Blaxploitation Redux : The mainstreaming of the colored ho brought to you by Kimora Lee, Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez

One of the things that strike about these three women is how they've laughed their way to the bank selling themselves as empowered yet arm-candy women.

They play the perfect game of well-kept women whenever alongside their men. In their videos or ad campaigns, they work the high end prostitute look.

And no, I don't think Madonna (as in Ciccone) has anything to do with it. Madonna successfully turned men all around her into accessories to match her latest look. With these three women though, their mates were integral to their image making.

Words to live by

What distinguished [Mr. McCain's] posse from Mr. Obamaâ€™s throng was not just its age but its demographic monotony: all white and nearly all male.

For Mr. McCain, this albatross may be harder to shake than George W. Bush and Iraq, particularly in a faceoff with Mr. Obama. When Mr. McCain jokingly invoked the Obama slogan â€œI am fired up and ready to goâ€ in his speech Tuesday night, it was as cringe-inducing as the white covers of R & B songs in the 1950s â€” or Mitt Romneyâ€™s stab at communing with his inner hip-hop on Martin Luther Kingâ€™s birthday. Trapped in an archaic black-and-white newsreel, the G.O.P. looks more like a nostalgic relic than a national political party in contemporary America. A cultural sea change has passed it by.
