“oh, you don’t take the Afro-American card? that’s fine i’ll pay cash then…you got change for a billion?”
- Cam’Ron in “Ching Ching” ft Hell Rell

Well, if Cam was in Zimbabwe it would make sense. Today Zimbabwe issued it’s new $100 Billion note. Yes that’s a one-hundred billion dollar bill. Crazy! Does anyone know the exchange rate? I’m too lazy to look it up now. It must be horrific though lol.

Zimbabwe started issuing large banknotes in December, starting with denominations of $250,000.

In January, the government issued bills in denominations of $1 million, $5 million, and $10 million — and in May, it issued bills from $25 million and $50 million up to $25 billion and $50 billion.

The new bills are actually bearer checks and have an expiration date of December 31. Zimbabwe has not had formal currency since the introduction of bearer checks as a temporary measure in 2003.

Once again. Do not post pictures on facebook that you wouldn’t want blasted on the nightly news for the world to see. It’s becoming more and more of a problem for young adults nowadays.

PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island (AP) — Two weeks after Joshua Lipton was charged in a drunken driving crash that seriously injured a woman, the 20-year-old college junior attended a Halloween party dressed as a prisoner. Pictures from the party showed him in a black-and-white striped shirt and an orange jumpsuit labeled “Jail Bird.”

In the age of the Internet, it might not be hard to guess what happened to those pictures: Someone posted them on the social networking site Facebook. And that offered remarkable evidence for Jay Sullivan, the prosecutor handling Lipton’s drunken-driving case.

Sullivan used the pictures to paint Lipton as an unrepentant partier who lived it up while his victim recovered in the hospital. A judge agreed, calling the pictures depraved when sentencing Lipton to two years in prison.

last weekend…? All of them in California and not campaigning.

Well, if you read my post about The Bohemian Grove then it makes sense. The two week retreat is supposed to be going on right now, from July 11 - 27.

Interesting.

I’ll be looking to see if any top politicians make any appearances this week. I don’t think I saw too many this past week. The news was flooded with international news and the perils of our economy.

I Google’d it due to curiosity and found this guy (slightly odd fellow) who is devoting his time to tracking the retreat. There was also this article. Then, according to the campaign tracker…neither candidate has any campaigning to do this weekend (19-20 or next weekend 26-27).

No man truly wants a girl who’s just like one of his boys. No matter how much he tells her he does and he raps/sings/writes about it…it’s just not true.

Men want someone who can hang, yes. Someone who won’t be grossed out by a convo about the NBA Finals or the Superbowl, yes. But we also need balance.

A man needs a girl who will come over and smell good, maybe fix up the room a bit while he showers (cause he finished working out and has been sitting in his sweat up until about 30 sec before she walked in), etc etc. A she who’s like a he won’t really ADD anything to his life other than the occasional intercourse; and if she truly does act like one of his boys then he’ll prob pass on the intercourse most nights.

A girl must also NOT throw herself at a guy if she plans to be his wifey. Yea yea…guys say this and that…but when it comes down to it..he will not WIFE a girl who throws herself at him. They may date and play for years even..but she won’t be his main or his only girl.

Guys expect to be the ones chasing the girl. The chase makes the prize so much better. I’m not saying sit on your pedestal and kick his chin every time he gives you a compliment, but let him holla a bit. It’s good for him, and you. Haven’t you ever seen on Animal Planet how a cheetah won’t chase a gazelle that is not running? or haven’t you experienced a situation where a girl really wants a guy and he likes(-ed) her until she completely throws herself at him? It’s all the same thing.

Balance is key.

Men should be men, women should be women. That’s how things will work best. Afterall, a woman doesn’t want a man who wants to go get a mani/pedi more than she does. Nor does a man want a woman who is more hyped for his bestfriend’s superbowl party than he is.

Know your roll. Love Like freely.

Diddy raises the alert level to ORANGE!

in other Diddy news…he would like to remove himself from consideration for vice president…

Brothers Gregg and Evan Spiridellis founded JibJab in 1999 with a few thousand dollars worth of computer equipment, a dial-up Internet connection and a dream of building a global entertainment brand. In 2004, their election parody “This Land” spark an international sensation and was viewed more than 80 million times online. NASA even contacted the brothers to send a copy to the International Space Station! Since then, JibJab has premiered ten original productions on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and received coverage on every major news outlet. In 2004, Peter Jennings named the brothers “People of the Year.”

This is their latest installment:

There has been a huge uproar about the upcoming cover of The New Yorker. The picture, shown below, portrays a Panther-esque Michelle Obama fist pumping an Arab Barack Obama. I personally think that it is expected of the media to stir up controversy surrounding presidential candidates. Like some have said, this picture really isn’t that bad…it just highlights how ridiculous the rumors have been about the Obama man & wife.

The New Yorker is going to sell many many copies of this particular edition. I’m not sure how their company is doing but this should give them a major boost in quarterly revenue.

Over the past couple years, countless foreign corporations have invested in (bought) US currency, debt, and business…slowly gaining a substantial influence over our economy. In 2006, approximately half of this country’s debt was held outside the United States, primarily by China, Japan and Southeast Asian nations. I don’t have current numbers, but I’m sure the % has only gotten greater.

In recent news, not only was a $40 billion Air Force contract given to a foreign corporation (currently under Congressional review)…but Anheuser-Busch, maker of all our favorite Buds, was sold to a Belgian brewer for $52 billion.

I understand that these companies have the money to blow, but where do you begin to argue on the side of sovereignty!? It only makes sense that if everyone else owns our currency, debt, and businesses…then everyone else owns our ECONOMY…our $4+ gas, credit crunch/crisis, mortgage crisis economy!

Good thing we’re the most popular nation in the world. Noone would dare cripple our economy. Definitely not China.

Women are like politicians. Queens of rhetoric. Defenders of technicalities and exceptions (which they always are THE EXCEPTION). Guardians of platonic relationships. And I could go on and on…

but on this Saturday afternoon…i’ll leave you with a few random video clips!
