I didn't clean out my reader over the weekend. You, the reader, reap the benefits!
- Maya Angelou and Oprah Winfrey are going to get into political catfights. Maybe I'll really learn Angelou still rises.
- Shitty rappers extraordinaire Dwayne Carter (Lil' Wayne) and Jeff Atkins (Ja Rule) were arrested in the Big Apple on gun possession charges. I guess calling Ja Rule a shitty rapper is an insult. I mean, nothing he can do could be worse than that track he did with J-Lo "I'm Real". Thinking about it gave me a shiver.
- In sad news, baseballs kill.
- Romney should brush up on his Marx before he goes off trying to hate on Hill-Money (that's Hillary Clinton for all the squares).
- If politics were about money, the Dems would have 2008 on lock.
- Tammy Faye died this weekend. I direct you to Shakesville's main editor Melissa McEwan who wrote a much better commemoration to her than I ever could have.
- In the UK, there's nothing wrong with rocking the Folex.
- In another people being stupid with their iPod affair, a woman in Britain is being charged for contempt in court because she listened to her iPod, or to be fair her "mp3 player", instead of the evidence of the trial. Seriously?
- Buju Banton stops being homophobic because he hates being broke more than he hates gay people.
- The White House has issued an order which says that the Justice Department cannot do its appointed job. And who said bipartisanship is dead? Wait, scratch that.
- OxyContin's makers finally realize that their drug probably has fucked up a few too many people.
- Facebook is under fire for partaking in that formal tradition of Harvard: biting other people's ideas.
- More journalistic ink spilled about the democracy of YouTube. Also, there's a debate tonight on CNN using questions from YouTube. You know, in case you didn't know from the plugging of the event for the past 2 months or so.
- Apparently, Lindsay Lohan liked to keep it natural in rehab.
- When keeping it real goes wrong, a kid in Fort Worth got arrested for flashing gang signs at a car. Unfortunately, undercover cops were driving said car.
- The supercomputer domination of human life continues on. First stage was chess. The next stage is poker.
- The Onion A.V. Club shows some love to The Simpsons.
- The British, even though we totally kicked their ass in the Revolutionary War, will be fully examined when entering the country. And the Department of Homeland Security: 100% Perv.
- This article is about filibusters. I'm only posting it because it has a graphic. Woo, failure to close discussion and slow down the business of the government to protect the public!!!!
- Cindy Sheehan is a lady who wants to put some chutzpah back in Congress. And she's taking her fight straight to the lady in charge: Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
