This is an actual headline from the Washington Times:
"Hip-hop legend MCA passes on; Obama says not a word"
MCA's passing was very sad, but what the hell?
If this is a serious line of questioning, I'm looking forward to Mitt Romney's frozen, unknowing, go-with-a-smile expression when the Washington Times asks him if he's aware of the Beastie Boys. If he knows at all, my money is on Romney using the term "hip-hoppers."
