Hypocrite
This is really some f*cked up sh*t. These holier-than-thou, walk-on-water Republicans can find a way to justify anything to fit their agendas. I guess it's ok since it's Cheney's daughter...

Mele Mel Pursues WWE Career
Although he is revered in Hip-Hop circles, Mele Mel is planning to make an impact of a different kind in the world of professional wrestling.
The rapper, who was recently inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, will attempt to become the latest champion in Vince McMahon's World Wrestling Entertainment.
"I'm going to try and get some of John Cena's money [current WWE champ] and get with the WWE to do my thing," Mele Mel told AllHipHop.com "I went to the wrestling school over the summer and picked up a little bit of moves. I wanted to see if it was something that I wanted to do, other than just dreaming of wanting to be a wrestler. It's a little rough, but it's something that can be done."....source: AllHipHop.com
This is one of the dumbest decisions I have heard in a while. This man is considered a legend in hiphop and now he wants to destroy his image by getting into a wrestling ring with guys half his age and a ton more skill. I'm not sure why he would think that the WWE would be interested in him. I guess we'll have to see if I have to eat my words.
Over at magsdirect.com, I was looking for The Source magazine. Apparently they sent a cease and desist letter to Hip Hop Weekly which is another publication the can be subscribed to a magsdirect.com. The Source is accusing Hip Hop Weekly of trademark infringement.
Two former owners of The Source now work on Hip Hop Weekly and they state this on the front of their publication. Stay tuned for more drama. You can also subscribe to them at magsdirect.com.

President Bush. President Clinton. President Bush. President Clinton
Hillary Clinton finally declares 2008 US election bid.
By Geoff Elliott
The 20-year unbroken run of two presidential dynasties could be about to get longer following yesterday's long-awaited announcement that senator Hillary Clinton - wife of former president Bill Clinton - is running for the White House.
"I'm in," she declared in a video posted on her website, using the internet to declare her candidacy, as did her chief rival, Barack Obama, just a few days before.
According to the polls, Senator Clinton is the Democrats' front-running candidate for the 2008 presidential race. Much of the attention is focused on the fact that Senator Clinton would be the first woman president and that Senator Obama would be the first black president.
But there's also the fact that if Senator Clinton wins in 2008, the White House will be in just two families' hands for nearly a quarter of a century... You can read the rest of the article here.

The Real Story Behind 'Alpha Dog'
WEST HILLS, CALIF. - In Los Angeles, it’s a story that caused bewilderment disbelief and has now inspired a new movie, “Alpha Dog.” It has provocative new roles for some of Hollywood’s biggest stars like Justin Timberlake and Sharon Stone. In fact, it’s a story set not far from Hollywood itself.
In the West Hills section, there are million dollar homes. But amidst the swimming pools and tidy lawns of this well-kept neighborhood, a devoted mother got the worst possible news. Like the stream of expensive cars cruising down the Boulevard, a dark undercurrent had been flowing beneath West Hills’ glossy views. A group of seemingly nice kids had become caught up in a lifestyle where life itself was cheap. An entire city was shocked when these same kids stood accused of an unspeakable crime...But the accused ring leader got away for six years. But Susan Markowitz never gave up on bringing him to justice.Her quest for justice began in West Hills. But eventually, authorities came to the hills of Brazil, half a world away. There are latest twists and turns in this story of a fugitive’s odyssey—including the birth of a child, and the release of a controversial new film based on the case. The fugitive himself even sounds like he was created by a screenwriter: His name is “Jesse James Hollywood.” ...You can read the rest of the story here. source: msnbc.msn.com
Criminal Probe Launched Into Water-Poisoning
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - As participants in KDND-FM’s water-drinking contest chugged bottle after bottle, a listener called in to warn the disc jockeys that the stunt was dangerous — and could be fatal. “Yeah, we’re aware of that,” one of them responded.
Another DJ said with a laugh: “Yeah, they signed releases, so we’re not responsible. We’re OK.” Those comments, and others made during the Jan. 12 “Morning Rave” radio show, appeared to give little regard to the risk of water intoxication — until a woman died just hours after imbibing nearly two gallons in the contest.
On Wednesday, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department launched a criminal investigation into the incident, and attorneys for the family of Jennifer Lea Strange said they plan to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the radio station.
The county coroner said preliminary autopsy findings indicate Strange, a 28-year-old mother of three, died of water intoxication.....You can read the rest of the story here. source: msnbc.msn.com
