Here's a jem...

So they finally did it eh?? They kicked Latoya, the best singer on American Idol off..
I see America has a problem with seeing black people succeed consistantly...too much haterism!

Bushism of the day: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A57791-2004Apr30.html ""There's a lot of people in the world who don't believe that people whose skin color may not be the same as ours can be free and self-govern," Bush said.

"I reject that. I reject that strongly. I believe that people who practice the Muslim faith can self-govern. I believe that people whose skins aren't necessarily -- are a different color than white can self-govern."

...it seems that Mr. Sean "P Diddy" Combs has landed himself on the Worst Song List by Blender Magazine. Puffy is LOOOONG overdue of such...eh...recognition...truth is he's just plain wack. But I guess he's a good businessman like everyone says...even still, we all know he's rhymes are wack, production is so-so, he had that stint with J-lo (hey that could have been a puffy rhyme!) Interestingly enough, the song that made it on there was "Missing You" which I don't think is the worst Puffy song..but Anyway, all I have to add to this is Congratulations Sir! Well deserved.

In other news...
A Congressional team selected to view the remaining unreleased photos of abused Iraqi prisoners said that the these pictures were "worse then before". One congressman, Colorado Republican Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell, had the nerve to declare, "I don't know how the hell these people got into our army," said after viewing what he called a fraction of the images. Hhmmmmmm....well, I can tell you how they got into the army....you recruited them! Not only that, YOU, Rep. Campbell, signed the declartion allowing the United States to embark on this imperialistic, colonial, oil-motivated, occupation, now known as "the situation in Iraq".

Congress should not be surprised or outraged, because they basically gave the Dept. of Defense and the Executive Branch, free reign over the war including hundreds of billions of funds, that went to private contractors who do not care about human rights and don't even know what the Geneva Convention is. Feigning ignorance and alarm is soooo like the elite. Even though this country has a history of brutalization and violence, like sending postcards of lynched African Americans still hanging on a tree to family and friends...(crazy huh? read about it in Ida B. Wells "On Lynching").

These people who ordered and carried out these abuses are merely the descendents of those who brutalized citizens of this country generation after generation. One last point, God Bless Nicholas Berg and peace be upon his soul, for the manner in which he died was horrific; however, in all objectivity, those who beheaded him believe that they are defending their territory (Iraq) from being a permanent Colony of the U.S... While that's not justifiable, its understandable.
