Welcome to The Now

As bad as George W. Bush was, he revolutionized the presidency. He was the first president who only served the people that voted for him. He ran the country like a cable network; he only catered to his subscribers . Obama's main fault is not realizing that's kind of what people want. That whole trying-to-make-everybody-happy thing is done. People who voted for him want him to do what Bush did. And whoever's the next president will do what Bush did. - - Chris Rock, in his Rolling Stone interview .

Awesome-sauce .

Although Rush apologized (as only he can) he couldn't stop the bleeding . Combine that with Ms. Fluke's reaction - where she makes legitimate comments about the timing, medium and wording - and Rush was forced to keep going to the I'm Sorry Well. To that end, he has another target ( 1st it was liberals): rappers . I'll just let the great urban philosopher Chris Rock respond to how much rappers get away with:

Interesting take .

Jesus; why are people so faction-happy? I can barely read or watch the so-called "news" because it's all about one "ism" or another: conservatism , liberalism , fascism , communism , populism . Of course, with the economy swirling around the drain the big "Ism War" is between Capitalism and Socialism ( three guess on who's winning ). I like Chris Rock's take on the whole thing: Listen to the issue Think about it Then make your decision Because like he said, " no normal decent person " is one thing all the damn time . A person who sees every single issue through an "ism" would go insane (if they weren't already). But maybe that's it; maybe the "Isms" have slowly taken over. Maybe we're just witnessing a scene from Stephen King's "The Stand" where people have to make a choice of who they're going to side with (only it's more than two choices). So I'll continue to do my best at...

Here are some videos that have gotten me thinking about our current election. Remember Dave Chapelle's "Black Bush?" Idiocracy's Presidential Speech, which sounds alot like McCain promising to balance the entire Budget and creating peace in the Middle East in under four years: And who could forget Mays Gilliam's debate from Head of State (and I so wished Obama had said what Mays said right before the end) :
