Rap artist Lil Mama crashed the Jay-Z/Alicia Keys performance last night and has become the poster child for trying to steal someone else's shine. Well, maybe not steal, but she was definitely trying to borrow some. She jumped on stage and, in defiance of J himself, forced herself into the final freeze pose of the performance. It was ridiculous to watch. Here are some photos that were created from the resulting meme.
Attacks on President Obama are not, in and of themselves, racist. They might be made without racist intent; they can even be made without racist effect if they do not find greater results because of ingrained stereotypes about African Americans. Criticizing the president for being willing to push for a clean energy bill, for example, is likely to be devoid of racial effects. However, arguing that he is lying, is corrupt, or has friends who are criminal does have a racist effect because it is easier for us to believe such claims about an African American, as they comprise the myth of the Black character.
However, in 2003, Wilson voted to provide federal funds for illegal immigrants’ healthcare. The vote came on the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003, which contained Sec. 1011 authorizing $250,000 annually between 2003 and 2008 for government reimbursements to hospitals who provide treatment for uninsured illegal immigrants. The program has been extended through 2009 and there is currently a bipartisan bill in Congress to make it permanent.
Lets play a game!
I’m going to make five statements about myself. Four will be true, one will be a lie. Can you figure out which one is the lie?
This was very hard given how much of an oversharer I am online. So, which is the lie?
Ronald Kessler, the author of the new book "In the President's Secret Service" says budget cuts are so deep and "culture change" is so pervasive that the Secret Service is putting the President's life at risk due to agents having to cut so many corners reports CBS News. The Secret Service denies Kessler's allegations.
WASHINGTON - U.S. Capitol Police have arrested a Virginia man they say tried to get into a secure area near the Capitol with a gun in his car as the president gave his health care address to Congress.
You gotta be freakin kidding me
In the last couple of weeks, a random internet meme apparently sprung up to highlight this sort of reporting, initiated in a comment on the ever-excellent Fark, it involved a commenter questioning: "Why haven't we had an official response to the rumor that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a girl in 1990?" The idea, which seems plain to many involved, is not to actually suggest that Glenn Beck did such a thing -- but to highlight this tactic of making a totally bogus rumor into "news" by stating it, and wondering why there hasn't been a denial. A bunch of folks have picked up on this claim and run with it (apparently greatly upsetting some loyal Beck fans), turning it into one of those internet memes with legs.
