Super Bowl 46 Preview

[LESS INFO] 6 VIEWS | ADDED 03:08:59 02/03/12
Welcome to RideThePine.com The sports event of the year, Super Bowl 46 featuring the New York Giants and New England Patriots , is upon us and we have your full preview...starting now. I’ve gone back and forth on who I think will win Super Bowl 46, but before we reveal our pick lets talk about a couple of things that I hope will happen. I hope New York Giants Quarterback Eli Manning has the most horrific game in the history of quarterbacks in the Super Bowl. His success is something I can’t describe. Like he kind of plays good when the teams needs him, but its really the defense that wins the game, but Eli throws a TD so everyone thinks its him but its really not. (His success is just as confusing as that sentence) I hope that not one of Gisele Bundchen’s friends or family waste a prayer on New England Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady . At the end of the day Tom Brady is Tom Brady; handsome, married to one of the most beautiful women in the world, has millions of dollars and plays a game for a living. So he might not win the big game. If you want to throw some prayers around, how about right here. This guy has only sold two of these amazing Beer, Wing, and Football shirts ...and I was one of the buyers. Expect Madonna to do something just completely insane. Like poop on stage. She is sick and tired of everyone talking about Lady Gaga and this is her chance to show every that she is the craziest pop singer around. As if sleeping with Dennis Rodman wasn't proof enough. Expect NBC to be completely obsessed with Rob Gronkowski and his injured ankle but it will be New England’s other tight end, Aaron Hernandez , who will have a bigger game. I hope the cameras catch Peyton Manning wearing a Bobby Heenan -like neck brace in a luxury suit. I hope there will be an E-Trade baby with spiky Jersey Shore hair or spay-tanned Snookie Orange . (Yes, that is a color) Did I already do my Madonna pooping joke... I hope NBC hires Marisol Gonzalez to be their sideline reporter . I hope Tiquan Underwood scores a touchdown so he can do the Kid N’ Play dance. I hope New York Giants Head Coach Tom Coughlin 's face melts off like he just opened the Arc of the Covenant . Ladies and Gentlemen, my pick for Super 46. New York Giants, 17. New England Patriots, 24. This episode is brought to you by 4inkjets.

Reform School Vs. Justin Bieber - "Fa La La (ft. Boyz II Men)"

[LESS INFO] 21 VIEWS | ADDED 20:00:00 12/02/11
We start off the month of December with our first holiday Reform School. This week the girls take a look at the new video for the latest single of Justin Bieber's Christmas album "Under The Mistletoe". This is "Fa La La" featuring backing vocals from Boyz II Men. Martina loves this song. "This is probably one of my favorites off of his Christmas album, and his Christmas album is amazing." Under the Mistletoe includes a mix of some covers and some originals. This one is one of the originals. Fa La La is one of four songs from the album that will see video releases in the span of two weeks. But the quality of the music isn't the only attraction. Mr. Bieber has the look, according to the Reform School Girls. "Omigod, I'm in love already!" Jackie: "It's so cool that Boyz II Men are on this. They're so old school." The girls keep obsessing on Bieber's looks. "I don't understand how someone can be so beautiful. Like, how was he born this way?" "Our camera man is gagging right now..." Jackie, once again, affirms her disdain for black and white videos and movies. "I love his hair. He's definitely maturing so much." "We're allowed to say that he's sexy now, 'cause he's almost 18." Good looks don't carry the day though. Our reviewers find the video to be, in a word, boring. "Nothing's happening. Where's the Christmas trees and mistletoe and the girl he's supposed to be singing to?" "I'm so bored," says Jackie. "At least have a wreath or something. There's no sign that this is a holiday video." Though they clearly have Bieber fever, and generally like the other work of director Colin Tilley, this one gets a D or D+ at most. Sorry, Justin.

Immigration Dilemma.

[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 04:23:18 11/22/11
This nation, we often forget when it comes to people of color, is a nation of immigrants. None of us is native to this land – except Native Americans (from whom all the land was stolen or cheated away). It remains symptomatic of our obsession with skin color and cultural “otherhood” that we forget that our parents or grandparents or great-grandparents arrived here after uprooting themselves from places where they were either not welcome or no longer viable citizens – because of their religion, their crimes, their finances, their lack of opportunity, their victimhood – seeking a new start, some way to survive, feed their families, recreate community. Too often, the second- or third- or fourth-generation immigrant starts identifying as the owner of his her place and not the occupant of space that once belonged to someone else. They begin to see “the other” – either those brought here against their will or appearing voluntarily to start anew and do the work we once did and no longer will do – the dirty work. That’s the work that creates millionaires of others of us, and just a few of us at that. Do we ask why, then, the government we elect and pay for treats our immigrant brothers and sisters like criminals? Why are the very people who pick our produce, who roof our houses, who serve our domestic and commercial needs and wants harassed and discriminated against – and shoved out of the United States, despite our unwillingness to perform such tasks ourselves anymore? We have laws on the books that creates citizens of anyone born in the USA, as the children of so many immigrants are. And, yet again, we are prepared to send these children back home with their deported parents? This is a nation of laws, yet also a nation of laws that make no sense and enforcement mechanisms that ignore justice and stretch the rules to de-nude our commercial and industrial entities of their capacity to continue operating. There’s a serious duplicity operating here – hypocrisy of policy and politics so clearly based in our obsession with color and culture that it defeats its own purpose for being because our longstanding racism and white supremacy. Like the INS before it, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency often operates on a plane above the law or as a government unto itself. In whose best interests are the raids and jailings and deportations carried out by the federal government? What are we doing to the families of undocumented worker who keep this country’s economy afloat with their hard work and subpar wages? What about their children? What about their education? Their health care? What about the taxes they pay, the mortgages they’ve been allowed to take out on modest living quarters? And yet, we’re told that Minnesota does one of the better jobs of working together to solve many of these problems, and it shows in the stories coming out of towns and cities where factories and farms have created whole new communities of new residents – some undocumented, some not, but living and working together to keep those communities thriving. Worthington is one. Madelia’s another. But Uncle Sam’s vigilant guard is ever on the prowl. All questions needing answers. A few of them will come this week as TruthToTell’s ANDY DRISCOLL and MICHELLE ALIMORADI query two of the state’s most active advocates in this field. Some might even say strange bedfellows who are nevertheless members of a broad coalition of interested legal agencies, nonprofits, unions and business groups who support major immigration reform. On-air guests: JOHN KELLER – Executive Director, Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota BILL BLAZAR – Senior Vice President, Public Affairs and Business Development, Minnesota Chamber of Commerce. LAURA DANIELSON – Attorney/Chair, Immigration Law Department, Fredrikson & Byron, PA; Law Instructor, University of MN Law School; Co-Author, Green Card Stories
