President Barack Obama said pointblank that he knew nothing about rapper Jay-Z and Beyonce’s high-profile vacation to Cuba this month – a trip that caused conservatives to lose their minds by implying that Obama somehow arranged the celebrity couple’s visit to the communist island. “This is not something the White House was involved with.

Around here, we call it a “Pull Up Pal.” It’s your “boy,” your “girl,” your “bestie, BFF, roomie,” anybody who cares enough about you to turn you around when you’re about to say or do something really stupid.
