9yr old BA & Joaq the Rapper

Thanks to Perez's twitter I came across this article earlier today.  It's about a 3rd grader, Ethan, in west Denver who is organizing a rally in support of gay marraige.  Growing up with gay neighbors, the nine-year-old can't understand why they aren't allowed to get married. Ethan says "They're the same as other people." And he's right.

It's amazing to me how someone so young an innconcent can not only have an opinion on such a relevant subject, but take action upon it - something that most people my age or older can't say. This kid has been emailing, calling, and having personal contact with all kinds of people including, public officials. He has gotten a few to speak at rally he is holding in Denver tomorrow! INSANE!! 

In other, not so inspiring news...

 I'm sure many of you are aware that Joaquin  Phoenix made a very bizzare appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman earlier this year.  The scruffy disheveled actor was in transition to becoming a rapper. And don't worry, he'll be comming out with a full album produced by none  other than P Diddy.  his brother-in law,  Casey Aflec, will be filming a documentary of the charade. You can also submit video footage for potential use in the documentary.

Most  speculate the documentary will be similar to Sascha Baron Cohen's Borat, but I think that's a little to predictable for Pheonix. Actually, I think that's exactly what he want's people to think. I believe the comedy in this documentary will be much darker and less crude than 2006's Borat.
