This week's SynCast is a mishmash of stuff, mostly hip-hop and a little Cornel West thrown in for good measure. And Mumia Abu-Jamal. Enjoy.

Stock Photography Turns Up in the Darndest Places

Check out this screenshot from a recent online edition of The Final Call, a publication of the Nation of Islam -- a group working for the "Principles of Divine Unity". Note the image of the professional African-American woman used to promote the national conference on HIV/AIDS.

Now look at this advert from the American Humanist Association, an organization dedicated to promoting ethical lives "without supernaturalism". Recognize the woman?

So .. is she affiliated with the Principles of Divine Unity, seeking to combat HIV/AIDS? Or is she an un-supernaturalist humanist, working for public education and the environment? You can't play both sides of the fence like this, Lady with a Pink Blouse! We need an affiliation from you, please.
