The Best Endorsement Of Obama, From Snoop Dogg (Lion?)

Basically, yeah. Snoop puts it about right, with some F-bombs. George W. Bush really really messed up America. He took Republican craziness to its logical extreme and got the country in two wars, raised the debt and crashed the economy. Basically, he broke everything. It’s taking Obama a while to clean it up, and the Republicans aren’t helping.

It’s funny watching American politics from here. It seems like half of the country is just crazy, but it’s still the most interesting political sport around. What’s strangest is watching the Republican party descend into sheer, destructive madness. When I was young Republicans were kinda evil, but smart. Now there’s just evil and dumb.

I’ve been watching Real Time With Bill Maher and when he has all ‘liberal’ guests on they have rational conversations and it seems like problems can be solved. When he has ‘conservatives’, however, they simply don’t live in the same universe of facts. It’s like the premises are just not the same. For many Republicans, the ideology seems to warp reality – tax cuts for the rich are always necessary, supply-side economics works (despite being tried and failing multiple times), contraception is bad, government health care is evil, and this is all a slippery slope towards the Anti-Christ. Oh, and war is fun and easy and torture is fine. It’s just madness.

But anyways, go Snoop Lion, and Obama.

Obama, the first affirmative action nigger president of the United States, the worst of the US presidents ever, worse than Jimmy Carter, is going to loose this time. Blacks belong to the gutter, nowhere else.

^ Quality human being right here.

“but it’s still the most interesting political sport around.” – agreed, and Bill Maher is awesome.

tastyjujubes: A Muslim is someone who follows Islam, yes? Islam teaches that all non-Muslims will burn in hell for eternity yes? So if one were to say that Muslims believe that all non-Muslims will burn in hell for eternity, would that be wrong?

Gorogoro: Yes there is diversity, but unfortunately the extremists and the fundamentalists among the Muslims seem to have a free reign. You can certainly make some generalizations when the ideology being followed is one and the same and is based...

Monolithic Islam

Mohsin Hamid, author of How To Get Filthy Rich In Rising Asia, has a nice op-ed in the Guardian. Money quote for me was ‘Individuals are undeniably real. Groups, on the other hand, are assertions of opinion’. If you go buy news reports Muslims or Jews or Sri Lankans or any number of groups can appear monolithic and uniform. When you meet people, however, you find that they’re not. If you meet enough people you hopefully become aware of that tendency and judge people less by group identity in advance. Muslims, however, are quite publicly tarred with the same brush these days, and it really isn’t fair. Or accurate.

40 Under 40

I’m happy to be featured in Echelon magazine’s 40 Under 40 feature, profiling young people who contribute to the economy in some way, mainly in business but also in terms of innovation and thought leadership. It’s an interesting article not just in that I’m in it (mainly for work on indi.ca and Kottu but also YAMU) but also in that the magazine takes a bit of a critical stance. It’s worth reading the editorial (which I can only find in print) where they describe that only a few women are included and that all of the 40 are from middle to upper middle class backgrounds.

Chi Chi Hits The Scene, And A Referee

I won’t add too much commentary, but just read I guess. The youngest Rajapaksa, Rohitha (Chi Chi) has given an amazing interview to the Daily Mirror Life section, which is well worth a read. In other news, he also recently slapped a referee around in full public view at a rugby match. At least it seems that his elder brother restrained him.

Anti-Social Marketing (Nibras Bawa)

In 2009 this strange character appeared on the Sri Lankan Internet scene, getting angry, flaming, trolling whatever. Then he started naming anonymous bloggers, posting comments as people’s kids, nasty stuff, for which I removed him from Kottu. He also published some plagiarized stuff on Groundviews. He flamed out a bit more then disappeared. Until now. Now he’s back hosting a rather expensive social media event in Colombo, which is a bit ironic, seeing as he was known for being the most anti-social person the blogosphere had seen at the time.
