In a clever remix of Drake’s “No Lie”, Wiz Khalifa has released the rather interesting rendition, “DON’T LIE”. The song has a very different feel from the singsongy Drake and 2Chainz version. It’s unique and all it’s own. It is not your average remix. There is a level of originality and a sophistication in the flow that challenges the song’s original version. Some are even suggesting that Wiz’s version bests the original Drake and 2 Chainz duet. Actually, by “Some”, we mean ourselves! Quite frankly, we were never huge fans of “No Lie” with Drake and 2Chainz. Wiz’s new version is, in our opinion, far superior. Don’t Lie is much shorter and the video that accompanies the song is clearly produced on a smaller budget. However, between the two, we would blast Wiz, over Drake’s, any day!

As half of the dynamic duo (of Venus and Serena), she has already solidified her place in history but with her 5th Wimbledon victory, Serena becomes the first woman in her 30’s to win the tournament since, Martina Navratilova.

On July 4th, as the nation was celebrating Independence Day, Chris Rocked sparked controversy by tweeting: “Happy white peoples independence day the slaves weren’t free but I’m sure they enjoyed fireworks”. Some, failed to see the humor in Rock’s tweet. Conservative bloggers, in particular took great umbrage at the statement. The responses were often sarcastic references mocking, Rock’s slam to our nation that noted that our nation has it’s first african american president.

Chris Rock has been known for his particularly perceptive social commentary and in our opinion, this is no different. Chris Rock noted in his tweet that the slaves had yet to be freed, when the Declaration of Independence was originally signed. It highlights a contradiction that African Americans have been forced to wrestle with, since the inception of our nation.

There are a handful of ways to understand American history. We can obsess intently on our nation’s sins and develop a level of anger with America; We can adopt the perspective of the pollyanna and pretend that America is perfect and without blemish. And we can lash out at those, like Rock that draw attention to the obvious flaws in that perspective; Or We can understand that America is and always has been, great although it has never been perfect.

As Rock’s critics noted, America, eventually freed the slaves and today we have a black President but we have only moved beyond our past by acknowledging its existence and acknowledging that our past behaviors were in conflict with the ideals that established our nation. Comedians like Rock are often our conscience, forcing us to face hard truths that we’d rather ignore.

Lebron James has silenced his critics and ushered in a new era in modern basketball. There can only be one King at a time, and this is Lebron’s time to reign.

On the heels of it’s new Microsoft Tablet Announcement, Microsoft has unveiled another weapon in the war against Apple and Android. They are preparing to unleash an army of new cell phones, onto the world. The phones will be powered by Microsoft’s Windows 8 operating system, which will reach across platforms from the desktop computers of most businesses, to tablets and now, onto phones. This provides users with a seamless platform and constantly familiar interface, no matter what device you happen to be using. Microsoft is addressing a bit of a disconnect that often bothers users, when their phones operate in a totally different fashion from their other devices. Now, when you play your xbox, use your desktop, play with your tablet or use your phone, the interface will always be essentially the same.

Features for the new Metro style phones include, Microsoft’s trademark tiles, which distinguish it’s phones from virtually every other mobile device. The live tiles display constant information from the apps which operate in the background. Now users can resize those tiles to reflect their importance in their lives. Improved screen resolutions will provide crisper images and multi core processors mean faster performance. Microsoft also seems intent on tempting consumers to get rid of their wallets, with their new e-wallet feature. The feature exists on other phones, but Microsoft promises better usage for consumers that no longer want to carry cash and instead pay for items using, just their cell phones.

MICROSOFT’S NEW TABLET: Windows 8 Works on Both The New Cellphones and The Tablets

Apparently, Mitt Romney had no interest in Marco Rubio as a Vice President. Despite, the GOP’s significant troubles with Latino Voters and it’s persistent lack of diversity, Mitt Romney saw no need to even vet Marco Rubio for consideration. But All of That has changed, NOW! The Romney Campaign has endured a blistering few hours of disgust, from those within the Republican Party, as it announced that it wasn’t considering the rising star. They have since reversed their previous disinterest in Marco Rubio.

Last Week, when President Obama announced that he will no longer permit the deportation of children or young adults brought into the country illegally, he was hailed as a hero. Crowds of occasionally sobbing and overwhelmingly enthused young people were shown on the nightly news broadcasts. It put the GOP in a difficult bind to explain the harshness of it’s primary rhetoric, towards immigration and proposals like the Dream Act. Marco Rubio has been the party’s most prominent Latino representative. The unpopularity of the GOP’s harsh immigration positions, have made his visibility even more important.  Announcing that Romney was never even considering Marco Rubio was immediately seen as an insult and politically suicidal for a party, already suffering from the withering blows of rejection from the Latino community.

Stunned by the ignorance of such an obvious political error, party leaders from Michele Bachman onward, urged the Romney campaign to rethink Rubio. In the last 18 minutes, Mitt Romney has suddenly announced that he is indeed vetting Marco Rubio. In response to claims that those in his own campaign were reporting that Rubio was not in contention, Romney said; “I can’t imagine who such people are, but I can tell you this: They know nothing about the vice presidential selection or evaluation process,”  “The story was entirely false. Marco Rubio is being thoroughly vetted as part of our process
