The thing is this wasn't even the saddest thing they put out yesterday. Did anyone read the press release where they criticized Obama for eating Met-rx protein bars and arugula?
It's like watching a two-year old have a meltdown in a store while his mama just watches. I'm almost embarrassed for his campaign.
Did anyone else see McCain press secretary trying (awkwardly) to reach the MTV set with the tour of the Straight Talk Express bus? It included gems like "the straight talk express rolls on 20s". McCain couldn't be there, but he sent in his shoutouts by telegraph.
Here's a piece no one cared about. Meh, whatever, probably the most enjoyable article I did during my stint at TIME. Premiered a month before I got laid-off. The nail in the coffin? Ya think?
Here's me going after Al. I didn't so much have a problem with him, as I had a problem with media acting like this dude was the go-to guy for everything black.
This was my first real story at time. I was writing for the Business section, a real change of direction for me. At any rate, it's about Wal-Mart's attempts to colonize the inner-city. As much as I enjoyed this piece, I mostly enjoyed going out to Chicago, which is a beautiful, beautiful city.
This a piece I did about the cops just outside our nation capitol, in Prince George's County, a few years back. I wanted to offer a counter to the dumb, conventional wisdom that if you paint your police force black, you could eradicate police brutality. In fact, Prince George's--one of the richest, blackest counties in the country--also had one of the most brutal police force's in the country.

McCain's reference to pop stars Paris Hilton and Britney Spears brings to mind another pop culture reference: McCain = Playa Hater.
Obama hasn't even showed up in Puffy-style shiny pants yet: http://youtube.com/watch?v=6nzHIx4fVuE
Ta-Nehisi, your recent posts have me addicted watching 1990's-era hip-hop videos on Tubetube now.
Is McCain running a 1908-style campaign media strategy? Next, he'll find some one who's --gasp-- gay in Obama's inner circle.

Hope they keep up the good work!
