    first: I'm very good friends with one of the guys quoted in the Black Dudes Still Can't Get A Job No Matter What They Do story. Hopefully, if someone googles him before an interview (do people do this?) it will guilt someone into hiring him! I am googleable by a quote I gave to the Times, but it's a really stupid one about Barack Obama.

    Second: every time I glance in the direction of my diploma, then glance at the stack of loan bills which just replaced the "$0.00 due," with real numbers I get angry at myself for having a really foreign name/not becoming an engineer. Curse you, prestigious university for not living up to your end of the deal!

    This is true. My husband is a white white white man who looks like Senior Middle Management from Central Casting, Circa 1963, and the way he is treated just walking into a room, the respect he is accorded just for looking like that, bugs the living crap out of me. He is smart and worked hard and has lots of degrees, but he is granted authority based on appearance that people who don't look like that won't have for at least another 50 years -- just for showing up.

    "Experts say your best strategy is not 'going to college.' Instead, it is 'Being white.'

    The experts did caution, however, that this is poor advice for those wishing to become NBA power forwards and/or gangsta rappers.

    I, too, look forward to when food stamps will be issued with the face of Mr. Drummond because he also had a crackhead daughter who lost her baby to the state, did some porn and held up a dry cleaners cause of course that's where the big money is (ask Mr. Jefferson) and he would have probably been in foreclosure and on gubment Medicare after Maddoff took his money if NBC shows were real-life... just to remind both Blacks & Whites how everything just evens out while you're waiting for your styrofoam plate of steamed crablegs with broccoli bought with a book of WhatchooTalkinBouts. (Food stamps still come in books of bills, right? Man I'm old school.)

    She didn't deserve to be kidnapped but she's stupid and irresponsible. I'm glad she's ok, now people who care about her need to sit her down and give her a wake-up chat.

    Since most journalists swing to the left and are against the Constitutional right to bear arms, this puts them in a bit of a pickle, doesn't it?

    I'm in the media, I'm sort of liberal, so D'OH! You must mean me!
    Except that it's not so black and white. I am for the Constitution; I am against lunatics buying assault rifles without a background check. I am against criminals being more heavily armed than the police. I am for arming the good guys when they go into war zones.
    Nope, I'm not in a pickle at all.

    I recently applied for a PR job -- in Norfolk, Va., which makes Cincinnati look like Rome -- that asked me to supply "a current walk-on-water packet." I cried a little and did as directed.

    I didn't get the job.

    When I was younger and more aimless I did one of these vanity project ghostwriting gigs, but in exchange for writing and editing his utterly mundane reminiscence I was actually paid $20 an hour. Even then I had to stop after a month because it was just too depressing to spend my days knee deep in so much drek and delusion. I did get to spend a few afternoons "researching" 40-year-old issues of the Saturday Evening Post at Columbia. That was kinda cool.

    A nobody whose sole claim to fame is that 26 years ago he lived with Obama but the book he is writing isn't a tell-all? Wow, what savvy publisher wouldn't snap that up for a six-figure advance!

    @TheBusinessGuy: Come on, be fair. He says right in the ad that he has a "highly visible career", so I'm guessing: school crossing guard at P.S. 6, person waving in Rock Center during "Today" show, or Jay McInerney.
