Dude, I sold out a long time ago (earlier today). Why do you think I selected Rick James as our blog's running mate? We have to appeal to everyone. And if that means pumping up our neat, middle-class, suburban writing space to attract more diverse peoples, then so be it.
In this time of Obamarama and Palinpalooza, diversity issues have been brought to the forefront ... and I want to reflect that in this blog. I want this to be a microcosm of America. I want freedom. I want variety. And dammit I want disco and drugs. Rick James can give us all of those things. And more.
Here is why I believe (and why Blair should agree) that Rick James is a superior choice for reeling in people of all shapes and backgrounds:
- He is beyond androgynous. His hair is long, sometimes braided, often with sparkles ... yet he's a man. Also, I'm pretty sure he owns more jewelry than me. But again, a man.
- He is unarguably African American, yet Super Freak is most often karaoked by drunk sequined white girls after last call. Sexy time.
- He's short, but wears boots and torso-lengthening jumpsuits. Short and tall. Both.
- He's no longer alive (RIP) ... yet he lives on. Appeals to humans and ghouls alike.
- He's done drugs. Sure, that will most likely lead to some allegations and might not look great in a political race, but think of all those hilarious stories he can tell during debates and at executive meetings! Everyone loves to laugh!!
- CHARLIE MURPHY! Not a reason, but also a reason.
I rest my case.
