    Hi, this is Garlin Gilchrist II, a co-founder of The SuperSpade: Black Thought at the Highest Level. Brandon and I started the site back in November 2005 with a goal of raising the level of Black political discourse by presenting both current events analysis and higher level perspectives on broad issues in the social, political, and cultural realm.

    You can see more on our About page @ http://www.thesuperspade.com/about/ which says:

    The SuperSpade: Black Thought at the Highest Level, the communications arm of Powerful Holdings, is a forum that presents critical, intellectual perspectives on the current issues. The goal of this space is to provide actionable commentary on social, political, and personal issues affecting the daily lives of individuals. We tie issues to people’s everyday decisions, so that they can then use these decision points and opportunities to create change. Since November 9, 2005, The SuperSpade has been energizing and mobilizing young people across the country, encouraging intellectual discourse on current events, as well as meaningful actions to help the community.

    We have for a long time been a friend of Jack and Jill Politics and the many other strong, Black progressive voices online.

    Check us out.

    One Love. One II.

    Craig, you trying to do my job? LOL

    They may live stream the Harold Ford-Markos Moulitsas debate tomorrow, too. I was asked in a forum to give the moderator tips...I told them to pin the Dark Sith to straight answers, since he likes to wander off the reservations and fling monkey poo at who bothers him.

    Never, CPL. LOL.

    Your commentary will still be sopped up like good pot liquor.

    Besides, the sound is pretty bad on the live feed.
