James And The Rant

James Blunt is back! Yes, the one and only man we love to hate more than…Nicolas Cage. I jest of course, Nick still wins.

Vine Takes On #SOTU

On Vine it was all about Obama’s State of the Union address (#SOTU for the connoisseurs) and snippets including random clapping, nose picking and a nap or two. I shall leave you with this presidential wink and a nod to the weekend!

It’s good news people!
