among aficionados of Dick Cheney jokes (of which, Kathleen reminds us, Yosef remains champion): the contents of his “man-sized safe” have been revealed to contain, in part, a letter of resignation should he become incapacitated due to health reasons.

Welcomes Tom Breihan to Stereogum. We only ask that he attempt to top his atrocious current event reviewism at Pitchfork. Behold the master, on the new Jigga/Yeezy platter:

In the past week, Internet sleuths have pointed out that the release of many Jay-Z albums have coincided with some national or international calamity, 9/11 not excluded. Watch the Throne is no exception: its release on the same day as yet another catastrophic stock market downturn has led some critics to conclude that the pair’s boasts of obscene wealth is out of step with the times. That’s a fair case to make.

Watch the Throne is no exception: its release on the same day as yet Robbie Keane’s signing with the LA Galaxy has led some other MLS’ team fans to conclude that the pair’s boasts of obscene wealth is out of step with the times. That’s a fair case to make.

That’s a fair case to make.

We kid!

I am currently off and away. Some sort of high school reunion- Pinko was indeed not birthed directly from the forehead of a tracksuit magnate, and had to be institutionally schooled. The number of said reunion will remain unnamed and unannotated. Attempts are being made by ourselves to contribute >50% ass to efforts for said event, this the proportion of ass available for your enjoyment is reduced in like amounts. We will be back soon and remember what happens at school reunion stays at school reunion!!!
