, Racist Hot 97 Skit Mocking Tsunami Victims
(hiphopmusic.com blog)
For the last week Hot 97 has been running a hideously unfunny and offensive skit named "Tsunami Song," that ridicules the victims of the Tsunami as "ch*nks" whose children will now be sold into child slavery.

(I'm not one who believes that blogging (in general) is journalism, but blogger Jay Smooth's blow-by-blow coverage of this ugly on-air garbage has all the elements of news reporting. His posts have generated thousands of comments. The song, btw, is horrible; some of the most mean-spirited sh*t I've heard on regular radio, made all the worst by the involvement of some Black on-air personalities. They should know better, you'd think. )

, Record oil prices spur Exxon Mobil profit higher
(Money/CNN)
Exxon Mobil Corp., the world's largest publicly traded oil company, said Monday quarterly profit rose, driven by lofty crude oil and natural gas prices...net income in the fourth quarter rose to $8.42 billion.

(Let's see how my simple mind works: a war breaks out based on unconfirmed conclusions. As a result of this war, oil prices soar to record heights. A small cabal of oil businessmen profit wildly. Hmmm. They were right when they said it's not about the oil. It's all about the benjamins. A whole lot of benjamins.)
