Sam L. Jackson Plays James Brown?

An inside scoop has informed me that Samuel L. Jackson may play the role of the late great James Brown, which is buzzed to be directed by Spike Lee

I can't see Samuel L. Jackson playing James Brown. Can he sing or dance?

Obama may be blasted for past cocaine use

Earlier Today, The Washington Post wrote an article on Obama's admission for cocaine use in a memoir written 11 years ago. Obama's revelations were not an issue during his Senate campaign two years ago. But now his open narrative of early, bad choices, including drug use starting in high school and ending in college, as well as his tortured search for racial identity, are sure to receive new scrutiny.

At least he admits his downfalls. By no way should he be vilified for past drug abuse. How many politicians do we know of that didn't sniff coke? Ole' George Jr. is more than likely guilty of it, and so are his daughters. I should know because I went to school with one of them.
