Say What? RNC Has a Kanye Moment

TresSugar — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 01:00:00 -0700

"Michael Steele had a Kanye West moment coming out there and saying Beyonce should have gotten the award. He shouldn't have done that."

- Conservative pundit Pat Buchanan said yesterday that RNC chair Michael Steele had a Kanye West moment when he came out early against President Obama's Nobel Peace Prize. Steele said that the prize should have gone to those people who have made "real achievements working towards peace and human rights."

To see the video of Pat, which includes hilarious pronunciations of "Kanye" and "Beyonce," read more.

America: A Country For Rude People

TresSugar — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 14:00:00 -0700

High-profile incidents of rudeness have dominated the news cycle over the last week. The president of the United States can't give a speech without being heckled, Serena Williams lost her cool during the US Open, and yes, Kanye West acted like a "jackass" by interrupting Taylor Swift's VMA acceptance speech.

In today's New York Times, columnists David Brooks and Gail Collins weigh in on the decline of American manners. Specifically, conservative Brooks suggests that Kanye's outburst is a turning point for America's future, equivalent even to the Battle of Gettysburg (seriously, David Brooks?) and a sign that American society is in decline.

Putting aside the possible implications, do you think Americans are getting ruder?

Say What? Author Kanye West Is No Fan of Books

TresSugar — Wed, 27 May 2009 10:00:00 -0700

"I am not a fan of books. I would never want a book's autograph. I am a proud non-reader of books. I like to get information from doing stuff like actually talking to people and living real life."

Kanye made this anti-book statement while promoting his new book Thank You and You're Welcome, a collection of thoughts and theories. He said being a non-reader helped him with his co-writing duties. Kanye might fancy himself as a genius, but he's not getting any of his intelligence from books.

The Maverick Mixes It Up, Calls Obama Out on Financial Crisis

CitizenSugar — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 12:15:20 -0700

Another nugget of fallout from the financial crisis isn't just the prices on Lehman Brothers swag on eBay - it could be Obama's seemingly gleeful reaction to it, according McCain strategists. Steve Schmidt told reporters today that Obama is "cheerleading the crisis," and using it to his own political advantage, while McCain seeks a bipartisan solution to the money woes.

While Obama is "cheerleading" the financial crisis, Sarah Palin did some McCain cheerleading of her own at a joint town hall in Michigan last night. Jumping in to the proceedings, Palin said:

Okay. May I add something, because sometimes my running mate is a bit too humble. We need to remember who it was who pushed for and supported and risked much for the strategy that is working in Iraq, and that is the surge. He is the one who pushed for it.

Plus, I'm learning so much about culture today! McCain raps! Or R&Bs or something. I don't care what you call it, it's hilarity squared. Just watch. I promise it's worth it to read more.

Somehow I'm wishing this speech had actually been delivered like this. I might be sending the campaign a memo right now. . . "To whom it may concern: More dancing. Also, fur coat. Thank you."

Do you think Obama is "cheerleading" the crisis? How are McCain and Palin getting together on the trail? Does she have staying power, despite what Karl Rove says?

Does It Take the Right Woman to Make a Man Settle Down?

DearSugar — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 11:00:00 -0700

Earlier this week Us Magazine reported the news of Kanye West's breakup with fiancé Alexis Phifer. Although I think he's an amazing performer and I respect the devotion he showed his mother, there's something about his larger-than-life demeanor that always made his long-term relationship somewhat surprising. Truth be told, I'm not all that shocked that he called things off before tying the knot.

I guess I've always wondered if the commitment phobes and players of the world are destined to be 90-year-old bachelors, or if it just takes the right woman to get them to settle down. Obviously for Kanye, the jury's still out, but as for the average guy, what do you think? Does it take the right woman or do you think once a player always a player?

Daft Kanye

GiggleSugar — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 03:00:00 -0700

Not too long ago, the Daft-Punk trend hit the net and everyone got wrapped up in a finger-flipping spell-a-thon. When two girls put their entire bodies into the mix, we thought the trend reached full potential. Not so! If Kanye has anything to say about it, those fingers gotta move "harder, better, faster, stronger" . . . (Thanks, College Humor!)

California Assemblywoman Proposes "Donda West Law"

CitizenSugar — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 11:00:41 -0800

Though the current campaign-frenzy pushes other political happenings off the media map sometimes, lawmakers everywhere are still up, kicking, and proposing legislation. One of the latest bills just proposed in California is being called "The Donda West Law" and was inspired by the November death of Kanye West's mother after a cosmetic surgery procedure.

Proposed by California Assemblywoman Wilmer Amina Carter, the law would require patients to have medical clearance before undergoing elective cosmetic surgery. A source close to the family says that Kanye supports the legislation.

Not everyone, however, thinks this legislation is the answer to the problem - commentary is surfacing criticizing the need to legislate what some think should be governed by prudent common sense.

What do you think? Is the "Donda West Law" a prudent step or government run amuck?
