I can't stop listening to this new song from Rick Ross's Maybach Music Group. Oh, excuse me, that's "The Untouchable Empire" Maybach Music Group. It's a great song. (Man, do I love Gunplay's verse! "Where's YOUR sea bass?!") Of course, once again, the gorgeous, gorgeous beat these guys have come up with is offset by some high-post ridiculousness (Ross says "the square root of a kilo is me," says Ross) and lots of unashamed cliche. The "Untouchable" honorific is as good an example of this as any. It's not exactly an original choice.

"As I said, we don’t know how this will go. But it’s hard not to feel a sense of foreboding—and to worry that the nation’s already badly damaged faith in the Supreme Court’s ability to stand above politics is about to take another severe hit." —Paul Krugman is his good, gloomy, all-too-probably right self today. And while we all play seer and try to figure out just what justice Kennedy might be thinking, here are ten great songs (and one just so-so song, and one really dreadfully terrible song) about trying to see into the future, and the futility, usually, of trying to do so.

Have you heard this new Action Bronson song? It's great. And yes, simple. Constructed around a Spanish horns sample looped up by producer Tommy Mas, it doesn't have a hook or a chorus or anything. In making such a song, one called "Simple Man," I mean, Bronson takes his place in a long, if not always proud tradition in pop music. There are lots of "Simple Man" songs. They are usually quite simple, and they usually start with a sentence right along the lines of, "I am just a simple man." (Kudos to Bronson for avoiding that.)

Now that we've looked at presidential pets and favorite foods, let's explore their honeymoons. It's difficult to judge which has been the most romantic presidential honeymoon in history; possibly a draw between the Nixons' canned pork-and-beans for breakfast or the honeymoon hours spent by the newlywed wife of Woodrow Wilson compiling the index of a new edition of his book Congressional Government, A Study in American Politics. In any case, if we were to rank presidents in order of greatness of their honeymoons, it would give us a system that might place otherwise mediocre or downright awful presidents at the top, and America's best leaders near the bottom.

"Most women act as though they're sexual Olympians, as though they're doing the men in their lives the greatest of favors merely by presenting themselves like a downed deer strapped to the hood of a car. Some of you are deluding yourselves…. Like, maybe grab a mirror and spend some time learning how your own body works. It's nice, too, when you don't treat our semen like it's battery acid." —Chris Jones, Esquire.
