Written By Biko

After nearly two weeks of getting smacked around by John McCain and Sarah Palin, Barack Obama is finally showing signs that he knows how to get gully. Yesterday the Democratic nominee gave a speech in Boulder, CO that many are considering to be one of his strongest moments in the campaign.

I know that some of you don't agree with me, but people of color need to have a real conversation about what's going on with the environment. And I am not talking about tree hugging and saving the whales. I'm talking about climate change, more specifically I am talking about these mu'fing Hurricanes.

I know I am a bit late, but did you see the latest controversy surrounding Barack Obama and Sarah Palin.  Apparently the McCain campaign interpreted Obama's comments above as an attack on Palin. Of course, any sane person realizes that Obama wasn't talking about her, but I guess anything will pass as the truth these days.

HH4PREZ BLOG: How Come Women Aren't Down With The Palin MILF Factor?

Written By Biko

[Editor’s Note: The views of this blog do not necessarily reflect those of SOHH.com]

I keep seeing these polls that highlight that men are responding much more positively to Governor  Sarah Palin than women.  I wonder why? I have been trying to stay away from talking about this, but I definitely think that the MILF factor has something to do with it.  I mean she is a pretty attractive woman, plus I think a lot of guys might get turned on by the word barracuda.  I don't, but I am just saying I bet there are a lot people into that type of stuff.

HH4PREZ BLOG: If You Read This Blog and Don't Vote Your A Loser...Here's Why

Written By Biko

So if you come to this blog regularly you know that I talk a lot of ish. And it's not because I'm not a serious dude.  I know better than most that we got a long way to go if we are truly going to bring about change in this country. I just like to have fun when I write...I'm selfish like that. But even sometimes I gotta stop talking mess and give you the real talk, especially when it comes to people trying to steal votes from poor people.

HH4PREZ BLOG: I Don't Care What Anybody Says, Sarah Palin Smashed It Last Night

Written By Biko

Say what you want about Sarah Palin, but she smashed last night.  Yeah, I know that she was just reading off of a teleprompter and actually didn't write that speech,  but gosh darn it she sure did hit it out of the park last night.  Props to the McCain campaign for having enough guts to pick her. I know that I was mad skeptical just like everybody else. But let me be the first to say that Sarah Palin is no Dan Quayle. She's got way tooooo much swagger for us to compare her to that loser.

HH4PREZ BLOG: SMH @ John McCain...VP candidate's 17 Year Old Daughter is Pregnant!! (This is a real story!)

Written By Biko

Apparently Sarah Palin's 17 year old daughter is pregnant.  I guess Palin released a statement to quell rumors that she faked her recent pregnancy to hide up her daughters.  Wow!!! I won't write any baby mama jokes, because I think it's disrespectful. But I am sure a lot of the sick fools that read this blog have hundreds of them. Hard to believe that McCain actually picked this lady to be the VP.

HH4PREZ BLOG: Did the Republicans Luck Out with Gustav? I Think So!

So for the last couple of days the Republicans in Minneapolis have been on stand by because of Hurricane Gustav. I guess they figured they didn't want to host a $50 million party when an unprecedented number of people are fleeing a monster storm. Makes sense to me.

HH4PREZ BLOG: Who The Hell Was That Lady On CNN Last Night!?

Written By Biko

So yesterday I spent all day trying to hustle up a credential to get on the convention floor only to lose it.  I don't know what the hell happened to it.  I'm guessing I lost it while running in between events. But I'm glad I lost them though, because if I would have been in the convention I would have missed the best (and perhaps saddest) part of the night. Check out this video and tell me what you think.

And let me tell you, the folks from the Service Employees International Union, the Young Democrats of America and the Congressional Black Caucus are really good at throwing drinks at people. But enough about me and my drunken exploits at the convention, check the run down on Joe Biden:

Written By Biko

The other day the good folks over at Politico asked Republican presidential candidate John McCain how many houses he owned. McCain, being the good politician that he is, refused to answer the question and actually deferred to his campaign staff. He prolly just forgot how big of a baller he is and didn't want to lie on record. Check below to hear the audio.

The small group of young men were seated behind Obama and unfurled a banner that read "What about the Black community, Obama?" While the large crowd started to boo the brothas, Obama used the skills he learned as an organizer  to quell the madness. He  even allowed the protesters to ask a question about police brutality.
