YES IT’S STILL ALIVE!
The Rev. Al Sharpton is demanding that The New York Post, which has come under fire in the past for racially tinged cartoons, explain what it meant in its latest controversial offering.Played prominently on today’s editorial pages, the cartoon depicts two police officers – one with his smoking gun drawn – standing over what appears to be a dead chimpanzee in a pool of blood. One officer says to the other: “Now they’ll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill.â€It begs the question: Are they referring to the dead chimp as the president of the United States?Without jumping to conclusions, I tried to determine what the $787 billion stimulus package signed into law yesterday and the police shooting of a raging mad chimpanzee have in common.  The Rev. Al Sharpton appears to be a bit puzzled as well.  “Being that the stimulus bill has been the first legislative victory of President Barack Obama (the first African American president) and has become synonymous with him it is not a reach to wonder whether the Post cartoonist was inferring that a monkey wrote it?â€
The Rev. Al Sharpton is demanding that The New York Post, which has come under fire in the past for racially tinged cartoons, explain what it meant in its latest controversial offering.
“On its face, it appears that the Post is not only calling Obama an ape, but a dead ape. “The cartoon in today’s New York Post is troubling at best, given the racist attacks throughout history that have made African-Americans synonymous with monkeys,†Sharpton writes on his National Action Network website. “One has to question whether the cartoonist is making a less than casual inference to this form of racism when, in the cartoon, the police say after shooting a chimpanzee, ‘now they will have to find someone else to write the stimulus bill, Sharpton writes.

THE POPRAH SHOW!
Kimberly Kearney bka Poprah has a new reality show coming out and no it’s not the one she was rumored to have on VH1.
Check out what her people sent to me:
Poprah is also lending her expertise and name
recognition to a historic new reality show called The Write Stuff that
will debut during the summer of 2009 in over 20 cities throughout the
country on the CW Network. Executive Produced by Cyrus A. Webb of Shadow
Play Entertainment and Celebrity Sports & Talent Agent Glenn Toby the
show will take 14 contestants who believe they have what it takes to be
the next big thing in publishing through challenges that will test
whether or not they really have ‘the write stuff’. At stake will be a
book deal for the winner and over $16,000 in prizes to aide them in making their book a success.”We are excited about Poprah being a part of this project with us,” says Webb,33. He first was introduced to Poprah in 2008 as she was competing on I WANT TO WORK FOR DIDDY. “She has alot to offer, and I think she will be a great asset.”What exactly will be Poprah’s role on The Write Stuff? After each
elimination, the ousted contestant will have a “Pep Talk with Poprah” to discuss what went wrong during the challenge and how they can use the experience on the show to move on with the next chapter of their lives.“I see is as a win-win for us,” Webb explained. “Poprah’s weekly
appearance on the will give viewers another side of her personality. She genuinely cares about others, and I think that will come through on the show. As for the benefit for our contestants, it will be good for them to see someone who has been in their position and see how they have been able to move forward.”
Notice I highlighted the last part. I mean this is the same woman who clowned damn near every contestant on “I WANT TO WORK FOR DIDDY”. Maybe she only cares about people who’s not her competition. I guess I will watch and see if I have a different opinion about her after the show.
