I’m here in Charlotte with L. Joy Williams and a very not amused Elon James White. We’ll be doing a livestream broadcast of TWiB (This Week in Blackness) at 11 a.m. EST today. (I am filling in for Aaron Rand Freeman who couldn’t be here this week.)
You can check it out at www.theppl.us/dnc2012, or, if you are in Charlotte, come to The Stage at The PPL (222 S. Church St.) on the fourth floor.
You can follow L. Joy on Twitter at @ljoywilliams and Elon at @elonjames and Aaron (who unfortunately isn’t here) at @ANSFreeman. And you can follow me at @AngryBlackLady.

So you dumped Cole again?

@hep kitty: I made Van Jones laugh once. One of my prouder moments in life. (OK. I just realized that I lead a fairly lackluster life.)

Sorry for the off-topic post but this is good news.
Virgil Goode has qualified for the presidential ballot in Virginia. Even if pulls just 1-2% it will make Virginia that much harder for Mitt Romney.

@slag: WOW! Can I cyber-touch you? Where did you meet him?
Personally, if the Dem party would quit being so damned fearful and shift a hair to the left, I believe that guy is going places!

OK this sh*t is hilarious!

They won’t let Van Jones speak, I’m sure. He’s such a “radical!”
And oh yeah, the WH gave him the boot. That might have something to do with it as well.

@hep kitty: NO TOUCHING!
But I agree that Van Jones and other dauntless people like him have a lot to offer the left. Even though I wasn’t there, I got the impression that this event: http://www.guidinglightsnetwork.com/weekend was full of people like that.

@Ben Cisco: OK, apparently I was listening to a wrapup from last week.

@JPL: Poor John. Maybe he will run into a cute little ginger Dem and impress her with his blogger status!
Politically aware chicks dig that sorta thing.
hep kitty
@slag: I think he gave an awesome speach at Netroots. I kept tweeting “check this out, this is great! Please watch Van Jones’ speech!” – nobody seemed to notice
I’d be pretty impressed with myself if I made him laugh because, damn, the man is funny too!

@Ben Cisco: They always run the last show just before the broadcast. They’re on live now.

@hep kitty: This one: http://www.netrootsnation.org/nn_events/nn-12/closing-keynote/ ? I’ll check it out at some point.
Agreed that the man is funny. Makes me laugh every time I see him speak.

Is there a show called This Week in Whiteness? It would be only fair….
Wait.
Right. Meet the Press.
Forgot about that.
Oh, and that whole Fox News Channel thingy.

Can you get the distro story straight? Twib.fm and iTunes have no show.

I love This Week in Blackness. Knock ’em dead this week!
