Give that man a MacArthur Genius award!

Some rapper claims the Nazis built the Berlin Wall.

I know, I know. The guy's just an entertainer, a celebrity. Of course he's ignorant. But as a connoisseur of ignorance, I am fascinated by a specimen this pure, whatever the source.

Two things, hip-hop man: the Berlin wall was built by German communists, and it was built to keep people in, not out. Stuff that in your blunt and smoke it.

Forget it, he's rolling.

...the Berlin Wall that was torn down in 1991 in order to foster humanity and diversity?

Yeah, foster humanity and diversity, that's it. Nothing at all to do with liberty, and freedom from communist oppression.

I know we're supposed to have sympathy for the less fortunate, which probably includes this brain-decomposing rapper, but sometimes I just want to pick up a hammer and ... never mind. Merry Christmas.

There may very well come a time when we have to start shooting people like him.

This being Christmas Eve, I hope that it may not be for at least several days.

Oops! That wasn't the Christmas turkey, Officer?

Paco, so true. He is a specimen. Unfortunately, the kind that is too frequently found. But just a little clarity. Aren't rap and hip hop two different things?

OT. Merry Christmas to all! May everyone be blessed! This year there is a a extraordinary site. There is a comet passing earth that shines brightly. It will be it's closest on Christmas. It only comes around in over a hundred years.

You want to think that there's a teacher or two somewhere in America cringing in shame, don't you?
Be that as it may, Merry Christmas to all who frequent this site. And thanks to Paco Prime for leaving the doors open and letting me scribble now and then on the walls.

According to Wikipedia, the two words are sometimes used synonymously, although hip hop is, technically, a broader term.

God bless all the members of US armed forces past and present including those who did their bit to bring down that wall. A shame that's not taught in US schools.

Morning stroll from my hotel in Canberra (Australia) this year, wandered past the German Club and wow - there on the street was a huge standing piece of the wall I could touch, brought over to stand as a memorial.
