Ads from Dr. Miracle (http://drmiracles.com) have appeared in black magazines and are highly offensive. The same company also makes African Pride products. I see no African pride coming from this company.

If I can't work there because of my dreads, then I won't give them any of my money either. At this rate, they may not let me into their precious little park anyway. Pshaw!
Non-Corporate Coffee Locator
Just came across this -- click to Delocator.net to find the non-corporate coffee houses either close to home or when you're traveling. Nice not only because it's an option other than Starbucks (which is also listed) but for the fact that many non-corporate coffee houses have free WiFi and other perks.

Clarion-Ledger Lifts Ladd Out of Context
It's remarkable, really, to see how other journalists (or editors) work. Chris Joyner and I had a good talk about public records yesterday—and I made it clear to him repeatedly that I had *two* concerns about The Clarion-Ledger's settlement with Melton: 1. That because it was public-records law, which must apply to everyone, that that be taken into consideration when an agreement was reached with one publication. We talked about the problems with this in some details. 2. That Melton's private attorney, Danks, should not be in the role of "overseeing" the public-records process in any way. We also talked in some detail about the reason the city has so many public-records requests—because they do not have good public information folks and that they tell media outlets to file a public-records request over the silliest little thing -- then it becomes a big drama for them.
