Video of the Day

Rick the mixmaster Santorum may not be doing too well in the polls in Florida,but this doesn't mean that he doesn't have his supporters. In fact one of his biggest supporters in Florida is ultra-conservative Florida pastor O'Neal Dozier. Reverend Dozier also happens to be one of those "blah people" that Santorum mentioned back in Iowa. With this said O'Neal Dozier took some time out of his busy schedule of preaching the word to the lovely people of Florida to sit down for an interview with the even lovelier Brooke Baldwin on CNN earlier today. By the looks on her face throughout this interview...

Live Primary Results

I don't know if you know this but apparently there's a primary going on in Florida. In fact it's going on right now. If you're one of those people who want to see who wins the battle for Florida,a battle between a man who pays a lower tax rate than I do and Dwight Shrute from the office's evil grandfather,click on the map of Florida below...

Eye of a loser

Newt Gingrich may still be in the presidential race but he's not doing nearly as well as he wants to do. In Florida he's losing badly to Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney happens to be a man with weird tax issues,a smooth signature and a less than firm handshake. To add to Newt's troubles,his endorsement by Herman Cain hasn't helped at all and his campaign is becoming a joke. A sick and twisted joke on republican voters,but a joke nonetheless. Now he's being sued for his campaign song. His song happens to...

If you missed it

If you were one of the people to miss it earlier,the president sat down for an interview with Google+ users. In this 50 minute long interview the president answered questions on a range of issues. Issues ranging from the importance of social media to taking a look at one man's resume'. To see the entire question and answer session,click on the video below. Oh and near the end of the video some idiot asks the president to do a jig. If you don't want to search for the exact spot,click here to see...

Something you may have missed

So much time has been given to the top tier candidates this season that sometimes we forget that lesser known people are running. I mean,how much time can we really give to Rick Santorum,Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich? What about guys like Randall Terry? You may be wondering who he is and because of that you're about to find out. Randall Terry is an anti-abortion activist who is running a somewhat successful campaign to become president. By somewhat successful I mean that this almost unknown site may end up accounting for most of the media attention he's going to get. Currently he's involved in a...

Just killing time here

Spring is only a couple of months away and I for one can't wait for it. Outside of the warmer temperatures and the fact that I'm going to save hundreds of dollars on energy bills,I also get the chance to fix up a few things around the house. There are a couple of things here that really need to be fixed and I want to get it done as soon as it warms up. Of course this is going to take all types of new tools and materials. I don't know if I'll be using these particular accessories though...

Midnight Distraction

Everyone that knows me,knows that I may have a pretty unnatural obsession with the news. Come to think of it I think about 60% of the news anchors and reporters in Detroit happen to follow me on twitter. There's even that one time I almost got one of my blogs turned into a news story. Of course there are things about the news that I love are bloopers. Whether it's the woman doing the traffic somehow totally forgetting how to pronounce the street she's reporting about. A horrendous slip of the tongue by an anchor or even a screw up by the graphics department. Of course from time to time there are...

Picture of the day

Everyone saw the debate last night. It was basically comedy gold for me because I happen to find that type of stuff funny. Thanks to one of my awesome foreign friends on the fantastic site known as Twitter,I was able to see this awesome picture. I think it appropriately describes what the debate really was like for people who have grown tired of watching debate after debate filled with talking points,Newt Gingrich and his half smile/half scowl and Mitt Romney complaining about taxes being too high...

A taxing issue

Taxes has been on everyone's mind recently. It could be the fact that so many of us somehow feel overtaxed while rich jerks keep getting tax cuts. It could be because it's tax return season. Or it even could be the fact that Mitt Romney's taxes have been a hot political issue during the last couple of weeks. In fact Newt Gingrich has kinda been making it his mission to get Mitt to do more than just sign autographs and actually release some tax forms. Now that those forms have been released we now...

Umm....what?

I haven't been on or around a computer much today. In fact I didn't even check my email until almost 5pm and the only things in there were a few emails from friends,junk mail and an email from Chrysler telling me that that they weren't hiring me. Of course the point is, maybe I should have hopped online earlier than I did. I say this because when I did hop on here I happened to see that the world is still going completely insane. In today's latest bit of insanity we are trying to whitewash history. By whitewash I mean we're changing what's in textbooks again to feed into some sort of stupid political...

Cum on everybody

I honestly was looking for a reason to post a classic Eminem song on this site and unfortunately I couldn't find one. Of course that is until I decided to take a look at Mixmaster Rick Santorum's campaign website. Apparently he's having a fundraiser on there. Of course while this is nothing new,the name is awesome. It happens to be called "conservatives unite moneybomb". What I'm basically saying is that Santorum is adding some cum to his frothy mixture. If you or any of your conservative friends...

Picture of the day

Not too long ago,I posted about how you could get involved and help show congress the light on a couple of horribly written anti-piracy bills. What I failed to mention is that the bill was co-sponsored by Texas congressman Lamar Smith. This is important because as the picture below explains,he would actually be in violation of his own law if this bill passed. Look and be amazed by this fact. Oh and there's a long list of congressional members violating the Protect IP Act too....

SOPA Opera

If you've been on the internet at all today you may have noticed many big websites shutting down in protest of the Stop Online Piracy Act. This includes Wikipedia,Reddit and dozens of others. Of course they aren't the only ones who are upset at this well intentioned but badly written and broad law. In fact you have everyone from normal everyday people,to members of the video game industry and members of congress who oppose it. Of course not every member of congress opposes it but if you're one of...

A Liberal Dose of Conservatism

Today, Newt Gingrich said that if he doesn't win the Saturday Primary in South Carolina, the GOP "will probably nominate a moderate. And the odds are fairly high he will lose to Obama."To his credit, Newt knows a lot about defeating Democrats, but we've heard this mantra before. Four years ago, Ann Coulter and many others went on Fox News decrying John McCain, saying that the GOP had already lost the election if they end up nominating him, which was true. John McCain didn't stand a chance, but to scapegoat "moderate" Republicans like that is to completely miss the point, (ironically, that also...

Today happens to be one of the better days of the year as far as dates go. You may be wondering "Why would he think that?". I'll tell you why in the next sentence. Today happens to be the shared birthday of two of my favorite people. These people are Muhammad Ali and first lady Michelle Obama who are 70 and 48 respectively. I honestly look up to both of them. The first lady has been spending her time getting flack for even coming out and trying to tackle the problem of childhood obesity. Of course she does have the support of the medical community which helpfully points out the myriad of problems...

Random Observation

I was in the middle of emailing earlier and talking about the GOP debate and I had a few observations about the current republican party. What you're going to read below is an email that I sent. Somewhere in there is a coherent thought. I hope you enjoy it. Just look at their numbers with everybody that isn't an aging white male. They're low all around. On a consistent basis they insult black people and then wonder why only 7 or 8 of us out of the more than 30 million in this country vote for them. They make sure to blame the social problems in this country on gay people and then make new laws...

Ad of the day

Today's ad of the day comes from an unexpected,yet hilarious source. It comes from comedic mastermind and walking parody,Stephen Colbert. You may or may not have known that Stephen Colbert is trying once again to run for president in South Carolina. Of course to be successful in this he has to take on and take down the current leader in the pack of republicans who are fighting for the chance to dethrone president Obama. This means that he has to go hard after Mitt Romney,who by the way wins my vote for best autograph at 8am. Click and watch as the Colbert SuperPac lays out why Mitt Romney is less...

The best of Huntsman

The hunt for that elusive ticket to the white house may be over for Jon Huntsman but I personally want to take a little time to remember some of the good times of this tragically short lived campaign. In fact if I were going to choose a guy in the GOP primary,it would have been him. He seemed like the least insane one and on top of that he can really play the hell out of a piano. In fact you get to see the piano skills,his daughters and a few other awesome things in the video below. Click,enjoy and share with your friends...

The hunt is over

It looks like the republican field is narrowing. According to a ton of news people,Jon Huntsman has decided to call it quits on his run towards the white house and it looks like he may have chosen someone to endorse. To find out who,click on the photo below....

If there's one thing I've learned over the years is that women are surprisingly strong. What a lot of them lack in stature they make up for in pure badassery.

Decision 2012

I didn't know this but apparently we're supposed to vote for something in a few months. I think we're voting for the president again(already?) and this time there's no shortage of old white guys running for president. Among this group you have libertarian hero,enemy of frivolous spending and possible racist associate Ron Paul,former US ambassador to China,Jon Huntsman and owner of the worlds smoothest autograph and Mexican,Mitt Romney. Oh and there's a black guy running again,I don't think he has...

Random act of failure

I don't think there is much that can be said here. If anything,stuff like this is keeping me in a mood that doesn't completely cross that line into depression. With that said,I think someone just got themselves fired from a Brooklyn are Papa Johns. Click and be amazed by horrendous amounts of pizza related racism...

A natural distrust

Over the past few years I've had this weird theory about Barack Obama and how everyone perceives him. I don't know if it's weird because it comes across contradictory or weird because of how outlandish it's about to sound in the next few sentences. My theory is that Barack Obama gets so much grief from people on both sides of the aisle because no one really trusts his judgement. Has he had a record of perfection as president? No,not by a long shot but overall I'd say it's been good given where...

Picture of the day

Today's picture has a little bit of a story behind it. On September 25th,2008 the country was in the midst of the last presidential election. It was clearly an exciting time as we were only a little bit more than a month away from electing the first black president. That day also happens to be the day that NBC's today show decided to stop through the city of Detroit for a special election related episode. My mother,my younger sister and I were more than happy to go downtown and get as close as we...

The Santorum Surge is in full effect right now. After months of very little coverage and lots of laughter,Mix Master Rick is finally getting the spotlight that he deserves.

Live Caucus Results

People in the great state of Iowa are currently voting in the year's first republican caucus. In the lead up to today's important vote we've seen a consistent showing in the polls from Mitt Romney,the rise of Ron Paul,the end of Herman Cain,the rise and fall of Newt Gingrich and most recently the Santorum Surge. We even got a surprise celebrity appearance by the Duggar family for this vote. With all of that looming,shouldn't we be able to see who's going to win and who's winning in real time? Well...

Random act of failure

You may not know this but I was watching a thrilling game between MSU and Georgia yesterday. The game was a back and forth affair that went all the way into 3 overtimes. Eventually the Michigan State Spartans won it and everyone where I live celebrated. Of course during that game I happened to see something that looked a little weird. Fortunately for me and everyone else,someone at Deadspin happened to catch it too and thanks to them we get to see the best sign ever at a college football game...

Have you ever wondered who baby making machine/reality stars the Duggar family was endorsing for president? Well now you can wonder no more.

Virginia to expand GOP ballot

If you've been following the republican primary process you may have noticed a weird little tidbit about the ballot in the upcoming primary vote in Virginia. It seems that only Mitt Romney and Ron Paul even qualified to be on it. A 2 man race wouldn't seem so weird if it weren't for the fact that there are 7 people currently fighting it out for the hearts and minds of conservative voters everywhere. Luckily for those other 5 contenders,the state is considering an idea to expand the ballot. This may be good news for Mix Master Rick, who has had a bit of a surge in the last few days in Iowa and...
