Last night I attended the screening of HBO’s latest documentary: Magic & Bird: A Courtship of Rivals produced by Ezra Edelman. It is a great documentary that sheds light on the intimate details of the most famous individual rivalry in sports. I highly recommend you invest 90 minutes of your time this Saturday, March 6th at 8p.

The Front Fell Off (1991)
Australian comedians John Clarke & Brian Dawe are hilarious. “The Front Fell Off” clip originally aired in 1991 but true comedic genius is timeless – or maybe politicians haven’t evolved much.
Wasn’t February Black History Month?
Leading up to February I haven’t seen as many Black History month commercials & other promotions. No United Negro College Fund spots, no McDonald’s ‘Calvin’ commercials not even the predictable BET joints. What does all that mean? It means we’re definitely living in a recessed economy. Well, we do have a biracial President who is representing for African-Americans (and Americans in general). What I hope it doesn’t mean is that we have seemingly reached racial equality because I know that is not true – take a look around. Racial equality should be a goal right up there with world peace and because of that belief there are several historical events that are ever-present in my mind. Allow me to put you on to one of these, the case of Dred Scott v. Sanford.
