Back That Thang Up

To answer your question, this is how Viet girls work them booties.

Duy Quang’s New Love

Damn! Even the a boring old fart like Duy Quang could scoop up a young girl like that. Respect!

Bush Meets Nguyen Minh Triet

In the conclusion of his conversation with President Bush, Nguyen Minh Triet mentioned the Vietnamese-American community:

And on this occasion, I also would like to extend my warmest greetings to my fellowman living in the United States. And Vietnamese Americans are part and parcel of the Vietnamese nation. And it is my desire to see them succeed, and hope they will continue to serve as a bridge of friendship between our two countries.

Did he mean for his fellowmen to continue to pour dollars into Viet Nam? Quite a clever guy.

Born to be Gay

From “Queer in the Crib” by Julia Reischel in The Village Voice:

Even with the recent push for gay marriage, we still tend to define gayness in terms of having sex—a framework that necessarily excludes kids. But pay attention to the childhood memories of gay adults and you’ll hear plenty of talk about wanting to keep house with a playmate of the same gender, or to marry a same-gender friend—just as straight adults remember wanting to marry a playmate of the opposite gender. Gay or straight, these kids aren’t trying to sex each other up. They’re just imagining future families, or describing their current friendships.

Lights-Out

A piece from The New Yorker shows how napping at work is good for you. Whenever mama stayed here, I would take my lunch at home plus a quick nap. Mama would wake me up when it was time the time to get back to work. Damn, it felt so good.

First Lady of Song

Ella Fitzgerald’s profile on NPR:

Ella’s rare combination of confidence and innocence reflected the spirit of mid-20th century America. Despite her popularity, she never deviated from her commitment to jazz as an art form. She could improvise right next to saxophonists like Charlie Parker, Coleman Hawkins or Lester Young, then turn around and perform a classic American ballad while infusing it with her natural swing.

Art Tatum, ‘The Musician’s Musician’

A wonderful program on Art Tatum from NPR:

One of the greatest improvisers in jazz history, Art Tatum also set the standard for technical dexterity with his classic 1933 recording of “Tea for Two.” Nearly blind, Tatum had artistic vision and ability that made him an icon of jazz piano, a musician whose impact will be felt for generations to come.
