Sweet Relief

Rapper Kanye West says he's going to entertain rather that talk politics. This may actually boost his record sales.

So last Friday, the "artist" decided that instead of following the script to gain funds for the American Red Cross to help relief efforts along the Gulf Coast, he would take it freestyle, and set the record straight on the President. In this bit, West cleared us up on many things, including that he can't make a complete sentence without a heavy bass tone behind him and that George W. Bush doesn't like black people.

Thanks, Kanye. I was beginning to think the rioting and violence in New Orleans was due to lack of organization and an influx of cabin fever.

Dancing with the Devil?

So thanks to my friend, Mark, who sent me this link.

Two things to learn from this: a.) don't refuse the stripper and b.) sin does have it's consequences.

Something about the fact that this girl's name is Lawanda just makes it funnier for me, too. It's like "Iggy" in Fried Green Tomatoes, who often refers to herself as "Lawanda." I kind of wonder about that scene where Iggy and Ruth throw canned foods and vegetables to the homeless along the train tracks. The first time I heard this story, I imagined this scene, only Lawanda the stripper was jumping from the train...
