Thursday, October 23rd, 2008
It ain’t where you’re from, it’s where you’re at…
One of the most important elections in United States history will take place this November 4, 2008. While only US citizens may vote in this election, much of the world is watching the race very closely. Faced with a growing financial crisis, climate change and global energy challenges, our future will be greatly defined by the next US president. For better or worse, we are all interconnected.
With this in mind, TheWorldFor.com, an interactive web site where people all over the world can cast a vote for the next United States President was created.
TheWorldFor.com was developed by a few concerned and hardworking Americans who made this project as a labor of love. They are not affiliated with any group, campaign, or government agency.
Thank you for your attention, your voice, and most importantly, your vote.
What’s In Your Package?
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008
The Federal government is bandying about the idea of issuing another “stimulus package” for Americans to spend in order to help the U.S. economy float like a turd in a terlet. Take it from me, fixing the economy is not about putting $600 dollars in my bank account.
With all of the out-of-network fees, the below minimum balance monthly maintenance fees, and the overdraft fees that I accrue it’s like I’m giving the money right back to the screwballs who effed the system the eff up in the first place.
I don’t mind the free money, but I also know that no one is giving away free money. Someone’s gonna have to pay for that shit at some point. With interest too no doubt. So what does the government do to stop the jobless rate upswing? Keep in mind that chattel slavery is not one of the selections.
We need to start building shit again. Building shit and making shit. The far east has pwned us for the last several decades because they build and make better shit than we do. Better cars. Better toys. Better snack foods.
TOHATO Caramel Corn = OMG!
America has to return to their manufacturing and developing dominance. Sure we can kick ass on the battlefield, but when was the last time that the Wise brand excited you for the premiere of a new Dipsy Doodle?
America has to get back to having the complete game on the global court. Coca-Cola needs to create a new logo and a new factory in every state where people make gourmet organic sody pops by hand. Their dirty, unwashed hands. Where the CO2 is actual people farts.
Listen, I don’t know a gotdamn thing about fixing the economy. Maybe it shouldn’t be fixed since it’s already “fixed”. Maybe people should be sent a check for $666 bucks and they can’t cash it unless they accept a laser etched bar code on their foreheads. What would you spend your last cash money on?
$666 isn’t a whole lot of money but it is a little something to get you through a weekend.
$50 – Two(2) round trip tickets to Trenton via NJ Transit
$32 – Two(2) round trip tickets from Trenton to Philadelphia 30th Street Station
$210 – Two nights in downtown Philly hotel with the Friends & Family code
$180 – Two(2) pairs of exclusive Nike Dunks (his & hers) from UBIQ
$130 – A classy dinner with the lady at a jazzy supper club
$2 – Philadelphia Museum of Art ‘Pay What You Wish‘ Sundays
$24 – Lunch at Geno’s Steaks
$28 – Two movie tickets and popcorn for when our train gets back to Penn Station on Sunday night
The G Dubbz administration and their “Mark Of The Beast” economic program just gave Chocolate Snowflake and I a very nice weekend in Philadelphia.
Do the math and see where the Illuminati’s armageddon takes you.
Is It Real Sonn, Is It Really Real?
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008
The brothers from The Real have been putting in hell’a work on these internets over the last year. When I first peeped their steez I wasn’t feeling them because they seemed to be disconnected to the subjects they were riffing on. Kind of like a comedic troupe of carpet baggers. As time has passed they have honed their craft with sharper writing and mostly making sure that every week we get a brand new video from them.
I see these dudes all around the city. They move like me, except there’s two of them. They were at the DeCon Media party and they also were in the Mark Ronson showcase. These dudes are definitly Internets Celebrities. That’s what someone called them. When Mark Ronson played the Georg Kranz classic dance hit ‘Din Daa Daa’ we all sung along. The twins told me they made a video to this song. I told them to send it to me so I could post it. The video is actually good.
I fucks with The Real now. They have a cool sense of humor. Plus, these niggas recognize that evolution begins and ends with hard work. So why not whistle while you work?

JOHN BYRNE’s FANTASTIC COVERS…
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008
The Fantastic Four is the comic book that JOHN BYRNE created the most covers for. Over seventy were done including several annuals and fanzines.
The Fantastic Four is Marvel Comics oldest title. This is the book from which so many other characters of heroes, villains, extra-terrestrials and supernaturals arose. The F.F. is Marvel’s G.O.A.T. book and when JOHN BYRNE was given the full reins for the title he created something special and, well, fantastic.
As usual, JOHN BYRNE channels some of the great artists that preceded him in order to craft his cover images. In keeping with the books title the cover art would often break through the fourth dimension. Not so much in an M.C. ESCHER type way, but in the sense that these characters communicated freely with the writers, artists and the readers.
The Fantastic Four could be a trippy book at times under BYRNE’s helm. He never lost control either but the spinning carnival ride did get so crazy that even Ben Grimm had to take a timeout. The Thing was replaced for a time with She-Hulk.
Crazy? Yes.
Fantastic? Mos def.
