The Jay Z medley on Saturday Night Live included bits from the following songs:
“On To The Next One,” “Public Service Announcement,” “99 Problems,” “03 Bonnie & Clyde” ending with “Empire State of Mind” with Bridget Kelly [edit: not Alicia Keys].
Great stuff…enjoy the video.
Update: Here’s an HD version of Jay’s 2nd performance on Saturday Night Live – Forever Young with Mr. Hudson – a tribute to Betty White.
I’m really hoping this CNN poll glitched out and 60+% of Americans don’t still think offshore drilling is a good idea.
This BccList.com posting from September 2008 is getting about 500-1000 hits per day since the oil rig collapse:
I wonder if this clip will impact the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell debate.
Side note: Had never heard this song but it is sort of catchy.
Side note 2: These guys were drunk, right?!?
Huffington Post and MSNBC TV, thank you.
Bruce Feldman at ESPN: “If ND could land Manti Te’o in a snowstorm, Irish recruiting can survive this.”
I’m not sure who Freekbass is but this is a monstrosity…
I was indifferent towards LeBron James until this clip. Now I hope he never wins a ring. Though, the odds of that happening aren’t good…at all.
The Big Lead, thank you.
Mascots make me smile for some reason.
Q: WTF is this?
A: A recipe for disaster in front of 10,000+ kids.
The Big Lead, thank you.
P.S. Looks like “Bango” owes “Squatch” some royalties…

Aside from the mug shot, here are some highlights from the NBC New York writeup…
When two officers arrived, they found the two small boys walking in the woods on the south side of Flatbrook Road near a stream. The boys were wearing no clothing other than their diapers and they were freezing cold, police said.
Root, who is wearing the t-shirt that reads “I Love Weed” in her mug shot, was heavily under the influence of prescription pain medication, police said.
Barstool Sports – New York, thank you.
“Huge. Quickly. Alright, Bye.”
I actually like the original Nike ad…Earl Wood voiceover.
But, whoever made this ad parody is fcking awesome…
UPDATE:
Here is a roundup of more Tiger and Earl Nike ad parodies:
Along with a Neil Diamond performance, the Red Sox pulled out all the stops last night with Joshua Sacco – a 5 year old – nailing Herb Brooks’ “Miracle” speech.
This kid almost makes me somehow like the Boston Red Sox…for a night.
Angela, thank you.
If it’s good for the country, it’s good for him.
Specifically, Obama said during the 2008 campaign if offshore drilling will help lower energy costs, he would support it. So, go ahead and send this blog posting to all your liberal/conservative friends that think Obama has shifted positions with today’s support of offshore drilling.
From the 2008 campaign trail…

More importantly, Obama has now forced republicans to support an upcoming climate bill that will lower carbon emissions across the board. As mentioned here, there aren’t too many GOP Senators that want to be labeled as the republican that didn’t support offshore drilling.
This BccList.com posting from September 2008 explains my offshore drilling beliefs.
A few years ago I mentioned on BccList.com that investors should consider buying Ford stock. If you heeded to my advice, please paypal 10% of your earnings so that I can retire.

I’m back. This time I’m speculating – and it’s solely my point of view – that shorting coal stocks is a good idea. Specifically, a few of the largest coal manufacturer stocks such as ARLP, ANR, ACI, etc. Why?
Obama backed offshore drilling earlier today – link – in order to force republicans to vote for an upcoming climate bill. Why force? There’s no republican that wants to be known as the Senator who didn’t vote for offshore drilling. The climate bill’s sole intention will be to reduce the United States’ carbon emissions. The largest source of carbon emissions = coal companies. With a few republican votes, a bill will pass. Great politicking by the administration.
As of 3/31/2010, Arch Coal (ACI) is trading at $23 a share, Alpha Natural Resources (ANR) is trading at $50 a share, and Alliance Resource Partner (ARLP) is trading at $42 a share. I expect at least a 10% drop from these prices within a year AFTER the climate bill passing. You can paypal me (eventually after the bill passes) at bcclistblog@gmail.com – hahaha.
The Obama administration loves taking their time…chilling…as the right takes political jab after jab after jab. Is the administration unknowing that these tactics – as disgusting as they are – work really well? Yup…
So, here’s what the administration has still not addressed effectively. Hopefully they’ll get these points across in the upcoming healthcare reform tour but it doesn’t matter…the right has already convinced the sheep the bill is evil.
Healthcare Reform Clarifications:
Stay tuned…I’ll undoubtedly be adding to this list as the talking points continue to get spewed by the right and the administration does nothing to discredit their garbage.
