...popular... And you'll have the franchise fans as well. I was a naysayer at one time, saying that it's too old and we're over it, but then I watched the gathering media story and I have been converted. I have drunk the Sex and the City Kool...
...Recently, members of mainstream entertainment industry also seem to have drank the Obama Kool-Aid. The “Yes We Can” video, which features the Black Eyed Peas’ Will.I.Am, Scarlett Johansson, and other celebrities chanting Obama’s New Hampshire primary speech, has popped up all over the internet.

Or maybe a meeting of rap rivals like Nas and Jay-Z, or LL Cool J and Kool Moe Dee, or—well, insert your favorite beef here. A little after midnight that evening, a crowd from the Yankees-Red Sox game belched out of Fenway Park. Whether the game had finished, who had won or lost—I did not know the answers to these questions, and still...
