Dirty Money: The Business of High-End Prostitution
As the country continues to grow, the demand for more electrical power increases. Currently the US gets 20% of its power from nuclear energy. Many believe it’s time for that number to be in line with France where 80% of that country’s power is nuclear.  There are just over 100 nuclear plants in the US.

Why Kanye West Is Not A “Douche”
Seems like everybody's talking these days about how Kanye West is a douchebag. While even just using the word "douche" to describe him annoys me, I also must be totally honest here. I don't find him annoying AT ALL. Why is this? He constantly compares himself to musical legends, he unabashedly claims he is the voice of our generation, and he claims that if the Bible were being written today, he would be in it. There's no doubt, anyone saying something like that sounds really asshatty, and there's absolut

Kanye West “Love Lockdown” Video
I’ve said before I don’t really watch videos because if you have seen one you have seen them all, but I will actually watch a Kanye video since each one is so different from his last. The simple white look in the video is inspired by American Psycho…which was one of the strangest movies I have ever seen, minus the part where Christian Bale moonwalks with an axe.  Check below.

Finally, Kanye West didn’t have any reasons to complain, as both he and R&B singer Chris Brown each won big at last night’s American Music Awards.  But, ever the egoiste, Yeezy still took time to dedicate one of his trophies to Weezy while waxing philosophically grandiose by comparing contemporary pop music — especially his own — to the likes of the Beatles and Jimi Hendrix. If that’s not a delusion of grandeur, and if Rihanna’s robotic eye-patched pirate-of-the-future
