| When Did Cam’ron Become The “Voice of Hip-Hop?”
Ben Chavis (Who should change from Dr. to Rev. with his preaching), Kevin Liles (Who cares about your rise from intern to President? Thats not the issue) and Common (Even he had his misses). Now, 60 Minutes did a profile on the Stop Snitching epidemic which has been custom in inner-city neighborhoods for decades, but has exploded in recent years with its commercialization thru song and clothing. Who did 60 Minutes look for to talk about Stop Snitching? None other than the Albert Einstein of Hip-Hop, Camron. Whatever happened to publicists? I guess Jim Jones is preparing Killa for interviews. If you thought theres a witch hunt against Hip-Hop, your probably right? But in defense of the so-called art and poets like Russ would say are a bunch of fools. The worst legal defense team you can have.

Snow snarls North Texas roads more on its way
The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning for North Texas Thursday, particularly for areas along and north of Interstate 20. The winter storm warning is in effect until 6 a.m. Friday. "Theres another shot of cold air coming with a powerful upper-level trough right over North Texas," said Jennifer Dunn, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Fort Worth. The conditions should persist through Friday morning, Dunn said. With Fridays daytime high temperature topping out around 40 degrees, those areas that received the heaviest snowfall should see the snow stick around through the day. It could reach the mid-40s in portions of the Metroplex. Cloud cover should clear out Friday afternoon and evening, leading to a freezing Friday night in the mid-20s.

Feb. 14, 1929: Al Capone's .45 Caliber Valentine
1929: The art of the gangland slaying takes a quantum leap when mobsters working for Al Capone use the cutting-edge technology of the day -- the Thompson submachine gun -- to wipe out a rival gang in a garage on Chicago's North Side. The St. Valentine's Day massacre wasn't the first time a mobster used the Tommy gun in a rub-out, but the slaughter -- seven men were killed -- was unprecedented and therefore shocking, even by jaded Chicago standards. The massacre was ordered by Capone to wipe out George "Bugs" Moran and his North Side Gang, which was muscling in on Capone's bootlegging operations. The plan was to lure Moran and as many of his men as possible to a garage at 2122 North Clark Street and take care of business there. Although a shipment of smuggled alcohol is usually given as the bait used, what actually brought Moran's men there that night remains unclear.

Will 'Amnesty' Sink McCain?
The perennial controversy over what to call McCain's amnesty is silly. Every program in the world that has allowed illegal immigrants to stay has been called an "amnesty." McCain himself called it "amnesty" as recently as May 2003, when he told the Tucson Citizen "I think we can set up a program where amnesty is extended to a certain number of people who are eligible … Amnesty has to be an important part ..." But once the focus-group results were in, "amnesty" became a four-letter word. ...[snip] Real Straight Talk would be to say "Sure, it's an amnesty, but we don't really have any choice" ... P.S.: The McCain, post-focus-group argument is that it can't be "amnesty" if it has some requirements--e.g., to pay a fine, learn English, etc. But it turns out that Ronald Reagan's 1986 "comprehensive" reform, which he and everyone else called an "amnesty," had requirements too, including payment of fees.

The Visionary
As I said, it is differentbut we will have advertising campaigns, TV commercials, people talking on TV to explain our program. We will use modern methods for campaign. I do not want to call them western, they are international [methods]. Do you think the National Front for Change represents a real threat to the NDP in the parliamentary race?This is an internal issue for opposition parties whether to run individually or form a coalition. It is up to them. This is not going to affect or change any of our plans. As I said we are taking these elections seriously and we are going to work very hard to win every seat. I do not really have to comment on what they [opposition parties] are doing. I will be happy to see more opposition members in the parliament and I will be happier to see the NDP maintaining a majority in parliament.
Heat's Riley to leave team to scout lottery picks
The buck stops with me when we won the championship, it stops with me when I have the worst team in the league," he said.
Considering Kansas State forward Michael Beasley and Memphis point guard Derrick Rose stand at the top of the lottery board, the Big 12 tournament in Kansas City, which runs March 13-16, and the Conference USA tournament in Memphis, March 12-15, figure to be on Riley's wish list.
"If I can scoot off and see some of these guys, that's what I'm going to do," he said, declining to name the prospects he would scout because of league rules regarding underclassmen.
Guard Dwyane Wade, the team's most recent lottery pick, said he respected the move.
"No question," he said. "It's no secret we're going to have a lot of balls in the lottery this summer.
