6766: Who’s On First?


Firsts of fury in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• American Girl is introducing its first Jewish doll, Rebecca Rubin, the daughter of Russian immigrants living in New York in the early 1900s. Given that Addy the Black doll is a fugitive slave, look for Rebecca to struggle with life in the Jewish ghettos. Such sweet imagery for little girls.

• President Barack Obama picked former astronaut Charles F. Bolden to lead NASA. If approved, Bolden will be the first Black NASA administrator. Change has come to outer space too.

• Citigroup honcho Richard Parsons will soon be introducing his first love child, as the married executive is fathering a kid with model-philanthropist MacDella Cooper. Look for Parsons to offer bailout baby money.

• Kinda late on this news, but ex-NFL star Michael Vick left prison on Wednesday to serve his remaining sentence via house confinement. Hound-lovers probably think it should be doghouse confinement.
