Down With The Obamanation!

Okay, so I'm going to commencement now. I have tickets. Yay.

Live blogging? If they'll let me.

Song of the Day: Fatal by Pearl Jam

I love the guitars in this song. Eddie Vedder is OKAY.

Obamination

I woke up early today (Morning is early). Shook off a hangover. Brushed my teeth. I was going to see Obama. Well, I was going to get tickets to see Obama. Then I remembered that I was at Michigan. I go to a school of a bunch of liberal hippies. And they all suck. There was a huge line going down State Street, as far as the eye could see. I sort of knew that this was the line to see the President, but I just walked past them. There were people...inside...who had camped out...they were still sleeping. That's when I had a realization. I go to school with a bunch of liberals. Too many infact. I had had it.

Barack, why are you so popular? Michigan has the highest unemployment in the union and yet you still are popular amongst our student population. People called you out of touch with the American public. Perhaps it's the American public who is out of touch with America?

Bottom line: Fuck this school.

Real line: I've seen Obama speak before. Who cares.

I don't have time for lines. I'm home. I'm blogging. I'm sleeping.

Song of the Day: Shine on You Crazy Diamond performed by Roger Waters

It's been stuck in my head the last few days, so why shouldn't it be stuck in yours?

Roger Waters has announced that he will be playing the entire The Wall album on his next tour. Yeah, I cover everything.

Senate PISSED at Goldman

This is mildly funny.

And Now You May Go

Those were the famous words that Virgil Sollozzo said to Tom Hagen in The Godfather Part I after telling him to convince Sonny to go along with the narcotics business that he proposed. Today, another Tom Hagen will be released; Thomas Hagen, the assassin of Malcolm X was paroled today:

Thomas Hagan, the only man who admitted his role in the 1965 assassination of iconic black leader Malcolm X, was paroled Tuesday.

While controversy surrounds someone who took part in the assassination of such an iconic leader, Hagen has done his part in prison and earned the right to his freedom:

To win his release, Hagan was required to seek, obtain and maintain a job, support his children and abide by a curfew. He must continue to meet those conditions while free. He told the parole board he's worked the same job for the past seven years. He told the New York Post in 2008 he was working at a fast-food restaurant.

Others feel that Hagen should spend the rest of his life in prison:

"I personally find it strange that for a couple decades any person convicted in the assassination of such an iconic figure would be allowed such leniency," Ramadan said.

That's Zead Ramadan, Board Chairmen of The Malcolm X & Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center. However, it appears that Hagen has the right mindset:

"My focus is to maintain my family and to try to make things a little better for them. It's upward mobility, and to encourage my children to complete their education because it's a must."

History must move on.

Song of the Day: Brain Stew by Green Day

I hate the band, but this pretty much sums up how I feel today:

Going After Goldman

Isn't it the responsibility of a company to make money? I will have more on this later, when I am more bored.

Hollywood Saved

Hugh Hefner helped save the Hollywood sign:

(Reuters) - Playboy magazine founder Hugh Hefner on Monday donated the last $900,000 sought by a conservation group for a land purchase needed to save the famed vista of the Hollywood sign from being spoiled by development.

Probably the most iconic landmark in the Los Angeles area.

Weather Delay: Oil Clean Up

This is not good with the rig leaking a lot of oil every day.

Idiot of the Day: Tito Ortiz

Tito Ortiz was just arrested for domestic violence:

We're told when cops arrived at the couple's home in Huntington Beach, CA -- Jenna Jameson had "visible injuries."

Keep the fighting in the Octagon and not in your home Tito. Idiot.

Sure to Be Blown Out of Proportion

This is sure to be blown out of proportion, pun intended:

NEW ORLEANS — Coast Guard officials said Monday afternoon that the oil spill near Louisiana is now covering more than 1,800 square miles of the Gulf of Mexico, and they have been unable to engage a mechanism that could shut off the well thousands of feet below the water’s surface.

You know environmentalists will capitalize on this.

This is Hilarious: Boobquake

I don't need to say anything:

Boobquake, a day of action that calls on women worldwide to dress scandalously and prove wrong an Iranian cleric who blames natural disasters on immodest cleavage, has started disastrously, news.com.au reported Monday.

Looking around, and I'm not really seeing the cleavage.

Song of the Day: Can't You See by The Marshall Tucker Band

I usually have a song that I listen too much every day. Yesterday, it was "California Dreamin'" by The Mamas & The Papas. I want to bring music to the people. This is a great song.

Just watch.
