As President Bush's 2ND term comes to a close he's taken the liberty to give pardons for 14 people. Of the 14 people listed, John Forte of the Grammy Award winning group the Fugees was included. Forte was arrested at Newark International Airport in 2000 after being found with a briefcase containing $1.4m of cocaine and was sentenced to 14 years in prison. This brings President Bush's total of pardons to 171.

If I could speak to the President I'd ask for the pardon (clemency) of former Governor of IL, George Ryan. Ryan, age 74 is currently serving 6 years in prison for his ties in political corruption. Before leaving office in 1998 Ryan commuted 167 death row inmates in IL to life sentences. Ryan always believed that Illinois capital punishment history was flawed. The state of Illinois is notorious for convicting criminals who've been proven innocent with new evidence while sitting on death row. I always believed Ryan's decision to remove all IL inmates off death row and give them life sentences was a brilliant idea. The thought that there might be innocent people executed on death row is quite scary. Although Ryan was convicted of several crimes during his term as Governor, I feel the President should pardon him because of his commitment to help fix an already deteriorated Illinois prison system.

Here's a video of one of the cutest little girls I've ever met in my life performing "Single Ladies." Her name is Ariana, and she has a very colorful personality as you can see.

Thanx to my extended family for the video, you guys know who you are. It's good to know I can always count on you guys for chips & lime, Bud-Lights, and an air mattress when needed.

I've seen some pretty immature and senseless things on the Internet this week, but this video definitely takes the cake.

If you're interested or know someone who is interested in purchasing a motorcycle then check out this eBay ad I posted Sunday. The bike is owned by a family friend who rarely rides the motorcycle and decided selling it might be a good idea. The bike runs flawlessly, sounds great, and looks awesome. Don't delay, the bid ends Sunday

Alright I'm starving, it's time for me to cut out.

Final Thought: As cute as kids are, I think I'll pass on having any for a couple of decades.
