Colin Powell is Confused
General Colin Powell announced earlier his full endorsement for the Obama Biden campaign, remarking that the McCain campaign is "not what people are looking for."
Barack Obama, chain-smoker and cultural demi-god, thanked Powell for his support. Powell, however, seems a bit confused.
Barack Obama and Colin Powell share nothing in common. One is the most liberal member of the US Senate, the other is a retired US Army General, appointed to sit on the cabinet of President George W. Bush, and was a key advisor to the late President Ronald Reagan, perhaps the most conservative president of our time.
The average observer may make the assumption that Powell is supporting Obama based on race. How foolish.
Any self-respecting US citizen is well aware that Colin Powell, along with Condoleezza Rice, was drafted into full blown Caucasian status at the 2003 National Racial Draft. Therefore, Colin Powell and Barack Obama share absolutely nothing in common...
Except perhaps an insatiable thirst for power, as demonstrated by both Obama's actions on the campaign front, and Powell's shameless begging to be appointed into Obama's cabinet. Defeat for the Republicans may be assured, but this is no time to begin selling yourself to the opposition, Powell, one would assume you had some semblance of national pride and zealous integrity.
Guess not.

Mark Wahlberg is a bitch. Plain and simple.
Mark Wahlberg was on Jimmy Kimmel last night and had nothing nice to say about Andy Sandbergs' impression of him on SNL. Suffice it to say, Mark- or should I just refer to him as tough guy?- is a first class bitch and doesn't deserve the fame he's had for doing piss poor excuses for films.
Let me clarify, he's an awful, one-note actor that picks only tough guys roles in movies (because that's the only way he'll be respected as an original gangsta in a world full of hippies). It doesn't hurt that produces for HBO (Entourage) and never ever ever lets us forget about it. In short, boycott Mark Wahlberg.
Why? Because fuck him, that's why.

T-minus a few days till the riots start
At the start of Friday's session, losses for the year totaled a staggering $8.3 trillion, as measured by the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite Index.
A stream of selling forced exchanges in Austria, Russia and Indonesia to suspend trading, and those that remained opened were hammered. The rout in Australian markets caused traders there to call it "Black Friday."
Global stocks sank;
- Britain's FTSE-100 down 8.09 percent
- German's DAX down 9.4 percent
- France's CAC-40 down 9.7 percent.
- Japan's Nikkei 225 down 9.6 percent
In midmorning trading, the Dow fell 197.61, or 2.30 percent, to 8,381.58.

Intrepid Returns to NY
After two years of repairs, and a fresh coat of paint, the USS Intrepid is returning to Pier 86 in the Hudson River Park.
The 65 year old vessel was towed from Staten Island by a team of four tugboats, accompanied by a flotilla of police boats and sightseeing craft.
Accompanied by more than 200 former crewmembers, some of whom were much older than the ship itself.
The overhaul cost more than $100 million but most came from city grants.

Kimbo Slice KO'd under 14 Seconds
In one of the most anticipated fights on network television this year, Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson, was defeated by Seth Petruzelli in no less than 14 seconds lat night.
Played on CBS, this fight was to make or break Kimbos career as a martial arts fighter. Petruzelli was a last minute fill-in who had taken a year of of training to start a business. He weighed 30 pounds lighter than Kimbo (235). Petruzelli's record was 2-2 in his MMA career while Kimbo was 3-0. Only 12 punches were thrown and the demoralizing/crushing blow wasn't even a square shot. Catching him in the left eye, Petruzelli buffeted Kimbo as he lay on his knees in the corner. It was over before it started though. With CBS's hype and overplayed buildup of the rags to riches story, Kimbo The Cash Machine was expected to bring in viewers after this fight. Sadly this will not be the case.
As Mixed Martial Art's (subsidiary of UFC) newest show pony, Kimbo started out as a street fighter in Miami, working his way up the ranks and gaining respect with his brawny attitude and fierce right hook.
Now that his career is shot with MMA and UFC, we can only hope that he will return to the streets...
