Miley For President (Of Croatia or North Korea)

Invasion of teen privacy alert! Invasionof teen privacy alert! Embattled teen pop sensation Miley Cyrus has turned her back on controversy to appear in an innocent new Got Milk ad. The 15 year old Hannah Montana star hit the headlines at the beginning of May after posing provocatively for a photo shoot for a Vanity Fair magazine shoot and the photos were leaked online. Topless and wrapped in a satin sheet, Cyrus became a target of family groups who felt she was too young to make such a sexy statement. But her latest photo, for America's Body By Milk ad campaign, is anything but controversial. The wholesome star sports a milk moustache while posing in her dressing room, wearing jeans, cowboy boots and a white vest. Who really knows if she's 15 anyway? She could be Puerto Rican, scientologist, baby seal clubbing, DUI machine, communist and an NRA member. Does any of that go against family groups?

Ye Olde Yahoo Blues

Microsoft Corp. is once again trying to team up with Yahoo Inc. to challenge Internet search and advertising leader Google Inc., although at this point the renewed talks haven't escalated to another attempt to take over Yahoo. There of course can be no assurance that any transaction will result from these discussions," the statement said.
Yahoo had no immediate comment Sunday. Microsoft emphasized that it hasn't resurrected a $47.5 billion takeover bid that its chief executive, Steve Ballmer, withdrew May 3 after Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang, acting on behalf of Yahoo's board demanded an additional $5.5 billion, but Microsoft left open the possibility that it might dangle another buyout offer of Yahoo, depending on how the discussions progress between the two companies and their respective shareholders. The shareholders say yes, but Yahoo economic strategists say no.
Is it right for Microsoft to bully other companies into their web of economic takeover? No, but who will stop them? Ronald Mcdonald? Maybe, just maybe.

A China Bloodbath

A fresh tremor in southwestern China killed three people on Sunday, injured 1,000 others and sent thousands of people already traumatised by last week's massive earthquake fleeing their homes into the streets. The tremor, the strongest aftershock since the May 12 earthquake, hit Jiangyou city in Sichuan, Xinhua state news agency said, on the eve of three days of national mourning for the dead that now stands officially at 32,500. More than six days after the main quake of 7.9 magnitude rattled Sichuan province, authorities are worried by the aftershocks and the build up of water in blocked rivers and have tried to stop people from entering the affected area. China says it expects the final death toll to exceed 50,000. About 4.8 million people have lost their homes. Should China not close the city? Why would a country want to endanger their citizens? Isn't the illegal occupation of Tibet enough for this Imperialistic government of wanna be "big business" men?

Album Sales Suck???? Who's To Blame??????????????????

Cd sales are down big time. Does anyone care? The artists care and they want their money. They're losing money and they're not happy about only having one gold encrusted swimming pool instead of two. The reason for no CD money? Album sales are no longer the yardstick that bands uses. While hip-hop and pop artists ranging from Jay-Z to Britney Spears have long used recordings to sell every thing from perfume to liquor, rockers are only just starting to think of album sales as a component rather than the sum of the commercial equation. Spoon have been actively licensing their music for use in films, television shows and a Jaguar commercial, making money, gaining exposure and moving up from clubs to 3,000 seat venues.
Album sales are down 25 percent since 2000, leading to widespread predictions of the record business' demise. But smart artists and managers are finding new ways to reach fans and make money. "For some bands we represent, there's more licensing income than record sales," says Carol Sue Baker, whose Ocean Park Music Group has been connecting independent artists with music supervisors for movies, TV and advertising agencies since the early 1990s.
Is there a solution or is the entity known as a CD dead as freedom fries? Artists complaining won't help, so maybe they should just play live and enjoy the ticket sales

Foxy Boxing in New London Town With Blokes

It's a story heard time and again. Bitched out diva gets in brawl and gets out on probation. Here's the story in hard news. On Friday night, troubled pop star Amy Winehouse was cautioned by the British police after confessing to allegations of assault. The hitmaker, 24, is reported to have head-butted a man outside a pub in Camden, north London in the early hours of Wednesday, after a boozy night out. Winehouse was arrested on suspicion of assault on Friday when she voluntarily turned herself in to authorities at London's Holborn Police Station to be quizzed about the incident.
She was held in custody overnight after a doctor ruled she was "in no fit state" to be questioned. But, after explaining her actions to police on Saturday morning, she was released without charge. In a statement, the star's spokesman says, "Amy Winehouse was questioned this morning at a London police station in connection to an incident in Camden in the early hours of April 23, 2008. She admitted to a common assault by slapping a man with an open hand and accepted a caution. Amy was fully co-operative with inquiries and apologized for the incident. She thanked the police for their professional handling of the matter. There will be no further action taken. Amy is looking forward to continuing her work on new music in the studio." The caution means that although Winehouse escaped any formal prosecution, the incident will remain on record and could count against her if she faces any similar allegations in the future.
This could look like bad P.R. (NO P.R. IS BAD P.R. RIGHT?), but its likely to be good advertising as a cold hard bitch who'll knock the french toast out of you if you step on her moccasins. Chances are this little incident will help her new album top the charts. Her record company couldn't be prouder of the good rhetoric she displayed and the money they'll be tossing in their bath tubs filled with golden licorice.

Part Deuce: The Argument Continues A.K.A. Electric Boogaloo

In any band there is drama. Arguments, fights, whatever, it’s all Rock and Roll. Sometimes these quarrels turn deadly and the venomous scabs left by the bite are untreatable. This is when each band member gives a rhetorical response (a press release) to a media oulet and all hell breaks loose in the form of smack talk. In the case of the Hard Rock band Velvet Revolver, all the lip smacking rhetoric came out of left field and has sent this band not just out of the park, but into a black hole.
For months now internet blogs and music journals have been speculating about the end of the band. Is this the end of Velvet Revolver? Is STP (the lead singers former band) back in business? Are Guns and Roses (the rhythm sections former band) kickin out the jams once again. Lead pipes Weiland said, “I’ve made many attempts to remain cordial with the members of VR, but mainly, the likes of you. Funny though — this is your FIRST band, as opposed to being a hired gun. I’ve been making records (now on my ninth), which have sold over 35 million copies worldwide and have maintained a level of professionalism regardless of how many drugs I’ve ingested into my system.”
Weiland made the rhetorical response to drummer Matt Sorum's claim in his blog about how unprofessional the singer is and why this the last tour for the soon to be defunct band. His rhetorical response, “I have only canceled one tour during the entire course of my sixteen-year run and that was the ‘make-up’ Australia tour." This in house bickering is one of the many reasons why the supergroup is imploding into their older music that we all know and love. We have rhetoric to thank for this imploding.
Stone temple Pilots will soon be opening the Austin City Limits Festival and the new Guns and Roses might have a new album sometime this millennium (just maybe). Is it possible that if the members of Velvet Revolver used good rhetoric that they could have saved the band and put out more than 2 albums. I think so.
Is Velvet Revolver finished? Slash thinks so. He went on to say about Weiland, ““I thought He could be a little bit more imaginative. I’m not sure if that was meant to be a pot shot or what. Whatever, it’s not worth any real drama.” In my opinion they should just stop arguning and make some grooves. As A. Richards said about rhetoric, “Rhetoric is the understanding of misunderstandings and their remedies.”Maybe the boys should have listened to A. Richards advice before saying sianara to Velvet Revolver.

In my opinion they should just stop bitching and make some sweet love makin grooves.

Dude, Where's My Country?

So McCain clinched the Republican nomination. Well about time!!!!!!! He only won about every state hands down. Huckabee my butt. It is time for the Democrats to unite behind one candidate. The dissention among the Democrats will only help McCain get elected. The Democrats are going to lose the voters who have not decided on a party and will not make up the ground they didn't get with Gore or Kerry. The voters will choose the safe candidate in McCain. He is by no means the safe candidate. McCain will show his teeth if voted into office (AMERICA FUCK YEAH). The Republicans chose McCain because he is the most like Premier Bush and will show his lust for war by attacking Iran the moment he is in office. Obama or Clinton? Does it really matter? Yes, it does, but the Republicans are gaining votes by all of them lobbying for one candidate. The Democrats must choose a candidate or lose the vote of the American people.

Covered In Punks Blood

The Rodham Clinton-Obama Debate is heating up. The smack talk has turned serious as the rhetoric gets serious and the persuasion gets deadly. Clinton started the latest argument by saying that Obama, "would need a beginners' guide to the world's hot-spots if elected president." If that aint smack talk then I don't know what is. Apparently Obama's campaign accused the Clinton election committee of "shameful, offensive fear-mongering." This was a response to a Clinton aide sending a picture of Obama in Middle Eastern attire to a gossip magazine. Oh my, verbal slander from would be presidents? It is like getting pay per view boxing for free. This boxing is not with brutal jabs, but with verbal acid nuclear spit. The boxing ring is the United States of America. Just like Thunder Dome two men/women enter only one leaves to become controlled by U.S big business.

Allrighty then, this is the first blog post from the greatest blog in the world. I will be talking about all of this political Hooha going on in the news. The Hooha that I speak of is the incorrectness of being politically correct.
Their verbal on no pance party goes a little something like this- Barack Obama is a strong candidate, but does he have the experience? Hilary is a cold biotch? Huckabee is a trite conondrum? McCain is an Superman villain? He is made of kryptonite? This could all be true or could it be fooba. It is damn sure entertaining for little children.
They should make em' into cartoon charcters and have them scare the kiddies with their political bitterness into picking up something called a book? If I were to write a book right now it would be about why Flea of The Red Hot Chili Peppers should be president. There are many reasons why this should happen- 1. Flea kicks ass. 2. Flea is awesome. 3. Flea is laidback as hell. 4. The only bombs that Flea drops is funk bombs. 5. He's a family man. 6. He enjoys the finer arts. 7. He's an international ambassador to every country with his wang antics. 8. The ladies enjoy the crazy outfits. 9. He rocks out naked. 10. He has many tattoos. 11. He doesn't spew verbal diarea 12. Jimi Hendrix is one of his main influences. 13. Cuz Flea don't wear no monkey suits only birthday suits. Those are only a few of the qualities that make a formidable political candidate. So when you vote for the big cheese in January, make sure you make the right choice for write in candidate.
