Michael Steele Acknowledges The Republican Party is Being Reduced to The Idiot Class

Michael Steele went on MSNBC’s Hardball today and called out certain members in his Republican party. The segment Steele was discussing had to do with the so-called Republican outreach or lack thereof, and the “bad behavior” by some elected members of the party when it comes to baseless, fact-less nonsense being spewed about President Obama and other minorities.

The moderator of the show pointed out some of the things elected Republicans have said about the President and he played a recording showing Rep. Blake Farenthold from Texas, who said that the original congress should have looked into President Obama’s birth and whether he was in fact an American citizen. He then turn to Steele, telling him that when elected Republican continue this baseless talking point, it reflects badly on the entire party. And then asked Steele what should be done to save the party.

Steele answered that comments like the ones from Farenthold should be dismissed by the leaders of the party. He also acknowledged that those comments draw the party down and “stereotypes the party into a very small casam of the idiot class who can’t figure out that America is changing and how to adopt to this change and become a part of it as opposed to resisting it.”

Well said Steele, well said. With views like this, we see now why they kicked you out from heading the RNC.

Having More Brothers & Sisters Makes You Less Likely To Get Divorced

Branden Lee is a blogger, screenwriter, producer, and actor, currently residing in Boston, MA. Follow Branden on Twitter and Tumblr.

A  new Jezebel article reports that a study shows that the more siblings one has the less likely they are to get divorced.

The study was conducted by Ohio State University and studied over 57,000 people between the years 1972-2012.

Each sibling someone has decreases a person’s odds of divorce by 2%.

The study says that the findings only accounts for up to 7 siblings in a family, but having more than 7 siblings doesn’t make divorce more likely.

Research didn’t delve into why someone is less likely to get divorced because they grew up in a large household.

 One of the researchers hypothesized that when someone grows up in a big family they learn how to deal with conflict better, because of course siblings fight a lot.

As an only child who can’t even get a boyfriend, this study comes as horrible news.

Both of my parents come from large families. My father is one of 7 children, and my mother is one of 9. They’ve been together a very long time.

I’m an only child who’s never been in a relationship.

The stereotype of an only child is that we’re spoiled, selfish, stubborn, uncompromising, all of which are true in my case.

No wonder I can’t get a boyfriend.

President Obama’s Lunch – Fried This and Fried That

It’s raining on Martha’s Vineyard, but President Obama apparently felt the need to get out of the house tuesday.

Obama went for a lunch run at one of the island’s landmarks — Nancy’s snack bar on the waterfront in Oak Bluffs.

Dressed for vacation — blue fleece, Nike sneakers, a Chicago White Sox cap — Obama shook hands and greeted about 40 other patrons before picking up his order at the counter.

The selections, as identified by the White House: fried shrimp, fried oysters, onion rings and french fries.

Obama told the staff at the counter: “Good to see you man, thanks for feeding us.”

The presidential motorcade then headed to the house where senior adviser Valerie Jarrett is staying this week.

After lunch, the president went to a nearby school to play some basketball.

Judge Throws Out Racial Discrimination Suit against Paula Deen

A federal judge has dismissed the racial discrimination claims in a lawsuit filed by a former employee against Paula Deen, the celebrity chef’s representative said Monday.

The former employee can’t claim to be a victim of racial discrimination targeting African-American workers because she is white, U.S. District Judge William T. Moore Jr. ruled. “At best, plaintiff is an accidental victim of the alleged racial discrimination,” Moore wrote.

Other aspects of the lawsuit, including sexual harassment and abusive treatment, are still pending.

“We are pleased with the Court’s ruling today that Lisa Jackson’s claims of race discrimination have been dismissed,” Deen’s representatives said in a statement to CNN. “As Ms. Deen has stated before, she is confident that those who truly know how she lives her life know that she believes in equal opportunity, kindness and fairness for everyone.”

Soulja Boy Kicked Off Flight for Disobeying Orders

Soulja Boy has a lot in common with Alec Baldwin — not that he’s as talented, but he’s definitely as disrespectful on American Airlines, because the renegade rapper got booted from an AA plane after causing a pre-flight scene.

Just like Alec, Soulja was on American Airlines Friday when the flight attendant took the mic and told everyone to sit the f**k down.  Soulja, who was standing and walking the aisles, didn’t follow the command. 

Just like Alec, a flight attendant approached the rapper and repeated the order and explained the consequences if he didn’t obey. 

Just like Alec, the rapper blew her off.

And just like Alec, he was “removed” from the plane.

Unlike Alec, Soulja was actually contrite, telling TMZ, “It was a bad night and me and the flight staff didn’t see eye to eye. In hindsight, I’m extremely sorry for all inconvenience caused to the passengers and employees of the airline.”

Unlike Alec, Soulja probably will not get a Capital One commercial because … well, you know — he’s Soulja Boy, right?

Watch TMZ for video.

Switzerland Sales Clerk Says Oprah is a Liar

She is horrified that someone as powerful as Oprah would make up such a story. In an interview with a Swiss newspaper, the clerk said:

“I don’t know why she is making these accusations. She is so powerful, and I am just a shop girl.

“It is absolutely not true that I declined to show her the bag on racist grounds. I even asked her if she wanted to look at the bag,” the woman said.

“I didn’t hurt anyone. I don’t know why someone as great as her must cannibalize me on TV. … If it had all taken place as she claimed, why has she not complained the next day at the wedding of Tina Turner with Trudie Goetz, my boss? She was there also at the Turner wedding as a guest. I don’t understand it. … I spoke to Oprah Winfrey in English. My English is OK but not excellent, unfortunately. … I didn’t know who she was when she came into the store. That wouldn’t have made any difference if I had.”

The man, who was 32 but otherwise not identified, was in a private room with his wife at Willowbrook Methodist Hospital in northwest Houston on Sunday afternoon when he turned the gun on himself and pulled the trigger, police said.

Witnesses reported hearing what sounded like arguing coming from the room before the gun went off, local KHOU-TV reported.

The man was declared dead after being flown to another hospital, Memorial Hermann, officials said.
