Just found out that Ving Rhames is going to play Kojak in a new television movie.

My eyebrows went up for a minute, but I like it. Rhames is one of the more underrated actors in Hollywood.

He's got Mission Impossible 3 with Tom Cruise ahead of him first, but who loves ya, baby?

While I'm at it, what makes Charlize Theron think she can play the lead in the live action version of Aeon Flux?

Laurence over at This Blog is Full of Crap has it right.

I mean, Mary-Kate Olsen just needs to lose another 10 pounds and she'll fit into the costume, right?

I wondered how long it would take before the NAACP began to go after black conservative organizations like Project 21.

NAACP president Kweisi Mfume did just that in a speech Monday at their national convention in Philadelphia.

Kweisi Mfume, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, condemned the groups as a "collection of black hustlers" who have adopted a conservative agenda in return for "a few bucks a head."

"When the ultraconservative right-wing attacker has run out of attack strategy, he goes and gets someone that looks like you and me to continue the attack," Mfume said in his opening address to the NAACP's annual convention.

"They've financed a conservative coalition of make-believe black organizations, all of them hollow shells with more names on the letterhead than there are people in their membership," he said.

Paraphrasing a line from a 2002 speech by NAACP Chairman Julian Bond, he said, "And like the ventriloquist's dummies, they sit there in the puppet master's voice, but we can see whose lips are moving, and we can hear his money talk."

In a speech punctuated by cheers from the audience, Mr. Mfume said: "They can't deal with the leaders we choose for ourselves, so they manufacture, promote and hire new ones."

After I stopped laughing, I jokingly implored him, "Pay ME! PLEASE pay me!"

No. I'm not paid to be a member of Project 21.

I wouldn't mind being paid to write columns, and I'm slowly working on getting that under my belt, but I'm not paid to be a member or Project 21. I gladly serve on the national advisory board, and happily speak on their behalf to the press.

I do this of my own volition, hard as that might be for some folks to believe.

David Almasi, director of Project 21, acknowledged there is "probably" an ideological divide between his group and the NAACP but said Project 21 is financially independent from political parties.

"We take no marching orders from anyone," he said.

"We have received money from people who are Republican, but not from the Republican Party," said Almasi. "But think about the idea that, at one point, Jesse Jackson was getting some of his travel paid for by the Democratic National Committee."

And the NAACP, of course, still claims to be "non-partisan."

Non-partisan my eye...

Illinois Republicans are working feverishly to draft former Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka to replace Jack Ryan as the GOP nominee on the ballot for the US Senate seat up for grabs this fall.

Ryan withdrew his name from the ballot after a sexual scandal came to light involving Ryan and his television actress ex-wife, Jeri Ryan (from Star Trek: Voyager and Boston Public). However, as of this past weekend, Ryan had not officially removed his name from the ballot.

While on the other hand, Da Coach is said to be seriously considering entering the race. DraftDitka.com is pushing for more support across the state.

'Da Coach' was just on Fox News in the Morning from Chicago. He said that he is 'Thinking about Running' and that he is interested! We have come very far in the past week, but now we need to get the push over the top. We need more signatures on the Petition. We want to present them to him this week and we need your help.

Da Coach will do this if we push him!

Daniel Pipes points out the "eclectic" list of contributors -- all with potentially (and nebulously) Islamist ties -- to the Congressional reelection campaign of noted moonbat Cynthia McKinney. McKinney was defeated two years ago by Democrat Denise Majette in the Democratic primary; Majette handily won the 2002 general election for the seat in Georgia's 4th Congressional district.

We all knew that Cynthia McKinney would be drawing on Arab and Muslim supporters in her bid to return to Congress, but a listing of contributors(with information up through June 2 reveals to what an extraordinary extent this is the case, as shown by the names of her backers.

Hani Y. Awadallah – president, Arab American Civic Organization, New Jersey.

Jesse Aweida – co-founder, American Task Force on Palestine.

Belal Dalati – a vice president of Arab-American Broadcasting Co. (Orange County Register, February 19, 2002) associated with the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

Hasan Elkhatib –member, board of directors, American Islamic Educational Foundation (MetroWest Jewish News, October 10, 1996)

Yaser Elmenshawy - chairman, Islamic Council of New Jersey.

Rafeeq Jaber – president, Islamic Association for Palestine, a Hamas offshoot.

Oussama Jammal – president, Bridgeview Mosque.

Samer Khalaf – chairman, American-Arab Anti Discrimination Committee's Political Outreach Committee in New Jersey.

Faroque Khan – president, Islamic Center of Long Island, also connected to the American Muslim Alliance and Islamic Society of North America.

Mahmoud A Nimer - member, board of directors, Islamic Academy of Florida, Tampa (an Islamic school established by Sami al-Arian; al-Arian's indictment indicates the school was used as a base of support for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad).

Ayman Osman - member, board of directors, Islamic Academy of Florida, Tampa; employer of Hatem Fariz, arrested on terrorism charges and charged with being a member of Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

Talat Othman - former chairman of the Islamic Free Market Institute; secretary/treasurer of the American Task Force on Palestine.

Khalid Qazi – former president, American Muslim Council of western New York State.

Hareth Raddawi - member, board of directors, American-Arab Anti Discrimination Committee, Chicago.

Allam Reheem - former member, board of directors, Islamic Academy of Florida, Tampa.

Talal Sunbulli – former chairman, Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago.

James Zogby – president, Arab American Institute.

McKinney in the past has encouraged and pushed the agenda of the tin-foil wearing conspiracy theorists, while at the same time spending more time and effort on supporting people outside the United States than those in her own district.

I've started receiving nasty e-mails again from folks who have read my columns from a few years back that were very critical of McKinney. So she's pulling out all the stops to try to get back into Congress. And so are her supporters.

The Georgia primaries are a week from tomorrow (7/20); if there's a runoff, it'll come the first week of August. McKinney has a number of people that she's competing against in that Democratic primary.

Most political watchers are anticipating the runoff; if McKinney wins, most likely she would retake the seat in November, giving radical Islamists their own representative in the US Congress. One who simply does not have the interests of citizens of the United States at heart.

Singer Bobby Brown was relased from the Fulton County jail in Atlanta last night, after posting $2,000 bond on a charge of hitting his wife, singer Whitney Houston in their Alpharetta home last fall.

A Fulton County judge found that enough evidence existed to bring Brown to trial, and ordered that Brown surrender himself by midnight last night. Brown showed up with less than four hours to spare.

His lawyer arrived with him, and stayed with him while he was fingerprinted and photographed. After posting his bond, Brown was released.

NAACP head Julian Bond, in the Sunday night keynote speech of the group's annual convention in Philadelphia, lashed out once again at Republicans in general, and President Bush in particular.

"They preach racial neutrality and practice racial division," Bond said Sunday night in the 95th annual convention's keynote address. "They've tried to patch the leaky economy and every other domestic problem with duct tape and plastic sheets. They write a new constitution of Iraq and they ignore the Constitution here at home."

The organization has called Bush's refusal an insult to all black Americans (as if anyone stopped to ask me), and is at least partly responsible for the very public excoriation by liberal black elected and civil rights officials across the nation against the President.

Actor Brent Spiner (Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation) is slated to appear on at least three episodes of Star Trek Enterprise this fall as the grandfather of Data's creator, Dr. Noonien Soong.

The Enterprise episodes most likely will air during the November sweeps period.

Excuse me while I find a Louisville Slugger to take to Rick Berman and Brannon Braga's pointy little heads.

No offense to Spiner -- he's a great actor, and his portray of Data in Next Gen is quality work. But Berman and Braga are continuing to shove the Star Trek franchise down the toilet of inadequacy and oblivion.

My wife's family reunion was this weekend - it was wonderful to see folks that I hadn't seen in a long time. It was the 75th annual reunion for my wife's family, and we hosted the gathering of about 170 people here in Atlanta.

One of my wife's cousins brought a bootlegged copy of Fatass' Fahrenheit 9/11 with him. We sat down in the den at my In-Laws' to watch, the disgust evident on my face as I settled down in the back of the room.

My sister-in-law, who is convinced that each and every white person on the face of the planet is out to get her, sat off to my right on the other side of my father-in-law, lapping every lie that spewed out of Fatass' mouth.

I began to doze about fifteen minutes in, and got up at some point awhile later when my own snoring woke me up.

She-who-must-obeyed found me about a half-hour later in one of the bedrooms where I had retired with a book off of the living room, where the kids all enjoyed Spongebob or Recess or some other cartoon -- it certainly sounded better as background noise than Michael Moore's constant lies and exoriations of the Bush Administration.

"I woke myself up snoring," I told her. "Plus my butt went to sleep."

She rolled her eyes. "Boring," she said.

"Yeah, and full of innuendo," I replied.

"Yeah! Just full of it! I don't blame you for getting up. I was a little bit more comfortable in the chair I was in -- I could sleep a little better," she said. "I don't understand how people could go see that crap."

"I do," I replied. "Back to that hatred thing again. Although, if I paid money to see that thing -- as if -- I'd be highly pissed."

The less my wife and I say about our conservatism to some of our family members, the better. Besides, I got the last laugh. A number of folks came up to me over the weekend and asked me about my television appearances on behalf of Project 21 for MSNBC and Fox News Channel.

If I get even one person to stop and think for a moment about what I am saying in my writings and in my television apparances, then I think I've done my job well. Given the e-mails and personal communications I receive on the positive side? I'm doing OK -- hate-mail notwithstanding.

When interviewed on CNN's Larry King Live last night, Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry admitted that he did not have time for a briefing -- even though he did have time to appear at a New York fundraiser and show up on stage, guitar in hand.

Kerry made the startling comments on CNN's LARRY KING LIVE Thursday night.

KING: News of the day, Tom Ridge warned today about al Qaeda plans of a large-scale attack on the United States. Didn't increase the -- you see any politics in this? What's your reaction?

KERRY: Well, I haven't been briefed yet, Larry. They have offered to brief me. I just haven't had time.

And this man wants to be President?

UPDATE: When I grow up, I wanna be able to rip somebody a new one with the same style and finesse and sheer, unadulterated rapier wit of Jay G.

5 O.K let me get this straight. You lot are lambasting John Kerry for saying he did not have the time to go to a security briefing yet went on stage with an electric guitar (and a nice looking one) while you support a president who spends more time on holiday per year than the vast majority of Americans do in 5, and a president who lied to the whole world about Iraq, commited electoral fraud 4 years ago and who cannot eat a pretzel and watch a football match at the same time?????

Posted by: Nick Saunders at July 12, 2004 04:15 AM (iVygw)

6 "Intelligence failures" do not equal "lies." "Intelligence failures did not start with Bush 43. GW's time "on vacation" was in line with most other presidents (including Clinton). Bush did not commit electoral fraud; the Electoral College elected him in a process that was delineated by the US Constitution more than 200 years ago. That most people do not understand that four years after the fact is maddening at best. And if choking on food disqualifies one for anything, then a lot of folks would most likely not qualify for anything, let alone president.

Posted by: mhking at July 12, 2004 04:30 AM (hcPGf)

7 Hipocrisy is rampant on both sides, and this faux outrage is but another example. Bush gets repeated CIA briefings during the summer of 2001 that state an attack on the US is imminent, then goes on vacation for a month. That, of course, is okey dokey. Junior needs his rest, and it was really a "working" vacation. Sure. Nothing to see here. Kerry, on the other hand, is (gasp!) campaigning in an election year. If this "new" risk is so serious, why hasn't the risk level been raised? How on earth is Bush able to leave Washington to go yak at the good folks in Pennsylvania? Are Condi and Tom Ridge riding on the plane? Didn't think so. It's all BS, I just wish Kerry had the balls to say so. We're going to hear this endlessly until November - "we have blah, blah, non-specific information that terrorists want to attack the US, blah, blah and your government, led by the Valiant Commander Codpiece and Capable Uncle Dick, is protecting you, blah, blah, blah." And no, I don't "hate Murka" for writing this. It's just that this is getting soooo boring.

Posted by: dave at July 12, 2004 06:51 AM (XqnFA)

8 "GW's time 'on vacation' was in line with most other presidents (including Clinton)."? According to http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/1999/08/21/politics/main34415.shtml Clinton had spent "152 days on holiday over his two terms." Now that was as of December 13, 1999, so he still had a year to go. Even if he had taken that entire last year off, I don't think he would have caught up to Bush (too lazy to do the math, sorry ) That URL also has some interesting statistics regarding past Presidents, but that's beside the point. According to http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12271,1190302,00.html Bush had spent more than 40% of his time (as of April 12, 2004) on vacation. Granted, "in-line" is a somewhat subjective term, but ((3*365)+31+29+31+30-20)*0.4 = 478 days in a little over three years doesn't come close to 152 days in a little under 7 years. Have a nice day, Evan

Wizbang is reporting this morning that most (if not all) conservative bloggers who applied for credentials to the Democratic National Convention have had their applications turned down.

Is anybody really surprised?

The notion of allowing bloggers in is tenuous at best. (I know there are some who will make a big deal about it -- and I'll admit that I was among the first folks who actually posted to the electronic world at a political convention, most notably the '88 Democratic Convention back when I was on The Source).

The concept is not entirely new, Sherwin Levinson, Diane Worthington and Mike Greenly did it (also on The Source, they and CompuServe were the only game in town as far as what we now know as the Internet back then) in '84 at the San Francisco convention.

But everyone is making a big deal now because the National Committees are actively seeking bloggers to participate.

The DNC has posted a half-assed apology to those who didn't make the cut, but we all know the truth: They are only looking for a cheering section, no "visitors from the other team" allowed.

Big deal.

C-Span, PBS, FNC, MSNBC & CNN will be gavel-to-gavel. The alphabet networks are gonna showcase the "stars" of the convention with an hour each night.

The rest of us? We'll be online, jabbering away as usual. And we'll be able to get the real story, even though we won't be in Boston. The "Edison Carter future" of personal reporting is still coming. And the Democrats can't do a damn thing about it.

UPDATE: Here's a partial list of credentialed bloggers bound for Boston.

Terrorist thugs have appeared yet again on Al Jazeera in a familiar tableau: A hostage in an orange jumpsuit kneels before three masked gunmen. The threat? Same as always. Get out of Iraq, or this guy loses his head.

In the video broadcast by Al-Jazeera television, the group claimed to have already killed an Iraqi security guard who was accompanying the Filipino, the newscaster said. The statement gave no details of his capture.

Three armed and masked men stood behind the seated hostage, threatening to kill him if the Philippines doesn't pull out within three days. A banner on the wall behind them identified the captors as a previously unknown group, the Iraqi Islamic Army-Khaled bin al-Waleed Corps.

Thursday, the Philippines government suspended further deployment of Filipinos to Iraq. Philippines officials did not provide details but said the Cabinet would meet later in the day to discuss the situation.

Yeah. Right. She caved. Which means we'll see more of this kind of crap.

US Marine Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun is at the US Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon according to US officials today.

Hassoun had been presumably in the hands of Al Qaeda-associated terrorists. However other information implies that the Hassoun case may be a part of an elaborate hoax.

Late Wednesday, FBI agents showed up at the Hassoun family home in West Jordan, Utah. And Pentagon officials tell NBC News that the Navy has now launched a criminal investigation into Hassoun's disappearance, and the possibility that his kidnapping may be part of an elaborate hoax.

Unconfirmed reports indicate that Hassoun may have been AWOL prior to the alleged kidnapping.

Curiouser and curiouser this becomes. Something is defiitely rotten in Lebanon.

One of the reasons that the Soul Patrol hates George W. Bush came to light today, when the President declined an invitation to speak at the NAACP's annual convention in Philadelphia next week.

Candidate George W. Bush spoke at the 2000 NAACP confab, but has turned down invitations from the group each year of his presidency.

And since Bush refuses to come and kiss Julian Bond's ring, Bond has continued to rail against Republicans in general and Bush in particular. Bond's excoriations of Republicans fly in the face of claims that the NAACP is a non-partisan group. Bond is President of the NAACP.

In June, Bond compared Republicans to terrorists.

"Their idea of equal rights is the American flag and the Confederate swastika flying side by side," Bond told a cheering audience. "They've written a new constitution for Iraq and ignore the Constitution here at home. They draw their most rabid supporters from the Taliban wing of American politics. Now they want to write bigotry back into the Constitution."

"We have a president who talks like a populist and governs for the privileged," Bond said. "We were promised compassionate conservatism; instead, we got crummy capitalism."

Oh. And Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry? He'll be speaking to the convention on their final day, next Thursday. If past history is any indication, Kerry will pander to the crowd and the attendees will lap it up.

Then, they claim to be non-partisan.

Perhaps the IRS should look into those claims. After all, if they are truly as partisan as they continue to appear, then they shouldn't enjoy an exemption from taxes.

From my comments on Michelle Malkin's comment section this morning:

I'm furious.

I'm beside myself.

I have to endure being called Uncle Tom and Oreo and other such things on an ongoing basis. I have to live with and through my family and friends being desirous of having my head examined for being conservative day in and day out. I have to listen to moonbats invade my blog and insist that I'm an "unwitting tool" of conservatives (after, since I'm black, I couldn't ever have an ORIGINAL thought of my own!).

Now I'm supposed to sit still while white trash idiots who draw worse than my two year-old insult not only my intelligence, but my race as well?

Notice the crickets coming from the Soul Patrol? They wouldn't dare attack one of their own.

I guess it's supposed to be OK, since Rall is calling a black conservative that vile name.

I get upset when I hear blacks use that term; I'm supposed to sit still when idiots like Rall use it? When did he get a pass to be offensive? And when did the Universal Press and the 140 newspapers that run Rall's excuse for a column get a pass to use the term?

Michelle, if there's any list you are spearheading, any sort of extra means you have at your disposal that I can add my name to, please allow me to do so.

I'm beyond and beside myself with anger over this thing!

David Hyde Pierce (top left), Tim Curry and Hank Azaria will be playing Sir Robin, King Arthur and Sir Lancelot (respectively) in Spamalot, the Broadway musical version of Monty Python & the Holy Grail when it hits the stage in December.

Casting has finally shown up for the December premiere of the musical in Chicago.

(David Hyde) Pierce, who was Dr. Niles Crane in the long-running U.S. sitcom "Frasier," will play Sir Robin. (Tim) Curry, known for his star turn in the cult film, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," will play King Arthur. (Hank) Azaria, best known as the voice of Moe the bartender on the animated series "The Simpsons," will portray Sir Lancelot.

The corresponding film roles were performed by Eric Idle, Graham Chapman and John Cleese of the British comedy troupe.

And as luck would have it, I'm going home for Christmas this year. I wonder if my brother can get me tickets...

Spamalot premieres in Chicago December 21, 2004, to January 16, 2005, before beginning Broadway previews on February 7.

But the worst part of it is that he'll get a pass, even from the NAAC(Liberal)P. Why? Because he's liberal, and he's railing against and about an "Aunt Jemima" who's "sold out her soul" to the "white devils."

"Hi, my name is Michael, and I'm a football addict."

"Hi, Michael..."

The National Football League and the Canadian Football League announced an extension of their joint working arrangement started in 1997. The extension ties the two leagues at the hip through at least 2006.

"The Canadian Football League is in a new and stronger position," CFL commissioner Tom Wright said in a statement. "We look forward to the continued development of our game in Canada with recent solid results as our foundation."

NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue agreed.

"We support the CFL and its unique role in Canada, and share its goal of strengthening the interest and support of football among Canadians," he said in a statement. "As partners we have worked successfully to strengthen the sport of football in Canada, and the NFL looks forward to working with the CFL to build on these programs."

The CFL will benefit from increased exposure in the US, with live games running on a non-exclusive basis on the NFL Network. CFL games already run on NESN, MSG, Empire and Fox Sports New York.
