Pretty sure this New York State Senate candidate is the first candidate to use an LMFAO song on their campaign page. Mindy Meyer, a Republican and the first Orthodox Jewish woman to run for a State Senate seat in New York, wants you to know one thing: “I can tell you one thing, I have no experience in corruption.” She has lots of experience in graphic design involving the color pink, however.

Hackers got a hold of about 3,000 emails from account shared between Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad and his wife. One conversation chronicles the ruthless leader’s iTunes purchases, and let’s just say it’s an interesting mix. Without further ado, here’s a selection of songs purchased be the al-Assads. (Spotify playlist!) [h/t The Atlantic]
Blake Shelton - “God Gave Me You”
Right Said Fred - “Don’t Talk Just Kiss”
New Order - “Bizarre Love Triangle”
The Cover Girls - “We Can’t Go Wrong”
Leona Lewis - “Hurt”
Chris Brown - “Look at Me Now ft. Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes”
LMFAO - “Sexy and I Know It”
Right Said Fred and “Sexy and I Know It”: The songs a dictator gets down to. That said, “Bizarre Love Triangle” seems like a somewhat fitting description of Assad’s rule.
