This is why I love YouTube. I'm not one for browsing random videos for hours, but when someone recommends, I usually check it out. I wanted to post these two unrelated clips... The first combining my and my sister's affinity for Home Alone and our obsession with Saw. The second is a great clip of guys doing a quick mashup of Lady Gaga hits....ENJOY!

A Thin Line Between Love/Hate/Late Night
Check out this video of Jimmy Kimmel doing a guest spot on Jay Leno. I appreciate how Leno kept laughing at himself and didn’t take it too seriously, although he was clearly unprepared for this level of ethering….As funny as Conan is, Leno is still a late night giant….NBC is the real party to blame for screwing this up and making their star look bad while losing a talent like Conan. The vid is pretty funny either way….ENJOY.

HEADLINE: Harry Reid Uses the N-Word, Bill Clinton’s Hood Is Overlooked, In Response To It All, Obama says “What Else Is New?”
Obviously, the Democrats need Reid right now more than ever, and can’t afford to toss their leader to the wolves. Reid has played an integral role in the Obama administration’s legislative agenda, and must remain at his post if healthcare reform has any chance of passing. And obviously, what he said, although as insensitive as the word Negro itself, is true. Obama did benefit from being light-skinned and he doesn’t speak with Negro dialect. Translation – these are white people safe words. He is what they call, the good kind, the safe kind…as opposed to a dark-skinned black man who speaks with Negro dialect i.e., Flavor Flav, Stanley Tookie Williams, Ron Artest, and other unsafe “negroes”. He was just stating a fact. He knows what white people think, and he knows that although most whites still lock their car doors when we walk by and grab their purses when we get in the elevator, there are at least “acceptable” degrees of Negro. He knows that those same whites would still probably lock their cars when a man who looks like Barack Obama walks by, and grab their purses when a man who looks like Barack Obama gets in an elevator, but if they could just hear him speak….they’d see he wasn’t talking Jive like the Negroes in Airplane! or talking DUMBUNEDUCATEDCOON like the Negroes on BET and VH1. He was just stating the obvious, in the most ignorant way he knew how. But that should be overlooked….why? Because we have bigger fish to fry (yep, Negroes love a good fish fry)…..
A new feature for my readers this year will be a week in review column. I’ll be happy if I can crank out three such columns before I get lazy or bored or boring…. But this week, I just couldn’t make it to Friday. This has been a pretty eventful week, and its only Tuesday. So let me just catch you up with my thoughts and comments on the week….thus…far…
HEADLINE: Harry Reid Uses the N-Word, Bill Clinton’s Hood Is Overlooked, In Response To It All, Obama says “What Else Is New?”
Veteran political reporters John Heilemann (New York Magazine) and Mark Halperin (TIME) have penned a new book, Game Change, about the 2008 presidential election. Last week, an excerpt from the book was leaked to the public, which revealed disparaging comments made by Nevada Democratic Senator and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. The book cites comments made by Reid in backroom conversations that he believed Obama could indeed win the presidential election because he was “light-skinned” and "uses no Negro dialect, unless he wants to." Once the story was leaked, Reid apologized to President Obama, Rep. Jim Clyburn, Rev. Al Sharpton, VH1’s Real and Chance, Lil’ Duval, Chester Grundy and every other black person he could find. Democrats have publicly forgiven Reid for his comments, taking the lead of our very light-skinned President, who says he considers the matter closed. Republicans, however, are calling for Reid to step down as Senate Majority Leader in the same manner Dems called for Trent Lott’s resignation from the same post several years ago, after Lott praised segregationist/racist Strom Thurmond and his candidacy for President.
Obviously, the Democrats need Reid right now more than ever, and can’t afford to toss their leader to the wolves. Reid has played an integral role in the Obama administration’s legislative agenda, and must remain at his post if healthcare reform has any chance of passing. And obviously, what he said, although as insensitive as the word Negro itself, is true. Obama did benefit from being light-skinned and he doesn’t speak with Negro dialect. Translation – these are white people safe words. He is what they call, the good kind, the safe kind…as opposed to a dark-skinned black man who speaks with Negro dialect i.e., Flavor Flav, Stanley Tookie Williams, Ron Artest, and other unsafe “negroes”.

Everybody Sing With Me!
"Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains growin' like a breeze.
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads....."

The Tyson Zone 2010
For those of you who follow ESPN sportswriter Bill Simmon’s, I am sure you are familiar with the Tyson Zone. For those who are not, let me explain The Tyson Zone is a term used to describe an athlete or celebrity who has attained a level of notoriety in which you could hear any ridiculous, crazy, unbelievable story about them and you would have no problem believing that it was true. For example, if ESPN reported that Mike Tyson had decided to marry his 17 year old third cousin, move to South America to become an Argentinian Goat Herder/Computer Technician/Official Bread Taster for Paula Dean’s South American Restaurant, I could see that. If he were caught trying to breastfeed a pigeon for pigeon milk in a Wal-Mart parking lot, I could see that. If he were to be arrested for any crime in the books, I could see that. 
(You won’t believe me, but I swear to you that I found that picture AFTER I thought of Mike Tyson breastfeeding a pigeon.) According to Simmons, other celebrities whose behavior have landed them in the Tyson Zone include Omarosa, Gary Busey, Lindsay Lohan’s Dad, the late Michael Jackso, Suge Knight, Flava Flav, anyone in G-Unit, the late ODB, Paris Hilton, Manny Ramirez and all pregnant women. Well it appears that the Tyson Zone is preparing to induct three new members, all from the NBA: Ron Artest, Stephon Marbury, and of course, Gilbert “Gilly” Arenas.

7 Ways To Handle A Noisy Neighbor
I like my apartment. I really do. I’m grateful for a place to lay my head at night ‘cause its damn cold outside. I appreciate my privacy. I like staying up as late as I want watching The Office, playing video games, playing Graduation Instrumentals all the way turnt up and putting on my own Glow In the Dark show with my Rockband mic…you know. But I’ve had two issues, and they’re not deal-breakers, but damn, they warrant some venting. First, I hate these damn long ass centipede-looking bugs. They’re dumb as hell and the bigger ones are slow, so I’ve never seen one that I didn’t kill and then curse out. But still, no one likes bugs.
Second, and more importantly, loud noisy neighbors. When I first moved in, the poor lady above me was in a fairly abusive relationship with what had to be a violent repeat offender, or Ike Turner’s son, or maybe my cousin Chris…..wait for it….Good. I didn’t want to meddle. I just wanted peace and quiet to perform Can’t Tell Me Nothin’ without interruptions. NOOOOO I’m not that insensitive and I did care that she was getting her ass beat. I cared. I grew up watching Young and the Restless with my mom, so I’m sensitive. But bein’ a hero to fellow tenants is not part of my lease, and I would at least expect a 10% discount on my rent for that type of intrusion, and my landlord is an ass, so….
