usda resignation controversy
So, here's what happened. The USDA forced the resignation of an African-American employee who may have made some racist comments about white farmers about a quarter-century ago when she wasn't employed by the federal government, and now they are re-thinking that decision.

david cameron visits obama
New British Prime Minister David Cameron made his first visit to Washington and came bearing gifts, including a painting by a graffiti artist. I don't know about you, but if you look at the painting, it looks like these graffiti artists need to learn how to spell.

Whales are just mammals, man. Sometimes maybe they want to party on a big yacht.
jimmy johnson joins survivor
Wow, so football coach Jimmy Johnson is still alive, and that TV show Survivor is still on the air.

I'm pretty sure this is a different USDA than the one that approves the cuts of meat that you buy at the grocery store. This one is even better...it's presented by Young Jeezy.
