I’m busier than a one-legged man in a butt kicking contest, but I wanted to toss something out there.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but look at the noses of both figures in this pic. The figure on the left is Radovan Karadizic. The figure on the right is who folks are saying is Radovan Karadizic.

Is it just me or do those noses look different? Look at the nostrils. Or maybe he got a nose job?

Better yet, look at the eyes too.

I’m just saying.

Or maybe I’m looking these pics too hard.

I didn’t watch CNN’s “Black in America. Nine times out of ten, it’s also running on CNN International, but probably at 2AM or something…and I’m not fighting sleep to watch it.

I have noticed that a lot of folks seem outraged by the special, like over at Superhussy:

I have posted about the CNN debacle documentary elsewhere, to sum up: it was a re-hash of the same ‘ole, same ‘ole, did not reflect my black experience, black women were skewered, it was not really meant for black folks (personally, I think it was created to make a some suits feel good about doing something to help the negro problem), did not showcase enough of black womens intellectual input (even in a segment about women, hmm?) and, as usual, the male portion of the program was much better than the female/family portion.

Although I do understand the outrage, I must ask what did folks expect? Did anyone really believe that a two-part special from mainstream media would dig deeper into race in the US than what I’ve read it did? Better question: Has any network, even BET, captured The Black Experience (TM) in the way it deserves?

G-d bless CNN for trying. Now let’s move on.

P.S. Happy anniversary Superhussy!:-)

I’m testing out Y!Live from the j-o-b. Shhhhhh.:-)

The Nation has a wonderful tribute to Tony Snow, who died today after a long battle with cancer:

Unlike his predecessor, Scott McClellan, who has acknowledged that he was duped by the sleazier elements (Scooter Libby, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney) in the White House, and his successor, Dana Perino, who might charitably be described as “ridiculous,” Snow was a mature adult who was not going to be duped and who cared enough about his reputation to offer up a rare commodity from this administration: honesty.

Snow’s death, at age 53, after a long struggle with cancer, robbed the party to which he was resolutely loyal and the movement to which he was sincerely committed of one of its most serious and effective communicators.
