Katrina, You Bitch!!!!!!!
I know this subject has been beaten to death everywhere. I just want to say a few things and be done with it. I will start by saying: if you can donate, please do so, visit www.RedCross.org for more info. I’m not one to say this type of stuff but this situation at the absolute least requires that I remind everyone.
About the destruction, frankly, it was as surprising as say Donald Trump suddenly admitting that his hair is fake, seriously, Cat 5 hurricanes don’t come around very often and there is a reason for that, they destroy pretty much everything, so mother nature only unleashes them sparingly. What was surprising was the lack of preparation and the subsequent myriad of brain farts after Katrina was long gone. Its easy to criticize after the fact, so I’ll just say that Louisiana’s governor should seek out the advise of any past Puerto Rico governor, they might be corrupt as hell but they do know how to prepare for situations like these. By no means do I intend to say that PR has ever seen destruction even remotely close to Katrina’s, my point is that proper preparation could have saved many lives. That’s my somewhat subdued rant.
Now on to Kanye West. All of a sudden he is a political activist, I must say I’m impressed even if what he said was somewhat out of place in my opinion. I’m sure MTV would have jumped on the opportunity for a half hour interview (yup, #372) where he could have spoken his mind [although it would not have been on National TV]. Regardless of the appropriateness of the comments, you couldn’t help but laugh (or chuckle at the very least) looking at Mike Myer’s face (see the Sport’s Guy’s blog for more ), unintentional comedy at its best. This even made the daily show on Comedy Central and it was absolutely hilarious.
All for now, flame the comments section if you must.

It's reality at it's worst. A very serious situation in which a lot of people are suffering much more, today than they were the day of the huracaine. It took too long for the government agencies to go in and help those people. All the media exposition of this event made it look like a third country, people stealing, children being molested at the Superdome, no food nor water, lot's of poor people...and it goes on and on. If you get a chance to watch Stephan Marbury's interview two days ago, you'll make perfect sense out of this catastrophe. The man broke down in tears to a point that you could barely understand what he was saying. Coming from a poor family, a very poor family, he really felt it. Today he's going to the Astrodome to aid the people over there.
In another sporty note:
Patriots won last night, but Randy Moss looked great.

This is from the ING account for the bonus. I tried it but it's not working. The code works at first as a order #. But as soon as you enter your personal info and a Reference Code (same # as the order #) it says that is an invalid Ref #. I wrote a comment as an anonymous on that blog seeking for a response. Let me know if you find out anything.

Kanye was always a political activist just by the nature of his lyrics. If he wants to continue to have some political power/influence, he has to learn to put his emotions aside and play the game the way the politicians play.
Donald Trump's hair is fake?

You know...somehow I don't see Kanye political at all, utill that night. To me he had a few "moments" throughout his first album but I struggle to take him seriously if he has songs where he's saying, for example(I'm paraphrasing off course): "...all the girls pass the weed to your motherf$ck&ng man" or "[talking to Talib Kwali]...just drop a couple of lines and maybe I'll be able to give her d#ck all the time and get her high..." To me thats just funny more than anything else.
