Where dem bloggers at?

As Rihanna asks us, where the bloggers at? And by bloggers, I mean blogger and by blogger, I mean me.

• The M.I.A. we all love (and missed) is back and pissing people off with this poignant video.
• NPR, seriously? If you're going to extol Nicki Minaj as "the first woman in several years to penetrate hip-hop's hyper-masculine mainstream," please do not also put her in a pop music and cultural phenomena category with a 16 year-old kid who has to cancel his concerts when middle school girls get out of hand (and inspires blogs like this).
• Republicans hate it when the government mandates health care, but they love mandating certain medical procedures for pregnant women, even if that woman was impregnated through rape or incest.
