Inspirational School Posters: Cheating
Hey gang! I was thinking about those posters that used to hang on the classroom walls in grade school. They were usually of athletes, or giant sweeping landscapes, and they always had quotes of wisdom or words of inspiration. So, I thought I might make some of my own, for all the kids out there in the "blogosphere"!
This is my first attempt. I hope it was successful.

Puerto Rico: the 51st state?
I saw this article under the banner "common sense" and had to say something about how ridiculous it is.
Room for One More?
By Neil Cavuto
I was in Puerto Rico (search) at a business conference this past weekend and off-hand, one of the attendees mentioned how Puerto Rico is at a crossroads.
It's got to decide: Either become a state of this country, or a self-sustaining republic. Nothing in-between, which is kind of what this commonwealth (search) enjoys now — all the benefits of statehood, without the taxes.
But I started thinking that might be a lot easier said than done. For one thing, there's the issue of the star.
Let's say Puerto Rico becomes our 51st state. Where do we put that 51st star on our flag? Go ahead, figure that out.
Then there's the other issue of representation in Washington. With four million-plus residents, by my math, Puerto Rico would not only have the two obligatory senators — there goes you're nice, round 100 — but at least eight representatives in Congress (search). It would leapfrog right past states like Delaware, Rhode Island, North Dakota, South Dakota, and several others.
I imagine they might not be too pleased.
And could you imagine how residents of the District of Columbia would feel? They're already out in our national body, save a non-voting member. How would they feel about this island nation just coming into the Capitol, wham-bam-thank-you-ma’m?
Which raises the issue of those 10 extra seats: Do we physically have them in Congress, or would we squeeze everybody in for one of those State of the Union addresses? I've been there —ain't too much room to spare there. It’s sort of like my family reunions. Someone's going to have to sit at the kids' table. But who?!
I began thinking Puerto Rico might very well want to become a state. And I think they'd make a great state. The Puerto Ricans I talked to sure thought so. I'm just not sure everyone here would feel the same way.
So Puerto Rico, keep debating the battle for statehood there. It's nothing compared to the battle you'll likely face ... here.
Neil Cavuto is a fuckin' intellectual dink. Some guy mentioned Puerto Rico is at a crossroads, huh? They want to be a state, huh? Bullshit!
Puerto Rico doesn't want to be the 51st state. Puerto Rico didn't want to be a commonwealth, either. The fat grubby US government annexed the island just like Hawaii. So, you actually have the nerve to say that we need to decide what we want to do when we never wanted to be a part of this shit in the first place?! Fuck you! Fuck all of you!
You grabbed us up for no good reason, and you can continue to treat us like a state without us paying taxes. That's our reward for being sucked into your fat-ass red, white, and blue machine.
So quit your bitching Neil, we don't want your 51st star. And go eat another donut, bitch!
P.S.
Fuck Delaware, too.

Freak on a leash
Korn guitarist finds God, leaves band
NEW YORK (Billboard) -- Korn guitarist Brian "Head" Welch has parted ways with the hard rock act, citing a recent religious awakening.
Welch broke the news Sunday on Bakersfield, California, station KRAB-FM.
"I had it in my heart to come here and explain to you," Welch said. "I'm good friends with Korn. I love those guys, and they love me, and they're very happy for me."
Addressing the aggressive tone of the music he made with Korn, Welch said, "Anger is a good thing, and if kids want to listen to Korn, good, but there's happiness after the anger. I'm going to show it through my actions how much I love my fans."
Welch added that he would be appearing at a local church on February 27, during which time he would "speak (about) how I got to this place in my life, and I'll answer all your questions."
On its official Web site (http://www.korn.com), Korn's remaining members said they respect Welch's wishes and hope "he finds the happiness he is searching for." The group is in the studio working on a new album, due in September, which will be its first since fulfilling its contract with Epic last year.
For now, no replacement for Welch has been named, nor has a new label home for the band.
A few years ago I would've made fun of Head for his decision, but I can't hate on someone for finding God. It just sucks that he's leaving Korn. I love God, but he sure ruins good music, man!
Hey God, stop that shit! We're trying to rock-out here!

Why are people jumping on Chris Rock?
I hate race issues (because they're boring, repetitive, and endless), but it seems like a simple race issue to me, in the case of all the alleged "Chris Rock Controversy". I even heard one news headline on TV, "Is Chris Rock Right For The Oscars?". Which, really sounds like,"Should A Black Man Being Hosting Our Show?".
I'll admit Chris Rock isn't Bill Cosby, but the Academy Awards knew that (the entire world knew that) before they chose him. So, if his comments bother them, they should just eat a dick because they asked for it.
I, personally, agree with Chris Rock on the "idiocy" of the awards in the last two decades. I don't attribute much power to an acting award that has been given to Julia Roberts, Renee Zellweiger, Russell Crowe, or Marissa Tomei.
I hope Chris Rock tells one of his jokes about "black people and niggas" in the first five minutes of the telecast. It will actually make for interesting television.
Chris Rock explains comments ... sort of
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Chris Rock wants to clarify what he meant when he said straight men don't watch the Oscars.
"I did not say that. I said only gay people watch the Tonys," he joked Monday during an appearance on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno."
But later he stuck to his guns.
"I really don't know any straight men who aren't in show business that have ever watched the Oscars," he said.
The Emmy-winning comedian has taken some heat for an Entertainment Weekly interview in which he called the notion of giving awards for art "idiotic" and added: "what straight black man sits there and watches the Oscars?"
But he offered Leno some toned-down criticism of Oscar hype.
"The awards don't really affect anybody's lives in the crowd," Rock said. "Meanwhile, the Nobel Peace Prize, there's no one there. Nobody cares what the scientists are wearing. What are you wearing Professor Allen? 'Pants!' "
Rock, asked if he was rooting for anyone to win, said he would favor Don Cheadle, who is up for best actor for his role in "Hotel Rwanda."
"I like it if the award will affect the person's life," Rock said. "If he wins, he's gonna get better scripts, he's gonna work with better directors."
And he had some advice for acceptance speeches.
"Don't thank God," Rock said. "God's busy working on the tsunami, so leave him alone."

Pope: will he rise to the ten count?
Pope John Paul II, who underwent a tracheotomy Thursday to relieve respiratory problems, is breathing on his own today without assistance from a ventilator, a papal spokesman said. The pope had a breakfast of coffee, yogurt and biscuits, Joaquin Navarro-Valls said.
Hmm... it seems to me the Pope is gonna die soon. I mean, he's already become a human potato over the past decade, and now they're poking holes in his decrepit spud.
Of course, I thought he was gonna die a few weeks earlier and he somehow was able to get more life sustaining energy out of his communion wafers.
I made a joke of his illness a while back, and I kind of just did again, but I wish the Pope well. But I don't see him making another recovery at this point. It will be interesting to get to see the process of choosing a new Pope(kind of like Haley's comet, not a common occurrence).
Soon the new Pope will be chosen. He'll be given the cool hat, the keys to the Pope-mobile, and he'll dash out the door to fight Satan in Adam West-fashion! It will definitely be different.

RowanX2: Making us proud during Black History Month
For those who don't know, Rowan is a person in AOL chat rooms who likes to race-bait, and start trouble for no good reason. Well, it turns out he's also an internet predator.
Rowan has been stalking this young lady for quite a while now since she rejected his advances. Which is kind of strange since she's white and southern(two things Rowan continually bashes). His hypocrisy is on full display when sexual intercourse is involved. How sad and weak.
I feel sorry for Rowan(He's like Mad Max traveling the wastelands after his loss and pain). I thought I might share his inspirational story with the world. About how he's gone from mild-mannered normalcy, to bug-eyed sweaty perv. It's so touching, you'll need a shower afterward.
Here are some E-mails from and about "Nicky" and here is a link to a collection of all his crazy e-mails and rants

I'm sorry for asking that question, it was spontaneous. It's just that my heart is aching because I never got a chance to see what me and you would be like together. I'm crazy about you. I don't think I got a fair shot at winning your heart is all. You said you never thought anything would become of us because of the way I go on about women, and that you never thought I'd truly be able to care about you. I thought me telling you how I felt in those emails, and cards, would've shown you that you've changed me, that I've changed, that I actually care about you. That for the first time in my life, I saw that I was wrong about my opinions of women.
