McDonald's Rap

Ed* Not really that funny at first then it starts gaining momentum.

News of The Weird

Police in Osaka, Japan, mobilized in January to apprehend fugitive Hirofumi Fukuda, 27, who was wanted for assaulting an officer (which tends to get the attention of fellow officers). By the end of the two-hour episode, a helicopter and 460 patrol cars, involving 2,240 law-enforcement officers, were on the case.

Ed* I am concluding that it might be pretty easy to be a "bad ass" in Japan.

Work Sucks

Right? Well it's not like I work at an Indian brick factory like dude above, but still work sucks.

I watched this show on The History Channel about Mayans last night.

The culture was so a head of its time and then the Spanish came in and wiped them out in the name of a some bearded white guy.

Brilliant.

At any rate some of the information was really fascinating such as the Mayan calendar, their concepts on time, astrology, architecture, etc.

Gangstarr

Continuing with music other then roots and dancehall. I've decided to start pulling out albums from my favorite era of hip-hop the early nineties.

Gangstarr is as good as any place as any to start with the decade.

Guru on the mic, Premiere on the beat. Pretty simple.

Get learned youngsters.

Tracy Morgan is My Idol

Someone actually got this inked.

It is Tracy Morgan's criminally over-looked character from "Totally Awesome."

If you aren't familiar with the role peep it below.

Thanks for the heads up Nick Nasty

The Wizard

Ed* I still remember seeing this in the theaters and when they showed Super Mario Bros 3 for the first time every kid in the theater simultaneously sh*t their pants. The good ol' days.

News of The Weird

Lawyer confidentiality rules kept one man improperly on death row for 10 years and a probably innocent man in prison for 26, according to news that surfaced in January (in Virginia) and March (in Illinois). Daryl Atkins (sentenced to death in 1997) was the victim of probable prosecutorial misconduct, according to his co-defendant's lawyer, Leslie Smith, who said he witnessed the misconduct but could not report it because a lesser sentence for Atkins would have exposed his own client to greater punishment. In Illinois, Alton Logan was convicted of a murder during a 1982 robbery. However, shortly afterward, Andrew Wilson admitted to his lawyers that he was the murderer, but bar association rules prohibited them from revealing that. When Wilson died in 2007, the lawyers went public, and Logan's case has been re-opened. [New York Times, 1-19-08] [CBS News, 3-6-08]

Ed* Imagine being innocent for 26 years because some prick didn't pipe up.
