Bird Brains Compete for 'Turkey of the Year'
By Buck Wolf - AOL NewsJust how did the turkey -- a bird native to North America -- become synonymous with thoughtless, annoying people, so often overstuffed with jive? Let's face it, some of our nominees for 2009 Turkey of the Year wouldn't be welcome at any Thanksgiving dinner. So, with no further ado, let's look at some of the year's most fowl personalities. AP Roguishly Raw: That ring you hear when your 15 minutes of fame are up must be a call from someone asking you to pose nude. Levi Johnston's offer came from Playgirl, and he promised the pictorial would be "tasteful." We now know that Johnston's ...
Obama, Kanye West, Tommy Lasorda, and Jesse Jackson: Lessons of the Open Mic
By Carl M. Cannon - Politics DailyThree decades ago, when powerful directional microphones were becoming commonplace in broadcast reporting, a newspaper colleague of mine played the most remarkable tape recording for me. It was made during the fourth game of the 1977 World Series at Dodger Stadium and stars Los Angeles Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda, at whom the mic had been aimed. ...

Video Parody: Kanye West Interrupts Mike Tomlin Press Conference
By Adam Gretz - AOL NewsBy now, you've probably seen the video of Kanye West, the biggest and most annoying attention whore in the music industry, interrupting Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday so he could express his love for a Beyonce music video as one of the greatest of all time (Frankly, I always preferred the Foo Fighters video for "Big Me" as the best video ever, but, hey, just my opinion and we'll agree to disagree). Anyway, the outburst led to the folks at Benstonium (and seemingly every other person and website on the internet) to create a parody video, modeled after ...
Obama Calls Kanye West a 'Jackass'
By David Sessions - Politics DailyABC News reporter Terry Moran set Twitter afire Monday with a bit of inside reporting on an interview that took place on another network: President Obama, Moran revealed on his Twitter feed, had referred to Kanye West a "jackass." "Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a 'jackass' for his outburst at the VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT's presidential," Moran wrote at 6:39 p.m. yesterday. The quote quickly spread across the social networking site until CNBC, whose reporter had been interviewing Obama when he made the comment, objected that it had come during an off-the-record portion of the ...
Barack Obama Doesn't Care About White Southerners
By Caleb Howe - Politics DailyIt's the Kanye West test, you see. Where is FEMA? That's the question rural southerners are asking. Or would be asking if their lips weren't frozen shut. At least 42 people have died, including 11 in Kentucky, and conditions are worsening in many places days after an ice storm knocked out power to 1.3 million customers from the Plains to the East Coast. About a million people were still without electric Friday, and with no hope that the lights will come back on soon, small communities are frantically struggling to help their residents. The death toll may be higher already, Grayson County ...
Minor League Spotlight: Wake Up Mr. West!
By Eamonn Brennan - AOL NewsThe Texas Rangers have had to suspend a prospect, and not just any prospect, either: the Rangers' second-round pick from the 2007 First-Year Player Draft, Matt West, has been suspended 50 games for use of performance enhancing drugs. Obviously, this is far worse than a random single A prospect from BFE; the Rangers just sunk draft pick money into West, and now have a player who will be decidedly behind the curve in his development."Very disappointing," Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said. "It just goes to show you that you can never know everything on these guys. We try to do our ...
Kanye West Names Song After Barry Bonds
By Larry Brown - AOL NewsI'm a big fan of Kanye West, and I'm guessing from this point on, Barry Bonds will be too. After all, we learned from Juan Pierre that once a rapper mentions you in a song, you use it as your at-bat music. Bonds however, is not just getting a mere mention; Bonds is having an entire song named after him. Lil Wayne has made the final cut and will appear on a track called "Barry Bonds," Roc-A-Fella/ Def Jam confirmed Tuesday (August 14). Bonds - Major League Baseball's controversial, newly crowned home-run king - is apparently a metaphor for how big West thinks the record will be. The chorus ...
