...That quirky Anheuser-Busch commercial may be simply an oblique way to sell more Bud, but its use of a salutation once confined to the black suburbs of Los Angeles is also a sign that all of America has been conquered by the hip-hop nation. And if nationhood is established by a community of territory, language, culture, economy and historic experience, then the hip-hop nation has truly come...
...Public opinion polls serve private interests, paid for by corporate advertisers and media corporations. In fact, the commission itself is funded by companies like Anheuser-Busch and AT&T. With the debates so corporately controlled, the true democratic process hasn't a chance.

When a first-grade student fatally shot classmate Kayla Rolland on Tuesday, people in Michigan - and around the country - scrambled to find someone to blame for the murder.

Even if this case is resolved quickly, Arthur Busch seems determined to keep the larger issues in the spotlight. Speaking to the press Thursday, he lambasted the anti-gun control lobby, saying, "I hope this tragedy makes people realize that those guns you think make you safer make our communities more dangerous." He also appealed to lawmakers in no uncertain terms: "We need legislation in America that faults parents and others who keep guns in their homes - if something happens with one of those guns, they should be held responsible for their negligence...
