If only that creep would stick to linguistics. His economic analysis is absurd, even for an elitist professor.

He and Krugman are cut from the same cloth. Krugman actually has education as an economist, so he doesnt have an excuse for his drivel.

Hilly, when you were watching it as a kid, it was still just Motown.  They weren't classics yet.

Ya old fart.

I did too, but skipped the Motown pop junk. Parliament/Funkadelic ruled :) and the fact that two stone white boys watched it doesnt change the fact that their demographic was still 90% (a guess) black, just as Bandstand's was predominantly white. (In fact SoulTrain was probably past most white kids curfew!)

"that's gonna get you on Mediamatters" or something like that. Man it's probably headed for youtube !

We watched Soul Train when I was a kid. Because we were "whitey" we got to watch it on a colored TV. (coloured telly for you Brats, err I mean Brits)

Yea, this ain't even close to racist. If you want racist try some old David Allen Coe.
