HOT KEYBOARD CAT T-SHIRT Du JOUR

There's no telling how much money I'd spend on something like this...

FACE TIME ON FOX NEWS WITH ANDREW WK

There is no context for this clip, but don't assume that there's any logical reason whatsoever that Andrew WK is an authority on what's morally acceptable... Then again, Fox news is a magical world where it makes perfect sense to consult Andrew WK on such things.

TODD BRATRUD; KING OF THE NARCS

Wether or not you are a blogger for Lords of Apathy or not, I've gotta keep it real here. Todd Bratrud is a fucking narc. Real talk, just the other day homie was GUSHING over how good Late Night with Jimmy Fallon is. Granted, you might think I'm unqualified to judge him considering I have never seen the show before; but the fact that Jimmy 'world's lamest celebrity' Fallon hosts it, I feel completely justified in my ruling. Todd Bratrud, you are found GUILTY of being a 3rd-degree power-narc. May god have mercy on your soul.

RACIST REPUBLICAN FRIDAY: PAT BUCHANAN

Well, it's official ladies and gentlemen... The Republican party has stopped just short of declaring that they are unapologetically the party of narrow-minded 1950's Jim Crow-era racism. You may be thinking, "What's changed?" as far as that's concerned. Well, not a whole lot. I'm just seeing that since Obama got elected, there is increasingly less and less effort being put into their use of nuanced racist codewords or any amount subtlety in their racism. Before the election, they at least talked around it, and made the effort to try and fool people that they weren't the divisive backwards-ass racists that they have always been. It's strange to think that you can site one specific example and say that it is the official turning point as far as this is concerned, however I think this interview in particular, sheds light on exactly what the modern-day Republican party is all about: -'Rich white men uber alles. -fuck everybody else'..."White men were 100% of the people that wrote the Constitution, 100% of the people that signed the Declaration of Independence, 100% of the people who died at Gettysburg and Vicksburg, probably close to 100% of the people who died at Normandy. This has been a country built basically by white folks, who were 90% of the nation in 1960 when I was growing up and the other 10% were African-Americans who had been discriminated against. That's why." -Pat Buchanan on why 108 of 110 Supreme Court justices thus far have been white.

WALTER CRONKITE 1916-2009 REST IN PEACE

Walter Leland Cronkite, Jr., considered by many to be "the most trusted man in America" has died. The announcement came from his family. Most recently 92-year-old Cronkite had been suffering from cerebrovascular disease. Walter Cronkite anchored the CBS Evening News for 19 years, from 1962-1981. He lent his iconic voice to the broadcast in 2006 when Katie Couric began anchoring the program.

DAVID LIEBE HART FRIDAY: FATHER AND SON

Killin it!

CHEATERS; RED-DOT (not Feather) EDITION

There's nothing like a good old-fashioned, family-style, Indian cheater beatdown. Look out for the other family members padding their stats with extra assists, handing homegirl different objects to beat her husband and his boo with. -Really fucking cool.

LETS PAINT; MULTI-TASKING EXTRAVAGANZA

MUSTSEE TV!

Real Talker of the Week: Harry Alford

Harry Alford, President of the National Black Chamber of Commerce, does not believe that Democratic energy policy is creating jobs. California Senator Barbara Boxer disagrees, citing statements by the NAACP and the "100 Black Men of Atlanta" favorable to her position. Alford explodes and real talk ensues. As everyone knows, when you want comments on energy policy, the first places to go are the NAACP and the 100 Black Men of Atlanta. I heard that Boxer was also going to enter statements from Bill Cosby and Tracy McGrady into the record, but thought better of it after Alford went off.

Brooklyn Funk Essentials

I would guess this has been posted on LOA before at one time or another. I probably should know that as i am one of the oldest living contributors to this fine web-log, but i gotta come clean here... i dont look at Lords of Apathy. there. i said it. dont get me wrong, its a good web-log (from what people tell me), i just have better things to do than to actually look at a blog i regularly post on.

That said, this is worth listening to again even IF someone else posted it just yesterday. 

who fucking cares.

good looks Erica

REPUBLICAN SHIL GLENN BECK (OFFICIALLY) LOSES MIND ON AIR

You think you've heard Glenn Beck being a lunatic before... -Dude!; -you have no idea. Peep game:

AND THE WINNER OF THE GOLDEN GLOBES AWARD GOES TO...

RAAAAAAAANDY!!!

UKRAINIAN IDOL

These guys really know how to party.

RIP Arturo Gatti

Arturo Gatti was strangled to death in his sleep by his stripper wife. Gatti's fights against Micky Ward were brutal epics that will always be remembered by anyone who saw them. After splitting a pair of bouts, Gatti and Ward had a final showdown in 2003 in which Gatti broke his hand in the fourth round but came back to win. I was so stoked after the fight that I hopped in my Camero and cruised Harlem Avenue with the Italian flag out the window. Real talk for a second, this is a rare celebrity death that actually made me sad. It also drives the nail in the coffin of my interest in boxing as Gatti's death reminds me that today's boxers are boring as hell.

On a related topic, does anyone have any stories where dating a stripper in a long-term relationship turned out well? Don't they usually just steal your money/drugs/car or give you an STD?

HORRIBLE RAP MONDAY: THE YOUNG CONS

Who would have thought thought that 2 dorky christian, republican, white guys could manage to suck this ferociously at rapping? Negative 9 mics

VALERIE: AMY WINEHOUSE

Hopefully she stay's alive long enough to record more heaters like this one.

CHIP THE BLACK BOY

Sometimes, certain things are impossibly perfect. David Liebe Hart is a living god.

STRANGER IN MOSCOW

M.J.'s catalog of songs is fucking sick. I've been really digging this one since he passed away. I'll spare you all the sappy nostalgia, but real talk, the man brought an incalculable amount of joy to the world.

RIP AIR McNAIR

A belated Rest in Peace goes out to my man Steve McNair. My sincere apoligies on that, we were all booked up on celebrity mourning last week.

Thursday Caption Contest

Don't let me down, LOA.

UPDATE:

I gotta start hanging out at more G8 summits.

TAKE THE SARAH PALIN CHALLENGE!

Fuuuuck.... This in the most retarded, convoluted, incoherent, rambling groupings of words ever assembled. Originally, I was going to challenge our viewers on making heads or tails of what the hell Sarah Palin's talking about in this speech; but since that is clearly not possible, I've downgraded the challenge to actually just listening the whole thing without your brain exploding. Let me know how long you're able to hold out in the comments section below.
