The Show: Well, Suck. On. This.

Never ceases to amaze us that, 20 years after the fact, media pundits who enthusiastically advocated for the Iraq war are still much sought after for their opinions by the likes of CNN, MSNBC, NYT, FOX ETC.

Thomas Friedman is a case in point.

I wouldn’t necessarily say that this:

disqualifies you from any future public discourse but how about, at the very least, a mea fucking culpa.

For a little bit more detail try RNZ’s Midweek Mediawatch at the 25s mark and the whole of this episode of NPR’s On The Media (but particularly from 11m 10s).

And on with the show…

The Show: And whatever happened to Bubba Sparxxx?

Kudos to Denzel Curry for rhyming Bubba Sparxxx with Rosa Parks in “Take_it_Back_v2”, one of our favourite couplets of the year so far.

“After dark the riot starts, way uglier than Bubba Sparxxx
Still tryin’ to raise the charts so I don’t have to push a shopping cart
You fell in love with Kali Ma, but now it’s time to take your heart
These niggas want to take it back like civil rights and Rosa Parks”
