Don Lemon Definitely Will Never Invite Talib Kweli To Sunday Brunch
A conversation in Ferguson today between Don Lemon and Talib Kweli quickly got heated. Not “We’re bout to fight” heated, but definitely “Don’t sit me next to that wack n*gga on the plane home” heated.

No Future In Ciara's Future (Except The Baby She Named Future Jr, Of Course)
The future looks grim for Future and Ciara, apparently. Because there’s no Future in Ciara’s future. (Except Future Jr, of course.) Sometimes I think one of the ways God shows us his sense of humor (other than allowing Ann Coulter to exist) is when situations occur that call for one of those waaaaaaaaay too easy puns.…
