Ishmael Reed: Should Blacks Go Green?
Wednesday, October 24, 2007

Ishmael Reed—whose novel Mumbo Jumbo may be one of the most masterful works of “fiction” I’ve ever had the pleasure to study—has recently written an article for CounterPunch which wonders if it’s time for Black voters to start going Green. The article is timely—especially in the context of Cincinnati politics, when the president of the local NAACP recently announced a conversion to the Green Party.

NAACP Voter Education Guide: Marijuana
Monday, October 22, 2007
 Photo courtesy of here.
Where do the candidates stand in regard to the City’s anti-marijuana ordinance, which has been enforced in a racially biased manner, giving permanent criminal records to people for having small amounts of marijuana? Remember, possession of small amounts of marijuana was already illegal in Ohio. The current ordinance makes it worse.
Do you support the anti-marijuana ordinance? Please explain.

Vigil Participants Vow Cintas Worker’s Death Will not be in Vain
Tuesday, October 23, 2007
Dozens of Workers, Clergy and Community Leaders Hold Service Outside Company’s Annual Shareholder Meeting
Wearing black and holding flowers, workers, community leaders and clergy held a vigil outside of Cintas’s annual shareholder meeting today to commemorate the death of a Cintas worker and to help ensure that his horrific death earlier this year at one of the company’s laundries will not be in vain. Eleazar Torres Gomez was killed in March at Cintas’s Tulsa laundry when he was dragged by an unguarded conveyor into an industrial dryer. He was trapped in temperatures up to 300 degrees for at least 20 minutes and died on the scene of trauma and thermal injuries. In response to this tragedy, vigil participants called on Cintas, the nation’s largest uniform supplier, to eliminate unsafe, illegal working conditions in all of its facilities.

Can I vaporize in public?
Sunday, October 21, 2007
Recently, it came to my attention that some people smoke using an instrument called a “vaporizer.” (Find an example here.) Vaporizers do not create second hand smoke, so I couldn’t help but wonder if it would be acceptable to vaporize tobacco at a neighborhood bar, since Ohio has banned smoking, and not vaporizing, in public.

Apple’s new OS shows how porn rules the market
Monday, October 22, 2007
Somewhere along the line (perhaps when reading Eric Schlosser’s ), I came across the idea that most innovations in personal computing interfaces are dictated by the online porn industry. Now that Apple is about to release its latest update (which means Windows will be following suit in a few years), I thought it might be a good opportunity to reflect on this awkward truth.
