Guess Who's Black?

RDJ.gif
I'm sure many of you have heard about the new Ben Stiller movie Tropic Thunder a spoof of Vietnam war movies. In it a well know white actor(who'll be revealed later) portrays one of the films lead characters Kirk Lazarus who by the way happens to be black.
When I got the pic from Rontronik my first reaction was shock at the perfect resemblance, an hour later Skim sent me the link with a warning of "please don't filp out". I have to tell you I'm not mad at it, black comedians have been impersonating white folks for quite some time. If this is an accurate portrayal and in the context of the character then kudos to to Robert Downey Jr. and Ben Stiller.
If it's on some Blackface S!@# then... Anywho check out the rest of the story at EW.com

No We Can't!

We can't endorse an Obama ticket with this type of garbage.
I won't front on the Hunnie factor but I can't trust Will.he.ain't with delivering a message, I thought I was watching an infomercial for Metemucil.
Is this why Obama lost Texas and Ohio? ;)

I think it's time we call on Quincy Jones to make shit right, peep his line-up.
His team was Fierce!, Fierce! 25 Year Anniversary for Thriller, still number one What Son!

Joe Louis (America's Hero Betrayed)

My dad and I always argued about who was the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time, Joe Louis or Muhammad Ali.
He's all about Joe Louis ( "You young folks don't know squat about true boxing") after watching the HBO documentary this past Monday ... Dad you may be right.

Skimkim Tomato Soup & Grilled Cheese

First things first:
GO TO WWW.SKIMKIM.COM. ITS FINALLY UP!!! I WANT HATE MAIL OR LOVELY AMOROUS MAIL. I WANT IT ALL!
I wanted to get this recipe out before Valentine's Day so that you guys could woo your lady friends...unfortunately (for you), I was preparing for V-day and belated birthday celebration of my own to Puerto Rico. Heh heh. So, I had to leave you to your own devices. I know, you were all eagerly waiting by your computers for a helping hand from Skim. Sorry.

Its been brick lately. Brick. So I decided to take a classic warming comfort food, tomato soup, and make it romantic. Many of us grew up with this dish and always had a grilled cheese to dip. So, of course, I am including that as well–cept this one has moist flavorful roast chicken to boot. Sooo good.

Puerto Rico was amazing. We flew into San Jose and took a mini-plane to Vieques, an island off the east coast. Undeveloped and gorgeous. I talked to Todd at Kingsize who was covering my shifts and he had already shoveled the sidewalk 3 times while I was busy applying lotion on my sunburnt tummy. Anyhoo, obviously, I love rubbing my beach trip into your pale, stressed out faces but let me get on with the food. My boobs are still peeling...by the way.
