Bill O'Reilly and Young Jeezy
Recently Young Jeezy and Jay-z were criticized for their current single "My President is Black" and in a way have all the reason to do so. Freedom of speech, but Bill O'Reilly particularly called out Young Jeezy and to guest on his show. Young Jeezy opened up his house to Katrina victims, has spent his own money in feeding and providing for victims and the poor. I'm curious to see what Bill's yearly donations list looks like. Granted Jeezy is part of a genre of music that can be explicit, derogatory and at times the wrong example on how one should live their life but the same could be said about actors who portray less than reputable characters or directors and producers who make violent and offensive movies. This past election we have seen the ugly in many, Blacks, whites and other minorities, we've seen how much opposition their is about electing a black president, even if he is more qualified than most. For those who thought the race barrier was gone, its been dormant and it came out again. At least young jeezy has an excuse for rapping and doing what he does. Whats your excuse Bill? Maybe like you wrote in your book, your excuse is the life of privilege you led. Your show is based on rants that sometimes are not thought through enough. I've said enough.

What really grinds my gears!
President Obama cut back on infrastructure spending and added more tax cuts in bill to please republicans, tax cuts don't help the economy!
Senator McCain on Fox news said that the 6 billion set for Broadband funding is a waste of taxpayers money, yet on April 23 2008 on his campaign trail, he said that spreading Internet access for everyone across the country is the governments responsibility! So whats the difference now? Not one republican voted for stimulus package. Damn the GOP!

Prince & The Revolution Revisited
Kanye's clothing choices are incredible. Wish I had the money to dress like that.

Not cool
Bolivians today backed new constitution in voting today. In wide spectrum, it helps in improving the conditions of the indigenous majority. But, in the long run in a country where the president is backed by a very uneducated majority, can lead to laws that maybe unfair or not democratic in being passed by an unaware and easily swayed majority.

Less trash
Well there's at least one good thing that has come from the recession. Less trash, land fills are being filled with less trash because people are buying less.

Not bad
Well, a little while ago, there was talks of Kanye West working with YSL on a shoe and it's out. Funny how I remember people laughing at me when I wore red sneakers.

That's life!
Blagojevich's wife was fired from her $100,000 a year job and with her husband facing impeachment, what will they do? I guess playing the tough and powerful and abusing it doesn't pay.
Really?
Fox commentator know it all Chris Wallace recently said this on President Obama not reciting the oath correctly after Justice John Roberts incorrectly read it to him. "I'm not sure that Barack Obama really is the president of the United States" Well Christopher Wallace, I would imagine that a man with your experience in interviewing 3 past presidents and graduating from Harvard University, one would think that you would know that at exactly 12 on the day of the inauguration, the president elect automatically takes position regardless of taking oath.
Rush the crazy dragon recently said that he hopes Obama fails, really Rush? you represent the extreme right and you want our president to fail and our country to continue to get worse? Your argue that you disagree with government controlling the private sector. Well Rush the crazy dragon, not keeping tabs on the private sector is one of the reasons our country is in the mess its in.

Mayor Corey Booker and deliciousness.
So this morning on NPR, I listened to an interview with Mayor Booker and once again after a couple of jokes on him using the word deliciousness, Mayor Corey Booker used it again. In all seriousness, Mayor Booker belongs to a group of young black politicians born post key civil right moments in history that include Gov of Mass Deval Patrick, Philly Mayor Michael Nutter and our own president Barack Obama.

Jumping out the window, revisited, much better than first recording.

Said this before and will say it again.
This man will not only go down in history for being the first Black American President but more importantly what he will do and already has done during transition. Just listened to an interview on NPR, Republican Revolution Man Newt Gingrich has given President Obama two thumbs up on his appointments.

Polaroid
Last year, Polaroid announced they would no longer make their famous instant picture products. But their back with this. Hope it's as fun as the originals.
Listen to what this man says and read his work.
At 28, he's the Washington DC editor for The Nation. Good weekly magazine.
Steve Jobs feeling ill.
Steve Jobs taking leave of absence till June. Wonder if it will effect stock price and product updates.
This is why I want to be thin!
And yet my wardrobe is filled with clothes like this, but when I put it on, I look like I'm wearing my younger brothers clothes, much much younger brother.
Google good or bad?
A study revealed that a Google search emits 7 g of carbon dioxide. In a era where we are trying to reduce carbon emissions, Google searches have become targets. In related news, a Google search helps find missing child using a mobile phone signal and Google street view. You be the judge.
Good music this year
Lady Gaga and Chester French on tour this year. House of Blues Boston in March. Yes I'm going.
This will be an interesting year for rap music as well. A whole fleet of new rappers with different looks and different sounds are releasing albums in 2009.
Quick comment
I remember people laughing at me when I was wearing cardigans 2 years ago, wearing ties casually 3 years ago. Buying and wearing bow ties. Wearing scarfs, heavy and light. Well people, take a look at fashion magazines and your Gap ads, guess what they're wearing.
Movies I'm excited about this year.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Star Trek
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
2012
G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra
He's an idiot
Sean Hannity back in 2007 allowed a good friend of his Ted Nugent to use the B word on describing Hilary Clinton but complains about rappers using the same word. I guess it's ok for white Republican southern rock musicians to use it, especially in describing former First Ladies.
Gaza conflict
In just 3 weeks, death toll of palestinians reaches 1000 from Israeli attacks. Aren't they supposed to be attacking Hamas, not civilians?
Hey guess what!
The President just awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Colombian President Alvaro Uribe. By the way, the Uribe adminstration is guilty of horrific human rights abuses.
Really?
Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly defend torture by citing the Fox show "24".
In that case, I defend the existence of vampires by citing "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"

NFL predictions
I was 3 for 3 on my predictions from this weekend, stay tuned for my predictions for this sunday.
Saturday, January 10, 2009
Pistol's NFL predictions for the weekend!
1. Arizona over Carolina, Why? Cause Tweety Bird was always more clever than Sylvester.
2. Philly over NY, Why? Cause during the Philly-Cowboys game, McNabb had a smile on his face that says he's going all the way. That is until they meet up with the Steelers.
3. Pittsburgh over San Diego, Why? Cause steel conducts electricity and it will F*** San Diego's charge tomorrow.
