Senator Simpson has to be one of my favorites. There´s nothing better than a good sense of humor.

Ha, ha, ha, the "fiscal cliff" follies! But the scary "cliff" is meaningless. Like the fifteen foot ledge at the peak of Mt Everest that once you go over becomes not fifteen feet but 29,000 feet. The calamity starts when interest rates rise. The printing roars on, money loses value, everything crashes and violence erupts. But it is OK. Cause we have a black president and he cares.

... targeting the youth to actively participate in fixing the national debt problem.

The youth have been told all that´s needed is to raise the tax on all those rascally rich people! (Has anybody even mentioned cutting spending? If spending isn´t part of the conversation, we´re spittin´ in the wind.)

Simpson gets way too much attention. He professes to know what needs to be done in DC but he was a senator for many years and he had a share in voting for the problems we are experiencing today.

I apologize for this complex evaluation of modern culture, but listen carefully.
The black subculture is infecting everything! And not for the common good!
A korean clown is copying black rappers, sort of like acquiring an infection that is communicable to others. And the black rappers dominate the broader American culture, transmit it to Korea, and the korean is copied by an old white guy.
He does a pitiful imitation of an already pitiful character from korea. And now the virus is in the mainstream bloodstream.
(I was channel surfing yesterday, and saw a show on PBS, apparently the purpose of which was to provide word pronounciations to pre schoolers, and the performers were ´beatboxing´ the pronounciations.

Our American culture is doomed.

He thinks he is brilliant.NOT.

Agree with you #4, he is part of the problem now he is telling others they are the problem. He should go back to his old folks home, he disgusts me.

I agree with you that it is like a disease. But I don´t believe that rap is even real black culture in the first place. What evolved into rap and later hip hop started with a small subculture decades earlier. But the hype promoters took it and "legitimized " it through promotion and slick marketing in the late 70s and early 80s. If you remember, it wasn´t dirty, misogynistic or violent when they first pushed it. Then, it was quickly picked up by street types and the growing gangster culture as it gave them a way to stand out--especially when they found out the money that could be made off this new novelty entertainment.

Agree with the culture remarks. But one thing that really bothers me is that most of what you see with the youth comes from prison culture. Good grief. And now a former senator is doing gangnam style...what ever. I think he just likes the attention.

Since he left the Senate he has never missed a chance to bash the GOP or to fawn over Clinton,Kennedy and Obama.

I didn´t really look into this until now. I didn´t know what "Gangnam Style" was but I looked it up and it isn´t what folks think it is:
"Gangnam Style" is a Korean neologism mainly associated with upscale fashion and lavish lifestyle associated with trendsetters in Seoul’s Gangnam district, which is considered the most affluent part of the metropolitan area.
"Gangnam" means "south(nam) of the river(gang)" in Korean. In this song, the "river(gang)" is the Han River, which penetrates the City of Seoul, capital of South Korea. The northern part of Seoul(gangbuk) has been the capital of Korea since the early 15th century. Development of Gangnam and expansion of Seoul started in 1970s. Gangnam is the icon of the rapid economic development of South Korea in 1970s and 80s. Mostly benefited from skyrocketing real estate price followed by planned economic development, Gangnam has become the most wealthy area in the entire South Korea. "Gangnam" is being regarded as the place where people are rich, girls are pretty and everything is supposed to be cool.

EX: I´m not rich enough to have fun in Gangnam Style.
