Rizzap Throwback: 8 Off "Ghetto Girl"
Dude is a real life "Weird Science" experiment that combines Ill Al Skratch, Bert from Sesame Street and an eight ball of coke. Anyone who asks the question "is it possible to be too hype?" should be shown this video. Your boy ups the Harlem Shake to the Harlem Parkinsons. Fuck, bro, relax. We're just dancing in the park here. It's not that serious.
AMERICAN HERO: TIM DeCHRISTOPHER
Here's yet another reminder of how truly fucked up this country is. Not many people have the balls to trade years in prison for standing up for what you believe in. You GO boy!
Climate Activist Tim DeChristopher Given Two-Year Sentence For Derailing Bush Oil Auction.
In the waning days of the Bush presidency, an auction of 130,000 acres of pristine Utah lands near national parks was organized by the Bureau of Land Management as a last-minute gift to the oil and gas industry. The auction was disrupted by climate activist Tim DeChristopher, then a 27-year-old economics student, who successfully bid for $1.7 million in parcels. Although the Bush leasing plan was found in court to be flawed and has been withdrawn, today DeChristopher was sentenced to two years in federal prison, fined $10,000 for his act of civil disobedience, and taken immediately into custody. At the sentencing, DeChristopher — a native of West Virginia, where coal companies rule supreme — explained why he was willing to take on the government and the fossil fuel industry, risking a prison sentence that could have been as long as ten years: I actually have great respect for the rule of law, because I see what happens when it doesn’t exist, as is the case with the fossil fuel industry. The federal prosecutor, Assistant U.S. Attorney John Huber, sought a stiff sentence against DeChristopher “‘to afford adequate deterrence to criminal conduct’ by others,” because “the rule of law is the bedrock of our civilized society, not acts of ‘civil disobedience’ committed in the name of the cause of the day.” “The people who are committed to fighting for a livable future will not be discouraged or intimidated by anything that happens here today,” DeChristopher responded in his 35-minute address. “And neither will I.”

THE 'WU' IS COMIN THRU (IN A TIGER SUIT. TO SEXUALLY ASSULT YOUR DAUGHTER)
The decision by Wu, 56, not to seek an eighth term, came as Nancy Pelosi, the top-ranking Democrat in the House of Representatives, referred the matter to the House Ethics Committee and pressure mounted for him to resign. Beyond saying that Wu, the first Chinese-American elected to the House, will not run in 2012, his press secretary, Erik Dorey, declined to comment. Wu publicly acknowledged earlier this year that he was undergoing psychiatric treatment after his staff complained of erratic behavior, including his e-mailing of a picture of himself dressed in a tiger costume. "Recent press reports and statements attributed to our colleague, Representative David Wu, indicate he may have engaged in inappropriate activities," Pelosi wrote in a two-sentence letter to the ethics panel. "An investigation by the Ethics Committee to determine if rules of the House of Representatives have been violated is warranted," it said. In response to media reports that the daughter of an old high school friend and campaign donor had accused him of misconduct, Wu himself issued a statement over the weekend calling the allegation against him "very serious." "I have absolutely no desire to bring unwanted publicity, attention or stress to a young woman and her family," he added. NO CONFIDENCE VOTE EXPECTED. The Portland Oregonian newspaper reported that Wu's accuser is from Orange County, California, and graduated from high school in 2010. It said the alleged encounter occurred around Thanksgiving of last year when the woman was 18. The newspaper said several of Wu's staff earlier this year listened to a distraught voice mail left by the woman, accusing Wu of aggressive and unwanted sexual advances. Details of the alleged encounter have not been disclosed. Local party officials said the allegation amounted to the last straw for a politician whose career has been marked by a number of instances of questionable behavior. "Many people in the 1st Congressional district and in Washington County are very upset with him and want to see him resign," said Mike Bohan, Democratic chairman in Wu's district. "It is hard to picture how he can be an effective congressman." Democrats in Washington County were expected to hold a "no confidence" vote on Wu on Wednesday. County Democratic Party chairwoman Karen Packer expected it will pass. "The prevailing feeling among members is that Wu should resign," she said. In 2007, Wu raised eyebrows with a speech on the House floor comparing Bush administration officials to members of a fictional alien race on "Star Trek," saying, "There are Klingons in the White House" sending "real Americans to war." His conduct also came under scrutiny after the Oregonian reported he had delivered an angry, ranting speech to supporters in his home district in late 2010. Two days later, according to the paper, Wu talked his way past airport security to the arrival gate to pick up his two children, and then began to campaign there. Several of his staff members resigned following the 2010 election, citing what they believed was bizarre behavior.
At the time he said, "I sincerely regret some of the things I said and did" and promised to "manage stress more appropriately going forward" with the help of medication and counseling.

REAL TALKER DuMONTH: CENK UYGUR
I was bummed when I started hearing that Cenk was no longer going to be hosting the 6PM news slot on MSNBC. If you never watched his show, Cenk's area of expertise is ripping motherfuckers in Washington DC new assholes; -not the least of which is president Barack Obama. In the process of doing so, he would connect the dots in explaining the daily horror show that is American politics. Watch as he explains to us how the American newsmedia works, and why realtalk is kryptonite to the establishment.
Watch Cenk on his own show The Young Turks for your daily dose of realtalk. This dude bleeds and shits integrity.

REST IN PEACE AMY WINEHOUSE
It's not like we couldn't see this one coming 10 miles away, but nevertheless, this is still a tragedy. I'm a big fan of A-Dubs' and was super bummed when I heard that 20% of the mucisians making good contemporary R&B died the other day. She was as talented as she was fucked up, and given the occasion for this post, I'd say that's a resounding compliment. Rest in Peace Amy Winehouse.

TOTALLY SHIT-FACED...(LITERALLY)
BEHOLD! LOA's 2011 Man of the Year, Luke Chrisco! I don't care if it's only July, this dude has it locked up!
BOULDER, Colo. -- The man dubbed the "Porta-Potty Peeper" says he spied on at least 200 women in Boulder and hundreds more across the U.S. and Europe. Luke Chrisco was arrested Thursday in Vail for hiding out in a portable toilet in Boulder to watch women at a yoga festival. "I am like a hunter, a man watching a bird, " Chrisco told FOX31's Jim Hooley in an interview at the Eagle County Detention where he is being held after his arrest this week. "I would see women on the street and just bow down to them, " Chrisco said. He says his favorite places to peep were restaurants in downtown Boulder and along the Pearl Street Mall. "I would go into stalls that were dark, away from cameras," the 30-year-old admitted. Chrisco says one of his favorite places was the women's restroom at the Boulder Target. "I'm a young guy, I don't look threatening. I would come out of the women's room and someone would say 'what are you doing?' and I would just walk away." Chrisco has shared his list of places he peeped with Boulder Police. Detectives have visited the businesses, warning them of possible peepholes. "Our detectives have found peepholes. We don't know whether Chrisco drilled them or if they were existing peepholes," Kim Kobel from Boulder Police explained. Chrisco is being held in Eagle County on a $1,000 bond. He faces charges of unlawful sexual contact.

LOCKOUT
The NBA locked out its players this week. Most of my day is spent reading and talking about basketball, so I'm sure this will be the most productive period of my life. Since Friday morning, I read some books, mixed down my demo tape, learned Mandarin and prestiged 4 times in Black Ops. With all of this extra time on my hands, I think I'll launch that airbrushed tee business I've always talked about. That David Stern joint was a 1 of 1, so please don't ask if I can make any more.
