Head to Head: Sen. Clinton vs. Sen. Obama

For many of us, Super Tuesday is tomorrow and it is the first step to creating a much needed change to a country down and in dire need of help. Many of us are vexed and torn about who to vote for when it comes to the Democratic Nominee. For voters, there is no better way than to judge our candidates than to see how they react under pressure in a debate or to hear what they say and how they react to tough questions. We all need to be dedicated in getting out and voting. Many of us do not like the position that we are in today with the so-called leader we have today, our chance to begin changing it is tomorrow - it lies in our hands. For Democrats, the vote is between two candidates being that the third candidate (who is probably the right choice dropped out, for once, we can say that a candidate was neither Black enough or Woman enough - big props to my big bro Rob). On the Republican side, many of us have our minds made up: we don't want/need another Ultra-Conservative President in office - especially when they mention Ronald Reagan as a Republican/Conservative Hero - that's more of a reason for me to steer away from those guys. Although I'm only in my early 20's, I've still seen the after effects of what Reagan has done to the working class and Black community. (see, the Crack Epidemic, war on welfare, affirmative action, & war on poverty - disguised as a war on drugs). We still see these after effects as someone who gets locked up for a particular amount of possession of crack/cocaine gets at least 15 years in the pen - I'm not arguing against that, but when you compare that to White Collar Crimes and DUIs that murder people daily - and see these crimes get ignored or getting off by paying fines - the worst case scenario is they get 11 years in most cases - unacceptable. Here is a series of video-clips of the Democratic Debate between Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. Hillary Clinton last Thursday. Be informed, Be educated, Be aware.

Super Bowl XLII First, congrats the to New York Giants last night - no one thought they could do it, except themselves. They definitely played their asses off - never underestimate the strength of heart -real talk. A few things that no one would have imagined -especially this time last year: 1) The Giants would make it to the Super Bowl 2) The Giants would make it to the Super Bowl minus Tiki Barber AND Jeremy Shockey 3) Tom Coughlin still had a head coaching job in the NFL 4) Eli Manning - Super Bowl MVP!? It all seems a little too good to be true and I'm interested in seeing what the off-season brings for the G-Men besides huge raises for all of them. Let's just hope that they stay hungry and don't get ahead of themselves like their opponents last night. The Patriots blew that game because they know that they didn't play like they should have and not as hard as they should have. Retrospect is only 20/20. I can't lie though, I did want to see perfection - (it's such a pretty word with even better meaning) and my homie Randy Moss do it up big - but I'm definitely not mad at the G-Men they did it up and they definitely deserve it - if anyone. P.S. I still say fire Tom Coughlin, LOL, their Def. Coordinator will be a head coach very soon, trust that. Battle of the Titans (Microsoft vs. Google II) In case you haven't heard, Microsoft has bid $42 billion to take over Yahoo! Inc. in order to compete with Google as the world's leading search engine and advertising haven. But critics oppose Microsoft's bid, arguing that it'll lead to a Microsoft monopoly...complementing their unethical practices of getting consumers to add many of their products while they only want to add one. According to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, Google owns about 75% of the market and the Microsoft takeover would only enhance competition because it won't be able to eliminate Google. Not yet, at least. Google argues that if/when Microsoft takes over - they will have too much control over the internet and that Microsoft will be able to hinder internet freedom as consumer automatically be directed to adding their e-mail and instant messenger softwares. Yahoo Inc. said that they will closely examine Microsoft's bid. The battle has gotten to serious that Google CEO called Yahoo CEO to try to persuade him not to accept the bid. An interesting twist to this is that last year, Google bought Double Click Inc. for $3.1 billion and Microsoft tried to protest it, deeming Goggle an internet monopoly - it was unsuccessful in the U.S. Best Super Bowl XLII Commercials #8 Who: Audi - "Godfather commercial" Why: The car is very sexy w/ a spook of a classic to compliment.
#7 Who: Bud Light - "Wine and Cheese" Why: Bud Light always brings the heat
(no pun intended for those that saw the "Breathe Fire commercial - it was just OK in my opinion)
#6 Who: Tide - "Talking Stain" Why: Don't Wear Dirty Clothes
#5 Who: Diet Pepsi Max - "What is Love" Why: Hilarious
#4 Who: Planters - Unibrow Hottie
#3 Who: E*Trade - Baby Why: Possibly the Funniest of the Day
#2 Who: E*Trade - BabyII Why: Another funny
#1 Who: Doritos : Rat Trap Why: Another hit
Overall, it was probably a sub-par year in Superbowl Ads and commercials, but it was fun, to see all of the commercials, one by one.
