A walk through my neighborhood a few days ago and ran into an eternal truth in a bit of an unlikely place: “Presidents are temporary. Wu-Tang is forever.”
“The jury only deliberated 67 minutes before returning a verdict of not guilty. One juror later said: "We wouldn't have taken so long if we hadn't stopped to drink pop."
