Fool Me Once...

Although I try my best not to regurgitate all of the current worthless hip-hop blog gossip, I refuse to give this one a free pass:

The story goes something like this...

1) Truth-seeking website The Smoking Gun exposes Rick Ross, who claimed to have been an everyday Tony Montana prior to becoming a mediocre rapper. Truth is: he was actually a State Correctional Officer!
2) Hip-hop blogs go bananas with the story.
3) Hip-hop fans are so shocked and baffled they create YouTube videos, make "funny" Photoshop projects, have wet Rick Ross dreams, etc.
4) HipHop DX picks up on how infatuated with obvious lies hip-hop fans are. They decide to run the same game, filing for similar documentation in Florida to prove that Plies was never the criminal he has claimed to be. Which, of course, they were right about.
5) Hip-hop fans reach a point of a deep identity crisis, realizing that their heroes are not who they thought they were.
6) I get mad and go on a rant:

You, and by you, I mean everyone eating this story alive like it's NEWS, are probably the ones who voted for George Bush in the first election. And the second one. (I am not kidding). The parallels between the lies that Bush got away with and those that Ross did are infinite, mostly because you and your gullible tribe of American goons not only believed everything you were told, you acted surprised when you found out you were lied to.

This country's inability to investigate those who dictate 90% of their reality is inexcusable. I knew that Ross was a phony from day one. And Bush. And that's not because Im smarter, Im just fucking paying attention. I don't need the Smoking Gun to release 25 documents telling me Rick Ross isn't smuggling a kilo in that belly. Likewise I don't need tens of thousands of troops to die or my gas to cost $5/gallon to know (8 years ago) that Bush was an evil hypocrite.

Rant over. WAKE UP.

7) This is the only good Rick Ross song by the way:

Chris Matthews Is Gangsta

If you haven't heard yet, on the 60th Anniversary of Israel's Independence George Bush gave a speech that compared Obama and the democratic party to the "Nazi appeasers" of the late 1930s. He made this blanket statement in reference to Obama's willingness to speak with countries that we are at war with.

Of course there are a handful of Republican talking heads supporting this preposterous & flimsy excuse for a man. This includes radio show host Kevin James, seen here, who made the big mistake of not knowing a thing in front of Chris Matthews, who called him out straight up on his fuckery.

We like, Chris! More of this in mainstream media and I might start watching the news regularly again.
