Not in the clamor of the crowded street, not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, but in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

REDIRECT ALERT! (Scroll down past this mess if you're trying to read an archived post. Thanks. No, really, thanks.)

Due to my inability to control my temper and complacently accept continued silliness with not-quite-as-reliable-as-it-ought-to-be Blogger/Blogspot, your beloved Possumblog will now waddle across the Information Dirt Road and park its prehensile tail at http://possumblog.mu.nu.

This site will remain in place as a backup in case Munuvia gets hit by a bus or something, but I don't think they have as much trouble with this as some places do. ::cough::blogspot::cough:: So click here and adjust your links. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it's one of those things.

A Yahoo!/E! Online article from yesterday rehashing the accusations of the Artist Who Was Once a Black Kid against Sony Music and Tommy Mottola:
[...] Ironically, even Sharpton said he was "surprised" by Jackson's racism charge against Mottola. Commenting in Monday's New York Post, Sharpton tried to distance himself from Jackson's attack.

"I have known Tommy for 15 or 20 years, and never once have I known him to say or do anything that would be considered racist," Sharpton told the paper. "In fact, he's always been supportive of the black music industry. He was the first record executive to step up and offer to help us with respect to corporate accountability, when it comes to black music issues." [...]
When you're playing the race card game and Big Al folds after you raise, you better KNOW your hand is a winner. (I see a nice consulting contract with Sony headed towards Sharp One with nice big, creamy, dollar signs.)
