Hilarious Sarah Palin Gangsta Rap Video Satire

I knew it was inevitable and that it was only a matter of time. Well, here it is: The Sarah Palin Gangsta Rap.

Performed by Heather Anne Campbell as Palin, this video has the Alaska governor and Republican VP rapping about her qualifications for the Vice Presidency of the United States of America. I think this is some funny shit! (Gotta curse a little to sound tragically (or comically)hip and get into the whole gangsta thang)! But I must warn you that the song contains strong language(gasp! nah..really?) so parental neglect is advised. What? Just listen to the thing!

The satire is not exactly gentle with or complimentary of Governor Palin so if you are offended by this in any way, shape or form, feel free to leave a few scathing insults via the comment section. The insults will (more than likely) be published as Lunatica Desnuda is a Fair and Balanced outlet just like Fox News (That's for you Fran).

Jon Stewart Rants About Super Tuesday's Television Coverage-What's With The Rotating 3D Pie Charts And All The Endless Graphics?

The high tech stuff is fine but in my opinion, CNN and the network channels covering the primaries are just overdoing it! Don't get me wrong. I understand that all that "expert" analysis and all the gadgetry and space-age stuff is intended to offer a more thorough dissection of the whole process. But in trying to explain what's going on to the viewers, the so-called experts and pundits sometimes crank out pure, unadulterated jibberish. Overdone hogwash. Numbers and estimates only understood by some secret society of political pundits.And all the techno stuff--flying 3-D pie charts, color-coded graphics, multi-screen set-ups --that looks like the holo deck of the Enterprise. Its the 21st century and I am aware of that most days. But I still think they are going overboard. To me, there is definitely beauty in simplicity. Simplicity dammit!

The Blight of Bigotry That Is Still With Us

South Carolina is a disturbing example of how difficult it is for people of good will to dispose of toxic layers of bigotry. Audience members listen to US Democratic presidential candidates debate in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on Monday.

The political mantra this year is "change." But South Carolina, where the Confederate flag still flies on the grounds of the State Capitol, is a disturbing example of how difficult it is for people of good will to dispose of the toxic layers of bigotry that have accumulated over several long centuries.



On Saturday, in a cold, steady rain, voters turned out for the Republican primary. Nearly all of them -- close to 100 percent -- were white. At a dinner here Saturday night, I was reminded ruefully by one of the guests: "It used to be the Democratic Party that was the white man's party in South Carolina. Now it's the GOP. The black people vote next Saturday."



They still honor Benjamin Tillman down here, which is very much like honoring a malignant tumor. A statue of Tillman, who was known as Pitchfork Ben, is on prominent display outside the statehouse.



Tillman served as governor and US senator in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A mortal enemy of black people, he bragged that he and his followers had disenfranchised "as many as we could," and he publicly defended the murder of blacks.

Hillary and Barack Duke It Out In South Carolina As John (Edwards) Complains in CNN Debate

Jan. 21 - Democratic presidential hopefuls battle it out in a CNN debate.
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama trade jabs as John Edwards criticizes them for wasting the voters' time

Its Huckabee and Obama in Iowa!

Mike Huckabee was propelled to the top, not surprisingly, by the Religious Right. His views on gays and abortion among other issues(homosexuality is a sin and a learned behavior and abortion is a crime) are in sync with the sociopolitical agenda of Religious Conservatives.

Senator Obama's Iowa win came as a result of the support he enjoys among young voters who see him as the harbinger of change in Washington DC. To many, Barack Obama represents a much needed departure from the political establishment, the status quo and the time-honored "politics as usual" practiced in D.C.

What do I think? Being a woman, I like to think that our nation has come a long way, baby. And I am not talking about the old cigarette commercials either. I am talking about the possibility that a woman might become our next commander in chief. To me, it is exciting and exhilarating. Having said that however, I do not believe that Hillary Rodham Clinton represents a significant departure from the "good old boys" club that has controlled Washingtonian politics since forever. She is nevertheless, the best hope the Democrats have of regaining control of the White House. The fact that she's been around the block, so to speak, makes her in the eyes of many people, a more viable presidential candidate and by contrast, gives a neophyte like Obama a definite disadvantage. And staying on Barack Obama, the following question also has to be addressed: Is the United States of America with its not so distant past submerged in the painful, shameful past of institutionalized racism prepared to elect a (gasp!) black president?

I would like to read your opinion America. If you are in Tierra del Fuego or Ulan Bator, what the heck! Let me know what you think too.
