STAR AND BUC WILD RETURN TO NY AIRWAVES!

If you thought you were going to get Nas in December, you must know that is not going to happen. Nas got his wig pushed back like many before him and N****r will now drop in February. Now, how ironic is that – during Black History Month. Nevertheless, according to a recent mtv report, DJ Toomp (my favorite producer of the moment), Salaam Remi, Diddy and others are on board. Anyway, I know Al Sharpton and them wanted the X-Mas gift of Nasir, but they will have to wait for that love near Valentine's Day! I was thinking that Nas should call the album N***r, K*ke, Sp*c and Cr****r just in an effort to take the sting out of all the words.

I admit, I was kinda hoping Jay would reach out and cuss me out for that silly rumor about him employing a ghostwriter.

Time to re-assess attitude to alcohol

So is junk food. But neither of them is "good". Furthermore, being good doesn't always guarantee popularity – if that was the case, carrots and celery would be in much higher demand. And why do we tend to lean towards popular – even when we know that, sadly, carrots are better for us than chocolate. One thing our society is generally good at, supported by underlying philosophies such as individualism and materialism, is elevating short-term pleasure over long-term benefits. Hence, a smoker will tell you that they know cigarettes are bad for them but they still smoke.

It's why I choose a chocolate bar instead of an apple for a mid-afternoon snack, or sleep in instead of getting up and exercising. I know what is good, but the good is not always popular. And being popular does not make it good – no matter what the owner of the Normanby may hope.

Sony leery of the Eee PC?

LAS VEGAS--As a computer, the Eee PC from ASUS is intended to be the opposite of intimidating--it's made for children after all. But its potential as a market force is apparently giving chills to its larger industry peers.

Here at Sony's annual Open House event, the senior vice president of Sony's IT product division said the tiny S$598 (US$380.46) notebook could potentially shift the entire notebook industry.

"If (the Eee PC from) ASUS starts to do well, we are all in trouble. That's just a race to the bottom," said Mike Abary.

This year, the American people will choose between two diametrically ...

The Democratic Party looks at our nation and sees the twilight of the American soul.

This is not some abstract formula. It is the vibrant, beating heart of the American experience. No matter how complex our problems, no matter how difficult our tasks, it is freedom that inspires and guides the American Dream.

ON STYLE

Miyake deserves credit for hiring several models of color, but he seemed nonplussed when I asked him about weight. He chose models who are "just suitable for our clothes," he repeated several times.

BACK IN IRAQ: THE 'WHORES OF WAR'

EVEN FOR Blackwater, it was an atrocity too far. If an Iraqi government report is to be believed, Blackwater, a US mercenary company which is unofficially the world's largest "for hire" private army, indiscriminately and without provocation opened fire earlier this month on civilians in a Baghdad street, killing at least 20 people.

This coincides with the release of a US Embassy report on the September 16 shooting, obtained by the Washington Post and described by a State Department official as a "first blush" account. It details the events, as given by Blackwater guards, and has stirred controversy in Iraq and Washington and prompted an inquiry into the role of Blackwater and other private security firms in Iraq.
