Spot-On: Hot Spots

Why should TV and YouTube pundits have all the fun? Media Mandate, a political strategy firm (campaign consultants) wants everyone in on the action. Between now and midnight Jan. 2, you can go to their 2008 Puditology Challenge and make your predictions. Just like Tim Russert or George Will.

Be warned, this prediction contest - which is a bit of gimmick to help Media Mandate collect email addresses - ain't for amateurs. Some of the calls it asks for are pretty tough. But it's fun and it's today's HotSpot.

Happy New Year.

The reinvigorated Afro-Netizen.com isn't the only site on the web compiling news and views from African-American writers. But with pointers to traditional media outlets, blogs, YouTube videos and pretty much everything and anything that strikes founder and chief evangelist Chris Rabb's fancy, it sure is one of of the most interesting. And it's today's HotSpot.
