Wow, that guy from Black Star is really naive. I have a hard time believing he has lived in a major city for more than a few months.

Actually, I was being sarcastic about the emoticons. I hate them too.

Will he be in blackface and full out hip-hop garb when he does it?

Nah, he'll just be the unhip white guy trying to be hip. That's sufficient comedy gold by itself.

Do you think he is trying to be the "first black vice president?"

Did he learn from the "first black president" Bill Clinton?

Or is he just now seeking his help?

Here's a recent blog article on this video that expresses much the same argument that many of us were making and raises a couple of new points as well. It's worth the read.

Thanks for posting. Enjoyed the read.

At the risk of taking this thread too far off course could someone tell me more about rat attacks? Killer Rats in Chicago sounds like fodder for an old horror movie.

I once had rats in my Lincoln Park basement that turned a wood door frame into wood chips. It actually looked like the lower two feet of the door frame had been put into a chipper. I have no idea why they did this, but they sure left a lot of droppings afterwards.

I had a rat in my apartment once. The damn thing tore apart my kitchen. We went rounds for a couple of days until the poison and trap finally worked. I can't imagine what a pack of 'em would be like (shudders).
