Cross-pollination
I want real musical boundary breaking...
How about:
Jack + Justin + Timbaland
Pharrel + Zooey Deschanel
Bjork + Dolly + ?Love
Lil Wayne + Jamie Cullum
[Thanks for the help, ElefantEar]

Promo tour
Hillary Clinton, on a promotional tour for her new perfume and body spray line, stops in Iraq to meet her fans.
At a press conference event, she was quoted as saying, "Iraqi women know what empowerment means. Blowing yourself up in the name of religion takes the kind of self-assurance, commitment, and ever-present threat that Authorite is all about. We could all learn something from them."

Blow yourself..up
It's our fault. The vacuum of power in Iraq is, without any question, our fault.
But six years later, is it still our problem?
According to an Iranian cleric, the US is failing to maintain security in Baghdad. Well...really?
As my beloved Poke says, "People have been fighting over this shit since ancient times, dog."
I challenge the Iraqis to realize the following:
- Strong secular leadership.
- A government structure that provides vehicles for sectarian debate.
- Legal and social systems that give religious groups the freedom to practice whatever behaviors they choose, without inhibiting the choices of all citizens.
- Judicial and enforcement systems that consistently demand accountability from religious leaders whose followers make policy by social violence and disruption.
- Investment in social and educational infrastructure, even supporting those sects which choose to criticize the freedoms given to their fellow citizens.
- Independence from Western influencers.
- Global and regional role in furthering these principles, thereby reducing the polarizing political disagreements that result in armed conflict.

Ben Bizuneh is one of my T101 students, and the kid is a f#@king madman. I mean that in the best possible way.
