Pull your head out of your ass
Lukas Kaiser, the white Eazy E, just hit me off with this new Talib Kweli joint going at Hillary Clinton for not pulling out of the race already.
Idle Warship (Talib Kweli & Res) - Fall Back feat. Chester French
Sample lyric: "We all know you ain't gon' win. Time to throw the towel in. Pull your head out of your ass and fall back."
On the chorus is a fellow named Chester French, whom I'd never heard of until just now. I consulted his MySpace, and it looks like he might be trying to become the next Vampire Weekend. But he might want to consider a career as the 2008 version of the dude who used to sing on those Black Rob records.
And since we're on the topic, here's jimbrah izrael, at his latest pro blogging venture (honestly, I'm not enjoying any of these as much as his real blog - where's the stripper stories?), on why Hillary shouldn't pull out of the race just yet. His reasoning being that, if Obama wants to prove he's the real deal, he needs to prove he can actually win, rather than just having the race handed to him.
I'm gonna have to disagree though. The real test of Obama's mettle is gonna be when he has to face Karl Rove, et al., and whatever they've got in store for him. Personally, I believed Hillary when she said she had some extra nasty dirt on him, but she wasn't gonna put it out, because that just wouldn't have been right. And my guess is that John McCain's crew has got all of that plus some, just waiting for the general election.
For example, I don't know if there's any truth to this guy Larry Sinclair claiming he smoked crack and had relations with Barack Obama in the back of a limousine in 1999, but I see he's got an entire blog devoted to proving that he did. And it looks like he might be down with that guy Pastor James Manning, who did those videos talking about how Obama is a long-legged mack daddy.
That could definitely be an issue.
After the jump, since I'm not sure if I ever got around to posting it here, is the clip of Pastor Manning talking about Obama being a pimp.

Good to know I'm not the only one still making Joe Hooker jokes.

First, that pastor is hilarious. Watch the kids in the back trying not to laugh...
Second, I looked at that larry sinclair site, and the dude is clearly off his fucking rocker. Why even give him the time of day to mention him?

Correction, Byron... the dude's name is DA (the band's name is Chester French) and that Joe Hooker reference is like extra, extra special pitchfork 1.0 type shit. I love it. And yes, I'm the white Eazy E.

Not that I like Her Thighness The Yellow Pantsuit, or her geriatric husband, Bill, but I think Hill has still got a shot. She does too.
Something's going to happen to sink 'Bama's ship. Something not yet known.
Then it's Bill and Hill. I'd throw money on it.

Ugh!!
Having to choose between the Shrew or the Messiah, d.j.?
Having to select which Liberal turd smells least offensive?
Talk about a bullshit scenario.
Downward spiral?
