Updates have been few and far between this week, but hey I've been preoccupied trying to make the best of a terrible situation. If your close to me at all you'll know what I'm talking about, and if you're even closer to me, you'll know that I won big given the cards I was dealt. Neway, I'm actually sitting in the MGM grand theatre right now getting ready to watch the Cirque du Soleil "KA" performance, the picture is of the strip at night off of the balcony of the resort.

Movie Review: Vicky Cristina Barcelona

Written and Directed by Woody Allen



This film (I don't really want to classify it as a movie) was artistic on many different levels. Set in Barcelona Spain it chronicles the romatic involvement bewteen two American women on holiday and a Spanish painter. Their love triangle grows as former spouses and new marriges complicate the equation. Thematicly speaking the director does a good job of showing how love is what we make it, and does not always fit into the sterotypes placed upon it by today's society. It was a very artistic film and the colors of Spain along the references to various pieces of art and architecture add something special to the theme of the movie. The acting is not noticable as it should be with any great film. It reminded me of a foreign film that movie buffs refer too all the time, but you never actually watch. Im very glad I sat down and saw this movie.

Watch it for yourself. [HERE]

The [Former] President's Resume

GEORGE W. BUSH

Work Experience

LAW ENFORCEMENT: I was arrested in Kennebunkport, Maine in 1976 for driving under the influence of alcohol. I pled guilty, paid a fine, and had my driver's license suspended for 30 days. My Texas driving record has been "lost" and is not available.

MILITARY: I joined the Texas Air National Guard and went AWOL. I refused to take a drug test or answer any questions about my drug use. By joining the Texas Air National Guard, I was able to avoid combat duty in Vietnam.

COLLEGE: I graduated from Yale University. I earned a lot of "gentleman's C's," which means F's that are turned into C's for sons of prominent Americans.

PAST WORK EXPERIENCE: I ran for U.S. Congress and lost. I began my career in the oil business in Midland, Texas in 1975. I bought an oil company, but couldn't find any oil in Texas. The company went bankrupt shortly after I sold all my stock.

I bought the Texas Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that took land using taxpayer money.

With the help of my father and our right-wing friends in the oil industry (including Enron CEO Kenneth Lay), I was elected Governor of Texas.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS GOVERNOR:
I changed Texas pollution laws to favor power and oil companies, making Texas the most polluted state in the Union. During my tenure, Houston replaced Los Angeles as the most smog-ridden city in America.

I cut taxes and bankrupted the Texas treasury to the tune of billions in borrowed money.

I set the record for the most executions by any Governor in American history.

With the help of my brother, the Governor of Florida, and my father's appointments to the Supreme court, I became President after losing by over 500,000 votes.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT:
I invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing cost of over one billion dollars per week.

I am the first president in U.S. history to enter office with a criminal record.

I spent the U.S. surplus and effectively bankrupted the U.S. Treasury.

I shattered the record for the largest annual deficit in U.S. history.

I set an economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 12-month period.

I set the all-time record for the biggest drop in the history of the U.S. stock market.

I set the all-time record for most days on vacation in any one year period. In my first year in office, after taking off the entire month of August, I presided over the worst security failure in U.S. history, resulting in the disaster of 9-11.

I am supporting development of a nuclear "Tactical Bunker Buster," a WMD. In my State Of The Union Address, I lied about our reasons for attacking Iraq, then blamed the lies on our British friends.

I set the record for most campaign fund-raising trips by a U.S. president.

In my first year in office more than 2-million Americans lost their jobs, and that trend continues every month.

I set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period.

I appointed more convicted criminals to my administration than any president in U.S. history.

I set the record for the least amount of press conferences than any president since the advent of television.

I presided over the biggest energy crisis in U.S. history, and refused to intervene when corruption involving the oil industry was revealed.

I presided over the highest gasoline prices in U.S. history.

I have cut health care benefits for war veterans, and I support a cut in duty benefits for active duty troops and their families in war time.

Internationally, I have set the all-time record for the most people worldwide to simultaneously protest me in public venues (15 million people), shattering the record for protests against any person in the history of mankind.

I have broken more international treaties than any president in U.S history.

I am proud that the members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in U.S. history. My "poorest millionaire," Condoleeza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her.

I am the first president in U.S. history to order an unprovoked, pre-emptive attack and the military occupation of a sovereign nation. I did so against the will of the United Nations, the majority of U.S. citizens, and the world community.

I created the Ministry of Homeland Security, the largest bureaucracy in the history of the United States government.

I am the first president in U.S. history to have the United Nations remove the U.S. from the Human Rights Commission.

I withdrew the U.S. from the World Court of Law. I refused to allow inspectors access to U.S. prisoners of war detainees, and thereby have refused to abide by the Geneva Convention.

I am the first president in history to refuse United Nations election inspectors. (during the 2000 U.S. presidential election).

I am the all-time U.S. and world record-holder for receiving the most corporate campaign donations.

My largest lifetime campaign contributor, and one of my best friends, Kenneth Lay, presided over the largest corporate bankruptcy fraud in U.S. history, causing hundreds of thousands of Americans to lose their retirement funds. My political party used the Enron private jets and corporate attorneys to assure my success with the U.S. Supreme Court during my election decision.

I have protected my friends at Enron and Halliburton against investigation, or prosecution. In the meantime, more time and money was spent investigating the Monica Lewinsky affair than has been spent investigating one of the biggest corporate rip-offs in history.

I garnered the most sympathy for the U.S. after the World Trade Center attacks and less than a year later made the U.S. the most hated country in the world, the largest failure of diplomacy in world history.

I am first president in history to have a majority of Europeans (71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and security.

I changed U.S. policy to allow convicted criminals to be awarded government contracts.

RECORDS AND REFERENCES: All records of my tenure as Governor of Texas are now in my father's library, sealed, and unavailable for public view.

All records of SEC investigations into my insider trading and my bankrupt companies are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view.

All records or minutes from meetings that I, or my Vice-President, attended regarding public energy policy are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public review.

How To Kill a Zombie

What a Zombie may look like (Artist Rendering)

4 Different Ways:

DECAPITATION.

To kill zombies, you need to destroy their brains. The most surefire route is simply lopping off the cranium with a chainsaw, machete, or samurai sword. Mind the follow-through, however-- anything less than 100 percent severance just isn't good enough.

BLUDGEONING.

Any blunt object--from a baseball bat to a brick--wielded with suitable force at the cranium will destroy the brain. But be quick on your feet and keep your eye on the target, slugger--when you're this close to a zombie, miss even once and you might as well just hand your brains to the zombie on a silver platter.

BURNING.

Don't have the convenience of a sniper rifle to take out zombies from afar? The next best thing is a Molotov cocktail--just make sure the zombies are far enough away so they'll be reduced to ashes before they can shamble after you.

EXPLODING.

A solid technique, but one that requires heavy weaponry. In the chaos that will doubtlessly strike an urban center after a zombie infestation, make your way to a military storehouse or a morally dubious pawn shop and acquire a rocket launcher. Then shoot, load, and repeat.

Please, in the event of a Zombie attack, don't try to be a hero, just remain safe. Chances are you have a high chance of becoming a Zombie if you get bitten by one, soo... DONT GET BITTEN (shoot to kill)

This is probably one of the greatest Neptunes beats EVER, possibly a strong second after grinding. Rell was snappin on this one. The actual song describes so much about the lifestyle, simply put. Maybe one of the best produced songs on the Black Album and a real testament to why some would argue that HOVA is the greatest of all time.

So let me see if I got this straight --

World renowned Harvard professor and best-selling author Henry Louis Gates, Jr. comes home from a trip abroad to communist China where he was filming a video about America. His driver brings him to his home in Cambridge Massachusetts, and he notices his front door is jammed or otherwise locked. He cannot get in. He goes around back (as all of us would) and finds a way into his home. A concerned neighbor calls the police and the police show up. Gates produces his driver's license and Harvard ID and within a matter of minutes he is arrested for so-called "loud and tumultuous" behavior.

Welcome to post-racial America , black folks. This is the America of 2009, where we live in a Twighlight Zone of sorts. On the one hand, we have school kids in Philadelphia who cannot swim in a pool at a suburban country club (where, by the way, arrangements had been made for kids to do so in the summer) -- because according to the club president, they might change the "complexion" of the club.

And on the other hand, we have in Barack Obama the nation's first black president, who has an African/Arabic surname: "Hussein Obama." We have in Michelle Obama an accomplished, Ivy League educated, black first lady who is of a darker ebony complexion and allows her young daughters to sport ethnocentric hair braids to school and White House functions.

Then there is Judge Sonia Sotomayor. The nation's first presumed Latina Supreme Court Justice-to-be, who also hails from humble roots in the Bronx, is Ivy League educated, and whose awe inspiring American story evokes not pride, but suspicion and fear from Republican Senators and conservatives alike. Go figure.

Now we have Gates -- a 60-year-old baby boomer, Harvard professor, founder of theROOT.com and friend of Oprah. He is the epitome of black success in America. And yet, in an hour standing in his own home he was badgered about who he was and why he was there and was further reduced to a black male criminal at the hands of lesser educated, ignorant, local Boston police (need I say more) who I believe lied in the arrest report to cover their tracks. But this is nothing new really -- is it?

My point is this: All of this talk about a so-called "post-racial" America is bogus. There is no such thing. America's greatest sin is the issue of "race." And until we really talk about our individual and collective fears and biases out in the open, we will continue to see eruptions, anger, misunderstanding and humiliation perpetrated on others who are of a different hue.

In the final analysis, America has not changed at all. Yes, we have made progress -- of this there can be no doubt -- but it is what lurks underneath, it is what people feel they are rightfully entitled to (e.g., Pat Buchanan's very recent rant against Judge Sotomayor and protecting white men in America) that drives them to denigrate and deride others.

Professor Gates is someone who deserves better from America. He has played by the rules, been a good citizen, a model citizen in fact. Yet, at the end of the day, he was just another black man residing while black.

Halle Berry, Halle Berry!

I know that I've been a little heavy with the videos today but for good reason. Ellen seems to coax EVERYONE who comes on her show into dancing. I really wish I could have seen the whole episode of the show. I wonder what Halle was thinking when her publicist/personal assisant came and told her that a young "hood" rapper made a song about her, and that there is a dance to accompany it. Probably something along the lines of "Are you serious?"



PLEASE note, Halle actually does the dance justice, she really is fine... (Ellen kills it too)



This is an old video of Hurricane Chris performing his song "Halle Berry" in front of the Louisiana state legislature That's just a snippet of the Tom Foolery, the full video can be seen here

All I'm saying is you know you've made it when they start making songs about you (good or bad)
