HAHAHA....Wait, What?

Seriously what does the tagline even mean?

Bernie Mac introduced Barack Obama at a recent fundraiser where he made some jokes that the Obama supporters didn't like so they heckled him. News outlets are saying it's because he used foul language and offended people. I'm pretty sure that he just wasn't funny, the joke that got everyone up in a tizzy went something like this and I'm paraphrasing;

"My little nephew came up and asked me 'uncle what's the difference between a hypothetical question and realistic question? (a terrible question, Mr.Mac your nephew is retarded)' I said, I dunno but I'll tell you what you do, you go upstairs and ask your mama if she'd sleep with the mailman for $50,000 (obviously an inappropriate question for a child to ask his mother but since the child is retarded the mother shouldn't mind). My nephew came back and said his mother and sister both said they'd sleep with anyone for $50,000 so I says to the boy I says, well, hypothetically we should have $100,000 but realistically we're living with two hos! ha-cha-cha-cha-cha."

Hilarious. After being heckled and making a few joke type statements Bernie Mac called Barack on stage. Once on stage Obama said to not make bad jokes and punched Bernie Mac in the face before vowing to bed Mac's wife. He then said he'd give McCain the POW treatment and left to go host another rally at a club that Wilco was performing at.

None of the last part happened except the Wilco part. This is a non-story but it's been a slow week so I decided to pull a Templeton (Wire reference, if you don't know, go watch), I'm sorry.

Wait, Was That...I Think It Was!

I miss you guys....

The last time you read a title similar to the one above you were hunting down retina scarring videos of SRK's ass. Well, don't worry I'm not gonna do that to you, not today. Today I'm gonna shoutout some cameos of personalities I have great admiration for, who were on a show I had great admiration for; The Wire. The Wire, for you all who do not know, was the greatest show in the history of television (it's a fact and if you're gonna watch please don't watch that nonsense they put on BET go out and rent or buy seasons 1-5.) Sadly the show wrapped up amid pressure from HBO to end the series since no one was watching because they were all too busy being retarded. Due to these circumstances I have to live with being excited when I see actors who played, NAY! became characters on the show in other things (OMG Lieutenant Cedric Daniels is on Lost!!!!). This week I was fortunate enough to see two of the baddest men to ever walk the streets of Baltimore when I went to watch The Hulk (good movie, better than expected) and when I watched the video for Nasir "Nas" Jones's first song off his new album which I'm not sure if I can post the name of it here but it's the slur of choice for the KKK (kab karate karoge?). In the climactic battle in The Hulk I was blessed to be able to pick out Omar Little AKA "Dat C**k Sucka" from the crowd that was watching The Hulk fight The Abomination. I promptly exclaimed "HEY, OMAR!!!" in the theater and was shushed by the same douchebags that clapped throughout the movie (I'm anti-clapping, in favor of a tali-ban if you will). Then only a few days later I was able to catch Chris Paltrow of "Chris and Snoop" fame when I watched the music video for "Be a Rhymes With Tigger Too" (nsfw for lyrical content) from Nas's new album. The song is great if you aren't a peace loving hippie who is caught up in the controversy, get over it damnit. Although I am a little disappointed that he didn't shout out brown folks, are we not your "rhymes with tigger" too? Needless to say both Omar and Chris gave great nuanced performances in their combined 10 seconds of screen time. Also needless to say; New Jersey smells like a toilet.

UPDATE - Yes, an update even before I post, I watched this video again and recognized some more peoples. First of all, much apologies to other Wire fans for missing the Bubs cameo, it's nice to see Bubbles again. Also, it looks like Harold, from Harold and Kumar, as well as Ando from Heroes are Nas's "rhymes with tiggers" too. Good for them.
