Funny stuff

So i came across a great satirical website, The Onion. I know, I'm late on knowing about it but, yeah they have some really funny shit that i could not think of.

I especially liked the ones entitled
"Poll: Bullshit most important issue for 2008"
"Our troops send peace goodwill and body armor"
and
"Al Queda also fed up with ground zero construction delays"

See those videos here

Dr. Maulana Karenga is my professor who created this holiday. As much as I respect him there still remains contradictions as there will always be. Despite the detailed principles of Kwanzaa, the holiday has turned into another consumerist culture like Christmas. It just reminds me to open up my "The Grinch who stole Christmas" by Dr. Seuss and remember the foundation of our values.

Questions will always remain:
