Well, no matter who’s home at the White House, I would hope that the at the home of the Commander and Chief someone would be able to answer the phone before it ran 6 times for over 20 seconds.

At the recent Brit awards, Rihanna performed last year’s smash Umbrella (yup, again) along with the Klaxons - a money British band who also had a great year with their debut album Myths of the Near Future that got remixed to hell and enjoyed great success in the club (like Rihanna).
But unfortunately the result of [...]

(Disclaimer - you are about to see some of the worst camera-phone pictures ever.)
