50 Cent Learns About Racism, Loses Interest

Probably black folks. Pennsylvania has the highest number of hate groups in the country. Not highest population, b/c it's a small state, but the most groups, because even PA haters can't get along and consolidate.

I'm partly glad that Grills is coming out and telling the truth about the situation. But I'm a little turned off that she seems to be deflecting everything toward Drew.

Both of them are horrible people. Grills isn't less horrible.

Well, actually... Grills is SORRY. So that makes her less horrible than Drew.

I think what 50 is expressing is campaign/election fatique. Obama and Hillary have been running for nearly two years now, and it's leading to significant apathy on many people's parts.

Just watched the Ashley Grills interview. I have no sympathy for her. But I do have my thinspiration for the week. Yeah I'll make a fat joke if I want to. These people deserve it for what they did to Megan.

Despite his stunning lack of insight and inability to construct one coherent sentence with one substantive comment, $.50 has the gall to say "you need me" to voice the opinions of those too hesitant to speak?

Thanks $.50. I'll call you when I need an eight ball or a $20.00 hooker. Till then, read a newspaper. You might learn something.

Although I truly appreciate the 50 cent endorsement, I'm just not going to know who to support until I know which way Dannity Kane is leaning.

Please, please, don't let it be this administration that 'overhauls' WallStreet.

As for the celebrities opinions on politics, I think I heard Depp gave one of the best answers around when a reporter asked him about the US's political situation. "Lady, I'm an actor. Why are you asking me that?"

@JessicaLovejoy: Stars and Dykes Forever!: Apparently not.

I mean, look at WallStreet. "These mortagages aren't safe." "So?" "But they'll collapse." "But not until after we make a couple million." "But it's irresponsible." "Ach, everyone else is doing it."

And, um, yes, I did hear about EarthDay, but the people in Brisbane who told me about it, said, 'but we're not having it here, so whatever.' Which, just confuses me. Granted, I only turned off my lights for about twenty minutes. I was in the middle of a good comic book. And, yes, I know I'm an asshole.

Grills insisted, though, that she was not the only adult involved in the cruel hoax

And for some reason, I'm still amazed when people think their evil acts don't really count because "Oh hai, everybody else was doing it!" Erm, aren't you taught at like, eight years old that THAT IS NOT AN EXCUSE?

There is nothing better than Hitchens grabbing his bottle of bourbon and settling down to relive his 90s Clinton-hating peaks. He's drunk and everyone he's ever known is apparently dead to him since '92, and in 10 years that's going to be full-on hilarious, as opposed to just secretly entertaining.
