If You Feel Like Protesting This Week

I am checking emails from the various list-servs I'm on, hence all the quoted entries this afternoon. For those of you in NYC who feel like getting off your kiesters and engaging in some bona fide praxis, check out the RISEUP list of NYC protests.

I mean seriously, it's got everything from today's Atlantic Yards/Ratnerville Meeting to a Hiroshima procession to the Black August Hip Hop Benefit Concert.

One-stop shopping.

Btw, as an aside, that reminds me that the new single by Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas is a blatant rip-off of MIA's "Bucky Done Gun," down to the distinctive chanting of "London" (which as far as I can ascertain, Fergie only visited once while on tour with Kids, Incorporated - is that when she picked up a Bangladeshi-British accent?).
