Maybe you’re thinking it’s exercise? Or eating right? No, no, I said easy!

“[It]… has affected my wheat cultivation and my chickens and other animals as well,” he said.

Sometimes I think many believe the environment has nothing to do with them. That’s an easier position to take if one lives in an urban or even suburban community, but the effects of problems in nature can be felt in ways one might not even think of.
In this case if you’re on heroin or know someone who is junkies beware, the price is going up. (more…)

“The feel and style we’re going for is a little grittier, a little edgier, a little hipper,” said Bruce Seidel, the senior vice president for programming and production for the Cooking Channel.
It seems like TLC, The Travel Channel’s action packed food lineup and ABC’s “Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution” is putting a hurting on the more bland programming of Food Network. The execs got the message and are looking to switch it up a bit on a whole new channel.
The Cooking Channel is targeting the younger, hipster hipper crowd and maybe even the more eco-conscious viewer with younger cooks and fresher programming. I know what you’re thinking, people who cook that are even younger than Rachel Ray and Bobby Flay? Is that even possible? Well it is and apparently Food Network has finally figured that out. Yes, there is always Ace Of Cakes but they’re not enough.
Seems like there will still be no serious discussion about food on this network though and we will have to leave that to Michael Pollan who has had some words about the Food Network in the past. The new network is, however, considering featuring programs that feature killing chickens on air which I guess the Supreme Court would think is ok.
Also they are considering programming on eating disorders and obesity. Can you imagine a food network doing a show on people who throw up food? (more…)

Sarah Palin, the former governor of Alaska who didn’t even finish her term as governor, is going to have a reality show on Discovery Communications‘ TLC cable channel. They prefer to call it a “documentary series about the remarkable Governor Palin and her home state of Alaska” not a reality show. I prefer to call it affirmative action for a hateful, an anti intellectual white woman who showed up in the right places at the right times and said what some folks wanted to hear over and over again.
To some she may come off as folksy, “middle America” type hockey mom, but I’ve always thought of her as more of a battle rapper. She showed up to the Republican Nation Convention with battle rap punchlines for Obama’s camp.
She had, to quote Canibus in “How We Roll”, “many lines, more lines than a million pair of Adidas/ More lines than the bible quoted from Jesus/ More lines than a African herd of zebras”. She’s got as much bravado as any rapper and gets away with far more so this list for me was inevitable. (more…)

I don’t much care for this Glenn Beck character and when I say that I really mean it. I only knew who he was maybe last year. It seemed to me his rocket to fame shot up inexplicably fast, faster than Beyonce’s fame, and even more out of nowhere for me. I never intended for this website to be a home for this guy, Jay-Z or the Mrs., and yet here we are….
Apparently this fiery right wing FOX News “talk” show host is secretly Al Gore, a treehugging hippie liberal.
Maybe that’s an exaggeration about both parties, but according to a recent Mother Jones article Beck has views that are clearly contrary to those of his most loyal viewers and his on air persona. These revelations are from a recent interview Beck did with USA Weekend.
You’d be an idiot not to notice the temperature change” ~Glenn Beck
Not only is Glenn Beck a believer in climate change but he also believes it’s a problem and in part manmade.
There’s nothing wrong with (more…)

It’s like when I was a kid, I once bought 50 caramels from the store and tried to eat all of them at once.
At first it seemed like a dream come true, but when I got halfway through they started to taste like peanut butter and I didn’t want to see another caramel for a week.
For some reason that’s what Jay has always been like for me, tasty in small doses but a whole album tastes like peanut butter.
Jay-Z has always tried to play both sides of the “conscious” fence. (more…)

Every little bit counts but I would like to pass on whatever the baby Jay-Z and Bono have will sound like.
We can blame Swizz Beats for getting the unlikely duo together.
It is the thought that counts and whatever they raise will be helpful so thanks.
“Last night we wrote a song. Bono got a call from a producer, Swizz. He and Jay-Z wanted to do something for Haiti. So, Bono came up with the phrase on the phone, and last night we were here, we wrote a song – finished, recorded and send (sic) back to them. So, that might be the next thing you hear from us!” ~U2 guitarist Edge wrote on his site, quote via ecorazzi.com
“Rihanna is releasing her cover of Bob Marley’s “Redemption Song” on iTunes, with the proceeds earmarked for Haitian relief efforts by the Red Cross, UNICEF, Oxfam America and Partners in Health. The track, which she first performed on Oprah on Jan. 20, can also be purchased at Oprah.com and at Rihannanow.com.” ~gather.com
I’ll be passing on that one too, sorry. (more…)

The jobless rate in the United States for October has hit 10.2%. For some reason people are only just now deciding to calculate the number of unemployed persons working part time jobs who would rather be working fulltime jobs and those who have given up on looking for work.
Why are they so late? These are the only kind of numbers anyone should be dealing with in the first place because it gives a much more accurate picture of what is going on now.
According to the NY Times:
“In all, more than one out of every six workers — 17.5 percent — were unemployed or underemployed in October. The previous recorded high was 17.1 percent, in December 1982.”
Sadly, I wonder if these numbers are coming out now to show some type of incompetence on President Obama’s part. One op ed even called for President Obama to stop blaming Bush and get us out of this mess. Whoever wrote that op ed has a job so how much could I possibly care what they have to say about that.
It’s ironic all of this celebration of NY State with Jay-Z, Alicia Keyes, the Yankees and the complete disconnect between all of that and the people. My adventures in unemployment land have been numerous with my last bout of unemployment in NY State being the most, shall we say exciting. (more…)
