Rhymefest Loses Race & Disputes Vote Count

8 apr 2011, 10:29

Che "Rhymefest" Smith lost the election for 20th Ward Alderman to South Side Alderman Willie Cochran. The Grammy Award winning artist received praises from his constitutes and the residents who occupy the South Side of Chicago. However, it was not enough for the more politically experienced Cochran.[/p]Rhymefest received 45 percent of the vote to incumbent Willie Cochran's 55 percent. During the race, Cochran referred to Rhymefest as a gangster rapper and concentrated more on his rap sheet than his actual rap lyrics.[/p]According to 'Fest, his opponent's total was greatly inflated due to voter fraud, a matter he is currently attempting to prove. "We want to ensure that it's fair and that every vote is counted, and that people who didn't live in the ward of vacant lots weren't people who were voting. We want to make sure that the 20th Ward voices are heard ... We concede nothing."[/p]Alderman Cochran responded to 'Fest's allegations, saying that the Board of Elections will confirm his victory.[/p]

"The judges of the election, poll watchers, people at the Board of Elections, none of them are conspiring to create some kind of fake win," argued Cochran. "This was won in the field, in the battlefield. It was won by voters going into the booth doing what they do, and that is 53 percent for Willie Cochran."

PETA GOES AFTER FLAVOR FLAV

7 apr 2011, 17:51

PETA is taking the bad press Flav received from his newly open chicken joint to further ridicule him by writing the following letter to the rapper/reality star.

Dear Flav,[/p]Greetings from PETA! After reading about the debacle involving employees of your fried-chicken restaurant in Clinton, Iowa, whose paychecks bounced, we're writing to encourage you to bounce one more thing—cruelty—and make your restaurant vegetarian.[/p]If you thought your roast was bad, wait until you hear how chickens who are raised to be roasted are treated! Chickens are arguably the most abused animal on the planet. In the United States, more than 8 billion chickens are killed for their flesh each year, and 90 percent of these animals spend their lives in total filth and confinement—from the moment they hatch until the day they are killed.[/p]More chickens are raised and killed for food than all other land animals combined, yet not a single federal law protects chickens from abuse—even though two-thirds of Americans say that they would support such a law. Chickens on factory farms are bred and drugged to grow so large so quickly that their legs and organs can't keep up, making heart attacks, organ failure, and crippling leg deformities common.[/p]At the slaughterhouse, they are hung upside down, and their fragile legs are forced into shackles. Almost all chickens are still conscious when their throats are cut, and many are scalded to death in feather-removal tanks after missing the throat-cutter.[/p]There's no reason to cash in on this cruelty. You can have all the same menu items as you did before—minus the meat. Delicious faux chicken is available wholesale from such companies as Gardein, and loads of palate-pleasing recipes are available free on our website: http://www.peta.org/living/vegetarian-living/recipes/. Faux fried chicken is as mouthwatering as it is healthy and humane, and we guarantee that it will have your customers yelling, "Yeah, boy!"[/p]We hope that you will choose to reflect the true "flavor of love" by making your restaurant vegetarian. If we can be of any assistance, please don't hesitate to contact me at MichelleC@peta.org.[/p]Best wishes,[/p]Michelle Cho
