Cohen Goin’ Viral
Brief but blistering remarks from U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) last week were viewed nearly 1.7 million times on social media as of press time.
He said President Donald Trump’s misunderstanding of the Constitution is “unfathomable.” He also ripped Trump’s request for a $90 million military-style parade for this birthday, saying the parade was only to “appease a man’s ego to let him think for awhile that he’s Ghengis Khan or Napoleon.”
Slap Yo Mama
“We, the undersigned, respectfully urge Kroger to partner with award-winning baker Audrey Anderson to bring her iconic and irresistibly delicious ‘Slap Yo Mama’ Pie to freezer aisles nationwide,” reads a digital petition launched this month.
Anderson’s bakery, The Pie Folks, closed last year but she hinted something new was in the works. It’s not clear if this is it or if Anderson has anything to do with the petition. It, honestly, just sounds like people want Slap Yo Mama pies back in their pie holes.
