Song of the Day

I haven't done one of these in a minute but I felt that this was important. I, like many of my other black brethren have been a bit annoyed by the "new" dance craze the Harlem Shake. I'm not annoyed at the song despite it's repetitive boring beat. I'm not mad at the goofy dance. I'm kinda annoyed at how it's totally mislabeled. What they're doing is not the Harlem Shake. The Harlem Shake is a dance that has been extremely popular in and around NYC for my entire life span. That's 25 years! It's a fast paced,highly skilled and on beat dance that has been used by many skilled dancers for decades. This new craziness is not that, at all. In fact the real Harlem Shake has been popular in the national and international hip hop community for at least a decade and it's thanks to none other than Sean "Diddy" Combs, G. Dep and the rest of the old Bad Boy records crew. Click on the first video to see professor Melissa Harris-Perry explain the history of the dance and it's significance to black culture. Click on the 2nd video to see how it was first introduced to people not living in and around the New York, tri-state area. If I wanted to sum this up in ridiculous hyperbole, I would say that calling the new dance the Harlem Shake is like me calling myself an Italian just because my first name is an actual Italian name.

Droning on

If you were on Twitter on Wednesday you may have noticed Rand Paul being the top trend most of the day. This is due to his stance against the Obama administration wanting to have the legal capability to target and kill Americans with drones if it ever came down to an outlandish situation that warranted a drone. I for one do not like the idea of drones at all outside of using them to spy on people. Of course with that said I think Rand Paul and his filibuster happen to be complete bullshit. In fact I kinda dislike most of the people who suddenly found it horrible that we might use a drone to possibly one day shoot at an (white)American in America one day for being a terrorist. I find it a little ridiculous that no one has a problem with the nearly decade of us using drones to kill people in other countries that we aren't at war with but are outraged at such tactics possibly one day being used here. I find it funny that Rand Paul, a man who is on record as being cool with discrimination and for some reason voted against the violence against women act is now being hailed as a guy who cares about civil liberties. In fact he was one of only 8 to vote against that bill but now he's the new champion of civil rights for one shitty filibuster. If you really think that he gives a shit about you,you are an idiot. Also, if they wanted to, congress could introduce a bill to outright ban the use of drones and if that fails to get enough votes someone can always sneak it in a more popular bill. Of course that would get in the way of some of the money Rand's comrades are making from drone makers. Just sayin....

There's more that I have to get off of my chest as I type while listening to some of the finest southern rap music available. I for one am sick of fake outrage. In the other paragraph I pointed out that we as a country did not give a shit about drones until the possibility of one of us being shot came up. Why is that? Were those entire neighborhoods being hit by missiles in Pakistan and Yemen less important? Are we only using moral objectivity to raining robots of death when it comes to saving our own asses? And thanks to the precedent we set years ago, what's stopping the Russians,Chinese,North Koreans or Iranians from getting drones and shooting at people in the United States right now? Is it only legal because we do it? Someone give me some answers! This all seems like something that I see on the news way too often. A black kid gets shot in Detroit and no one cares but if one suburbanite gets killed it becomes a national outrage. Basically we're cool with savagery as long as it happens to the right people who happen to not live around us. When most of you move past your double standard on drones and life in general you can talk to me. Until then keep pretending to care while openly showing that you could not care any less. Congrats to Rand Paul on not wanting Americans to get shot by drones in America but that filibuster is the most transparent,grandstanding bullshit I have seen in a while.

Random act of failure

Normally when I post these types of blogs, I wouldn't have this type of content. In fact this may be my first time posting a song on here as a complete failure but I feel that this one deserves it. It has a myriad of things to not like about it. These things range from the generic beat,weak at best rhymes,terribly sung/autotuned hook and the fact that we can't even get a clear picture of the guy doing the rapping. Click on the video below and be amazed at this adventure in sucking.

Sizing up the sequester

During the last few weeks all of the talk has been about the upcoming sequestration. This means that the government will arbitrarily start cutting funding to programs and departments in an effort to to cut down on our national deficit. Of course if it were up to me I would end things like no bid contracts,subsidies for oil companies and close up tax loopholes that allow companies like Facebook to get away with paying no taxes and receive a refund of over $400million. Since my ideas wont be getting any play in congress, you might as well click on the picture below to see how the sequester will uniquely screw over your state. For instance in the town of Warren,MI they will lose a ton of defense jobs. Let's hope that congress can get something done to stop this upcoming unneeded economic collapse.

A shotgun full of stupidity

When I'm not writing about porn and pontificating about my increasingly bleak outlook on life, I do occasionally talk about politics on this blog. In particular I try to write about the insanely absurd side of this thing that we call the American political system. Due to my enjoyment and sometimes hatred of the outright stupidity of the system, I've been able to learn about Texas congressman Louie Gohmert. The last blog I did on congressman Gohmert is one of the top 20 most popular posts ever on this site. That particular post dealt with his theory that illegal Mexicans were having babies in America in an effort to have those babies turn in to terrorists who would eventually destroy America as adults. That theory, as I have pointed out before, is the plot to the first part of the Dragonball series. In essence, he's saying that any child of an undocumented immigrant in this country is basically Goku,which the 13 year old in me thinks is kinda awesome. I really hope that we end up with a few super powered Mexican heroes, just like in the cartoon.

Of course Gohmert's new theory is just as cartoonishly dumb as the last one. His new theory is that we should not only avoid any type of gun regulation, but we should increase the number and types of guns available to the general public. His reasoning for this is that it will protect us from Muslim Sharia law. This is idiotic for a number of reasons. Firstly there's a thing in the constitution about separating church and state. This includes mosque and state too. What this means is that we can't make laws that favor any religion over other religions thus making the idea of even having a law made up specifically by and for one sect in the Muslim world in America something of a non-possibility. Secondly more guns wont solve a nonexistent problem. This is as idiotic as saying that armed guards would have stopped Columbine while missing the fact that Columbine had 2 armed guards who promptly didn't stop it but did call the police. Thirdly and equally as important, America doesn't exactly have an overwhelming Muslim population. In fact less than 1% of the country identifies as any form of Muslim. For congressman Gohmert's theory to even make a tiny bit of sense the population would have to be overwhelmingly Muslim and with a lot of Muslims in positions of power. Currently we have only one member of congress that identifies as a Muslim. With less than 1% of the American population even following the teachings of Islam this theory is just another case of an old white man making shit up out of fear of something that has less than no chance of happening.

Midnight Distraction

I have not done one of these in a very long time and it's time to change that. I figure that I should change that in a big way. I have on a few occasions before mentioned things about strippers and their varying degrees of sex appeal. I've even on a few special occasions mentioned a few things about porn....such as a former senatorial candidate being a dead ringer for a notorious porn star. Now I'm giving you everything you have ever wanted to know about the porn industry. This ranges from common names,career lengths and bra sizes to exactly how long will it take for you to get a new porn starlet to perform certain sex acts on film. Click on the picture below to get even more in depth.

Poll Position

In a recent Quinnipiac poll one political figure stood head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to popularity and favorability. Who is this favorable,popular and well loved person? It's not current president Barack H Obama or even vice president Smilin' Joe Biden. In fact it's not guys like the rubber tan man John Boehner or actual war hero John Kerry. It happens to be the favorite target of conservatives everywhere,Hillary Clinton. She also beat out 2pac historian Marco RubioTo find out her favorability rating click on this sentence.

Marco Rubio discusses rap music

I guess I should start this out by pointing out that there isn't much that myself and the republican senator from the great state of Florida agree on politically. Of course seeing that I'm not one of those people who spends his entire life being bitter and angry towards anyone that doesn't follow my exact ideology 1000% of the time. If I were that type of person,I'd never vote and would spend my days yelling at passing cars in my underwear on street corners. Since I'm not that type of guy, I decided to give this interesting video a look. What surprises me isn't the fact that a man in his 40's spent his college years listening to 2 of the greatest rappers of all time, it's the fact that I actually agree with his views on 2pac's lyrics. Also, I agree with his assessment of early to mid 90's rap music. Click on the video below to be amazed.

Just a few thoughts

I know that the gun control debate has been going on recently and personally I feel like we should have been having this conversation a long time ago. I know that since we live in a country full of idiots that we'll never have a society free of crime,violence and murder. The issues that lead to those things go much deeper than saying that we should get rid of assault weapons(great idea) and extended clips(also a good idea). Crime,the reasons behind it and why certain crimes tend to happen in certain places vary. In Detroit, most of the crimes have something to do with money. From drug deals gone bad,to robberies,carjackings and even failed robberies. These are the types of acts committed by desperate people who don't see any other way to survive in a town where opportunities are starting to become scarce to say the very least. A lot of this crime would probably not exist in my city if we took care of the most basic things like hiring more cops,turning on the street lights and having a school system that focused more on molding kids to lead successful lives and a little less on undermining students and teachers in the name of saving a few bucks(which they're also failing at doing). Another thing that would help is universal background checks on all gun sales. I do realize that criminals will find ways to get their hands on a gun if they're really determined to do so but we should do everything we can to make it harder for that to happen. On top of that, I find it a little weird that every couple of weeks I can go out to a gigantic flea market downriver and buy any gun that's in my price range with no questions asked but I need a prescription to get extra strong deodorant. I find it a little weird that a company is actively running a background check on me right now just to see if I'm a good fit to work inside of a freezer but no one is going to run one on me if I decide to go to Wal-Mart and buy a few rifles and some nachos. Oh and once they're done running the background check, they're going to ask me to take a drug test. I'm perfectly fine with the background checks,drug tests and hours of questioning to get the job driving a pallet jack inside of a 100,00 square foot. I just hate the fact that we don't go to the same lengths when letting people purchase guns. Even the NRA used to agree with me on background checks. What pisses me off even more are the nutjobs who happen to be against simple background checks. Nutjobs like my ex-masturbatory aide, Ann Coulter. She actually thinks or wants us to think that she thinks that background checks will lead to a holocaust-like scenario brought on by King Hussein Obama. Click below and be amazed by an idiot.

It's been a while
