Ke$sha’s “Sleazy” plus NINs “Closer”?  It actually works!!!

Did my position on this issue evolve over the last 12 months? I am not ashamed to admit that it certainly did.

Lots of questions about the PandoDaily situation. To be completely honest, I’m a bit surprised by how this went down. I think Michael’s response is appropriate.
