Justin Bieber Taps Reakwon To Help Him Find His Inner Shaolin

So, yesterday I saw a Tweet about Raekwon linking up with Justin Bieber and Kanye West, and I was like wtf??? I mean, a Kanye duo with the 17 year-old pop star isn’t that far fetched…but “the Chef?” Let’s be honest, Rae’s swag doesn’t exactly scream Disney Channel, if you know what I mean.

But then I started thinking about it a little deeper. Justin Bieber could really benefit from Reakwon’s tutelage. After all, Bieber is from Canada. If he is going to survive the streets of America he’s going to have to really get a little more grimy. He may be rolling in the dough, but sooner or later America’s unemployed youth could turn on his happy ass. You never know, one day one of Bieber’s broke ass fans might try to jack him and he might have to tap into his inner Shaolin. I’m just saying.

So props to Reakwon for giving back to the youth of America.

Hell Nah: Congress Cuts $12 Billion From Food Stamp Fund

spotted at bossip!

During one of the worst national recessions the government has decided to cut $12 billion from the Food Stamp fund, potentially effecting 41 million Americans.

In the midst of Michelle Obama’s campaign to eat well, the Government has decided to help its citizens do just the opposite.

House members convened Tuesday to pass the multibillion-dollar bailout bill for cash-strapped states. The Bill requires that $12 billion be stripped from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as food stamps, to help fund programs that provide $10 billion to school districts. The money will be used to rehire laid-off teachers or ensure that more teachers won’t be let go before the new school year begins, keeping more than 160,000 teachers on the job, the Obama administration says.

Connecticut Rep. Rosa DeLauro, blasted the move as “a bitter pill to swallow” but still voted yes.

“I fought very hard for the food assistance money in the Recovery Act, and the fact is that participation in the food stamps program has jumped dramatically with the economic crisis, from 31.1 million persons to 38.2 million just in one year,” DeLauro said in an e-mail sent to FoxNews.com. “But I know that states across the nation and my own state of Connecticut also desperately need these resources to save jobs and avoid Draconian cuts to essential services for low income families.”

The Food Research and Action Center said a family of four would see benefits drop about $59 per month starting in 2014.
