DFR Daily French Roast

Anne is reading …

While we defend the insulting, rude, brainless, tasteless tendency of obese Republican men like Wisc. Rep Jim Sensenbrenner and Rush Limbaugh to negatively target First Lady Obama’s body as an absurd example of a person not following her own advice on exercise and healthy eating, The Daily Beast helps us understand the term niggabitch.

What exactly is a niggabitch? Aside from being a combo of two of the vilest words you can call any black woman, it is the headline of a fashion story just published by the Dutch magazine Jackie. In an article on how to dress like “De Niggabitch” Rihanna, the story, translated by Parlour magazine, says, “She has street cred, she has a ghetto a— and she has a golden throat. Rihanna, the good girl gone bad, is the ultimate niggabitch and displays that gladly, and for her that means: what’s on can come off. If that means she’ll be on stage half naked, then so be it.”

MIT Online Education

MIT will announce next Monday that will open courses online free of charge to anyone anywhere in the world. Ten years ago MIT launched its free OpenCourseWare including 2,100 courses now used by more than 100 million people. Describing the type of certificate that will be awarded to students taking courses in the program, the New York Time writes:

The certificate will not be a regular M.I.T. degree, but rather a credential bearing the name of a new not-for-profit body to be created within M.I.T; revenues from the credentialing, officials said, would go to support the M.I.T.x platform and to further M.I.T’s mission.

Br. Dennis on Dreams, Healing & Falling into the Elevator Shaft

Our innovative 2Ps in a Pod blog posts Br. Dennis’ thoughts on Anne’s dream of falling down the elevator shaft and living.

I was intrigued by the “trap-door in the wall, an exit out of the elevator shaft” which seems to be symbolic of your self-reflective attitude and response to life, enabling you to “open doors” with decided effort to move into a new stage of life, as in “walk[ing] onto a picnic table”! This movement brings closure to the old, while continuing the transition into healing the deeper recesses of your being.
