I’ve been spending a greast deal of time in my car lately, traveling for my job. Ever so often I tune in to NPR. I caught this “Fresh Air” segment last week on Comedian Roy Wood Jr.
Comic Roy Wood Jr. Taps Into America’s Psyche On ‘The Daily Show’
Audio and transcript here.
Even though 3Chics Politico is written and curated by three women: Ametia, Rikyrah, and SouthernGirl2, I must nominate this as one of the most engaging blogs I've found. Devoted to politics and culture, these three shine a light on contemporary life with humor and spirit.

It seems some black people thought PBO could single handedly and magically change laws on his own when it came to Ferguson. I can’t with this mess. Folks tried to pound it in their head about voting but couldn’t reach them. If the enemy see that you are not concerned about voting elected officials that share your agenda then it’s business as usual.

Good morning SG & 3 Chics,
Even worse is we knew before he said a damned thing.
Daughter is good thanks for asking. She’s looking forward to going to Winnipeg for an Irish Dance competition Memorial Day weekend.. Why Irish? I asked too. Because all her girls are doing it. I attended an ID festival in St. Paul St. Patties weekend. Theirs was the most diverse crew. Canada should be…interesting. Have a good day all.

From Wikipedia:
“Harold Lloyd Nicholas, born on March 27, 1921, was one half of the world-famous tap dancing pair the Nicholas Brothers. His older brother was Fayard Nicholas. They danced in vaudeville, on Broadway, in nightclubs and on television, combining elements of ballet, jazz, and acrobatics with tap in their routines to produce displays of dazzling virtuosity, which they called ‘classical tap.’ But it was their dancing in movie musicals that brought them the most acclaim and made them internationally famous.”

The Trump administration is adding a citizenship question to the census. Here’s why that’s bad for Democrats.
The change carries potentially major political ramifications — most notably for Republicans’ ability to gerrymander Democrats into the minority for years to come.
