“Domino” - Jessie J
Jessie J is one of Britain’s finest pop exports in years and I like to think of her as the British version of Katy Perry—only with loads more personality and, well, talent. I say this because in may ways she has been packaged and delivered much like Katy Perry has. She possesses a similar offbeat style, though much less forced than that of Perry...

Deportations Leave Behind Thousands Of Children In... →
orwellian:
An unprecedented increase in the deportation of undocumented immigrants has left an estimated 5,100 children languishing in U.S. foster homes — a troubling figure that could triple in the coming years, according to a November report from a New York-based advocacy group. The…
