Is an evangelist!
I see playing football at Florida as a ministry and opportunity to share my faith even more. It's a chance to be a missionary without the title. (Tim Tebow)
Oh yeah, he's also coming back for his senior year.

[And, why not?]
Back to the preaching thing, did everybody know this but me? [Read more]
It's good to see Krazee-Eyez Killa branching out. Maybe you've seen his subway ads for the Eye Bank of New York.

Well, I believe I've managed to achieve the slowest roll-out of a top ten list. You know you're in bad shape when you start before everyone else and you're still on number 7 come Christmas.
Therefore, we're going to speed this up a bit. Here are my choices for numbers 6, 5, and 4. (3, 2, and 1 to come)

7. Girl Talk - Feed the Animals

A relative of mine admitted recently that even though he loved the new Girl Talk album, he couldn't help but think of it as cheating. [Read more]
8. Little Joy - Little Joy

You see, what's going on right now is a whole bunch of music critics are currently going through all the '08 releases to try and find the one or two great albums that they might have missed during the year. And, they're probably trying to figure out whether or not the Deerhunter double album, the surface of which they barely scratched, will in a few years from now become revered as a classic album. Quite frankly, I'm open to the possibility that it might be. It's just that I have no real interest spending the last two weeks of the year trying to find out. [Read more]
9. Neon Neon - Stainless Steel

I'm sorry but any outfit who can put out an album that sounds like the music I listened to when I was 8, and make it sound pretty fantastic along the way, deserves to be in the top 10 in this very down year for music. [Read more]
I've been trying for years now to track down the video of the hypothetical 'State of the Union' done by Will Farrell on the eve of the 2000 election, but the best I could ever come up with was a transcript. If you remember, Darrell Hammond also did one where Gore went over homework that he had given out to the different States while sitting in front of a supercomputer.
I suppose now that it's almost all over, NBC finally feels that it's safe to unearth this eerie piece of prophesy that aired on November 3rd, 2000.
Watch it without crying, I dare you...(after the jump) [Read more]
We'll be working our way from 10 down to one.
Oh, by the way, just to introduce myself - I'm prophet and I know the future.
Moving on...

MALE (Reuters) - The ousted president of the Maldives, credited with bringing democracy to the Indian Ocean island resort, said on Wednesday he was forced out of power at gunpoint and urged his successor to step down.
The Maldives on Tuesday installed Vice-President Mohamed Waheed Hassan Manik as president who promptly denied being part of any coup against Mohamed Nasheed after weeks of opposition protests and a mutiny by police.
"Yes, I was forced to resign at gunpoint," Nasheed told reporters after his party meeting a day after his resignation. "There were guns all around me and they told me they wouldn't hesitate to use them if I didn't resign."
He did not elaborate on who held him at gunpoint, but one of his aides told Reuters he had been hustled out by the military.
Show me Santorum! He won Missouri.
And Minnesota, where it was Santorum 44, Paul 27, Mitt 17, Newt 10.
And he's even winning Colorado, which has a fairly large Mormon population.
Rick has won more states (four) than Inevitable Romney (three).
To paraphrase Celine Dion, this will go on.

"My wife is Cuban-American, he's holding a rally at a Hialeah (Fla.) lunch spot, so I thought, 'I'm going to bring a sign about Cuban coffee," Reynolds says. "It was perfect."
So it was -- at least until Romney's staffers saw the poster. Reynolds says he was promptly booted from the event with a staffer telling him: "Romney doesn't drink coffee. It's against his religion."
In 2005, VC investment in clean tech measured in the hundreds of millions of dollars. The following year, it ballooned to $1.75 billion, according to the National Venture Capital Association. By 2008, the year after Doerr’s speech, it had leaped to $4.1 billion. And the federal government followed. Through a mix of loans, subsidies, and tax breaks, it directed roughly $44.5 billion into the sector between late 2009 and late 2011. Avarice, altruism, and policy had aligned to fuel a spectacular boom.
Anyone who has heard the name Solyndra knows how this all panned out. Due to a confluence of factors—including fluctuating silicon prices, newly cheap natural gas, the 2008 financial crisis, China’s ascendant solar industry, and certain technological realities—the clean-tech bubble has burst, leaving us with a traditional energy infrastructure still overwhelmingly reliant on fossil fuels. The fallout has hit almost every niche in the clean-tech sector—wind, biofuels, electric cars, and fuel cells—but none more dramatically than solar.

A federal appeals court in California has upheld a lower court’s ruling that Proposition 8, the state’s ban on gay marriage, is unconstitutional, writing that the law “serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California, and to officially reclassify their relationships and families as inferior to those of opposite-sex couples.”
In a 2-1 decision, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit announced its long-awaited ruling on Tuesday.
