Can I take a moment to brag on my PB family right quick? Because this summer has been so, so real. Stacia is running the social media show at ColorLines. Jamelle will be covering politics at the Daily Beast. Joel is the new sportswriter at BuzzFeed. Angela’s debut novel, Haunting Detroit, was purchased by Houghton-Mifflin Read More
Why is the PB fam all over up in your iTunes and your Stitcher, though?
We’ve made mention of this recently on the podcast and on the blog but the time has finally come: the PB massive is taking its snarky ruminations over to the Huffington Post BlackVoices. It’s exciting. It’s terrifying. And we need you to come along with us. What makes PB so much fun for us is the Read More
We everywhere: Monica appeared on Public Radio International’s “Here and Now” to talk about all those promised green jobs that just aren’t showing up. (This was the subject of her very good cover story for The American Prospect from last November.) Jamelle recently recorded a BloggingHeads with Peter Suderman of Reason magazine in which they Read More

Jamelle, our resident political wunderkind, is now also blogging at his new digs over at True/Slant. Brokey McPoverty, our resident jokestress, is now snapping on your uncle’s church suit over at The Urban Daily. Please make a note of it.
We’re going to try to give Treme, the new HBO series by David Simon set in post-Katrina New Orleans, the same weekly recap treatment we gave to The Wire and that we give to Mad Men and Lost. (But apparently part of the ethos of postbourgiedom is not having HBO.) We hope to have the Read More
I’d like to make you all aware of a new post category we’ll be employing: “X May Very Well Be Racist, But This Doesn’t Prove It.” It’s a phrase we at PB say a LOT amongst ourselves when it comes to the various racegates that seem to pop up regularly. After calls from Barack Obama Read More
Awhile back, we had tinkered with the idea of instituting a commenting policy for readers, but we decided that we’d fall back on the commonsensical rules in place over at Bitch PhD’s spot: don’t be obnoxious.
