...That,” it becomes sorrowfully clear that self-centeredness à la Mr. West does not necessarily make a good rap video. The video begins with the St. Louis rapper nodding off in a chair, followed by a zoom-in on a table in the foreground. A stack of magazines lies on the table, the content of which seems to entirely focus on—guess who?—Chingy. Tabloid pictures of Chingy clubbing with friends and waxing his car, for example, come alive as he joins BFFs Bobby Valentino and Ludacris in stepping...
Hillary’s platform notes that we should measure school improvement based on the year-to-year performance of students rather than by how schools with disparate local funds stack-up against each other.

The kids are back in school—thank God—but the damned hybrid doesn’t handle well...
...emerged in search of food at markets that were opening at last. Residents picked through the ashes of a massive outdoor market that had been burned to the ground. Some tied string around the empty plots that were once their stalls; in one, the only recognizable remnants were a stack of charred and smoldering onions...
