KANYE HURT GEORGE BUSH'S FEELINGS

During a recent interview with NBC news anchor Matt Lauer George, former president George W. Bush admits that, more than anything else, it’s a remark by Kanye West that ranks as one of the worst moments of his presidency, according to excerpts of the interview released on Tuesday night.
The interview, which airs on Monday at 8 p.m. ET on NBC, touches on comments made by the Chicago rapper during a 2004 live NBC telethon to benefit Hurricane Katrina victims in which Kanye went off script to famously say that “George Bush doesn’t care about Black people.
Well George if you wouldn't have said that Brownuie is doing a heck of a job maybe kanye would not have said that. I didn't know words from Kanye had that much clout.

PEOPLE AREN'T LIKING BP RIGHT NOW

An angry vandal has given BP a piece of his - or her - mind, smearing what looks to be black paint over a Manhattan BP gas station sign.
The oil giant's green and yellow sun logo was dripping with black grunge Tuesday, ticking off the station's owner, but impressing New Yorkers frustrated at the company's catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
"I think when a company destroys a major part of the world then losing one sign is completely fair," said grad student Loren Dent, 29, of Williamsburg, chuckling to himself as he walked by the E. Houston St. station.
The store's furious owner didn't find the protest so fair -` or so funny.
"They don't understand that they're not hitting BP, they're hitting an independent business man," said the owner, who asked not to be named.
"The contract we signed (with BP) was several years before the oil spill," he protested, before calling BP and requesting a new sign.
I guess BP had that coming.
Hey I know, let's get a giant cork next maybe that will work.

BILL GATES LOSING POLIO WAR

Bill Gates walked into the World Health Organization's headquarters in Geneva—for a meeting in an underground chamber where global pandemics are managed—and was greeted by bad news. Polio was spreading across Africa, even after he gave $700 million to try to wipe out the disease. What a noble effort but maybe he can help in other ways, like give me a loan.
