So this is some speculation but our sources have seen John Brown in the studio with Ill Bill (who was on last episode). Always one to rain on a parade I putting it out there to hopefully fuck VH1 up in some manner. Remember when Vh1 used to be Sade and Bobby Brown marathons now its BET improved.

Airmen pretending to be rioters scatter after being zapped by a new military ray gun during a demonstration at Moody Air Force Base, Ga., Wednesday, Jan. 24, 2007. The millimeter beam from the Active Denial System makes people feel as if they are about to catch fire. Officials say the weapon could be a non-lethal way to increase the security of U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan and with its 500 meter range it is far superior to current non-lethal weapons, such as rubber bullets.

Here’s some classic quotes and tidbits from a man hell bent on becoming the next President of the United States:

Huckabee has been criticized for his support of creationism. He was quoted in July 2004 on “Arkansans Ask,” his regular show on the Arkansas Educational Television Network: “I think that [students] also should be given exposure to the theories not only of evolution but to the basis of those who believe in creationism.” Huckabee also stated “I do not necessarily buy into the traditional Darwinian theory, personally.”

Huckabee drew criticism in October 2006 for referring to his significant weight loss as being the result of a stay at “a concentration camp held by the Democrat Party of Arkansas”.

Wayne Dumond, who was convicted for the rape of Ashley Stevens, a Forrest City high school student, was released from prison in Arkansas, allegedly by pressure from Huckabee, and subsequently sexually assaulted and murdered a Missouri woman.

While Huckabee has been, on the one hand, criticised for granting a relatively high rate of clemency to criminals during his tenure, he has, on the other hand, also been criticised for refusing to reopen investigation into the well-known case of the West Memphis Three , a group of convicts whom many believe are innocent of the crimes of which they are accused.

“I didn’t get into politics because I thought government had a better answer. I got into politics because I knew government didn’t have the real answers, that the real answers lie in accepting Jesus Christ into our lives.”

“I hope we answer the alarm clock and take this nation back for Christ.”

A potential shortage of coins in the United States could mean all those pennies in your piggy bank could be worth five times their current value soon, says an economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. Sharply rising prices of metals such as copper and nickel have meant the face value of pennies and nickels are worth less than the material that they are made of, increasing the risk that speculators could melt the coins and sell them for a profit. -Reuters
