Michael Jackson Dies at Age 50

The King of Pop has died today. It's unreal. He's Michael, a legend, indestructable, invincible. It seems he went into cardiac arrest, taken to the hospital where he went into a coma until he was pronounced dead. May he rest in peace and may his family, especially his 3 children, Prince, Paris, and Blanket.

Motivation

Got to get on my grind:

That swagger....













Don't hurt me Michelle!!!

There were some rumblings about Barack being Versace's muse for her Spring/Summer 2009 collection but that is not the case. According to Fashion Week Daily, the collection was inspired by the "modern man with a laid back relaxed look/attitude. Not Obama himself".

Tim Russert

Since hearing the news on Friday of Meet the Press moderator and Washington Bureau Chief Tim Russert's passing, I've been at a loss on what to say.

With having said that, I will let those who can better articulate what Tim meant to not only the world of politics but to every life he touched:

Tom Brokow announcing the news on MSNBC:



His son Luke gave such a beautiful interview to Matt Lauer:

Meet the Press' tribute to Tim was sad and funny at the same time. The commentators celebrated, rather than mourned Timmy:

Wonketter's video tribute (love the pics):

It's weird for Tim to be called home now, especially considering how historical and unprecedented this year's election is turning out. Tim wasn't just a commentator or a reporter, he was a truth seeker. Who else is going to make these politicians sweat or have members of the press cramming like finals week before an appearance on Meet the Press? Tim didn't just report on politics. He is/was politics.

Rest in Peace Timmy.

YES WE CAN!!!

It's official: Barack Obama is the presumptive democratic presidential nominee.

Hilary Clinton, per her speech 15 seconds ago, is not making a decision tonight. I think it's pretty obvious the decision has been made for her.

UPDATE: A photo finally made its way online of the dap between Barack & Michelle right before he gave his speech as the official presumptive democrative nominee. Those two look so in love. It' s a beautiful thing.

Why is Pat Buchanan Still on TV? Why?

I just knew it was only a matter of time before this senile racist failed politician took his buffoonery to television. Below is a clip of his appearance on the Chris Matthews Show on MSNBC. Right now I won't comment on Chris and his prior not so veiled sexist comments. I will let Buchanan's bigotry be the focus of this post.



For anyone who thinks this appearance was misunderstood or his words were clipped together to appear racist, let me lead you down the clear path by linking to his disgusting essay, 'A Brief for Whitey'. Make no mistake folks,Pat Buchanan is a racist and in all likelihood, a segregationist.

It's a shame that in times like these when a Black man and a White woman who are each fully qualified to run for President, we still have people like this invited (by a liberal leaning newschannel) to provide guest commentary. Who authorized this? Is this MSNBC's way of copying Fox's scheme to appear unbiased? If that's the case then it's NOT working. It is insulting to your viewers. It puts the brakes on an ideological machine trying to move forward.

They need to let this old fool retire in peace before they lose not only viewers, but their credibility. Both of which are now shaky anyway.

P.S. As long as this nut job doesn't appear on Countdown, then none of this applies to Keith Olbermann. I still love him.
