Mmmm... beeeer.

Writing for The New Yorker, John Kenney imagines the beer summit between President Obama, Officer James Crowley and Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. 

My friend Buffy posted this to facebook and now I’m posting it here cuz I loved it so much. Thanks Buffy!

Pinstripes bitches!

Jay-Z has 100 problems now that a bitch is, in fact, one.

Former G-Unit hustla The Game (not to be confused with this The Game) has decided to wage war against the one and only Hova (not to be confused with this Hova.) Blasting Jay-Z in recent freestyles, interviews and tweets (Damn that’s gangsta!) The Game has let known that he thinks it’s his turn on top of the hip hop mountain and that it’s time for Jay to retire somewhere in the French countryside with his girl Sasha “Beyonce” Fierce.

Beyond just being a lesson in Beef Development 101, International Relations professor Marc Lynch, writing for ForeignPolicy.com sees these recent developments as a potential metaphor for American hegemony.

It’s a fascinating article, tracing the various beefs Jay has fended off over the years (NAS!) while drawing parallels with America’s recent foreign policy issues. Before I even had a chance to come up with my own take on the subject, about a billion other bloggers did. Damn these internet cats are quick! Here’s what they had to say.

Also – I need to get a beef going with someone to step up my own game. Maybe Jordan Bimm will bite.

Also – I immediately regret calling The Game a bitch. I have no beefs with you sir.
