News and Notes

Today I will be appearing on NPR's News and Notes last show of the year. I will be appearing with Ms. Jasmyne Cannick and Michael Cobb Bowen.

Tentative topics involve Pakistan, R. Kelly, Kwaanza and our New Year's resolutions. I have one to big to announce, but will leave that for the show ... unless you show me yours first.

In the meantime, I resolve to watch more performance art, especially if it involves Mike Gravel.

He's so profound my head hurts --which means, it's awfully good.

Honestly, I think he is the first presidential candidate / performance artist.

I am running out to the NPR studio here in Manhattan to record another session of News and Notes with Farai Chideya.

We will talk about how steroids brought the downfall of Marion Jones, an MTV poll that says that white youth is happier than black, Juanita Bynum's messy divorce and .... prepare your selves ... why I hate the word Hispanic.

TADA!
