Rand Paul Lauded by R & B Singer John Legend for His Criminal Justice Work
Legend can only "hope" Hillary will be as good.
In a story from the May 7 issue of Rolling Stone that I was unable to find online, R&B singer John Legend talks of his attempt to "spotlight the staggering rise in the jailed population," as the story puts it.
Legend, the story says, "hopes that prison reform can be a bipartisan issue. 'Rand Paul has been talking about it, and we hope this is something that Hillary embraces as well.'"
Keep hoping, Mr. Legend!
This is at least the second time this year that Rolling Stone has singled out Paul for praise above Hillary on an issue of presumed concern to their audience, having previously done so on marijuana issues.

In a story from the May 7 issue of Rolling Stone-
Stop right there.
Yeah, with their history they probably interviewed Vanilla Ice and attributed his remarks to John Legend.
And instead of calling for criminal justice reform, Vanilla Ice was probably asking for spare change.
Not uncommon for dead-tree publications to distribute periodicals with a future date.
And events that never happened.
I make up to $90 an hour working from my home. My story is that I quit working at Walmart to work online and with a little effort I easily bring in around $40h to $86h? Someone was good to me by sharing this link with me, so now i am hoping i could help someone else out there by sharing this link... Try it, you won't regret it!......

I hope he can get the Queen of Soul's endorsement.
Maybe Big Boi will get a chance to update his quote!
Hope in one hand, shit in the other. See which fills up first.
Yeah, my dad told me that when I was little. He probably should have explained metaphors first.
True story: When my sister was about 10 or 11, she was doing some watering near where my dad had placed his shoes. She kept overspraying and getting his shoes wet. He shouted at her, "That's it, why don't you just fill them with water?"
Which she proceeded to do.
My sister, even in adulthood, is one of the most literal-minded people I know.
I didn't see the 'by' in the title on the first read and was confused by the fact I'd never heard of Legend's criminal justice work.
Legend can only "hope" Hillary will be as good.
Because that's who he's voting for because he's black and IT'S THE LAW.
He's just trying to hold her cankles to the fire.
Even if he get's zero votes from them, faint praise from black people could be more than enough to help him get over with the undecided guilt-ridden whites.
My best friend's mother-in-law makes $85 /hour on the internet . She has been out of work for 5 months but last month her pay was $16453 just working on the internet for a few hours.
