		<description>Beyonce can&#039;t carry JHud&#039;s water when it comes to straight up singing...and we&#039;re talking about the National Anthem. I heard Beyonce&#039;s version when she sang for the Super Bowl....and I wanted her to shut up about half way thru before I hurled myself over my own balcony just to rid my ears of it.</description>

		<description>Single Sista alone too. Just picked up my annual Chinese feast after I dropped my sister off at the airport - she&#039;s going to Vegas. My other sister just called; she asked me  for suggestions what movies should she and her kids should watch from the bunch they picked up. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I&#039;m going to toast Mama at midnight. :(</description>

		<description>This is why I say, watch the impeachment hearings too. The folks Massa Madigan was depending upon to testify against Blago, aren&#039;t saying JACK until they get immunity from Fitzgerald - and he&#039;s not been giving it out. If he has, it&#039;s been underwraps and not reported in the local papers. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My thing is, if Fitzgerald had alllllll the evidence that they&#039;ve been talking about in the papers for a good year and a half, then he shouldn&#039;t even NEED any of this Senate stuff for an indictment. My tinfoil hat is wondering whether Tony Rezko has actually been singing.</description>

		<description>I LOVE VH1 and VH1 Soul too!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Man, sometimes I get all misty eyed just from the nostalgia when I see a bunch of my favorite &quot;old skool&quot; videos. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I only watch v-h1 though occassionaly on Sundays for the Countdown and Best Week.  It seems like the rest of their programming consists of Flava of Love spin offs.</description>

		<description>WASHINGTON (AP) -- President-elect Barack Obama and his family will be staying at the Best Western on Glebe Road in anticipation of his upcoming inauguration, officials said.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;After vacationing in a lavish, exclusive $9 million dollar seaside rental home in exotic Hawaii, Obama and his family will be lodging as so many ordinary Americans do on 180 thread count sheets in a room decorated by the Lost &amp; Starving Artists, Best Western officials said.  There is a continental breakfast in the lobby during the mornings and a mini-microwave in each room.  The Obamas are moving to Washington early to enroll their daughters Sasha, 7, and Malia, 10 in the exclusive and pricey Sidwell Friends school, even as they were urged to enroll their children in DC Public Schools as a show of good faith.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Spokespersons for Obama declined whether or not Obama or taxpayer money is paying for the Best Western hotel room.</description>

		<description>Yeah really.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Baratunde&#039;s idea now has edged into third in Global Warming, with &quot;A Do Not Mail Registry to Stop Junk Mail&quot; and &quot;Hold Nationwide Town Hall Meeting on America&#039;s Energy Future&quot; only two votes behind.  A dramatic finish indeed!</description>

		<description>Just decided to cross the Holland Tunnel to see my parents and siblings for the New Year&#039;s. Will likely crash there with my fiance (separate rooms of course lol) then come home to Brooklyn next day.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We usually cry (for the loss of loved ones etc)- our family tradition.</description>
