Fopp me right, dont you fopp me wrong
Well be here foppin all night long
I'm too short, and you're too tall
But when were foppin' that don't mean a thing at all
I'm too young, child, and you're too old,
But that don't mean that you got no soul...

The Beautiful Struggle: A Father, Two Sons, and an Unlikely Road to Manhood
I think the Ohio Players might have been the soundtrack to 10th grade for me. Has there been a popular group that could play like that in the last 30 years? (And get off my lawn, you kids and your samplers...)
On the assumption that a Random Quote is fairly close to being an Open Thread, I was wondering what you thought about the egregious Juan Williams, commenter for NPR and for Fox News, basically saying that Black folk all look alike to him yesterday on Day To Day:
"Bob Novak, the Washington columnist, had a piece this week in which he said that Colin Powell might endorse Barack Obama down the line. So, I spoke with some people close to Colin Powell who said they didn't think that was going to happen; but then the question came: what about the possibility of McCain picking Powell as his running mate? And you imagine Powell as an older, more experienced, less risky version of Obama. Colin Powell might be the secret ingredient that would get McCain in a much better position going into the fall election."
(the link for that quote is http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=91964133 ; I tried using html to blockquote and hyperlink, but it all got stripped out in the preview).
Meh, I kinda stopped paying attention to Juan Williams. He's one of these pundits who Obama threatens to put of business. I read everything he writes through that prism.
