Badass of the Week: Aung San Suu Kyi

“I wish somebody would!”

So alot of cats talk about being revolutionary. But Ms Aung San is actually doing it. Even more badass is she is not hiding about it. Now i know i don’t know the entire politics of the situation, but i’ve read enough to understand that the Junta don’t take no mess. (Remember the Saffron Revolution crackdowns.) In fact, up until recently they didn’t take anything; criticism, surveys, protests, aid, time for the people - you name it. Read more

Fail: Hillary Clinton

I was hoping it wasn’t gonna come down to this. I’ll flat out say, I didn’t vote for Hillary. Even though I’ve been quoted as saying, “Man, I hate that b***h!”. I really don’t. Everyone knows that the Clinton’s are a proud family that don’t take shyt from nobody, but there has to be a point in time where enough is enough.

This past week, Senator Clinton, when answering the question “Why are you still staying in the race?”, made references to her husband’s June “win” and (unfortunately) Robert F. Kennedy’s June assassination just two weeks before the 40th anniversary of that tragedy. Check it out… Read more

Hold up?! Lindsay Lohan is signed to Motown?!!!

Hmm, how do i say this…. oh right…. “WHAT THE F*CK?!!” My how you’ve fallen Motown. There are SO many artist that should be carrying the legacy of Motown. I mean sure… Lohan… cash cow… if you got the time and materials. But at what cost, Motown?! At what cost?!

Speaking Loudly ≠ Speaking Smartly

You know you’re having a bad day when Chris Matthews of MSNBC’s Hardball makes you look like a damn fool on national TV. The particular “bad-day-haver” I’m talking about is Kevin James, a right-wing radio talk show host out of Los Angeles.

First of all, lemme say that I’m not I’m not the biggest fan of Chris Matthews as he makes the worst analogies EVER. He’s one of those guys that you have to wonder, “How the hell did this guy get a show?” So when this guy chops you to frikkin’ shreds, you just Fail. Read more

Wax Is Sick…

Real real real soon. You know where you heard it first!

Badass of the Week: Kimbo Slice

That’s right, Kimbo f*ckin’ Slice!!

Now, there are some cats you know you’d rather not fight if you can avoid it. Sure you’d try if you had to but you know you wouldn’t win. Like Mike Tyson… he has made it clear he wants to eat your children. Maybe it’s that slight bit of crazy that puts a dude into that category. For instance, Kimbo Slice. Read more

Everyone who doesn’t disagree is invited!!

Cliff note: If I say “Jump”, don’t ask “how high?” just jump til you get it right! Who said you could question me?! You plottin’ on me?!

Recently I was talking to a friend who went to a function in support of the Burmese people. I say “Burma” in support of the opposition in contrast to the officially declared “Myanmar”; besides Bibbidy just sounds better. Anyway, at this function my friend was talking to cats who had been political prisoners in the country. They told him about all the conditions in the prisons (four to a cell, a bucket for biowaste), protests and the zero-tolerance with which they are embraced. Read more

Ain’t THIS Some S@#!

So I get home late today and turn on CNN and what did I see? John “Ulysses” Edwards, the south’s first son dappin’ up Señor Obama. Now I can’t say that this scene came as a complete surprise to me as Edwards has been hinting towards this moment over the past few days. But compared to where they two stood four months ago, it’s actually kind of shocking. Read more

The Interview Process

Let me first say that I’m getting really tired of the fact that every time I talk to one of my very good girlfriends, the conversation seems to always stray off into why no one wants them, or how they’re lonely, or how these guys are ___________.

No one’s provided me w/ any information as to why this is, and although there are theories, nothing concrete. As a result, I have to just assume that when you’re a female and 22-25 yrs old, your own personal worth is determined by the success (or lack) of your significant other, and if you’re one of those hags unlucky enough to NOT have a man, then you might as well just sew it up now and join a convent.

It’s Like…

I was going to wait to write again but can’t. So, on to politics. Lately, I’ve seen several people advocating the need for Barack Obama as president. I just can’t help but wonder if they really mean it. It’s one thing to stand by an ideal, it’s a completely different thing to fight for it. What’s the phrase? Actions are louder then words. I mean you can have your opinions…actually hang on, no you cant! Particularly if you’re not going to do anything about it. I mean honestly folks, what’s the point? Read more
