Everybody Hates Chris…

Memo to TINA DAVIS: Lose the puppy, replace with a kitten…

Who will be the evil villain for Women’s History Month? I guess the general consensus is that CHRIS BROWN will be the 2009 bad boy(no P.Twitty). Even OPRAH and ELLEN DeGENRES have trained their mighty media guns on BROWN.

The question I have now though is what discussion do we have to fix this problem? Yes. CHRIS BROWN is bad. Yes. CHRIS BROWN is evil. But domestic violence didn’t begin with CHRIS BROWN and if all we do is look at that dude then domestic violence doesn’t end with CHRIS BROWN either.

I believe in something I call the ‘Single Smack’ rule and this applies to both men and women. There are times when everyone deserves a single smack. Maybe their wires are just crossed that day or they simply need that pop to return their focus. Remember how you used to have to smack your television onetime to make the picture clearer? This is the premise behind the ‘Single Smack’ rule. The idea is that if you have to smack anything more than once it is prA’li broken and that applies to home electronics and especially relationships.

Lord knows that C.S. has wanted to smack me once or thrice in the years that we have dated and I certainly have wanted to introduce her to my five fingered friend on at least one occasion. That we haven’t smacked each other yet I believe has to do with the fact that neither of us is too serious about our personal feelings. Meaning, we let shit slide off of us for the most part. I know I do. My life is too short to be hitting broads just because they don’t listen to all the dumb shit I have to say. But the ‘Single Smack’ rule stays in effect.

I think someone needs to introduce CHRIS BROWN and RIHANNA to the ‘Single Smack’ rule. I’m sure they will find themselves in this situation again because most of us know that the text CHRIS BROWN received was from the other dude and not the other chick. I don’t think he will break that habit off too soon since its what put him in the spotlight in the first place. Will the ‘Single Smack’ rule save CHRIS and RIHANNA from being tabloid fodder in the future? Yes is the answer to that. No one has ever called the police after getting a single smack.

CARRION = DEAD MEAT…

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

roadkill

Has a politrickster ever had a more appropriate name as ADOLFO CARRION? The former Bronx Borough President and newly minted White House czar for urban policy hasn’t even had a chance to make his cabinet seat warm before we all find out that he is as crooked as anyone would be in the nation’s poorest urban area.

DP.com friends WWIB have been posting links to the Daily News and Village Voice investigative reports on CARRION’s cozy relationship with property developers and even architects that were granted contracts on capital construction projects in the Bronx. I’d hate to think how much other stuff is dangling around from CARRION’s time as BX BeeP. This is why the Bronx has remained disenfranchised, underserved and poor.

It’s too easy for funds to go missing when large sums are being moved around. The Bronx has required so much remedial development to bridge the gap from decades of negligence and irresponsibility. CARRION is just the tip of the iceberg for this boro’s woes. His conflict of interest with a municipal architect is such chump change. There were billions of dollars being circulated through the Bronx as it became the final frontier for NYC’s gentrification.

Although CARRION escaped the Bronx just as the construction bubble was bursting he has found himself in a hornet’s nest down in the D.C. Beltway. If you remember BERNARD KERIK then you know that the microscopic laser ain’t no joke when it is trained on you. BERNARD KERIK went from flying high as a Ground Zero Hero to just being a grounded zero. OBAAMA might have to pull another Latino from somewhere else to sit in this cabinet seat. I wonder if ProperTalks knows of any responsible Mexicans on the westside?

Did I ever tell you folks the story about our ‘Bodega’ video shaping public policy citywide? After getting wind of our video a certain billionaire mayor and teh ghey councilwoman put the Healthy Bodega Initiative on the frontburner so to speak. Chea!

Reminiscing About Brooklyn…

j.o.

JOELL ORTIZ has dropped a couple of nice tracks onto the internets as he prepares to release a mixtape sampler of him spitting over some of Hip-Hop’s classic beats. Give a listen to his T.R.O.Y. tribute…

JOELL wouldn’t be true to his Brooklyn roots without sending out a kite to B.I.G.

Speaking of Brooklyn and B.I.G., the dudes that do the monthly event Hip-Hop Karaoke will be holding their annual tribute to the Notorious B.I.G. on Friday night at SouthPaw in Park Slope. Are you a fan of Biggie? Here is your chance to shine as you hold the mic and spit one of the greatest rappers joints.

The above photo comes from the Sneaker Fiends Unite Florida panhandle president NERDITRY. The economy might be too fucked the fuck up for CD’s and plasma television screens but I will be dead and buried before I let some recession stop me from getting my $40 score right.

That is the plan for this weekend Sneaker Fiends. Unite with DP, and the Mighty Healthy spokesmodel 40 DIESEL as we take our game to some yet untested venues in Spanish Harlem and in the Bronx. We’ve even decided to push the meet up time back to 1:30pm for all of you daylight savings timers (read: me).
