20 Questions
January 31, 2008 by Marc Lamont Hill

Once again, I’ve had too much free time on my hands. Like always, I’ve come up with 20 questions:
1) Is Ebony Magazine embarrassed that they put Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds at the top of their “best couples” list?
2) Now that DMX is making a gospel album, is his career officially over?
3) Who the hell keeps casting Cuba Gooding Jr. in ghetto roles?
4) Doesn’t Ron Paul’s campaign feel more like a cult?
5) Why does MediaTakeOut.com just make shit up?
6) Will there ever be another person who sings like Luther Vandross?
7) Why is Cassidy so dope on mix tapes but can’t make a good album?
8 Now that they’ve shamelessly exploited race in the Democratic primary, will Black people finally stop worshipping the Clintons?
9) Isn’t Tyler Perry’s “House of Payne” literally the worst television show ever?
10) Is it time to give up on the Lauryn Hill comeback dream?
11) Don’t we need another show as good as Soul Food?
12) Am I the only one who always gets caught in the “random” ID checks in the airport?
13) Why does every black comedian have to talk about the differences between black and white people?
14) Isn’t it harder to see someone as a “real” star after seeing them on Making the Band?
15) Why is Isaiah Thomas still employed?
16) Did Fred Thompson even want to be president?
17) Twenty-five years later, isn’t Thriller still the shit?
18) Is there a woman on the planet who won’t watch the Sex in the City movie?
19) Doesn’t Brad Pitt’s post-Katrina work make you feel good?
20) Why is sex with Timaree so damn good?
Is Cutthroat Necessary?

Democrats have long wanted a candidate that can win, but is Hillary’s campaign style the only way to take back the White House?
Hillary Clinton’s Ruthless Campaign
By Steven Rosenfeld
Democrats have long complained that they need a presidential candidate who knows how to fight and win.
On Tuesday night, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, flew to Florida for a “victory rally” in a state that was awarding no delegates, because it was penalized by national party officials for holding an unauthorized early primary. Last summer, she and the other candidates pledged not to campaign in the Sunshine State. Still, Clinton held the rally, declaring victory on national television. Millions of people in the 22 states who will vote next Tuesday probably saw her, not knowing the Florida vote was moot. And in Florida, Clinton pledged to seat its delegates at the Democratic National Convention.
“Hillary won the highest turnout Democratic primary in Florida history,” her website gushed, on a page giving daily talking points to supporters. “Hillary received more votes in Florida than Sen. (John) McCain, the winner of the Republican primary. Hillary also received more votes in Florida alone than Sen. (Barack) Obama received in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina.”
If Clinton’s boast makes you grimace — she also charged that Sen. Barack Obama, D-IL, was first to break the DNC’s no-campaigning pledge by running a national cable ad that was seen in Florida and by getting good press after winning big in South Carolina — then these brazen moves give a very clear view of Clinton’s leadership style. Regardless of her center-left positions on issues, Hillary Clinton is fighting to win.
In fact, there may be no better illustration of the divide-and-conquer style of politics that Obama seeks to overcome than the tactics of his most aggressive rival, Hillary Clinton.

Sex Offenders To Register Email Addresses
Proposed legislation in New York would protect underage Internet users by creating an email registry of convicted sex offenders. What do you think?
Spencer Rimmer,
Pollster
“Don’t they already have ways to distinguish sex offenders online? Isn’t that what the winking emoticon is for?”
Ben Birtwistle,
Show Salesperson
“Underage kids shouldn’t be on the Internet. They should be outside, enjoying fresh air, and getting into stranger’s vans.”
Lucy Pritchard,
Jewelry Cleaner
“But can’t sex offenders just get new e-mail addresses? Nah, I’m probably just overthinking this.”
