BP: Beyond Patronizing.

Ladies and Gentlemen, my first foray into video blogging. Vblogging. Vlobing.

BP, Cargill, ADM, Exxon -- you've seen the commercials. Now watch the PARODY, citizens.

There's a new Musharraf in town.

That's right, partners. Pakistani President, General Pervez Musharraf, will now be known, henceforth, as Pakistani President, Pervez Musharraf. He relinquished control of Pakistan's Army, which means he will have to live out his public life with the shame of being only the President of Pakistan.

In his place, Musharraf appointed Ashfaq Kiyani, who was head of Pakistan's intelligence bureau. According to analysts, Kiyani is nothing but Musharraf light: same great autocratic rule, only half the controversy!

Politics in the Middle East can be complicated. And so, commentator Gretchen Morris brings you another installment of her popular segment: What in the World: Pakistan!

A Genocide by any other name...

The Turkish massacre of over 1 million Armenians. Congress is currently working on a bill that would label this 1919 killing a Genocide.

In the Mahmoud for love.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, that is! The president of Iran spoke at my Alma Mater, Columbia U. And during his speech he told me something I didn't know: there are no gay people in Iran! But that's just one bit out of many. This guy has a million of 'em! So here is the complete audio of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's Speech.

What in the World - Alberto Gonzales.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said goodbye to the country on Friday. On Monday he will step down, leaving America with a hole in its heart that can only be filled by a warrantless wiretapping program.

Gonzales, it seems like only yesterday when you were first sworn in to uphold the Constitution. In honor of that, Correspondent Gretchen Morris presents her series: What in the World - Alberto Gonzales.

And now... Ask A Hippie - September 11th.

Well, that time of year has come around again: the anniversary of September 11th. Let's see, Nancy Pelosi is making an ecumenical prayer, George Bush is talking about Iraq... everyone has their own personal way to remember 9/11. If you're having trouble figuring out an appropriate commemorative act, just pull up an afghan, open your third eye, and Ask A Hippie.

Economic outlook not so good.

Just like the slap bracelet, Bel Biv Devoe, and In Living Color, the newest retro trend to hit America is the Economic Recession.

Remember the 80s-90s? I know I do. And who can forget that most expressionist of Colognes from Calvin Klein...

Recession. Shhhh...
