• Hey Rev. Jeremiah Wright: Your Sex Scandal Is Not Helping

  Lemme get this straight, Reverend Jeremiah Wright: first, you give the Republicans the only real ammo they've ever had to go after Obama, who was supposed to be your friend, and then you made it worse by not shutting up about it and going away. You continued to give incendiary press conferences and even had to go after Obama to save face. Now, what's this? A sex scandal? And in the most unholy of ways? Thanks a big whopping lot, jackass...

• Pras On Homelessness, Obama, Oprah, and ... Sex?

  Scanner Katie recently interviewed Pras Michel of The Fugees, about his latest project, Skid Row, a documentary in which Pras goes undercover for 9 days and nights as a homeless person in downtown LA’s notorious Skid Row. I met up with Pras in a hotel lobby in Manhattan to discuss the film.

• Minor Detail About Reverend Wright's 9/11 Sermon: He Didn't Say It!

  If you don't live in a cave, you've probably heard about the "controversial," "inflammatory," "over the top," "Obama Pastor" Reverend Jeremiah Wright. He's the preacher whose "fiery" speeches got Obama in a whole lot of trouble with white people. (He's also On Our "To-Do" List, but that's not germane right now.) Wright really got slammed for his  9/11 sermon. The poor media was so busy bombarding us with propaganda and manipulating video, they TOTALLY forgot to, you know, like show us the context, or, like tell the truth or whatever. Turns out, when Reverend Wright was making those the "Anti-American" "unpatriotic" statements about 9/11, he was actually quoting someone else. You'll never guess which left wing angry black man white former U.S. Ambassador really uttered the words. Read More...
