Picture of the Day

It's been 50 years since the historic March On Washington and to say that it had a huge impact on America is a grossly negligent understatement. It may have been one of the most important days in the history of this great country. As many of you may know,there are events all throughout Washington DC this weekend and in to next week commemorating the occasion. I've always wondered how many people from the original march would show up to this event and now I'm kinda closing in on an answer. What I know for sure however is that this man and this sign was,is and will always be relevant to what we should be fighting for in America.

The Air Force is now gay

In recent years,the military has been trying to become more inclusive. By that I mean that don't ask,don't tell came to an end and gay people can be pretty open in the military. This is a good thing because honestly,I wouldn't want a guy who's openly lying because he'd be oppressed if he didn't,in charge of high powered weaponry. I'll let you think about why I wrote that last sentence for a few seconds.

In the air force,the end of don't ask,don't tell means that the guy currently in charge can be as open as he feels comfortable with about his sexuality. Eric Fanning is the new acting civilian leader of the Air Force. This position makes him the highest ranking,openly gay person in the history of the American military.

Poll Position

To say that politics often veers into the lane of ridiculousness is a gross understatement at the very least. A large part of the political process has to do with polling. Polls let us know how voters feel on things ranging from the candidates and their personal opinions to more important issues such as gay marriage,immigration reform and education. In the state of Georgia,the people behind Public Policy Polling put out a hypothetical situation and asked voters who they liked. This hypothetical included civil rights legend and real American hero,Dr Martin Luther King Jr and TV chef,sugar maven,butter aficionado and plantation fetishist Paula Deen.

In a normal world,Dr King would clearly rank highly positive when it comes to how people view him but you and I both know that this post has ridiculousness in it. In reality,in Georgia,among the people who were asked this question who happened to be republican voters,Paula Deen is much more popular than Dr King. In the year 2013, a TV chef who thinks that the wrong side won the war is more popular than a guy who was killed for having the audacity to ask that people of color not be beaten in the streets for wanting to have lunch. This goes to show that we in this country have a very long way to go when it comes to not being idiots.


On a side note Paula Deen's recipes are so-so at best. There are so many better southern cooks.

Favorability ratings with Georgia Republicans: Paula Deen 73/11, Martin Luther King Jr. 59/28

Random act of failure

People who know me in my real life or even on twitter know that I'm not that big of a fan of the state of Florida. It just comes across too weird for my taste. It also has a pretty awful recent history of not being a fan of black males. Of course everyone knows about the travesty surrounding Trayvon Martin but there's a new incident of ridiculousness that just happened in Florida. If you're not familiar with it,check out the video below and be amazed at the type of shit that black guys have to deal with just because our very existence seems to scare some people.

The President speaks....

On the trial of George Zimmerman,Trayvon Martin and how race plays into daily life in America. The President also opens up and lets people in on some of his own experiences with profiling and racism. This includes the president referencing the fact that certain people looked at him like a criminal before he became an elected official that spends a ton of time on TV. He also touched on how law enforcement is distributed weirdly different when it comes to young black males such as myself and everyone else. As expected a speech like this has angered idiots and you can click here to read some of the more influential idiots. Of course it would be better if you clicked on the video below and watched the president make some sense.

Video of the Day

As everyone knows,my beloved city of Detroit just filed for bankruptcy. As expected the city has now become the butt of jokes and a flood of people with exactly 0 idea of what led to the filing and why we're in debt in the first place have now become experts on finances that they have yet to see. As much as this annoys me I'm going to try not to angrily tweet at the next person from Rapid City,South Dakota that makes an idiotic comment. With all that said,the bankruptcy has been getting a ton of attention not just nationally but also internationally. With international attention comes the eventual Taiwanese animation of the issue of the day. Watch below as Detroit's problems get laid out in ridiculous fashion including an M&M representing Eminem gets shot on 8mile.

Glenn Beck Craziness

I haven't posted one of these in a while but I felt that this one was necessary because of how ridiculous it is. As many of you may or may not know,the wife of secretary of state John Kerry,Teresa Heinz-Kerry was hospitalized a few days ago after suffering a seizure. A seizure can be very serious and even my own grandmother had one in her sleep last week. Luckily my grandma is doing fine and is back to watching tigers games and making fun of me for various reasons. Teresa Heinz-Kerry wasn't so lucky and she's still in the hospital right now as doctors continue to monitor her. Of course knowing everything that we do know about the situation has led some people to believe that a 74 year old woman is blatantly lying to America about how serious it is to protect John Kerry. By some I mean Glenn Beck,who happens to have a real hate-boner towards a woman he has never met. Also,Hillary is still lying for Benghazi. Click and be amazed.

I've honestly been trying to avoid anything to do with the trial of George Zimmerman because the whole thing disgusts me on a personal level. What disgusts me even more is that when I do check my twitter it seems like people are sympathetic to a man who disobeyed police orders and shot an unarmed kid. Also disgusting me is this ridiculousness in the Google Android Market. I don't know the approval process for android apps or if there even is one but if there is one this should be removed immediately for complete tastelessness.

Update: The people behind the "game" have a Twitter account.
