This is my first blog post ever. Although I do have a Facebook page, which I use too much, and a Twitter account (follow me at @hiram2424) that I don’t know how to use, I figured I would try to separate my Facebook (which I think is way too heavy for some folks. I might try to make it more about friends, family, and food.) My first short test blog will be about a time when I knew EVEN LESS about blogging and more about late night TV.
HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher used to have a regular segment on the show called “Blogga Please!” So, back in 2008 or so, I wrote on his blog:
“Your liberal white audience may not know that “blogga, please” is a reference to the expression, ‘Nigga please’–but I do. And I think you also know that it’s very offensive–not because you’re using it, but because you think you CAN use it simply because you’re a big liberal. You don’t get a pass. AND because you think we’re too stupid to catch it. Well, I caught it.”
I never saw it on the show again after that. Always made me wonder.
But is Blogga Please the name of his Tumblr blog?
