The problem with nerds

I don't often get on here and rant about gamers,video games,systems and how much I dislike the wii but sometimes I need to let off some steam. I really,really tend to dislike gamers in general. There are quite a few reasons behind that. It ranges from the rampant fanboyism of people who will never play an XBOX game because an XBOX isn't a Playstation to the continually unsportsmanlike conduct of players online to some people being just plain crybabies and sore losers. Of course my biggest problems with gamers happens to be the blatant,accepted and even encouraged amounts of racism,sexism,homophobia...

Detroit is getting a new bridge!

It feels good to post something nice about my city and this is one of those good times. Despite our budget woes and other assorted problems we have somehow been able to find a way to reach an agreement with Canada to finally build a second bridge over the Detroit river. Or at least that's the rumor that's going around since everyone has found out about transportation secretary Ray Lahood,Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Governor Rick Snyder scheduling a "signing ceremony" and photo op...

umm...what?

Have you ever watched the show "Game of Thrones"? If so,you're just like me and a couple million other people. One thing I love about the show is that they don't shy away from violence. It's on there and it's pretty awesome at times. If you were watching in season one you may have missed quite possibly one of the weirdest things to ever appear on TV........a beheaded former president. In season one episode ten,Joffrey points out to his bride to be the head of her father who he has just had killed. A few spots down from her father is the head of former president George W Bush with extra long hair....

Detroit is a town with a lot of things going on in it and obviously not all of them are good. Illegal dumping happens to be one of the things going on here and it's a huge problem. Not only does it make the city look bad but it's a health and safety hazard. A couple of years ago I nearly had to hit a guy with a baseball bat for trying to illegally dump his random trash near my house and then getting offended when I told him to grab his shit and leave. Needless to say cooler heads prevailed and I'm not currently in prison for assault with a deadly weapon. Thanks to our illegal dumping problems...

It's been a few days since I've been on here ruining your day with ridiculousness. Of course this is because I've been doing other things like trying to find a real job and maybe one day a life that doesn't suck. One of the jobs that I'm not qualified for is truck driver. I'm not qualified because I do not have any form of a CDL and I can't drive anything bigger than an F-150. However,I do know that the life of a trucker isn't an easy one. They have weird hours and are often lonely. Also,they occasionally...

Terry Jones is still an idiot.

Some of you may know pastor Terry Jones for being a man who preaches Christianity while doing the exact opposite of anything a good Christian would do. Some of you may know him for his fantastic facial hair combo.

If you're in Michigan,you may know him for insulting everyone in Dearborn by saying that the...

End of an era

The other day I wrote about how Thaddeus McCotter went from what was sure to be an easy and decisive win in his reelection bid to being in a heated battle thanks to a ton of fraudulent signatures. It turns out that things are much worse than they originally appeared to be. I say this because as I mentioned in my last blog he now has GOP challengers coming out of the woodwork to fight him for his spot. I also say this because congressman McCotter has officially ended his reelection bid and will not attempt to keep the seat that he has held for 10 years. Could he have ended it because the state...

Turbulent times for Thad McCotter

What you may not know however is that he's running for reelection this year but will be doing it as a write in candidate. Why...

One thing that has always bugged me is the fact that so many people believe in conspiracy theories.

Basically what I'm saying is that most of these theories are dumb.

Newt Gingrich owes me money!

It's been about a month since the world has heard from or cared about Newt Gingrich and cable news stations are probably happy about that. Newt gave up his bid to become president in April and has kept a relatively low profile since. Of course now we know that the low profile may be because Newt owes a few people a lot of money. Among the people that he owes are former republican rival and pizza maven Herman Cain and quite possibly my favorite website,Twitter. Want to know who else he owes money to?

I think I'm almost at my breaking point when it comes to idiots in this country. It took about 25 years but I'm there now. I was never one of those people that believed that as soon as we got a black president that racism would magically end. In fact I always figured it would get worse and I've reached the conclusion that I was unfortunately right. The election and then presidential reign of Barack Obama has given a lot of people the courage to be more open about their racism and bigotry. What shocks me however is the creative and insane ways that people are showing their true colors. We're getting...

Video of the Week

There is pretty much nothing this week that'll top whats going on in these videos. If you somehow missed it today,the president came out in support of gay marriage.

Mitt Romney has been seen as having a problem with connecting with regular,run of the mill,average Joe Americans. People believe that his charmed life and immense wealth puts him slightly out of touch with regular people.
