OPEN FOR BUSINESS

Hello any of you out there who might be reading this (and I hope there might be a few of you)...

If you ever logged onto Dissent Channel and read the largely political rantings of me and my cohorts, then think of The R Spot as a place for less substantial, but no less interesting concerns.

If Dissent Channel is a call to action, The R Spot is a call to party.

If Dissent Channel is like the six o'clock news, then The R Spot is like Late Night with David Letterman.

If Dissent Channel is classic prog rock, then The R Spot is alternative hip-hop.

If Dissent Channel is PG-13, then The R Spot is full frontal.

But don't stop checking out Dissent Channel, because I'll still try to post there at least twice a week. Since The R Spot isn't about schedules, you never know when I'll turn up here (or what exactly I'll have to say).

But like Iraq, I'm open for business. Check me out. Let's make a deal...

I'm a blog whore.

"Let the Muthafucka Burn"

Michael Moore's new agit-prop piece FAHRENHEIT 9/11 totally rocks. Conservative apologists and right-wing critics will carp about the film's (minor) inaccuracies and unapologetically leftist bent. So what? Screw them. Moore lays bare in easy-to-understand fashion George W. Bush's singleminded obsession with money and power; how this country has been sold out to Saudi oil interests and Big Money corporations; how Homeland Security and the Patriot Act are--to borrow a term from a popular beer commercial that somehow seems to fit--a "traveshamocracy"; how the real costs of the war aren't just the billions of dollars spent on it but the blood that's spilled largely by the poor and the not-so-Caucasian for a cause they don't really believe in; how Bush seems more interested in tending his ranch and perfecting his golf swing then he does in truly making all Americans safe.

If you really believe in Bush and the right wing ideology, then nothing in FAHRENHEIT 9/11 will sway you. But if you're even a little bit on the fence or you just don't realize the depths of the sham being perpetrated on the American public, then go see this film and let it inspire you to research even more, because this work is provocative, moving, funny and without a doubt the most important movie that will come out this year.

COMING SOON TO THE R SPOT:

--Why white rappers are generally overpraised and most black rappers are full of shit.
--What I'd do if Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie showed up at my crib for the Simple Life 3.

Peace, and remember that ignorance leads to violence.
