Will.I.Am. is in love with Cheryl Cole more than Ashley Cole. He is willing to give her some of his best hits that would have sounded better with Fergie’s voice and now he is taking her on tour around the UK. Yes, Cheryl Cole will open for the Black Eyed Peas following their most successful year ever. Reuters has announced that the Girls Aloud singer will open for the BEP. Also, in more Cheryl Cole news that doesn’t involve infidelity, she reportedly has been offered a good 2.2 million deal to co-judge the American version of the X-Factor with buddy Simon Cowell.

Congratulations to the US for the passing of the healthcare bill that would protect everyone in the US and not just those who can afford it. It’s a great day for everyone and a commemorative one to the people who had suffered the shackles of a capitalist-driven health system. This reform was necessary and also and indication that socialism is not a bad thing after all.

Following the popping up of many internet and gaming rehabilitation centers in China and a few other places, the US is the latest to find a niche market for people who are addicted to their computers. The center is called reStart and it’s an internet addiction recovery program. You can check the symptoms here on their website. It will set you back $15,500 for a 45-day program. I am considering going, but was wondering if they have Wi-Fi.

Is the US to blame for Iran unrest?

Neda_Agha-Soltan

The dire situation in Iran looks like it’s not going to end anytime soon. Following Neda Soltani’s graphic death and many more violent outbursts in the streets of Tehran, the people still seem adamant on getting their votes counted and counted correctly. As we see with revolutions, there has to be a valid and clear reason for people to stand up against a tyrannic government. When you’ve lost all hope and take to the streets that’s when it all happens. But, the media is portraying this as a purely domestic issue and world leaders are not addressing the issue because they fear their words would skew the train of the thought in the Iranian streets. But, in actuality, this issue is an international one and had former world leaders not interfered in Iranian affairs this wouldn’t all be happening.

Yes, this is for real everyone. The U.S. Senate just passed an actual apology for slavery. The statement is that the United States of America “acknowledges the fundamental injustice, cruelty, brutality and inhumanity of slavery, and Jim Crow laws.”

Oh, really? Now! That’s good to know. Maybe, The Autobiography Of Miss Jane Pittman was on HBO or something. This should have been issued decades ago. Actually, not just issued but delivered by a president and then made a national mourning day for all the people that watched their family members die because they picked up a book. Horrid.

Conservatives are going ape

This came at a right time after I went to the National History Museum solely to visit Darwin’s statue and say hi. They won’t budge because they want their constituencies to keep voting for them, even when science proves otherwise. The conservative agenda won’t settle for fact and would rather follow some myth. This is why they are about to face popular extinction. I like the last Mount Rushmore comment.
