Born in 1975, the product of two beautiful parents. Raised in West Baltimore—not quite The Wire, but sometimes ill all the same. Studied at the Mecca for some years in the mid-’90s. Emerged with a purpose, if not a degree. Slowly migrated up the East Coast with a baby and my beloved, until I reached the shores of Harlem. Wrote some stuff along the way.

Clinton Tackled In South Carolina

By Ta-Nehisi Coates

Read 'em and weep. I'm not sure what any of this means. We knew this was coming as soon as Obama shocked the world in Iowa. Truth be told, I can't give much analysis at the moment anyway. Loretta Sanchez' fine-ass is on MSNBC right now. No disrespect, but I've got a thing for her. She's a Clintonista, but I think I could find a way to not hold that against her. Plus it's at least an improvement over my vaunted imaginary affair with Condi Rice.
