I don't agree with Cornel West 100% on this, but I don't 100% disagree either . I would add that he's acting more like Malcolm X than MLK in his analogy. RZA on his movie, and how his life brought him to this point .  Sweet Jesus .  Franchise actresses unite .   " The Minority Majority ."  Lose that belly fat .

The Lakers Chose Mike D'Antoni Because...

Well, the possible reasons include : Kobe doesn't want Phil Jackson to coach again. Jackson made too many demands for the Lakers' Top Brass. Mike D'Antoni's style is more fast-paced, which Kobe seems to prefer. While Jackson did deal with the egos, the plays were more or less designed by Tex Winter, who is no longer around.  D'Antoni has more to prove than Jackson. D'Antoni is cheaper than Jackson. The Lakers may have had to undergo a bigger roster change with Jackson, aka, Reason #6. Jackson only likes coming in when a team is on the brink of winning a championship, and the Lakers aren't close.

How Did The Ten Richest Counties In America Vote In The 2012 Election?

Paul Krugman Really *Is* Tired Of Trying To Reason With You People

From The Man himself : Even though preliminary estimates suggest that Democrats received somewhat more votes than Republicans in Congressional elections, the G.O.P. retains solid control of the House thanks to extreme gerrymandering by courts and Republican-controlled state governments. And Representative John Boehner, the speaker of the House, wasted no time in declaring that his party remains as intransigent as ever, utterly opposed to any rise in tax rates even as it whines about the size of the deficit. So President Obama has to make a decision, almost immediately, about how to deal with continuing Republican obstruction. How far should he go in accommodating the G.O.P.’s demands? My answer is, not far at all. Mr. Obama should hang tough, declaring himself willing, if necessary, to hold his ground even at the cost of letting his opponents inflict damage on a still-shaky economy. And this is definitely no time to negotiate a “grand bargain” on

Quote of the Day

"Obviously, we need Ben Affleck to direct a film starring Tom Cruise and Kristen Stewart, with soundtrack by Metallica. See how the world handles that. Jay Cutler can throw wraps to the cast at lunchtime and curse them out when they drop it." -- " Pitt The Elder ," on this Cracked.com post .

Their private bubble (where t hey had Romney winning by a landslide ) was burst in spectacular fashion . Karl Rove, Mr. " We Won Florida in 2000 Fair & Square So Get Over It Liberals " h ad a political heart attack . Mainly because he took a lot of shady money from rich Republicans and didn't deliver. RedState is reacting like they normally do , TBH. The Romney Campaign was apparently hypnotized . Here is the bottom line, GOP, as this Daily Kos diarist put it : There are not enough angry white men left, have you got that? However there are plenty of young women to keep you out of office for the foreseeable future. I would modify this to say: There are not enough angry heterosexual Christian white men left . Until you start accepting women, gays, Muslims, African-Americans, Latinos, bisexuals, Atheists and others, your tent will get smaller. Your fiscal and social philosophy needs to modify on a state-to-state level. It's not because "you&

One Reason I Don't Have Many Online Subscriptions

As a business major and recent MBA, I found myself signing up for many business-related websites. One of them was BusinessDictionary.com. Today, I received an email from one of their sponsors, Porter Stansberry, of Stansberry Research: Dear Reader, Most people believe the next election is all about whether or not Obama will have a second term. But it’s not. The truth is, the next election has already been decided. Obama is going to win. It’s nearly impossible to beat an incumbent president. What’s actually at stake right now is whether or not he will have a third-term. There’s a secret to understanding how we know Obama will seek a third term. There’s a secret to how he’ll garner the power to win, yet again… and keep power through 2020 – or even beyond. These things will change the political climate here and abroad. These new forces will increase the wealth of the United States and improve our standing in the world economy. But… in the process… they will also empo
