This is what I'll be doing on my Christmas break...

Enough is Enough

How the hell did Lil' Wayne get 8 Grammy noms? How is that fucking face-tatted gremlin even relevant? What the fuck is he mumbling about? Lollipops?

Hip-hop is dead and Rap is Pop's mistress.

Classic Jose Mourinho puppetry

Jeff put me on to this. Fun mash-ups, re-edits and stream of conscious lyrics about everything from hot chocolate to weed to window washing etiquette.

Celebration of the Season

Slumdog Millionaire

Another one for your Holiday queue. M.I.A. on the soundtrack:

"Milk"

A must see. One of the best films I've seen all year. Sean Penn is Oscar-worthy. Brolin is intriguing. Franco can actually act (he's so pretty!). San Francisco is as much a character as any of the aforementioned. The scenes of the Castro (now and then) gave me chills and a sense of ownership. San Francisco is part of my world now and will forever be.

Milk's message transcends Gay rights. Like Obama, his was a message of hope. Hope for Gays, Blacks, Latinos, Asians, the disenfranchised everywhere. His sacrifice made all the difference. Thank you Harvey Milk.

Wildcat!

Attention all NFL Offensive coordinators: Do not run the "Wildcat" offense unless you are the Miami Dolphins.

The Dolphins started the trend this year now everyone is trying to stick their most skilled athlete in the shotgun and add some variation to their vanilla offense (sense Oakland Raiders).

It doesn't work if you add this series to your playbook in week 14. Desperate is the word which comes to mind amidst such feeble attempts to supplement crap offenses.

It's time to focus on the draft Oakland.

Shoes to the face!

I believe this reporter acts on behalf of all intelligent beings with his reaction to Bush's presence:

Essential Reading: "Downtown Owl" by Chuck Klosterman

There's something endearing about small town life. Even amidst the repetition, the complacency and the exoticising of what lies beyond city limits, there lies intrigue. In his first novel, Klosterman paints a great story built around the lives of three characters in fictional Owl, North Dakota.

It's 1983 and Owl is detached from life in urban America. High School football is king and conservatism (in all walks of life) is the way to go. We're stuck inside the heads of the central characters and their daily routines until one single event changes things forever.

Klosterman uses his sense of humor, "insight" into relationships and his own experience as a North Dakotan to craft a great story. He also reminds us why the slang term "boss" is so awesome.

Haterade

Obama is our next president. Get over it haters.

"Prop 8 The Muiscal"

It's great that we can make light of our foibles. I agree with the lot of this star-studded cast. Not only as a state (CA) but as a nation...as a universe we need to get past our phobias and move forward. People are people. No matter the color or sexuality everyone has a right to rights.

The bible thumping and fear mongering won't lead us to any sort of promised land--unless you consider intolerance, segregation, damnation and hatred the inevitable.

Hopefully one day we'll come to our collective senses and do the right thing. We elected Obama right? Maybe we'll eventually get this thing right.

Posterboy for Gun Control

After Plaxico shot himself in the leg this weekend and had to post $100,000 bail to get himself out of jail, I can only ask for the thousandth time:

Why are guns legal in the U.S.?

Note: Sweatpants don't serve as a steady holster for a glock 40.

Pure stupidity: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/02/sports/football/02burress.html?bl&ex=1228366800&en=999dc033151c2b6c&ei=5087%0A

WTF?

Truly a Black Friday. Sad and laughable.
