Mr. Lif is fusing music with politics in a new way. He will be writing 1 to 2 songs every 3 weeks..

until Election Day (November 4), following which Mr. Lif will release one more single based on his post electoral thoughts. This single will preface the release of the I Heard It Today (Bloodbot Tactical Enterprises) full length on Inauguration Day (January 20, 2009). The album will feature additional unreleased tracks and corresponding artwork.

Mr. Lif says…

“With a new administration on the horizon, many of us are hoping things will change for the better. We are all hoping our voices will be heard and our concerns met with solutions. This project allows me to voice and magnify the all too often ignored opinions of the American people. My research has led me to speak with so many citizens nation wide, and the stories of your struggles combined with the knowledge of my own struggles have given birth to the project now known as I Heard It Today. “

You can also tune into his Presidential Reports on his MySpace page where he will regularly comment on current events. Allhiphop.com will have exclusive streams of the tracks one day prior to release. And we’re a little jealous.

Speaking of WWIII, did you know that not only is talk cheap, but Jews are for McCain? I mean, I guess they’re right, talking really is a whole lot cheaper than dropping $165,984,483,849,293 worth of bombs on some desert country, but whatever. If I was feeling really politically incorrect I could say something like, “I thought Jews were cheap and talking was for McCain” but that’s not really my style. More my style is to point a link to Jews For Obama and leave it at that. Mazel tov.

Yes we fucking can!

Wow, gotta love an election year, amiright?

An unidentified white male burst into Bill Gwatney’s office earlier today and fired 3 shots, leaving the Arkansas Democratic Chairman in critical condition. The suspect fled the scene, leading police on a 30 mile chase through the county, until the man was eventually either gunned down or took his own life.

Bill Gwatney, Chairman of the Arkansas Democratic Party, has been listed in critical condition after a gunman entered the party’s headquarters in Little Rock and opened fire.

According to witnesses, a white male entered the building and asked to speak with Gwatney. After Gwatney’s secretary told the man he could not speak to him the man walked into the chairman’s office and fired three shots before fleeing.

Gwatney was believed to be hit at least once and was rushed to a local hospital. The suspected gunman was shot by police and apprehended, his condition is not known.

Police say a man suspected of bursting into the Arkansas Democratic Party headquarters and shooting the party chairman has died.

Police say the suspect burst into the office of Party Chairman Bill Gwatney and fired three shots. Gwatney is hospitalized in critical condition.

Police Lt. Terry Hastings says authorities chased the suspect into Grant County, south of Little Rock, and that he was fatally wounded during a 30-mile chase.

Man, he really could’ve been the next Bill Clinton:

John Edwards repeatedly lied during his Presidential campaign about an extramarital affair with a novice filmmaker, the former Senator admitted to ABC News today.

In an interview for broadcast tonight on Nightline, Edwards told ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff he did have an affair with 44-year old Rielle Hunter, but said that he did not love her.

Edwards also denied he was the father of Hunter’s baby girl, Frances Quinn, although the one-time Democratic Presidential candidate said he has not taken a paternity test.

Edwards said he knew he was not the father based on timing of the baby’s birth on February 27, 2008. He said his affair ended too soon for him to have been the father.

A former campaign aide, Andrew Young, has said he was the father of the child.

I’d still vote for him before I’d vote for John McCain, but that’s just because I ain’t a player hater.

Contrary to my dream last night, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was not recently fired from her position for not disclosing that she was, indeed, a Hermaphrodite. One thing’s for certain: I really should stop listening to BBC World Service while I’m trying to fall asleep. The Aqua Teen Hunger Force episodes probably didn’t help either. I mean, really, when do they?

The weird dream prompted me to look up Condi on google news this morning. After attempting the key words “Condoleezza Rice Hermaphrodite,” which luckily found no results, I stumbled upon an article from ABC News about Condi’s former life as an aspiring pianist.

From ABC:

As a 17-year-old sophomore at the University of Denver, Rice was a music major with big dreams, who had started learning to play the piano from her grandmother at the age of three.

“I could read music before I could read. And I was absolutely certain that I was going to end up playing at Carnegie Hall,” Rice said onstage prior to her performance on Saturday.

Her first appearance at the Aspen Music Festival, however, quickly changed a young Condoleezza Rice’s mind.

“After listening to some of the 11- and 12-year-olds play, who could play from sight everything it had taken me all year to learn, I thought, ‘you know, you’re going to end up playing at Nordstrom or a piano bar, but not Carnegie Hall,’” she said.

Imagine the world that could have been. Actually, there’s probably no difference as Bush would have just appointed some other tool into a high position, but it does give me a giggle thinking of Condi hammering away at Nordstrom or some bullshit.

PLAY SOME SKYNNARD!!! WHOO!!!
