If the NHL Playoffs are being played in the US, and no sane being hears it, does it still make a sound?

Lord Palmerston, LBJ, Devils, Obama, Ric Flair. Only several degrees of separation
It's been a long month. Sorry for the absence. I thought I'd drop by briefly and let you know whats on my mind....
2 Lord Palmerston References in Two days. Coincidence? I think not. Yes, there is the token Wall Street Journal article criticizing Obama's foreign policy. I mean... he has illustrated many strengths in dealing with the international community. If by strength one was to mean weakness, incompetence, and unamericanism. I wish we could go back to the good old days of enhanced interrogation techniques, which allowed for placing suspected terrorists into confined spaces with stinging insects, as long as you informed them that the stings were not lethal.
While a legitimate newspaper like the Journal referenced Palmerston, I was surprised when a liberal propaganda tool also referenced Palmerston's views that nations have no permanent friends, just permanent interests. Of course, they were not referring to the strategy of Obamania, but rather the statesmanship of LBJ. Oh yea and how about those devils sucking in OT. They better not go down 2-1 this sunday at Carolina, current home of Ric Flair.

Brilliance...
Well it has been some time since i graced these hallowed halls with my brilliance. There is a good reason for that, I myself am doing my part in helping America recover. Unlike some correspo...others i wake up each morning and put in a 'hard days' effort at the office. Now i am not trying to consume you with petty differences but rather unite us with common interests. So let us move on from this dark period.
Since we all enjoy a good laugh and can always use a smile, I thought I'd share with you some of my favorite music videos of all time. Now i am not talking about the MTV when they showed videos, video here, but the unknown. These videos, probably never saw the light of day on MTV, and the world is a worse place because of it. Instead of showing garbage they should have been showing these works. The following videos are ones I have found perchance or been lucky enough to have shared with me by other geniuses.
So stop take a few moments and enjoy these pieces of true art.
Blazin Squad - Tha Crossroads
Tha Crossroads, hmm surely means the classic work of Bone Thugs N' Harmony. Well you are partially correct. So pat yourself on the back. But now prepare to have your mind blown. As a youth growing up on the mean suburb streets, I could obviously understand what the Bone was singing/rapping (has it ever been decided) about. But across the pond, there were 10 young men who not only understand what these 5 men from Cleveland Ohio, USA talking about. They were so inspired that they created their own version of BTNH's hard work on their album. Not only did they do this, but thanks to some divine inspiration it was chosen to be there lead single and thus the world has become a better place because of their video. I am sure Krayzie was less than thrilled, but he got paid so he recommends this video as well. So please sit back and prepare to be amazed.
Claude François - Cett Année La/Yannick - Ces Soirées-là
There are few countries i find less interesting and pointless than France. Cool they gave us a national symbol (Everyone knows this was given to show their gratitude for what we had given their country). But come on what has that country ever really given the world? They needed our revolution to occur, before having the courage to attempt their own (Why we deserved their previosuly mentioned gift). We had to bail them out. If this wasn't enough, we had to go fix another mess, becuase they couldn't. So basically France has a massive debt to us. Now i must say they have been trying to repay us. It is not a coincedence that one of the greatest video games of all time is set in France, just some payback. The following videos are two examples of more said payback. However these works hardly count as payback, since the Frogs needed American inpsiration to guide them once again. Nevertheless any video that uses the jumping jack as a dance move or disco moves in the 21st century works for me.
There you go, 3 brilliant music videos, that scream entertainment. I hope you enjoy them.
This weeks Movie of the Week is in honor of the 39th anniversary of this event. What other movie could have sparked interest in this place?

UNC wins Title: Tyler Hansborough loses Relevancy
Another day .. and another lack of a scintilla of credulous authorship from my American and Russian counterparts: could it be that they have already abandoned their virtual baby? The coupling of Russo-American relations has never faired well, but all is well folks, as I attempt to squeeze out and lather on some literary ointment onto the insensitivies my ethnic co-authors have displayed this past week or so.. Let us exercise patience and forgive their imprudence though. Their salvo is surely in the works.
Onto a more relevant issue of irrelevancy. So the followers of college basketball must know by now the utter and abysmal conquest of UNC over MSU in Monday's confusion of a basketball game. I was confused by the score within the first 3:30 minutes (17-7), why millions of educated Americans prefer college basketball over the NBA, why Hasheem Thabeet was in attendence by himself (Too tall to have UCONN Bball friends? Too Cool for School?), why Larry Bird and Magic Johnson still look the same as they did 10 years ago (The Curious Case of LB and MJ?), why Magic Johnson still seems as healthy as ever (Did they find a cure for HIV under my own knowledge-sleuth of a nose? So thats how he got his nickname...), as I finally switched off the TV, and the American media and public switched off Tyler Hansborough from their lives. Its true, the over-lionized Media darling of yester-years has finally ceased to rub his face into my TV screen every March for the last 3years. Sorry Tyler, I know its not your fault, but les move on...

Weeds
So ... ... given the dearth of materials provided by the other "authors" of this blog, I thought I'd contribute some news to placate the palates of the audience (?)out there.
To provide fodder for my prolific stoner friends, a recent article by Times.com has brought to my attention the validity of the arguments for the legalization of marjuana, especially in light of the recent economic recession. If perchance you are overcome with such lethargy (you lazy Amer...) to spend a productive minute reading the contrarian views linked above, the general gist is as follows, as excerpted:
"We spend about $150 billion on policing and courts, and 47.5% of all arrests are marijuana-related. That is an awful lot of money, most of it nonfederal, that could be spent on better schools or infrastructure — or simply returned to the public."
So the resolution to our economic demise, can be in fact, to smoke our way to an economic ... high - pardon the pun - but I must say... GENIUS
Of all the creative intellects the US has created as a product of this mental nourishment, the great American artiste, Sean Penn, in perhaps his greatest work, shows us all the mertis of this artistic vegetation
To keep this asian relevant, here's a thai elephant, that paints:
He was prob high.
