Is It Just Me ...? Or Does It Look Like Sista Kidnapped These Babies?

Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon is featured on the cover of the upcoming issue of Jet Magazine.

Babies look like massa ... I mean daddy.

Garcelle posed for Playboy last year, at the tender age of 40.

It's one of my favorite blogs, but I can't read it at work because of posts like this. LOL

Keep writing the good stuff, and I'll keep reserving my visits for after-work hours. :-)

PS: I recently hipped a coworker to the world of blogs. He asked me to send a few of my favorites after he got hooked on mine and others. I gave him fair warning to "scroll very slowly" if he intends to read your stuff at work. hehe; Mar 24, 2008, 9:51:00 PM

"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."

The founders of the American state understood that the proper functioning of a democracy required an educated electorate. It is this understanding that justifies a system of public education and that led slaveholders to resist the spread of literacy among their chattels. But the meaning of "educated" has changed beyond recognition in two hundred years. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are no longer sufficient to decide on public policy. Now we need quantum mechanics and molecular biology. The knowledge required for political rationality, once available to the masses, is now in the possession of a specially educated elite, a situation that creates a series of tensions and contradictions in the operation of representative democracy.

"At present the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars.. War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. The state of affairs might be unpleasant, but what of it?"
