Songbird Janelle Monae teams up with actor Jon Heder to sing “Winter Wonderland” in a Christmas commercial for GAP. It’s obvious that her stylist took my readers’ advice and threw away Janelle’s outdated black and white uniforms.
Janelle is a singer with incredible talent. But if she wants to be accepted by the masses, […]

Controversial Christmas ads carrying atheist messages have cropped on buses all over Washington D.C. this week.
The ads proclaim, “Why believe in a god? Just be good for goodness’ sake.” Naturally, the $40,000 holiday ad campaign has sparked a firestorm of controversy. A spokesman for the religious right appeared on Hannity & Colmes last […]

Loyal reader Charles (yes, that Charles) emailed SR.com to remind us to recognize the armed forces on Veterans Day. I spotted this video on another blog yesterday and it took me 30 minutes to find it again. It’s a silent drill exercise by the USMC in France. Their precision is awesome. […]

Rapper 50 Cent was honored yesterday at the opening of his Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson Community Garden on November 3, 2008 in the Jamaica neighborhood of the Queens borough of New York City.

Happy Independence Day - if you celebrate it.
As a kid in London, we celebrated Bonfire Day. The grown folks built a roaring bonfire out in the back yard and we kids used the flames to light our fireworks. Oh, and we roasted marshmallows too.
One of my readers points out that we were still […]

Tomorrow is the 4th of July but it sure doesn’t feel like it. Usually by now a dozen people would have asked me what up for the 4th? But so far, only 3 people have inquired. Normally by now I would hear the staccato pattern of automatic gunfire in the air signaling […]
