Obamacare is working

I kinda forgot to post this last week but it's pretty good. While I was preoccupied with life,The Detroit News kinda ran a story talking about the effect that Obamacare is having on everyday Americans and particularly,people like my grandma. And by people like my grandma,I mean senior citizens who aren't exactly making Steve Jobs type of money. 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 photo below to find out.

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 helpful charts about how weird this country really is.

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. To see who else they've donated to,click on the picture below.

Ad of the day

In this ad of the day we get republican candidate Pete Hoekstra going after democratic incumbent Debbie Stabenow,who he has nicknamed Debbie "Spend it now". In the ad an Asian woman talks in a clearly fake and borderline racist characterization of an Asian accent. Through this ad filled with broken English we get to hear about how Debbie "Spend it Now" helped run up the debt in America. Of course this ad isn't sitting well with the Asian community here in Michigan and they're pretty upset at the stereotypes in it. To see the ad that's causing controversy in my little town,click on the video below.

Here's a bit of an update. Outside of the vaguely racist looking site that Pete Hoekstra is running,the HTML code in it is kinda racist. Or at least it was before it was changed after Gawker pointed it out.

One more update: The actress in this commercial doesn't even like this commercial.

As I do every so often,I search youtube for ridiculousness. Most of the time I find nothing but unsigned rappers trying their hardest to get themselves seen by adoring fans who don't know that they're fans yet. 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.

Midnight Distraction

Baseball season is only a couple of months away. In fact I'm pretty excited about the 2012 Tigers team. We did exceptionally well last year with a slightly understaffed and very injured team. With the re-signing of Gerald Laird as a backup to Alex Avila and the blockbuster signing of Prince Fielder,the Tigers are looking to do major damage. With great teams,comes great quantities of fans. Fans from all walks of life who just want to sit in Comerica Park and enjoy a game and take photos. In the photo below,2 ladies from Boston happen to take a nice snapshot of them enjoying a Red Sox game. There is absolutely nothing weird about these 2 women whatsoever.

Song of the day

In something that I'm sure most political blogs missed today,Mitt Romney just narrowly avoided a lawsuit. The almost lawsuit stems from Mitt using a song without permission,which is eerily similar to the almost legal trouble that Newt Gingrich got into the other day over "eye of the tiger". In this latest edition of musicians not liking the GOP,Somali born,Canadian raised rapper K'naan threatened to sue Mitt Romney to stop him from playing the American version of "Wavin' Flag". The Song was released in 2010 and was used by Coca Cola as a theme song for the 2010 World Cup with remixed versions of the song being made for several of the countries in the competition. To avoid getting sued by K'Naan,the Romney campaign has agreed to stop using his song. A song that K'Naan has said he would gladly let President Obama use during his reelection campaign if he wants to. If you want to hear where Romney used the song,skip to the end of his Florida victory speech. If you just want to listen to the extremely upbeat song without the political muckraking,click on the video for the song below.
