Street Cred

Great episode of the Daily Show (something rare these days post Steve Colbert and most of their finest reporters leaving)....

A recent 60 Minutes interview with a leading rap artist (who, is hardly important) featured him saying he wouldn't "snitch" on a guy next door on his street even if he knew he was a serial killer. Yikes. So this is what one of the new anchors on the Daily Show had to say on this phenomenon...

You get street cred for not snitchin'
You write rap songs about it
You can trade that street cred... for real cred
You use that cred and move away... from that street
'cause if it's the kinda street you get cred by not talkin' to the cops... that's a scary street



In other news, scientists did find a planet that could support life! Kind of exciting. It's in this sorta "Cinderella zone" of distance from its own sun that means it could have water in a liquid state. Unfortunately, it would take our current fastest ships 400,000 years to get there. Even at the speed of light, it would take 20 years.
