Guess what the coolest thing is about this news story.

Friday, February 25th, 2011

Watch below. Then tell me what the coolest thing is about it.

Is is that it is somehow cheesy and tear jerking at the exact same time? No.

Is it that he gets down on town knees instead of one knee? No. Although I am partial to that, because that’s how I proposed to my wife. But with me it wasn’t a choice. I just forgot it was only supposed to be one knee.

Give up? IT’S THAT IT ISN’T ABOUT INTERRACIAL LOVE!!! Can you believe it? It’s just about unique marriage proposals, cancer, and something called “keratin”. And it’s from Cleveland. Not truly liberal cities like Los Angeles or New York or San Francisco* or Portland.** Cleveland may vote democratic, but it ain’t exactly progressive. And Ohio is a swing state. I’m SUUUUUURE there are people in the Cleveland area who saw this story, spit out their tea (party) and were like, “HEEEELL NO!”

Now THIS is some Post-Racial America!

*There may not be enough black people with jobs in San Francisco to make this story possible.
** There certainly aren’t enough in Portland.

And I thought the beach at sunset was enough.

FNGTAC Podcast #8 – The Obamanomenon: The State of “The State of The Union”

Saturday, February 5th, 2011

On this episode Vernon & me finally have our long awaited Obama conversation. It happened minutes after Obama’s second State of The Union Address and there was much to discuss: Obama & technology, Obama and Michelle, Obama and his new theme music, Obama and Black people, Obama and crazy white people, Obama Now vs. Obama Then. Yup, it’s Obama on and on until the break of dawn. (Say that last sentence out loud. It sounds really cool.) And on this episode, Vernon & me also  have some special guests in the form of several other of America’s “first Black presidents.”

Dude, you're still using IE6? WTF? Seriously, get with the times. Either upgrade to IE7 (or 8), or switch to something that doesn't suck, like Firefox.
