Ed McMahon was the consumate good sport in a town where those are few and far between, willing to play the sidekick role in a place where everyone wants to be #1. Here’s a good video of him on MSNBC.

The original gangsta rapper and Philly native turns 43 today.

Found this little gem on Youtube. If you wanna see the place I wrote about this week in the Metro, be sure to check this short video out. Alright, well have a great weekend everybody! And Go Phils (We better take this series.)

The DOC, who turns 41 today, burst onto the hip hop scene in 1989 with the Dr. Dre-produced album No One Can Do It Better. Allmusic gave it a 5 star rating and it looked like he was going to be a major rap superstar. But shortly after the album was released, he was involved in a car accident and shattered his larynx. His rap career was ruined, and he has since stayed behind the scenes, ghostwriting songs for Dr. Dre. Here is an interview done with the DOC a few months ago.

So how will El be celebrating his 48th? Probably with cake and ice cream, if they allow that kind of thing in prison.

Here’s the latest quiz I did for Comcast: Dr. Dre, Dr. Phil, or Dr. Evil. It’s kind of tough.

Hope everyone has a safe and wonderful holiday, and we’ll see ya back here on Tuesday.

The person who wrote the following turns 67 today. See if you can guess who it was in the comments (no cheating!)
Leftists tend to hate anything that has an image of being strong, good and successful. They hate America, they hate Western civilization, they hate white males, they hate rationality. The reasons that leftists give for hating the West, etc. clearly do not correspond with their real motives. They SAY they hate the West because it is warlike, imperialistic, sexist, ethnocentric and so forth, but where these same faults appear in socialist countries or in primitive cultures, the leftist finds excuses for them, or at best he GRUDGINGLY admits that they exist; whereas he ENTHUSIASTICALLY points out (and often greatly exaggerates) these faults where they appear in Western civilization. Thus it is clear that these faults are not the leftist’s real motive for hating America and the West. He hates America and the West because they are strong and successful…Notice the masochistic tendency of leftist tactics. Leftists protest by lying down in front of vehicles, they intentionally provoke police or racists to abuse them, etc. These tactics may often be effective, but many leftists use them not as a means to an end but because they PREFER masochistic tactics. Self-hatred is a leftist trait.
