...same as having an expiration date. Fortunately for Soulja Boy, he appears to understand this. He makes the most of what will probably be his only moment on the national stage, blurting out as many words as possible before gasping for breath. The straight-off-the-Casio steel drum melody treads a fine line between menace and stupidity, and the lyric “Superman that ho” is the phrase that launched a thousand urbandictionary.com searches. What’s not to love? Grade: A Rihanna – “Umbrella” Live-sounding drums...
...machines have come a long way from the first karts pieced together from steel tubing and lawnmower engines in late 1950s California. Sure, karts typically lack gears, and there's no suspension to speak of. But there's often a push-button starter, a hydraulic disk brake, and a tiny onboard computer that measures everything from average speed to G-force.

They will not be the ones who will bring the Democrats full circle to the days of Truman and Kennedy. And Hillary will do so as a woman, as the supposed nightmare of every gun-toting, white, male NASCAR fan. She isn’t the be-all, end-all, but her presidency will be transformative, not only for the Democratic Party, but for the sexual and regional divides that have so characterized our recent...
