        <title><![CDATA[So There Was A Super Bowl Or Something This Weekend?]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[From: The Black Snob Feed Howdy all! Snob here. Things are a-going in Snob World. And all the things are good, making me insanely busy. I took on a new writing project this winter that I'm hoping to finish up this week, but that's the main reason for the lack of posting, along with a new focus on my physical health, new social networking clients, helping my friend Rodney get his blog situation together, preparing for a site redesign here at The Snob and all the other hustle, hustle, hustle that has become my daily life. It's strange that I find myself fighting to find time for the main thing that opened all the doors for these opportunities in the first place, but I'm not going anywhere. But how I update might be changing (so that it's more consistent, but without screwing up my schedule) and the redesign will likely reflect that. Thanks for your patience!]]></description>

        <title><![CDATA[The Snob Talks Komen, Planned Parenthood on "To The Contrary"]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[From: The Black Snob Feed The Snob returned to PBS' To The Contrary with Bonnie Erbe last Friday, discussing the fiasco that was Komen Foundation's defunding then refunding of Planned Parenthood as politics once again worked its way into women's health issues. Also discussed: a new documentary looking at sexual assault in the military and honoring Vernice Armour, female African American fighter pilot. Also on the panel: National Council of Negro Women Executive Director Avis Jones-DeWeever, The Heritage Foundation's Genevieve Wood and conservative commentator Tara Setmayer.

        <title><![CDATA[Halftime Show.]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[From: the field negro It's halftime&nbsp;at the Super Bowl. But rather than watch AARP rocker, Madonna, do her thing, I think I will do a little blogging. I saw all&nbsp;&nbsp;the commercials so far, and this is my take: Animals- especially dogs- are really in. A-merry-ca is still in love with rap and music, and music they consider "hip" to sell things. Jar jar Binks will be back&nbsp;this summer in 3D .(Whhyyyy?!) And I saw Howard Stern doing&nbsp;his best Bull Connor imitation&nbsp;for another shameless NBC promotion of one of their shows. &nbsp;That's pretty much it.As for the game itself,&nbsp; I really have no rooting interest. The Iggles aren't there so I could care less who wins. I actually hate both of these teams.Finally, let me end this post on a&nbsp;somewhat serious note. I say somewhat because&nbsp;the person I am going to write about is pretty much a joke.Anyway, Newt says that his Oness and his government has launched an all out "assault" on religeon because of&nbsp;the HHS policy on birth co]]></description>

        <title><![CDATA[My Little Something For Black History Month...My 10 Picks For The Greatest Guitarist Ever!]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[From: Journal Initially I was not going to post anything under the title of Black History Month.  Over the years I have had enough with corporate sponsored versions of our history, and my attempt at rebuking the corporation's story or simply mentioning the names and deeds of people that the corporation chooses to keep hidden. 
This year, actually this morning, I decided I wanted to note some people that are near and dear to my soul.  Near and dear to me for the music they produce and quite actually, I believe are not given enough credit for their contribution to the world of music.  Most of my peers are huge fans of Jazz, and artistes like Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk rounding out the sounds with the taste of Gil Scott Heron and The Last Poets.  Not being a Jazz enthusiast at all, rarely ever am I afforded the opprotunity to express who is heavy on my iPod rotation.  In light of that I present to you my picks for 10 greatest guitarist ever!

        <description><![CDATA[From: the field negro The republicans are having a caucus in Nevada tonight. *Yawn* I suspect that this will be Flipper by a mile. This is&nbsp;going to be&nbsp;battle for second place.&nbsp;&nbsp;Poor republicans, they just can't put their arms around Flipper. Something about the guy just doesn't sit right with them. And they worry that&nbsp;if he beats his Oness they don't know what he will do once Mrs. Flipper takes her fine linen and Christofle silverware to Pennsylvania, Avenue. &nbsp;But they better get used to him, because like it or not,&nbsp;Flipper will be the republican candidate to square off against O come November.Finally, what would a Saturday night be without a little racism chasing?Let's go to Arizona, the Mississippi of the West.&nbsp;"Arizona’s unremitting campaign against its Hispanic communities has certainly reached an extreme, with the state GOP initiating a spate of radical anti-immigrant laws, banning Mexican-American and other ethnic studies, and ensuring that Spanish-speakers wi]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: the field negro By now everyone has heard of the latest wingnut manufactured scandal against his Oness. It's the one with the movie title: "Fast&nbsp;and Furious" I think they are calling it.&nbsp;This is where we are supposed to believe that a bunch of right wingnuts really give a s*&amp;^ about a bunch of brown people South of the border who lost their lives because of a dumb scheme by the ATF&nbsp;to stop the flow of&nbsp;weapons into Mexico.So anyway, they had a dog and pony show&nbsp;congressional hearing in Washington and the AG was called in front of a bunch of wingnut poli-tricksters so that they could score political points and maybe get on the news network for dummies later on.Fortunately, Eric Holder did not roll over and play&nbsp;dead, (no pun intended)&nbsp;and he had a little something of his own to give back to his accusers.&nbsp;"During a hearing Thursday over the Fast and Furious scandal, Attorney General Eric Holder lit into GOP Congressman Raul Labrador, after he displayed slides d]]></description>

Komen Foundation chose to defund Planned Parenthood of grant funding for breast health programs that cover exams known to save lives.In my home state of Missouri, Planned Parenthood affiliates perform 13,000 breast exams…2 percent of which are referred for additional examination.Komen’s crisis management fail post announcement has opened up space for a broader examination of the charity’s operation and alarming social conservative roots. But I’m going to do what Komen didn’t do - focus on the mission and the 2 percent of Missouri women who went into a Planned Parenthood exam room full of fear and uncertainty and walked out with resources, information, and Planned Parenthood standing with them as they begin the journey to defeat breast cancer.Tis easy to become distracted by the rants from the right attempting to distort the breast health services Planned Parenthood provides.Let]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[From: Black 'n Bougie Grown&nbsp;\ˈgrōn\- adj. Having achieved full growth. Possessing maturity. Produced or cultivated in a certain way.


We've talked a lot this week about being grown - as in putting away childish things and &nbsp;being&nbsp;responsible&nbsp;for one's own actions and decisions. We've heard a lot of people claiming&nbsp;to&nbsp;be&nbsp;grown. And I think we can all agree it's not so much an age as a state of being. You don't get magically "grown" on your whateverth birthday. It's an evolution, a destination, a place to which (unfortunately) not everyone arrives. We all know one or two people "of a certain age" who act like they are one step out of kindergarten. That Peter Pan Syndrome is nothing to play with.



So you say you're grown... here are five ways to prove it:

        <description><![CDATA[From: Mirror On America To My Old MasterIn August of 1865, a Colonel P.H. Anderson of Big Spring, Tennessee, wrote to his former slave, Jourdan Anderson, and requested that he come back to work on his farm.
