They say James “Toofer” Spurlock isn’t “black.” Which is funny, because he’s black. Sure, he’s just a character on “30 Rock.” But he stands for the broader category of the race traitor: the African-American who went to Harvard, sang Madonna’s “Like a Prayer” with the Kroks, and turned his back on black culture.The same category doesn’t really exist within the white community...
...eyesight of Grammy-nominated rocker Jeff Healey before he turned 1. So at 3 he started playing the guitar on his lap, a style that became his trademark. As a teen, he gigged in Toronto clubs before starting his best-known group, the Jeff Healey Band. The blues-rock trio, who got a boost from their role in the Patrick Swayze film Road House, made it big with the achy, affecting 1989 hit Angel Eyes.

The people who would benefit most from it have no time to attend. But coupled with the network of people actively interested in making certain that Harvard students have somewhere...
...Alaska Senator's campaign got a blip of national attention over a surreal campaign YouTube video in which he stares at the camera, throws a rock in the water and walks away. "Two young teachers said I'd like to shoot a video. I said, 'What do they want me to do?' They said, 'Throw a rock in the water.' I said, 'Great. I'll give them an hour.' So I look in the camera for a full minute and all I can think is I look dumb as s--t," Gravel says...
