  • Trump Can’t Keep Obama’s Name out of His Mouth, and He’s Starting to Look Like Chris Brown

    I haven’t done a full count of how many times President Ass Face has said former President Barack Obama’s name, but at this point I’m expecting him to follow Obama out of a club in Los Angeles and force his way into Obama’s SUV.

  • Van Jones’ Invite to the Cookout Is Looking Suspect After Recent Trump Comments

    Van Jones will always be welcome at the cookout, but he might not always be entitled to a big red Solo cup of adult beverages if he keeps talking like this.

  • Betsy DeVos Is a Stupid, Stupid Person

    Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is so out of her depth, it’s not even funny anymore; it’s embarrassing. And pretty much this is what everyone who didn’t vote for President Asshat expected. On Monday, after Asshat met with leaders of HBCUs, DeVos, who is so pro-school choice that she damn near hates conventional public education, issued…

  • Even George W. Bush Is Against Trump’s Hatred of the Media 

    During his presidency, George W. Bush was destroyed by the media and Saturday Night Live on a consistent basis; but while we can all agree that Dubya wasn’t the brightest light bulb to ever light-bulb, he took his ribbing gracefully.

  • From ‘ShETHER’ to Just Blaze vs. Swizz Beatz to Mysonne’s Freestyle, It Was a Great Week to Be a Hip-Hop Head

    Although science has yet to chart the lunar moons of hip-hop, every so often the bling from 2Pac’s shiny-gold-bathtub era passes from behind the shade of Big L’s New York Yankees “fitted,” and the heavenly eclipse gives us a brief glow of what hip-hop used to be.
