Monday's Talking Points

A little rap-heavy for your Monday...

• From an interview between Katie Couric and Lil Wayne:

  KC: "Do you ever think, gee, maybe I should ease up on the weed?
  LW: I never think that. I'm a rapper. And that's who I am, Miss Katie. And I am a gangster. And I do what I want. And I love to smoke.



• Rapper M.I.A. performed at last night's Grammy awards while nine months pregnant.


• The comic book superhero Superman was most likely named after Nietzsche's Übermensch, but in German translations of the comic books the character's name is just Superman. What's up with that?
