Adam Carolla has one of the most popular "comedy" podcasts in the world. He should stick to comedy and leave the cultural analysis to people that actually have a clue.

A majority of Latinos in the U.S., according to a few surveys we were able to find, support gay marriage nowadays.

Another Puerto Rican man was murdered over the holiday. You've heard his name before, it was Hector. (In fact, Hector was one of more than 20 who were murdered in Puerto Rico.)

Ahh, Twitter. You're never boring (see how we wrote "You're" in that sentence?). This past week, several tweets began to demand the following: "Your in America, speak English."
