Just killing time here

Not too long ago I kinda got the idea in my head that I should probably stop being part of the problems here in Detroit and find a way to be a part of the solution. My first idea was to make a smartphone app that tracks the city's bus system in real time thus making it easier for riders to figure out how long they're gonna be standing out in the cold waiting for a ride. When the mayor decided to fire a ton of bus drivers,I put that entire idea on the backburner(of course if someone wants to help...

Live Primary Results

As everyone knows,it's the night of the Michigan and Arizona republican primaries. In Arizona,Mitt Romney has already won it by a wide margin. In Michigan however,it's still a bit of a close race. In fact it's a little too close to call at the moment. With that said click on the photo below for live results and click on the video below for live speeches from the candidates themselves. Oh and it looks like Romney kinda won with rich people here in Michigan. ...

Ad of the day

Today's ad comes courtesy of republican presidential candidate Ron Paul. In this ad,which is laced with horrendous background music,we get to hear a few facts about Rick Santorum. We get to hear that the mix master is only fiscally conservative when it's politically helpful and that he doesn't really stick to his principles. It's all pretty basic attack ad stuff but what makes it stand out is that he's running this ad in my state of Michigan. A state in which Ron Paul is so much of a non factor that he's barely polling in the double digits. Also,Rick Santorum is starting to notice a pattern of...

Can we start ignoring Santorum now? ALL of us? Please?

GOP "candidate" Rick Santorum dials up his crazy just a little higher, when he states (on TELEVISION!) that separation of church and state makes it tough for him to keep his lunch down. Can we all just agree that he's the scariest presidential candidate in history? Just when we thought Bachmann was as crazy as one could get. His argument is that separation of church and state demands that people of faith have no role in what he calls "the public square." Laughably, his idea of including people of faith in politics is applying their rules and beliefs to people who do not subscribe to them. See...

The Governor of Virginia is either a huge liar, or ...

... too stupid to google what "transvaginal" means. Translation: HEY GUYS, I WAS ELECTED GOVERNOR OF A COMMONWEALTH AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GOOGLE THE DEFINITION OF SOMETHING BEFORE I FORM OPINIONS ABOUT IT! WHOOPS, SORRY! Are we really buying this excuse? Let's be honest with ourselves. McDonnell knew there was a transvaginal ultrasound in that bill, and he knew EXACTLY what that is and what it means. What's bad: shitty, misogynist politics. What's worse: trying to play dumb when you get called out for them. McDonnell is a misogynist troglodyte. Look at him backpedal HARD for that VP nom....

Rick Santorum's Alleged Former Lover Speaks Out:

And you'll never believe what gender his lover is! I'll even give you two guesses. (Har, har.) It is doubtfully real (come on now, HUGH JOHNSON?) but Santorum hates gays in a way that almost seems personal. I wouldn't be shocked if the accusation were true, if not this specific story. There's rarely a bigger homophobe than a closeted or (lol) "reformed" homosexual. Please be true, please be true, please be true, please be true, please be true, please be true, please be true, please be true, please be true, please be true, please be true, please be true, please be true, please be true, please...

Photo of the day

Mitt Romney stopped through Detroit today to give a speech about the economy at my old place of employment and home of the Detroit Lions,Ford Field. The speech was a big hit that drew in 65,000 people to the large and impressive stadium. We did however find out that he has 4 American cars. ...

Random act of failure

New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin has been on an incredible run during the last few weeks. He's gone from barely avoiding being cut by the team to becoming the starting point guard to becoming a breakout star in the NBA. I guess what I'm saying is that he's been going Linsane on the NBA and it's players for the last few weeks. Of course with anything that's even kinda good,people will jump on the bandwagon. Below is a photo of a guy who has decided to join in on the Linsanity but wants to...

Falling off

You may have missed this but not too long ago,Michigan senatorial candidate Pete Hoekstra released an ad that was roundly condemned by everyone as racist and idiotic. The ad caused a huge backlash and it's becoming obvious that it has damaged his campaign in a big way. How badly is his decision to be openly racist hurting him? His opponent is now up double digits in what was once a close race. Click on the photo below to see how much of a lead Debbie Stabenow has opened up on Pete Hoekstra. ...

Senseless

Sometimes there are moments in this world that make absolutely no sense. If we're lucky those moments will be limited to people saying completely idiotic things in a public forum. If we're unlucky,those senseless moments will manifest themselves in the form of violence. The senselessness in the video below took place not too far from where I used to work. It amazes me how people will think that it's a good idea to shoot up a house but that doesn't amaze me as much as the fact that this entire thing wont even be talked about a week from now.

Santorum Surge

In this edition of the Santorum Surge we get to see the mix master himself stop by one of my favorite local political talk shows,Michigan Matters. In the video below he gets a pretty softball interview from host Carol Cain. In the interview topics range from poll numbers to the economy to how Rick's wife would do as a first lady. We also get to see him get tripped up when talking about bailouts. Click on the videos below to see how Rick is fine tuning his message for the people of Michigan. Oh and Rick just picked up an endorsement from Megadeth member David Mustaine. ...

The War on Women's Rights

On the heels of the Oklahoma state Senate's vote to pass the "Personhood" legislation and send it to a state House that is 2:1 in favor of the bill and Virginia's recent effort to require transvaginal ultrasounds before abortions (PS, they threw that "personhood" thing in there too, don't worry!) one has to wonder: has the entire country lost their minds? These bills bring up some scary future law possibilities, and set some pretty terrifying precedents. Let's start with the obvious one:...

With all of the insanity surrounding contraception these days coming from the GOP and Catholic bishops and the ridiculousness about Occupy Wall Street coming from cable news you may have missed what's going on in Virginia. With that first sentence out of the way,you may be wondering what I'm talking about. Well,what I'm talking about is a new law in Virginia that requires women who are seeking an abortion to submit to an invasive and medically unnecessary vaginal probe. The governor of Virginia,Bob McDonnell is a front runner to be a republican vice presidential pick and something like this wont...

Still Surging

I've previously written about the Santorum Surge on this spectacular site. In fact I've written a lot about the mix master. Now here's a little bit more good news about the world's favorite mixing maestro. Lately he's been wiping the floor with Mitt Romney and now that floor wiping is extending to the state that Mitt and myself have called home in our lives,Michigan. Rick Santorum is actually polling ahead of Mitt Romney in the very state where Mitt Romney's father was a well respected governor....

Santorum Surge

Rick Santorum has been surging like crazy lately. Between mopping the floor with Mitt Romney last week and getting tons of free publicity for his stance on the issue of birth control,Santorum has been on everyone's lips. One thing that's an overriding theme with the mix master is that he's a proud and devoted Catholic. I for one am a fan of Catholicism and because of that I've noticed a few weird things about Rick. Things such as him totally using Catholic bishops in his political exploits to talk...

Obamacare is working

I kinda forgot to post this last week but it's pretty good.

In this story we find out that the average Michigander saved a nice chunk of change on prescription bills last year. How much did they save? Click on the...

Picture of the day

Everyone knows that there is massive income inequality here in America. We live in a land where a guy like Mitt Romney actually pays a lower tax rate than a guy at a Chrysler factory. We live in a land where we're constantly gutting things like food stamps,education and public safety in favor of another tax giveaway to the rich and unneeded incentives to companies that outsource to other countries. Have you ever wanted to see how bad it really is? Well,below is a helpful chart that leads to more...

In some news that shocks almost no one,John Boehner is a man who loves to have a tan. In fact if it wasn't for the fact that he's from Ohio,he'd basically be "The Situation". Also,in some news that shocks no one,the indoor tanning association superPAC has donated $5000 to John Boehner. Considering that president Obama put a 10% tax on indoor tanning,they're going to do everything they can to stop him and considering Boehner's almost Snooki-esque love of tanning,this seems like a good choice.

Ad of the day

In the ad an Asian woman talks in a clearly fake and borderline racist characterization of an Asian accent.

Of course this ad isn't sitting well with the Asian community here in Michigan and they're pretty upset at the...

As I do every so often,I search youtube for ridiculousness.

It was during one of these quests that I found out about a rapper by the name of Ceddy Bu. Ceddy Bu happens to be a rapper from Louisiana who sounds a whole hell of a lot like incarcerated rap star Lil Boosie,who also happens to be from Louisiana. Oh and Ceddy has a very distinctive look about him. Check him out in the video below...
