Declares His Run For Presidency in 08'Barack Obama announced his bid for president Saturday, a black man evoking Abraham Lincoln's ability to unite a nation and a Democrat portraying himself as a fresh face capable of leading a new generation."Let us transform this nation," he told thousands shivering in the cold at the campaign's kickoff.Obama, 45, is the youngest candidate in the Democrats' 2008 primary field dominated by front-runner Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and filled with more experienced lawmakers. In an address from the state capital where he began his elective career 10 years ago, the first-term U.S. senator sought to distinguish himself as a staunch opponent of the Iraq war and a White House hopeful whose lack of political experience is an asset.VISIT BARACKOBAMA.COM TO LEARN MORE!

Autopsy Reveals Leverts Death; Accidental Drug Mix 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Autopsy Reveals Leverts Death; Accidental
Drug MixA coroner in Geauga County, Ohio said the death of Gerald Levert last fall was due to an accidental combination of prescription narcotics and over-the-counter drugs.The drugs found in his bloodstream included a fatal mix of the narcotic pain relievers Vicodin, Percocet and Darvocet, along with anxiety medication Xanax and two over-the-counter antihistamines, said Geauga County Coroner Kevin Chartrand. The official cause of death was acute intoxication.According to family spokesperson Andy Gibson, Levert had been taking the pain medication because of chronic pain from a lingering shoulder problem and surgery in 2005 to repair a severed Achilles tendon. Gibson said Levert took Xanax for anxiety attacks. The autopsy was conducted by the Cuyahoga County coroner's office and turned in to Chartrand on Thursday.

Clipse Working On New Mixtape; Pusha Disses Lil' Wayne 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Clipse Working On New Mixtape
; Pusha Disses Lil' Wayne
The Clipse and Lil Wayne have been exchanging words — subliminally or not so subliminally — for some time now, and last week Pusha T added more fuel to the existing fire. It seems Push wasn't too happy with recent comments Wayne made about DJ Drama. Wayne told us Dram needed to "smarten up" after the DJ was knocked by the cops a couple of weeks ago in a mixtape sting. "When people say things like that, that just means they ain't thorough and they don't know nothing about the street side of things," Pusha responded. "When people tell you 'smarten up' when something bad happens to you, that just probably means they ain't no hustler and they been lying in their raps and stuff. 'Cause they liars." And if you didn't know who Push was talking about — since he didn't exactly call Weezy out by name — he added: "And they kissers." ...Pusha and Malice also had some other things to get off their chests.
