10 things you should know about John McCain (but probably don't):

1. John McCain voted against establishing a national holiday in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Now he says his position has "evolved," yet he's continued to oppose key civil rights laws.

2. According to Bloomberg News, McCain is more hawkish than Bush on Iraq, Russia and China. Conservative columnist Pat Buchanan says McCain "will make Cheney look like Gandhi."

3. His reputation is built on his opposition to torture, but McCain voted against a bill to ban waterboarding, and then applauded President Bush for vetoing that ban.

4. McCain opposes a woman's right to choose. He said, "I do not support Roe versus Wade. It should be overturned."

5. The Children's Defense Fund rated McCain as the worst senator in Congress for children. He voted against the children's health care bill last year, then defended Bush's veto of the bill.5

6. He's one of the richest people in a Senate filled with millionaires. The Associated Press reports he and his wife own at least eight homes! Yet McCain says the solution to the housing crisis is for people facing foreclosure to get a "second job" and skip their vacations.

7. Many of McCain's fellow Republican senators say he's too reckless to be commander in chief. One Republican senator said: "The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He's erratic. He's hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me."

8. McCain talks a lot about taking on special interests, but his campaign manager and top advisers are actually lobbyists. The government watchdog group Public Citizen says McCain has 59 lobbyists raising money for his campaign, more than any of the other presidential candidates.

9. McCain has sought closer ties to the extreme religious right in recent years. The pastor McCain calls his "spiritual guide," Rod Parsley, believes America's founding mission is to destroy Islam, which he calls a "false religion." McCain sought the political support of right-wing preacher John Hagee, who believes Hurricane Katrina was God's punishment for gay rights and called the Catholic Church "the Antichrist" and a "false cult."

10. He positions himself as pro-environment, but he scored a 0—yes, zero—from the League of Conservation Voters last year.

If 50 had a little girl is this what she would look like?....that's a question for another day. So 50 baby momma says that he is kicking out her and her son knowing that they have no place to go...boo-hoo-hoo. I say if 50 don't want you and your boyfriend mooching off him no more then that's his decision. You a grown ass woman why don't you have your shit together? I don't usually agree with 50 Cent on anything, besides smart buisiness moves, but I side with him on this one. How you not stacking paper lady? I'm sure even the child support checks you get is enough for the child, rent or a mortgage somewhere! I mean 50 is worth like a trillion dollars right now. She getting broke off pretty nice. Maybe if she wasn't doin dumb shit with her money she wouldn't be so desperate right now. Only thing I hold 50 responsible for is messing with a chick named Shaniqua. You shoulda known you had a hood rat on your hands....what a mess!!

50 Cent Sued by His Son's Mother
April 3, 2008, 4:10 PM EST
NEW YORK (AP) -- Grammy-nominated rapper 50 Cent is being sued by a former girlfriend who says the hip-hop superstar is trying to evict her and their 10-year-old son from their multimillion-dollar home.

The single-page notice filed by Shaniqua Tompkins accuses 50 Cent of breach of contract and unjust enrichment. Her lawyer says this means he broke a promise to give Tompkins and son Marquise a home.

"This was a house that was promised to Shaniqua up until the closing," said Tompkins' lawyer Paul Catsandonis. "Then he decided not to put it in her name. Now he's trying to put her out of the house. This would mean evicting his own son."

The rapper's lawyer, Bret Kimmel, did not immediately return calls for comment Thursday.

Catsandonis said the 32-year-old rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, paid about $2.4 million for the house, one of the largest in the Long Island neighborhood of Dix Hills. He said 50 Cent, who was shot outside his grandmother's Queens home in 2000, had told Tompkins, 32, he wanted her and their son in a safe and secure place.

"This is somebody who was with him when he was shot and who nursed him back to health," Catsandonis said, adding that Tompkins met the rapper when she was 15. "I think what he's doing is horrible."

The rapper was sitting in a friend's car when he was shot on May 24, 2000. Bullets hit him in the hand, arm, hip, legs, chest and face, and he spent 13 days in a hospital.

The shooter reportedly was killed three weeks later.

Tompkins' lawsuit was filed Wednesday in New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan. It asks the court to declare that she has a right to live in the house. She already gets court-ordered financial support from 50 Cent for their son.

The rapper has been nominated for 13 Grammys, including nods for the song "In da Club" and the album "Get Rich or Die Tryin'." In 2005, he starred with Terrence Howard in a semi-autobiographical movie based on that album.

He also starred in the 2006 film "Home of the Brave" as a soldier returning home from the Iraq War.

Album release date revealed...April 23rd, 2008!!

We will be performing new songs at the Penguin Nite Club. Come check us out. See this crazy ass blogspot come to live LOL

Taken from Yahoo news

Jay-Z is on the verge of a deal with concert promoter Live Nation worth about $150 million that rivals the biggest music contracts ever, the New York Times reported on its Web site on Wednesday.

Jay-Z was said to be planning to leave his longtime record label, Def Jam, for a package with Live Nation, which includes financing his own entertainment venture as well as recordings and tours over the next decade.

The deal, which sources told the newspaper should be finalized this week, comes after Live Nation earlier this week announced a 12-year agreement to handle the merchandising, digital and branding rights and touring of Irish group U2.

Live Nation, which unveiled a $120 million deal with Madonna five months ago, has been expanding its business model to develop more far-reaching and deeper relationships with artists beyond just handling their touring as CD sales plunge.

No one at Live Nation was immediately available to comment on the Jay-Z report.

Like many other performers, Jay-Z -- whose real name is Shawn Carter -- has seen his record sales fall but he has also pursued other business ventures such as a clothing line, Rocawear, which he sold last year for $204 million, and a chain of 40/40 nightclubs.

This has kept him at the top of Forbes magazine's annual list of "Hip-Hop Cash Kings" with estimated earnings of $34 million in 2006.

The New York Times said the deal with Live Nation would involve the concert promoter funding a start-up of a venture called Roc Nation that would be an umbrella for the rapper's outside projects which are expected to include his own label, music publishing, and talent consulting and managing.

The venture would split profits with Jay-Z.

Jay-Z, 38, last year stepped down as president of Def Jam Records, a unit of French media concern Vivendi SA's Universal Music Group, saying he wanted to "take on new challenges."

As well as being one of the world's best known rappers who regularly tops the lists of richest hip hop moguls, he is also known for his romance with R&B singer Beyonce Knowles.

People magazine reported this week that the couple had taken out a wedding license in Scarsdale Villge, New York, that is valid for 60 days. But representatives for the couple have declined to comment on latest rumors of an impending marriage.

A Janet fan(me) vents on this history breaking week for Madonna and Mooriah....

I'ma about to go on a lamb killing spree.

I can't believe that slutacious bimbo with a super flat ass, Mariah, has went number 1 once again.

I admit it. I am jealous. I am mad and I ain't gonna take it no more.

Moo-riah, I don't want to touch your body, I want to touch your face, with my new timbos...

I haven't been this mad since the old king died.

Join me janatics...Join me on my mission. call all the radio stations and say "you ugly fat bitches. How dare you play Mariah and not Janet". Let 4 and 5 words be your weapons. Attack Janatics...Attack with everything you've got.

We must be avenged!! Janet must be avenged!!

The retarded kid at the front desk of my job is a Mariah fan. So about 11am I snuck in the fridge and got his lunch and ate it in the name of Janet Jackson fans everywhere. And that boy is emotional and plus sized so he started to cry when he discovered he had nothing to eat.

Serves him right. He shouldn't have been humming "Touch My Body" in the hallway last Tuesday

Two leading ladies, Mariah Carey and Madonna, leapfrog over Elvis Presley in the Billboard charts record book this week.

As expected, Mariah Carey moves past Elvis Presley and into sole possession of second place for most No. 1s in the rock era, as "Touch My Body" soars 15-1 on the Billboard Hot 100 to become her 18th chart-topper. With her album "E=MC2" yet to hit retail, Carey might equal the Beatles' record of 20 No. 1s before her set runs its course.

"Body's" blast to No. 1 is fueled by a record-setting debut week digital tally of 286,000 downloads. That sum, good enough for the No. 1 slot on Hot Digital Songs, surpasses the 277,000 downloads labelmate Rihanna opened with in the June 9, 2007, issue with her summer smash "Umbrella."

Presley will also be nudged from his standing as the artist with the most top 10s in the rock era, as Madonna surpasses him with her 37th top 10, "4 Minutes." The track, which features Justin Timberlake, clocks a 68-3 jump. Previous to the establishment of the Billboard Hot 100 in 1958, the industry standard chart was the Best Sellers in Stores tally, where Presley scored his first 12 top 10s.

Like Carey's "Touch," Madonna's Hot 100 jump is spurred by stupendous download sales. "4 Minutes" shifts 217,000 in its first week of wide release (it had been available as a Verizon exclusive) to enter Hot Digital Songs at No. 2.


This is the first time since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking digital sales in 2003 that two titles debut simultaneously on Hot Digital Songs with more than 200,000 downloads each. The week also marks the best single-week digital tally in either artist's career.

"What You Seek is Now"

What you seek is now

End the battle within yourself and you will know peace. Cease to separate one thing from another and you experience unity.

Enlightenment is not the accumulation of knowledge or wisdom. It is the full realization of what you already are.

Richness has nothing to do with material artifacts or financial transactions. It is the surrender to an abundance that has no limit.

What you seek is not somewhere else, or this or that. What you seek is now.

The more you look for it, the more it hides from you. Relax, remember the source of your deepest yearnings, and allow yourself to know their fulfillment.
