Key & Peele

By B Cole, Tuesday, March 13, 2012.

One of my favourite new shows is Key & Peele.  Two comedians from Mad TV (I think?  I’m not sure where I heard that before) who have a sketch style comedy show aiken to Dave Chappelle. Here are two sketches… my question is, is their comedy too racial?  Or...

Why Not Somaliland?

By B Cole, Tuesday, March 13, 2012.

Sudan split earlier this year into two countries creatively named “North Sudan” (the original Sudan) and “South Sudan” (Sudan 2.0). I try to pay attention to these kinds of things… I didn’t really see it coming until it was going to happen. Somaliland, my preferred African country of study...

China's Bubble is Going to Burst

China – Will it exist in 20 years?

By B Cole, Wednesday, August 10, 2011.
