i swear to the FSM.

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

Since the Saudis are doing their best to obscure the exact amount of oil they are sitting on, they and the rest of the OPEC jerks are bent on squeezing as much money out of the car addicts as possible. Oil production doesn’t even have to obey the laws of regularly accepted Keynesian macroeconomics—the basics of supply and demand. Have you seen how hard the Saudis have been ballin recently? People here seem to think rappers have money because they have a heavy pendant on a platinum chain. I find it incredibly amusing that the FSM decided to locate the countries that hate our guts but love our money directly over oceans of Black gold. This effects me directly in (2) ways:

1) There will eventually be a final world war that has nothing to do with the Antichrist or Armageddon. It’ll all come down to resource allocation between the largest oil consuming countries (China, America, Russia)–who will be fighting over the last drop of that sweet crude goodness. Hell it may jump off before then based on the geniuses who control this country. This bothers me because I haven’t sourced all the necessary funding to build my spaceship allowing me to get the fuck off this doomed planet before it’s reduced to radioactive space dust.

2) As the price of gas keeps climbing, and the government keeps making money off of the taxes on it–some asshole somewhere is going make regular internal combustion fuel cars illegal at some point. It’d be nice if the government subsidized at least SOME gas costs, but I guess when you’re spending 500 billion a year in ‘defense’ you don’t have the money to actually help your citizens get by. This affects me because the entire point of my life on this planet revolves around my eventual and unavoidable aquisition of the Ferrari F430 Scuderia.

I swear to the Flying Spaghetti Monster that if I have the $230,000 ready to get one and they tell me I have to buy a pussy-boy matt damon dirt-powered hippie hybrid ghey pseudocar, someone’s getting shot. Believe that.

$64 million, 4 wins and 6 losses later…

^negro please.

My stellar research team just alerted me to this dude making Carl Peterson and the rest of the Chiefs look like even bigger idiots for signing him to that massive contract. While the rest of the team is trying to figure out if they can win any more games the rest of the season with mediocre players, King Pink is ballin out of control in New York when he’s supposed to be rehabbing his shitty ankle. Once again, Pink doesn’t care if the team wins or loses, and he made that clear when he held out in the beginning of the year…3.5 yards per carry and 3 TD’s, Pink? Maybe instead of coonin’ it up in New York you should be doing some damn drills.

Has anyone ever seen all this dude’s teeth out like this? He mopes around KC like the whole world is against him–which they pretty much are at this point considering his lack of production, ‘whoa is me’ demeanor, and his local ‘rapping.’ Damn we shoulda traded him when he was worth shit.

Also, why does Brodie Croyle look like a 14-year old to me?

dope cover art, decent album..

We actually went to go see American Gangster opening night, and I don’t quite understand what all the ruckus is about. The movie was good but not ‘best picture shoe-in’ good. Russell Crowe’s ridiculous attempt at a Jersey accent made my brains inadvertently shut down a few times. Actually, maybe it was that good considering I haven’t been to the theater in at least four months. Not that the movies have been exceptionally poor, but the last couple of time we’ve been to the theater we always end up near those inconsiderate assholes who talk the ENTIRE time. My focus wasn’t so much on the movies playing, but on where specifically I could hit these people in their throats hard enough to render them mute for the remainder of the movie. I think what made the movie ‘meh’ for me was the fact that I watched the American Gangster Series on the History Channel the night prior to seeing the movie and it just so happened to be on Frank Lucas.

Jay’s album is also uninspiringly average yet solid, but this set is A MILLION times better than Kingdom Come. I was so damn disappointed with that trash that I actually threw it away. I rarely give my opinion on an album until it’s been on constant rotation for the first few days, then put away, then re-introduced into the playlist—gotta let it simmer for a while. That shit sucked from the second I put it in the stereo till the second it flew across the room to it’s new trashcan home. I think my cow-lip regard for Jay’s newer stuff is his fault for making me love Reasonable Doubt so much. Same with Nasty Nas and Illmatic.

Maybe I need to let go of the fact that it ain’t 1994-96 anymore and there aren’t a constant stream of solid releases that have me actually buying albums. Ah well.

 

What’s next? Conversion camps?

LOS ANGELES — Civil rights advocates criticized plans by the Los Angeles Police Department to map the city’s Muslim communities, calling it racial profiling. The LAPD’s counterterrorism bureau plans to identify Muslim enclaves in order to determine which might be likely to become isolated and susceptible to “violent, ideologically based extremism,” said Deputy Chief Michael P. Downing on Thursday. “We want to know where the Pakistanis, Iranians and Chechens are so we can reach out to those communities,” said Downing, who heads the counterterrorism bureau.

    I don’t see how dumb shit like this is even up for debate. I’m pretty sure that part of what creates animosity towards the establishment is the sense that you are being unfairly screened, watched, and harassed (need proof? ask a Black guy). What do you think the reaction to this particular brilliant plan is by Muslims around the world? I would think that the smart move here is to realize that there is going to be a percentage of every group of people in America who really want to see parts of it explode. If you’re going to start mapping groups of people who you automatically assume are secretly planning to blow shit up–why haven’t we mapped out all the disenchanted postal workers, disgraced marines, and survivalist psychotics?

We should have all known that any PR department that ever could have worked at such an upstanding, spotless organization as the LAPD has long been replaced by a groups of LSD-enhanced space monkeys.
They say they want to ‘reach out’ to those communities, and that they are likely to ‘be isolated.’ Guess what idiots, singling a group of people out based on their religious affiliation or the country that their from specifically for surveillance….ISOLATES PEOPLE. Congratulations on firmly wedging your heads even further up your collective LAPD assholes.

lol..space monkeys.

Whitlock on Reid

Friday, November 9th, 2007

^ha!

Normally I don’t read Whitlocks’ stuff in its entirety, and usually the comments he generates are MUCH more entertaining than what he writes. The people who generally hate him the worst are also his biggest fans when he’s shitting on OJ, Ron Mexico, Kobe, etc (read:Black folk). But as soon as he starts talking about 70%ers (70 percent of the population…White people, duh), those same chubby chasers that would ask Whitlock for autographs when he’s on their side blasting Blacks are the same losers who want him fired when he talks about they peoples.

“But White sports figures aren’t required to have a social conscience. They can satisfy themselves chasing supermodels and filming cute commercials. America’s morally bankrupt war on drugs, a cause that has killed and destroyed more lives than Vietnam and Iraq combined, has finally put Andy Reid’s kids on the front lines (incarceration), and Andy Reid doesn’t have a damn meaningful thing to say about it.”

^100% accurate. I actually agree with this article, and I’m not really surprised that 70’s get angry when their particular biases are exposed. I have to admit that I’m pretty tired of his deck beginning to ONLY hold race cards, but I guess that’s the little niche that he’s wedged himself into. Everyone’s gotta eat I guess.

“I liked being the rich kid in that area and having my own high-status life,” Garrett Reid told a probation officer, according to reporters covering his court proceedings. “I could go anywhere in the ‘hood. They all knew who I was. I enjoyed it. I liked being a drug dealer … These kids were scared of me. I was even selling to their parents.”

I’m used to White kids riding through and picking up their various illegal fixes from ghettos once their prescriptions get low and their parent’s liquor is on empty, but the audacity of Reid’s kids is pretty appalling. Andy Reid is up there for the inagural ’shitty dad of the year’ award. Apparently financing a viable drug operation and enabling your sons to abuse their RWB (Rich White Boy, duh!) status isn’t as egregious as I thought it should be. Where’s the outrage here?

I guess you have to fight dogs to make headlines anymore…
