Note: The Jena 6 Episode is up now. Check it out here. I've been thinking for the past few days on this Jena 6 case. I know that on the 20th there is going to be a nationwide action, centered in Jena, Louisiana. I can't be there, but I feel like we can still do something. So I'm working on an episode.

Kanye's album has leaked. Oh dear God. Sorry that's the best I could do with 5 minutes. That in the back is supposed to be a broken sprinkler, leaking out all of Kanye's songs. Thank you to each and every one of you that sent me frantic IMs, called me, texted me, etc. to break this important news. I truly appreciate it. Hands up if you didn't see this coming, seriously.
