POLITRICKS 2008: Party Like A Rockstar…

TOTALLY DUDE!

BARACK OBAAMA is like a rockstar politician. His demeanor is so drastically different from most politicians. OBAAMA is so smooth and affable he makes BILL CLINTON look uptight and insincere. With all that charisma I still have no idea what a presidency from this man seeks to achieve.

The first non-100% white person to hold the office?

Seriously, who the fuck cares?

Can OBAAMA bridge the gaps that separate people socially, economically and spiritually?

Happy new year Jonathan!

I need for all my friends to really get with this program on Saturday June 7th. Rooftop Films and New Design High School present a day-long music and graffiti art festival at Open Road Rooftop, a beautiful urban space overlooking the Lower East Side that is decorated with magnificent graffiti murals.

Due to city and state-wide budget cuts announced early February, New Design is being forced to raise money or they will have to discontinue numerous Arts Integration Programs, which include after school and summer initiatives, programs that enable them to keep their students in a creative learning environment. To help support one of our partner schools, Rooftop Films is helping to organize a spectacularly festive event in this stunning rooftop space.

Featuring FAB 5 FREDDY, ASE, KHALIL ALMUSTAFA, JULIA GROB, ANDREW THOMPSON, NDHS STUDENTS

Music by SCIENTIFIC, CATO, MELO-X, CHELA, GASLAMP KILLER, RABBI DARKSIDE, NDHS STUDENTS

Africa. Still Fucked The Fuck Up…

Damn you Africa.

Every time I look at you there is some next shit you are having problems with. If the nations that exploit your mineral resources knew you were going to be this problematic they would have exterminated you just like the native americans or the aboriginals peoples.

Africa simply refuses to get her shit together. If they aren’t recruiting children to be soldiers they are forcing them into child labor. Some kids have been doing construction work since the age of 4!?!

Ugandan children work on dangerous rock pile

I can’t wrap my head around how a nation has hundreds of thousands of people that are unaccounted for, literally invisible. The civil wars that have raged through Africa have reduced countries to adult-free populations of children rife for exploitation.

Think of ‘Lord Of The Flies’ except those are real flies sitting on some kids face.

Now that you have helped him wrap up the Democratic Party’s nomination, all you folks that have been contributing your free time and hard-earned dollars to the OBAAMA campaign need to send homeboy an e-mail telling him to leave ol’ girl off the ticket.

I mean didn’t this spoilsport just try to get sonn merc’ked?!?
