President Obama Announces End of Combat Operations In Iraq (Video)

DateWednesday, September 1, 2010 at 10:15AM

No party. No parade. No "Mission Accomplished." No "V" for victory. The unnecessary war is over (kind of). Last one in Iraq who's not one of the 50,000 advisory troops left behind, please turn the light out before you go. (Via White House YouTube)

Classic Dr. Dre Appropriated By White Girls In Sweaters (Video)

DateTuesday, August 31, 2010 at 2:00PM

Or "The One Where I Write An Elaborate Ruse That's Just An Excuse To Post A Viral Video"

Watching Ava DuVernay's BET documentary about women in hip hop, "My Mic Sounds Nice," and reminiscing about the style of Hip Hop I grew up listening to, triggered an old memory for me. It was of me and my little sister listening to rap music, but trying not to pay attention to the lyrics out of the fear that to know the sexist truth would mean I would have to stop listening to rap altogether.

The One Where Kanye and Raekwon Trick Me Into Listening to Justin Bieber

DateTuesday, August 31, 2010 at 12:00PM

First off. Every guy I've ever seriously dated has loved Wu-Tang in an unhealthy, "I'm going to hide the Man With the Golden Arms because I can't listen to this crap anymore" way. This doesn't mean that I dislike the Wu. Au contraire! I actaully like a quite a bit of their music. And most of you know how I feel about Kanye (Love him. Love to hate him. I own the mixtapes and follow him on the Twitter.) So when I saw this on Gawker asking me if I'd like to listen to Justin Bieber's "Runaway Love" with Kanye and Raekwon I wanted to say, "God no." But I couldn't.

Question of the Day: President Obama, The Gulf Coast and Remembering Katrina (Video)

DateTuesday, August 31, 2010 at 11:00AM

Over the weekend President Obama was in New Orleans giving a speech on the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and the damage it caused. More than 1,800 people lost their lives in the storm and the flooding that took place afterwards. The clean-up and rebuilding effort was complex, slow and often didn't reach the people who needed help the most. Five years later there are still problems in gulf region (now further complicated by the BP oil leak), but the city remains resiliant, vibrant and steadfast.

Glenn Beck Is Sorry About Calling The President A Racist

DateMonday, August 30, 2010 at 11:30AM

Several months back professional yak-meister and political hustler Glenn Beck took a break out of his usual schedule of crying and bloviating to accuse President Barack Obama of having a deep seated hatred for white people -- despite being half white and raised by nothing but white people, including his mother and grandparents. Now Beck says he misspoke.

It gets so confusing sometimes.

Glenn Beck Is Coming To Washington, D.C.! Hide Your Sanity!

DateFriday, August 27, 2010 at 12:00PM

It could get lost.

Yahoo! News was so sweet to put together a handy guide about Glenn Beck's "Rally of Divine Providence that will lead to him making more money" going on in Washington, D.C. tomorrow. A lot of people are mad because ... well, no matter what he says, the whole she-bang sounds like a fancy advertisement for that cult he's busy working on. Also, the whole thing just happens to happen on the same day when slain Civil Rights Activist, fan of social justice, Martin Luther King Jr. had his "I Have A Dream" speech back in 1963. And it's happening in the same place -- the Lincoln Memorial.

Kimora Lee Simmons Fired For Using Up All The Photoshop?

DateThursday, August 26, 2010 at 12:30PM

Wednesday I heard that my favorite St. Louisian-turned-fashion model homeskillet (Florissant, Mo. STAND UP!) Kimora Lee Simmons was leaving Baby Phat, the fashion label she founded with former hubby, woodland gnome and defender of street "poets" Russell Simmons. Naturally, I was surprised. Why would Kiki leave the house that Kiki built? Well, Page Six says the diva cost too much money and used up all the damn Photoshop. Shocking ... well, not really. Kimora loves her some Photoshop.
