put 50 cent out of a job

Curtis Jackson may have survived being shot eight times, but he's set himself up for the biggest loss of his career:

"If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I'll no longer [perform] music."

Please join all the clear thinking people of the world and buy Kanye West's "Graduation" on September 11 rather than 50 Cent's album, the name of which I (appropriately) can't remember.


UPDATE:
Kanye wins.
Graduation: 930,251
Curtis: 659,682

PS- looks like Graduation will be platinum in the next day or so...

politics

"Clearly, no one has consolidated the conservative vote," said Whit Ayres, a Republican strategist unaligned in the presidential race. -- Los Angeles Times

currently, the republican party is in a state of chaos.

there is no clear leader, no one is taking any sort of action.

think about the last 12 years of republican politics-- what happened to all the leaders? competition during and following the clinton administration must have been cutthroat.

and who emerged as the king of executions? karl rove, with cronies george bush and dick cheney.

when one looks at the republican primaries, it is evident that no candidate has a firm grip on Republican politics. why? because rove & co. assassinated so many potential leaders on their way to the top that the current climate has been ravished.

killing leaders during their gestation? perhaps bush isn't as anti-abortion as he would have you believe...
