Just because his wife is Secretary of State, that doesn't mean Bill Clinton can't visit Argentina and pay off bouncers at a strip club so he can have a completely private strip show before dining with the country's president. Which is exactly what he did with Miss Andrea Rincon here. I like to believe democracy was championed, but something tells me there wasn't a vote on whether the former president could take his pants off. Then again, a little executive privilege never hurt anyone. (Past...

Little Stevie Wonder
Very few of the current “recording artists” can truly be considered musicians. Not only in our culturally depraved generation, but throughout time. Not every name playing musical chairs atop the Billboard chart at the end of the week is that of a person who has made it their duty to master music and perfect their art. True, some have remarkable voices and occasionally one or two may excel and take their craft to a slightly higher level and wider audience. They then become representative figure
