Whats new in the world

Jan, 28, 2010

SO, President Barack Obama Delivered his First State of the Union address today. The speech was about 70 minutes long. Apparently he was being criticized for this. I thought I saw Clarence Thomas dozing off there for a minute. No, wait he's on the Supreme Court. My bad. The president touched on topics like, Health Care, the economy, the economy and health care. He also spoke about........Health care and the economy. As the countries economy plummets into A great Depression and Health Care is being abused left and right, to his critics I have one thing to say. Be happy he didn't Catch the Holy Ghost. Now, you all may think this is a racist joke, but I contend that it IS NOT. Its a Pentecostal joke. LOL I'm actually pro Obama. I don't particular care for his name...But whats in a name? Just cause his last name rhymes with Osama, (the Taliban Leader) and his middle name is Hussein, (The Late Iraqi Dictator) doesn't make him a bad man. Give the guy a break, so what if he has purple lips he's still cool in my book. Then again after Bush being president Gary Coleman could do a better job.

As you may or may not know J.D. Salinger has died today. He's the guy who wrote the timeless classic Catcher in the Rye. He was 91. Apparently he died of natural causes. First, I give my condolences to Mr. Salinger's family, friends and fans. I had to read Catcher in the Rye in H.S. Let me re-phrase that, I tried to read Catcher in the Rye in H.S. Honestly, I thought the name of the book was Cather AND the Rye. My bad J.D. I do know that it had something to do with this girl who falls in love with a vampire who then leaves her becuz he doesn't want to hurt her (typical) only to flirt with this American Indian kid (with a six pack and new hair cut) who turns into what looks like an Alaskan Mali mu...oh my bad that's New Moon. Again, my bad J.D. From a statement released by his literary agent J.D. had broken his hip earlier this year...(Uh, how much earlier could it have been, we're only 28 days into 2010) recovered, then died later of natural causes. Question: How many 91 year olds actually recover from a hip injury? Unless, your wolverine, with an animatium skeleton it was lights out for J.D. the moment he tumbled off his supped up Jazzy. RIP Brother.

On a lighter note, The AP Grammy nominations are in... The contestants are............for lack of a drum roll I use dots..............Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift. Beyonce is being nominated for best song "Halo" Never heard it. Taylor Swift for Best new artist and best song, "You belong to Me" Never heard it. And Lady Gaga for best song, "Poker Face" Never heard it. You may be asking yourself, "Where the hell have you been Matt, hiding under a rock somewhere?" To this I reply, "Yea" I've been listening to stupid artist like Frank Sinatra, Etta James and The Beatles. They didn't win Grammies, did they? Ol Blue Eyes and Etta must be rolling over in their graves. I guess, In a world where Lil Wayne aka Weazy aka Wayne aka Birdman Jr. can win two Grammies, what do you expect? Let me stop, I actually love Lil Wayne. Young Money rules! The Grammies can be rather boring so in the off chance Taylor Swift wins I hope Kanye West runs on stage, steals her Grammy, gives it to Beyonce and says. "You know you deserve this Ma" At which point Jay-Z will punch him in the grill and say, "Why you hittin on my woman son!"

Later.
