Peele is channeling The Weeknd. I wonder if that’s intentional.

If you look at American history it can be really shocking to note how frequently in mainstream Hollywood depictions people of color are just written out of the historical record and always have. For example, in the aftermath of the Boston Massacre, John Adams, who was defending the British, calls out the…

I though the #OscarsSoWhite was so absurd that it succeeded.

It’s very good news. We need a Democratic run of the table in the Congress and states, though.

I increasingly agree with you. It isn’t. They get millions, we get a season-long thrill, and the overall toll is devastating.

Don’t forget those kitty cat critters.

Swoozie. Love it.

Does this mean we get to start bombing Iran?

Remember that George W. Bush won a majority of Muslim American voters in 2000. He was the conservative, family values, business-background candidate, so....

Well, you know.... (hint, hint)
