It’s simple math, stoopid. Two plus two equals five…and a popular vote victory for Hillary!

If Thursday night’s debate was a movie, it would be American Gangster: you’re super excited for it, everything points to carnage and death and fantastic-ness, you’re pretty sure you have a classic on your hands. You got two stars at the top of their game set to duke it out on screen. But what d’ya [...]

I gotta be quick here, but I thought I would throw out a couple music videos you’re unlike to see on MTV anytime soon, lest they disturb their apparently uninterrupted idiot programming. I should also note I have seen both of these artists live, and they provided (along with Clipse) for the best hip hop [...]

He argued that al-Qaeda should be “praying as many times as possible” for Obama to win in ‘08, amongst other things. The attack begs the question: why is Howard [...]

Rejoice! She’s back with ‘Bird Flu’, the second song to leak thus far off her hopefully soon to be released second album. If you don’t know M.I.A., get familiar.
