I know, I'm late on knowing about it but, yeah they have some really funny shit that i could not think of. I especially liked the ones entitled "Poll: Bullshit most important issue for 2008" "Our troops send peace goodwill and body armor" and "Al Queda also fed up with ground zero construction delays" See those videos here http://www.theonion.com/content/video/our_troops_send_holiday_wishes - Ryan Wishing you a happy Kwanzaa a few days early.

As much as I respect him there still remains contradictions as there will always be. Despite the detailed principles of Kwanzaa, the holiday has turned into another consumerist culture like Christmas. It just reminds me to open up my "The Grinch who stole Christmas" by Dr. Seuss and remember the foundation of our values. Questions will always remain: http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID=%7BC1BE0055-47E8-454E-9062-90A6F9FE5B97%7D December 16, 2007 1:21 PM What you've all been waiting for... the Break The Silence 11-29-07 pictures are finally up!

Thank you Matt in the Hat. December 6, 2007 10:57 AM Ryan said...thanks Matt. December 10, 2007 12:41 PM Lately I've been noticing that WeFunkRadio has been planning to come out with a line of new shirts, featuring James Brown's famous song/quote "'Say It Loud' I'm Black and Proud." Checking the new line out, I ran into this article on the wefunk's front page that analyzed and commented James Brown's lyrics for his one song "Escape-ism" (there's two versions of the song, there's a regular edited version and a 19 minute one, this article covers the 19 minute long one).
In this article, the writer analyzes Brown's lyrics and points out Brown's example of Escape-ism. Check it out if you ever get time. link: http://www.kalamu.com/bol/2007/04/08/james-brown-%E2%80%9Cescape-ism%E2%80%9D-complete-take/ -matt n. 1 comments: Anonymous said... Mr. Matt, I skimmed through the article. But I will be asking you about it in full detail another time. I am intrigued by this concept of Escape-ism but I am a lazy sloth and too inundated with life--so much so that I will refuse to search the concept on Google.
