See, What Happened Was Rmoney Messed With One Of The Three F’s You Don’t Mess With- Food, Finances, & Most Importantly Family. Money Boo Boo Kept Fucking With Family. You Gon’ Learn Today News: Former president Jimmy Carter’s grandson helped leak video of Mitt Romney at a private fundraiser to Mother Jones Magazine, the younger Carter told NBC News and New York Magazine’s Daily Intel blog. James Carter IV helped connect Mother Jones reporter David Corn with video of Romney at a fundraiser saying, among other things, that it is not his “job” to win over the 47 percent of voters committed to President Obama, because they are “dependent on government” and he will “never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.” Read more here.

Happy Tuesday POU family! Check out the links and come back to discuss. Now for today’s Tuesday Trivia….

What 1988 R&B classic is Nas sampling in his current single, “Bye Baby”?

To get a pass from the “bad chair/Lay-Z-Boy/sofa/sectional/lounge” you must provide the song title and artist first (without using “teh Google” or “teh Wiki”). If no one is able to guess the correct answer I am keeping the pass for myself.

Can’t recall the answer? Take a listen and see if you can figure it out…
