Republican senator John Warner of Virginia has announced that he is retiring and won’t seek re-election<\/a>. I wonder if that has anything to do with his recent comments about Iraq. Here’s him trying to clarify\/backtrack\/whatever<\/a> – maybe that wasn’t good enough.<\/p>\n

White House Spokesman Tony Snow is resigning in September – “I feel terrific. It’s not a health matter. It’s purely financial.” I’ve told people when my money runs out, then I’ve got to go.” Only $168,000 a year<\/a> just ain’t enough to sling the snow-jobs. He’s gonna hit the lecture circuit. <\/p>\n

Lots of buzz about who might replace Gonzales as Attorney General. I sure hope they are wrong about Michael Chertoff being top choice. I don’t see that he’s done so much for the common good in any of this previous positions<\/a>.

The track, “Drums of War” featuring Big Swagg, Mr. Cox and yours truly can be downloaded at http:\/\/www.hiphopstrikesback.com <\/a>. <\/p>\n

Let this be the song that sparks the revolution! The Left\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s new anthem that makes the Right shake in their boots! The song that will bring about a wave of social equality that….<\/p>\n

OK, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll settle for making Bill O\u00e2\u20ac\u2122Reilly have nightmares about a bunch of “gangsta rappers” bum rushin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 the No Spin Zone, tying him up and forcing him to watch 48 uninterrupted hours of Black Entertainment Television…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
