"We still can't find those 'W.M.D.'..."
And more humor from today's edition of the amNewYork newspaper:
"We still can't find those 'W.M.D.'... "W's Military Documents'..."
Who is this ass-clown John Warner in the US Senate? OK that's not exactly a reasoned, well thought out assessment of him but he sure sounded like an ass-clown on Larry King Live last night (along with Condi Rice) still touting the possiblity of finding WMD in Iraq after even Dick Cheney has shut his mouth about that likelihood. As for Rice, I hope isn't really thinking of running for political office in the future as rumored because, based on her appearance last night and yesterday morning on the Today show, she is not built for this... at all.

People were feeling Sasha Frere-Jones's breakdown of the Virginia Beach sound created by The Neptunes and Timbaland in The New York Times Magazine from last weekend? Son has been doing this for years. Check out his piece on Timbaland in "Up Jumps Da Meme" from four years ago in the Village Voice. Bodes well for his rumored forthcoming book on music (or maybe just hip hop?) producers.
