KAYNES MOM PASSED AWAY - Kanye West's mother, Dr. Donda West, has died. Multiple reports indicate that Dr. West's death may have been a result of complications from some sort of surgery.  And, I don't mean to make light of this, but was she a real doctor, or was that her rap name?  Sometimes in the black community they'll call you "Dr." if you rap or can make a really good bar-b-que sauce.  Rednecks do the same thing.  It's a small world.

CNN IS A DISGRACE - remember that Simpsons where Homer was on "Rock Bottom" and they kept editing his answer so it looked like he was saying something else, and the clock on the wall behind him kept jumping back and forth (go here, scroll down)  If you don't, watch this CNN clip.  It's pretty much the same thing.  Here, they interview WWE superstar John Cena, and decide his answer to "have you ever done steroids" wasn't sexy enough, so they twist it around and edit it to make his adamant "no" look like a vague "yes".  Later the CNN voice over asked if he ever poisoned our water supply, and Cena said, "yeah, yes, uh-huh, oh I know it's crazy".  OH MY GOD, HE CONFESSED, IT WAS HIM, GET HIM!!!

"LIONS FOR LAMBS" IS DOA - "American Gangster" was the big winner at the box office this weekend, and has now made a little over 80 million in two weeks.  "Fred Clause" was the biggest debut of the weekend, earning around 19 million, but the story was the debut of the Tom Cruise movie "Lions for Lambs", which made less than 7 million.  It's yet another movie Hollywood has churned out about the Iraq war ("Rendition", "In the Valley of Elah", "The Kingdom") that has failed to find an audience.  Um, because, yes, we get it Hollywood, you don't like the war.  You liked Clinton.  We know.  We get it.  Enough already.  Just go do a rail off some underage model then blow some shit up and cram chicks with big boobs into leather pants.  You filthy god damn hippies aren't here to think, just do something cool.
