On a lighter, but still very serious, note...


This man, Mark Sarfo, is one of the best, most genuine people you will ever come across.  In South Central L.A. we mourned the tragic loss of Tupac Shakur in 1996.  In NY we lost the Notorious B.I.G. as he was entering his prime, musically at least.  Count on your hand the number of progressive vanguards of the human race that we've lost when it mattered most - Malcom X, el Che, Huey Newton, Salvador Allende, Martin Luther King - and you'll be searching for an extra hand. After experiencing Argentina, you'll need to grow an extra finger to add to that tally for our man, Nestor Kirchner.  Whether it was simply political pandering and electoral pragmatism or authentic idealism and compassion for the urban poor, in my opinion he did good for the down-and-out Argentinians.  Controversy aside, he may well just be deserving of this 40 oz. remembrance.  If not, just enjoy this moment of Mark being the most badass dutchman of all time.
