Busta Rhymes has had a rough time lately. The hip-hop powerhouse spent the past three years dealing with a string of arrests - and subsequent weapons and assault charges - as well as the death of his friend and bodyguard, Israel Ramirez, who was shot while guarding Rhymes' jewelry on the video set of his 2006 song "Touch It." But after some soul-searching (and court-mandated community service), Rhymes has returned with a new image, a new sound and a new album. Back on My B.S., out May 19, features guest appearances by a glittering cast of stars ranging from...

...Washington critiques of the Republican Party as powerless, leaderless and rudderless - the new Donner party - are not very illuminating. Minority parties always look weak and inept in the penalty box. Sure, it can be comical to watch Republican National Committee (RNC) gaffe machine Michael Steele riff on his hip-hop vision for the party or Texas Governor Rick Perry carry on about secession or Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann explain how F.D.R.'s "Hoot-Smalley" Act caused the Depression (the Smoot-Hawley Act, a Republican tariff bill, was enacted before F.D.R.'s presidency), but haplessness does not equal hopelessness...
