...staunch advocate for wounded vets. His pick for Housing and Urban Development Secretary, Shawn Donovan, has presided over a huge expansion of affordable housing in New York City. And his nominee for Energy Secretary, Stephen Chu (announced Monday), is a Nobel-winning physicist who preaches the gospel of efficiency. It's hard to imagine a starker contrast with their counterparts in the Bush Administration...
...Augustine of Hippo (354-430) was probably the most influential Christian thinker after the Gospel writers and St. Paul. It is to him that we owe such doctrines as original sin and predestination.

His second rapping track “Karaoke” features the cool and haunting background vocals of a gospel choir, but is butchered by the inexplicable and crazy yelling of DJ Khaled. “Thr33 Ringz” starts off with potential but quickly slides into a complacent reliance on the same synth-infused beats that bring nothing new to the game that T-Pain once reinvented.
