no i mean balls of steel.

Why? Because he tells a bold-faced lie on national TV and makes a mockery of a program broadcast to HELP people?

Yeah, that's balls of steel alright

WTF does that have to do with it anyways?

Kanye West made an ass of himself on NBC and it was hilarious to see his ass getting BOOED big time when he performed for the NFL opener.

Just another "celebrity" who ought to be down in LA/MS/AL helping with the relief of "their people" instead of playing the race card to a bunch of TV cameras.

Black is a state of mind, so that is up for debate.

thats cause they hate black people

is that right?

oh and your boy Kanye didnt say anything about poor job. he said Bush hates black people

get it right

I don't think Bush hates black people. First President to not speak at the NAACP convention in a first term, but doesn't hate.

Oh, and I don't know much about West. I like the golddigger song.

Can't stand the @sswipe Bush though.

... when someone calls Clinton a name like that, please dont get upset.

the difference is his audience believes that, or is inclined in that direction. this is in contrast to the dixie chicks. so this shouldn't be a surprise. moreover, it should have increased his sales, making up for his lack of street cred. of course, i doubt he'll be on network TV anymore. I was surprised he was on the second benefit concert and the NFL after the stunt he pulled.

By "most of us" you mean far less than half of the country?

Clinton's gone and I don't mind. Clinton was 100X the President that Bush was. The GOP party of the past is trashed by neoconservative PNAC types who spend like drunken whores. He's an @sswipe and deserves to be called one.

Freedom of speech are the key words here. Just like a lot of clowns up here get to say what they want and think. Kanye West deserves that same right. Right or wrong this is America. _ _ _ _ Bush!

Would you like a pretzel for a late night snack?

Everything I've said is true (well, Clinton might not be 100X what Bush is...but close). The GOP party of the past (smaller government, less spending, less intrusive) have been butchered by the neoconservative movement with people like Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield, Bolton and Wolfowitz. A bunch of PNAC @ssholes!

Late Registration is good, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a classic like College Dropout... the production is masterful, but lyrics are hit or miss (subpar).

As far as his comments, opinions are like a.holes... to say that Bush doesn't care for blacks is a pretty general statement, but there is no disputing that his response was 3 days too late.
