Conservative pundit Bob Novak, suspended indefinitely by CNN for using a profanity on the air, received some harsh criticism from another quarter today as the rapper 50 Cent said he was “offended” by Mr. Novak’s language.
At a press conference in Washington today, the platinum-selling rap artist expressed outrage at Mr. Novak’s televised outburst, saying that it represented “a troubling lowering of the standards of discourse” and a “coarsening of the culture in general.”
“I was sitting down to watch CNN with my children, as I always do,” Mr. Cent told reporters, “and when I heard Bob Novak’s remark, well, all I can say is that I was deeply, deeply offended.”
Mr. Cent was not the only member of the rap community to be outraged by Mr. Novak’s use of profanity, as thousands of rappers took to the streets of the nation’s capital today to express their anger at the foul-mouthed pundit.
The protest, led by rappers Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z and Eminem, was orchestrated to put pressure on Congress to place warning labels on pundits such as Mr. Novak to alert parents that he may blurt out an explicit remark at any moment.
As for Mr. Cent, he said that even if CNN ultimately reinstates Mr. Novak, he has no intention of watching the potty-mouthed talking head again: “From now on, the only person I feel totally safe watching is Lou Dobbs.”

Christopher Walken is Running for President
He’s not satisfied with starting at the local or state level of politics. No, he has his sights on something much higher. It seems Christopher Walken has thrown his hat into the presidential ring. Find out more about his campaign.
EDIT: Turns out this may be a hoax. No official announcement has been made, but here is an interesting link about it being a hoax. technologist
Temp Theme
This is a temp them while I have a really nice looking theme developed. I can’t wait to see it finished. When will it be up? I have no clue, but keep checking. I think it will look great.

An Online Novella Featuring WordPress
I recently came up with a good idea for a short story/novella that I think would be really cool to work on and have it out there for people to read. It will be a lot of work, but should be really interesting. I’m going to need some collaborators to work on this project. I’m reluctant to give too much information now, but it involves creating a WordPress site (that will feature fictional information about politics and the government, presented as real for the story). I’m looking for some designers and writers who would want to contribute. Contact me for more details about the project. I’m sure you’ll find it interesting.
A Funny Statistic
Why is this funny? Well, it seems to me that 90% (yes, i’m exaggerating this number, but it must be more than 6%) of Americans have blogs now (many having multiple blogs), so 6% reading means that either:
