30 Days, 30 Songs
Anybody following 30 Days, 30 songs? DCFC, Aimee Mann and someone named Bhi Bhiman have put up songs. It sounds like we'll get songs from Jim James, REM and others as well.

The slur "sh*thole" or "sh*t hole" discussion
Lets talk about the reference "sh*thole" or "sh*t hole" which for the youngsters present and in accordance with forum rules I will refer to hereafter simply as "shole".

President Oprah? President The Rock?
Really? Come on, America. Learn from your mistakes. The entertainment industry is not the same as running the most powerful office on the planet. I know everyone hates "career politicians", but at least they know what they are doing. You can't go into a job leading 300 million people and representing them with other world…

This consumeristic society and how to cope in it
Not sure if this belongs in AMT or AET but anyways, I'm kind of feeling down tonight about the way our society has become. I don't know about the USA and elsewhere but here in my city I feel like everyone is overly and only absorbed in the brands they possess. My two nieces for example, nothing is ever enough for them,…

The execution-style murder of three African-American college students in Newark, N.J., forced to kneel and shot in the head -- allegedly by an illegal alien from Peru who was out on bail for the serial rape of a 5-year-old -- has the makings of a Willie Horton issue in 2008.

Fear & Loathing in Trump's AmeriKKKa
Watching the election returns last night my thoughts turned to Hunter S Thompson and what he would think of this whole fiasco. I think he saw it coming with the re-election of Bush Jr. This country was on the fast track to hell. Too bad we don't have many honest journalist left nowadays to call out this sick celebrity…
