The Beastie Boys’ Adam Yauch died of throat cancer last week. Always some cruel twist of fate for a rapper. See The DOC of NWA & DMC of Run-DMC. We knew him as MCA. (Sheesk. This post already has more acronyms than a text message between 13-year old girls transcribing an FDA compliance manuel. BTW. […]

Osama Bin Laden: One Year
This is not a celebration. Just a remembrance. One of the values of song blogging is that it freezes in time a sentiment or a feeling, less easily retained in simple prose. What the ipoetlaureate was doing the day he died. Performed by the ipoetlaureate. Music produced by Gudo. Today’s song blog here: [wpaudio url=”http://www.ipoetblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/osama-neck-breaks.mp3″ […]

Bryce Harper, 19 year old baseball phenom, debuts with a double, RBI, laser rocket throw from Left, furious arm swinging on the base paths, and a raccoon pelt for hair. NFl Draft. Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III go 1 and 2, respectively. RGIII wears an inspirational pair of socks that urges young people to […]

North Korea released this statement, today, about a “Special Operation Action Group,” ambitiously proposing the annihilation of South Korea within a very narrow timeframe: Once the above-said special actions kick off, they will reduce all the rat-like groups and the bases for provocations to ashes in three or four minutes, in much shorter time, by […]
Les Miserables
Apparently wild ideological swings are not exclusive to American politics. Francois Hollande and incumbant Nicolas Sarkozy have advanced to the Second Round of France’s Presidential Elections. March madness or mma style, I guess. Sports frolic: Jon “Bones” Jones defeated Rashad “Suga” Evans in a lopsided and unanimous decision Saturday night at UFC 145. (Where else […]
TED Talks
By some miracle of modern cinema, my man Bobby, was able to edit together the video from my TEDx performance, which in fact had a pretty significant technical intermission. Plus, he had to splice in audio for portions of the presentation that weren’t originally captured by the house P.A. Really thankful. I still have regrets […]
Getting the Band Back Together
On the night we lose a legend in music and television hosting, in Dick Clark, there is some consolation that we are now toeing the line of a technology that can replicate and preserve and scrapbook in pixilated dimension our heroes of music. If you haven’t yet seen it, please immediately YouTube the hologram performance […]
A Cheeseburger in Paradise
Wait. Not the same Buffett? Don’t lie. You thought that the “Buffett Rule” had something to do with prohibitions against trips to Margaritaville or otherwise getting drunk and turning repeatedly. Didn’t you? And, some, hopefully smaller, percentage of you thought it was a ban on one of any of the various forms of acquiring food […]
A Failure to Launch
It’s really too easy, right? The subconscious inferiority complex latent in a phallic rocket that fails to launch? As we’ve discussed previously in blong, North Korea insisted on going forward with a missile launch otherwise condemned by the United States and the rational portion of the international community. North Korea said that its rocket launch […]
Moonlighting
In case you didn’t believe me. Sometimes you have to play the role. Let the haters hate.
