: North Sea Jazz Festival - Rotterdam, Holland
July 19: Nice Jazz - Nice, France
July 20: Pori Jazz festival - Pori, Finland
July 23: Olympia Hall - Paris, France
July 27: Jazzaldia - San Sebastian, Spain
July 28: Opera House - Bournemouth Opera House

Unusual Sightings Of Asian Men Black Women Couples
Interracial coupling has been controversial. Laws were even passed to ban whites and blacks from marrying in the United States. Those laws were on the books until about 40 years ago. It is still a little unusual to see interracial black and white couples. That is why people still peek. Come on. You know you do. But you see black men with white women and white men with black women. You see white men with Asian women and black men with Asian women. But what you rarely if ever see are black women with Asian men.
So why do Asian men and black women avoid intimacy? Are their physical characteristics unattractive to each other. We know that love is blind and chemistry can hit anyone regardless of color lines. So why are black women and Asian men not hooking up? If you are a black woman or an Asian man and you see this, please let us know.
