Blame It On Hip-Hop ... Againnew
It's embarrassingly easy to blame hip-hop or a "street" mentality for today's "urban holocaust." But do you really think these events are happening because black kids are listening to Soulja Boy? Hell no! It's simple: M-O-N-E-Y and the lack of it.

If the holidays are a time of reflecting on the past and the future, you might as well hang out with your friends and play Guitar Hero on the Wii. After all, donating to cool charities and supporting local artists is something you should be doing all year.

The Runsnew
I would like to say, in this, the run-up to The Holidays, that I am sick of all this stuff that gets run-up to, seriously. All this "The Runup" to The Elections and "The Runup" to The War, or the Next War, or the Continuing War, if you will, right? Quit saying "the Runup to," stuff, OK?
