From my summer working at the Republican National Convention (RNC), I learned, among many other valuable truths, that Republicans sweat the details. From balloons that fell at the right time to a round stage that drove a news cycle, the organizers of the RNC spoke to mainstream America with expertise that was envied by their Democratic counterparts, crafting every detail of the massive production to effectively communicate the desired message to average Americans. Ask these average Americans what comes to mind when they hear the words “flip-flop” and the answer is likely...

...Actually, he's a two-bowling-ball kind of guy. On a recent stay in New Mexico, where he was shooting scenes for an Adam Sandler remake of The Longest Yard, Nelly took along a strike ball, a spare ball, customized shoes, a wrist brace and a sweat rag. "I need all the equipment," he said, before ordering mozzarella sticks, French fries, ranch dressing and several ice-filled buckets of Corona from an alley waitress.

Christina Aguilera, Tim McGraw, Ron Isley, Stephen Marley, Pharrell and Mase all drop by, and there's even a John Tesh sample on the hysterically over-the-top Heart of a Champion. Like all double releases, Sweat and Suit...

...brother Simon, can only watch her self-destruction in horror. Kennedy plumbs the mind-crushing depths of alcoholism and the painful bends of drying out, but allows the blessings Hannah finds in the company of fellow drunks: "We study to move like wirewalkers, all mesmerising tensions and hot sweat, we cut away our languages, our names, and in return for this tiny effort we are given our wonderful smile and it protects us, because God is on our side." Like God, Hannah too loves a drunk. His name is Robert Gardener, a dipsomaniac of a dentist, and though he seems...
