2008 PC: A Fork In The Road

January 29, 2008 - 2 Responses

As announced, the website for the new organization DC Basketball has gone live:

www.dcbasketball.com

From here on in, Pop Culture will be retreating from the blogosphere, as we focus our efforts in that medium to specialized blogs concerning ventures in which we are involved- our documentary film:

http://bbayne.blogspot.com

and DC Basketball (whose accompanying blog is at http://dcbasketball.wordpress.com)

Outside the ’sphere, look for future sportswriting (of an NBA nature) at www.probasketballnews.com

(travel will still be a niche, including contributions here)

http://honeymoonersreviewguide.com

…it is only the blogging directon where change is taking place. Thanks to all who frequented PC, and helped make it what is was. We also appreciate all who have helped spearhead DC Basketball, and those whose time and support have meant so much during the research and fundraising stage for the documentary “Show People”. A DVD trailer for the film will be shot in Manhattan this summer. We will leave the physical structure and location of Pop Culture intact, to help serve as a way station for visitors regular and new.

Dumb and Dumber

Interesting that President Bush has dumbed down his job to the extent that primary voters can conceive of a Black man or a woman doing it:

That may turn out to be his enduring contribution to the process.

Sex And The Motor City: Detroit Mayor In Love Mess

January 27, 2008 - 2 Responses

Looks like Rudy Giuliani wasn’t the only big city mayor wooing his lover on the city’s dime:

www.clickondetroit.com/news/15147278/detail.html

Mayor Kilpatrick’s Chief of Staff Christine Beatty was married at the time of the Colorado trip. What’s with metro mayors and sex scandals- remember L.A.’s Antonio Villaraigosa and Telemundo reporter Mirthala Salinas ? San Francisco’s Gavin Newsom and his city manager’s wife? And America’s Mayor, Giuliani, used municipal cars to get to his love tryst.

The heck with the White House, chicks dig mayors.

And so does his niece:

In the wake of a primary victory where he garnered double the voting percentage of Senator Clinton in South Carolina, Senator Obama earns the endorsement of  The First Family of American Politics- a family long friendly with the Clinton’s.
