A couple of quick thoughts
Sorry for the sporadic posting. Life has been insane lately and it appears that it will not slow down anytime soon.
I had to get these two stories out just because I found them to be so interesting. The first has to do with the lefts reaction to the increase in gas prices - I know you will be shocked to know that they are happy and wish that the price would go even higher.
"The $3 gas prices posted at the station he passes on the way to work give Kevin Ishaug 20 miles to gloat over how much he saves commuting by bike."
Shark-Bait over at Anti-Strib pretty well eviscerated this. You should go read it.
The second still has me scratching my head.
"R. Kelly compares himself to Muhammad Ali, Marvin Gaye, Bob Marley -- and even Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. -- in a magazine interview that hits the street just in time for the release of his new album this month.
Kelly, the Chicago native who rose from street singer to star before facing criminal charges of having sex with an underage girl, made the comments in the spring/summer issue of Hip-Hop Soul magazine. "
Now I can see Ali, I can see Gaye, I can even see the Marley comparison but Dr. King????? Of course the defense is almost as lame as the original comparison.
"Kelly's publicist, Regina Daniels, said the interview and photo shoot took place in Chicago about a month ago.
"He doesn't think he's Martin Luther King. He's comparing the fact that he is a prolific songwriter of his time; now it's turned into something else," Daniels said. "Whatever Rob said, any way they can stick it to him. If he breathes it's a problem."
No Regina, Dr. King was not a "prolific songwriter". Dr. King was a a man who craved freedom and equality for all. Somone who objectifies women and rapes little girls does not even come close to being in the same rarefied strata as Dr. King.
