Blackalicious - Nia cd

Boy Sets Fire. Coheed and Cambria. Lucky Boys Confusion. Less Than Jake. Yellowcard. Sparta.

damn Cawthon, this shit is awesome!

He makes some good microwaveable sausages though

Daft Punk - Discovery cd

Oh my word...Ill bet this happened in Kentucky....oh yeah, thats right Wisconsin needs to trump this one now.

thats pretty lame duder

Shut the fuck up with the gayest and most annoying gimmick ever. Fuck Johnson, we have a new King of the Annoying at TSM. Stop or just leave. Thanks

And I never will either...you know how many other exciting(and Im noit denying he prolly puts on a great show, everyone says he does so Ill believe it) bands and artists I would rather see in bars/clubs/parties for under 10$? ALOT....and I prolly wont have to see many MTV dork kids there either. Just my opinion...and for energetic music - Local H trumps AWK. edit- Thats not meant to say that I think your an 'MTV dork'.

Andrew WK, and Static Lullaby and Reliant K are the WORST on that lineup...soo many better bands there.

Damn...pretty good lineup there...Local H

I thought it was a pretty good review, its always nice to see a review from a different perspective...usually I end up seeing the same old tape/dvd review just written a lil differently by about a hundred different writers. I also liked the arguement about the Flair-Bisch situation. I had never really considered the idea of Eric booking that event to be totally perfect for Flair. Good food for thought here, something so often lacking in IWC reviews.

Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow cd

Seems relevant to me...thanks for the link.

Id just like to say... The Man in redbaron's sig is God.

lame That kind of thing is just as pathetic as 'Gore got the popular votes...3 years ago, GET OVER IT!' Did you know that Hayes-Tilden is still discussed/studied today? Teapot Dome? Boss Tweed?

BUT, if there is nothing anybody can point to that Haliburton got unfairly --- how is there a conflict of interest because the VP used to work for them? -=Mike The sitting Vice President of a country should never be involved in any way with a company that got an oil contract for a recently conquered country. If this situation happened anywhere else in the world, what would your opinion of the situation be? Or what if, say, Kosovo had oil fields and Bill Clinton had conquered/occupied that country. Say Al Gore had ties to Five Star Oil er something that got a large contract for that country. What would your opinion be of that situation?

Good Lord

You may have seen him lose a fairly entertaining fight to Hasim Rachman on HBO boxing after dark several years ago...

Enron. Energy task force. Haliburton. Thing is, nothing can really be shown that says they got preferential treatment. Enron? They made their money under Clinton's administration (with gov't contracts, to boot) and the company DIED in 2001 or so. Bush didn't give them ANYTHING for the campaign donations they made. He let them die because, darn it, they DESERVED to die. He didn't try and bail them out --- something the Congress did for the airline industry (when it shouldn't have) because one of the biggest lobbyists for that group is married to a prominent Congressman. Haliburton? Again, they have been used by the gov't to provide services for YEARS. Bush wasn't the first. They WON the contract to provide emergency services for the military (which eliminates the need to have competitive bids for contracts for every single thing the military or gov't needs done). Nothing illegal or improper there. And what, precisely, was illegal about the task force? I don't get the illegality here. They had CEO's of energy companies (which isn't too bad an idea when discussing shaping energy policy) and asked for their input. They promised the CEO's that the transcripts wouldn't be made public so that the CEO's could actually provide their honest evaluations rather than trying to play to their shareholders. I, honestly, don't see the controversy there. I really don't. -=Mike The real problem with Haliburton - Not about illegal/not, or that it had already been a government contracter for years and years prior. The problem was that the company had ties to Dick Cheney and that, obviously, is a major conflict of interest.

I think his huge win over Wlad(a very highly rated fight for HBO) would certainly give him a solid amount of recognizability. Hes probably not quite as 'big' as a Byrd or a Tua or a Tyson in name value but I think this is a fair fight for Heavyweight Championship of the World.
