Well, at least on my personal blog, 'cause a sista has been putting in work on SoulBounce on the daily. But that's neither here nor there, because my poor original spot has been collecting cobwebs and dust bunnies. For shame! Even Baby Butta is giving Grown-A Butta the side-eye for being a trifling (personal) blogger. I'm gonna try to do better, y'all.http://www.itslikebuttababy.com/2008/04/butta-onyeah-im-giving-myself-side-eye.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Butta)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13062886.post-8881970559238723377Mon, 10 Mar 2008 07:17:00 +00002008-03-10T03:39:01.386-04:00On My GrindThe Write Stuff Please excuse my CP time with this, but I wanted to let the good folks who read my blog know that I am featured in this month's issue of Clutch.

There's some nonsense about the shady Clintons and if Black America owes them a debt or somesuch. Beneath that headline is another about the pole dancing fitness craze. In true Ebony fashion, they're only about 3 years late on that one.
