JOE BIDEN / SARAH PALIN (SNL OPENER)
I called it on Thursday, and Saturday Night Live most definitely clowned Governor Sarah Palin. Follow the break to check out more SNL Sarah Palin parodies! They’re definitely worth watching. Is it ironic that Tina Fey already looks so much like Sarah Palin … without even trying to?!
He got away with murder, but when the law caught up with him a second time, he couldn’t shake it off as easily. The New York Times is reporting that a Las Vegas jury convicted O.J. Simpson of armed robbery and kidnapping late Friday night. This verdict, ironically, comes 13 years to the day after he was acquitted of killing his ex-wife and her friend in Los Angeles.
Mr. Simpson gave a heavy sigh as the verdict was announced but showed little emotion as officers led him handcuffed from the courtroom. Mr. Simpson’s sister, Carmelita Durio, broke into sobs as he was led away and later fainted. Mr. Simpson’s lawyer said the conviction would be appealed. Sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 5, and Mr. Simpson, 61, and his co-defendant, Clarence Stewart, 54, could spend the rest of their lives in prison. Kidnapping is punishable by five years to life, and the armed robbery conviction requires a mandatory sentence of at least two years and up to 30 years. The presence of a weapon at the scene adds years to the minimum sentences for 9 of the 12 charges, which include conspiracy to commit robbery, burglary, assault and coercion. [ READ MORE ]
Damn, karma is more of a bitch than I thought she was!
I’m not sure if you caught last night’s debate, but if you were worried about Barack Obama being our future president, then I’m here to tell you to worry no more! Sarah Palin and Joe Biden faced off in a vice presidential debate last night at St. Louis University, and after watching the debate, I know 2 things: 1.) Sarah Palin doesn’t know what the hell she’s talking about and has horrible public speaking skills, and 2.) come January 20th 2009, we’re going to have a black man in the oval office. ‘Nuff said. Check out videos of the debate here if you weren’t able to last night. Oh yeah, and REGISTER TO VOTE … NOW!
Oh, and one more thing: is it just me or did Sarah tend to go off topic throughout the debate, and it seemed as though she made up for not knowing how to answer the question by “beating around the bush” or just changing the context of the question in her answer.
Boy, oh boy, Saturday Night Live is gonna have a field day with this one!

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS // THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25TH 2008 » The critically-acclaimed superstar Janet Jackson lit up the Allstate Arena on Thursday night (September 25th). Seven long years and three albums later Janet Jackson has decided to tour once again to give her fans that “nasty” flavor she always delivers. Miss Jackson sparked the stage with her high-tech space themed show, which she opened with three of her classic hit singles, “The Pleasure Principle”, “Control”, and “What Have You Done for Me Lately”, all from her 1986 breakthrough album, Control, moving to the original choreography from her 20 year material.
Another Chicago native artist is rising on the verge of success and he goes by the name of Kurt Lewie. Inspired by rappers like Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G., Kurt Lewie has urged to become a relevant lyricist in the Hip Hop game. With style like Kanye West, connections to R. Kelly and vocal similarities to Cassidy and Dolla, Kurt Lewie has already branched out to his own unique persona. Kurt’s current promo single, “Stunna”, is from his upcoming album Dis Gon’ Bang!, should be available to his MySpace page later on this year. Be sure to check out his single.

DIDI LIMA ON WHY SHE THINKS HISPANICS SHOULD NOT VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA »
“We don’t want (Hispanics) to become the new African-American community,” Lima the Hispanic community liaison for Republican John McCain’s presidential campaign told The Associated Press. “And that’s what the Democratic Party is going to do to them, create more programs and give them handouts, food stamps and checks for this and checks for that. We don’t want that.”
“I’m very much afraid that the Democratic Party is going to do the same thing that they did with the African-American culture and make them all dependent on the government and we don’t want that,” she said.
Let’s take a short moment out of our daily gossip reports to talk about something that effects nearly 60% of the readers who visit GOT daily. Congress is currently debating a decision to bail out struggling Wall Street banks. This decision will cost Americans $700 billion. Republicans and liberal Democrats are for it, saying that this bail-out will “help keep the crisis in our financial system from spreading throughout our economy.” Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke also supports the bailout bill, stating that, “this legislation should help to restore the flow of credit to households and businesses that is essential for economic growth and job creation, while at the same time affording strong and necessary protections for taxpayers,” he said in a statement.
But will this really help? Is this a short-term fix that will possibly blow up in the face of our future president later on down the road? Are they just patching up the problem temporarily? Should we, as Americans, write the government a check for $700 billion to fix mistakes caused by 8 years of the George W. Bush administration?

ATLANTA, GEORGIA // SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27TH 2008 » Ciara has taken over Six Flags in her hometown to celebrate her third upcoming album Fantasy Ride (LaFace/Jive). In fact, they changed the name of a roller coaster, Golitah, to “Fantasy Ride”, to support their homecoming star. Ciara’s third album is due in stores December 9th. Check out more pics after the cut.
According to our demographics, 35% of GOT’s readers are between the ages of 18 and 34. If you are a legal United States citizen, then there is no reason (or excuse for that matter) for you not to be registered to vote. You have up until this Saturday (October 4th 2008) to get off of your lazy behind and register! If you visit www.VOTEFORCHANGE.COM all you do is fill out a simple form online and they register for you! This takes all of what … 3 minutes? (depending on the speed of your computer). So what the hell are you waiting on? If Obama doesn’t get into office because of the 55 million Americans not registered to vote, then we don’t deserve to have him as our president. And that’s the truth.
Oh, and by the way, if you turn 18 on or before November 4th, then you are still eligible to vote in this year’s election. So if you are currently 17 years old and your 18th birthday isn’t until November 4th 2008, then you can still register NOW (even before you actually turn 18). SO DO IT!!
