Rodeo Clown Sean Hannity Cannot Understand The Rodeo Clown Outrage

But this does not surprise anyone. The clown show at Fox has been entertaining their fans, whipping them into a hateful frenzy every time the name Barack Obama is mentioned.

So seeing the outrage that was caused when another rodeo clown tried to impersonate the president at a state sponsored event in Missouri, by wearing an Obama mask and shoving a stick up his ass… well such an outrage just boggles Hannity’s mind.

On his Fox Entertainment program, Hannity needed to make sure that there were others who agreed with him. And his point that the rodeo clown did nothing wrong would be more believable if his agreeable guests… were black.

Enter Jehmu Greene and and Erik Rush. Greene went first, explaining that she loves rodeo clowns because they are the “epitome of destruction.”

“It’s ridiculous,” Greene said. The NAACP is out of their dang minds to think that this should be investigated by the Department of Justice. Surprise, surprise that I think this is way overkill.”

Erik Rush added his two cents, calling the outrage, “the biggest batch of race-baiting bunk I’ve ever seen.”

It was the usual love fest in the Entertainment Network. They seeds of Obama hate landed on the usual ground and their audience ate it up.

All is well in the Fox hole.

Rand Paul thinks that Evidence of Voter Suppression Does Not Exist

Despite the fact that he and his party are doing all they can to suppress the votes of African Americas and Latinos.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), a tea party senator with a long history of opposition to civil rights laws, told an audience in Louisville, Kentucky on Wednesday that there is no evidence of black voters being excluded from the franchise. According to local NPR host Phillip Bailey, Paul said that he does not believe “there is any particular evidence of polls barring African Americans from voting,” during a speech to the non-partisan Louisville Forum.

If Paul is not aware of the evidence indicating widespread efforts to prevent African Americans from voting, then he must not be looking very hard. During the 2012 election, black and Hispanic voters waited nearly twice as long to cast a ballot as white voters. In Florida, lines of up to six hours led an estimated 201,000 people to become frustrated and leave the polls.

These lines existed largely because of a voter suppression bill signed into law by Gov. Rick Scott (R-FL) which reduced early voting hours in the state. After the election, top Republicans admitted that the purpose of cutting early voting was to reduce Democratic turnout.

One Republican operative conceded that early voting was cut on the Sunday proceeding Election Day because “that’s a big day when the black churches organize themselves.”

Get a clue Paul! You’re blinded by your own politics.

criminals Entertainment Payday 2

What I’ve Been Playing: Payday 2

I’ve been waiting for this game for quite a long time and two days into playing, I am in love.

Payday 2 is a team based game where you are a squad of criminals who embark on various missions. Doing so, you receive cash which can be used to buy new weapons, new masks, and can be also used to customize all your gear.

What I love:
-The first Payday was also team based but just wasn’t very good at it. The HUD was too limited, the missions could be done without a team, the classes showed no major difference, and you really never needed help. In Payday2 the HUD now shows your entire team, their health, armor, ammo, and equipment. Each mission requires you to work with them and use their special skills to accomplish each heist.
-Every time you level up, you gain a skill point that can be used to level up certain classes. Now thankfully each class is significantly different from one another and each has a special ability
-The first Payday had..uh maybe 5 or so missions? Now we have upwards of 12 missions (probably more) and certain missions has various parts to them.
-I love being the bad guy in a game, it’s something you rarely are in video games. There’s a certain essence of “badass” about it.
-The guns! Oh how I love the choices of them all! The first Payday was limited to just a hand few, Payday 2 has over 9 standard weapons and just as many secondary weapons.
-The graphics! Oh this game looks beautiful compared to the last game. Then again a video in 360p would look better than the first Payday.
-The options to do each Heist are endless. You can stealth it or go in guns blazing. A door can be opened in four different ways, cameras can be taken down in numerous ways, locks can be broken or picked; Oh the choices are wonderful!

What I dislike:
-Nothing honestly.

Bonus section! What I hate:
-The leveling system is just stupid. Each skill costs 1 skill point and a large amount of cash. To “Ace” a skill requires three points and an even larger amount of cash. Tier 3 level skills cost three points and a six figure cash amount….
-The guns are so expensive that I want to cry. A G36 rifle costs $200k and each upgrade can vary from $10k to even more. Thankfully we don’t have to pay for ammo, otherwise I’d quit.
-Grinding every level. I’ve put five hours into the game and hit have hit level 24. Once I hit 24 I spent the next hour playing a serious heist, earned a ton of cash, but gained next to nothing in experience. The grind begins.
-Crime.net. I don’t even know where to start with this. In the first Payday, you simply went to the multiplayer menu, selected a map and difficulty, and you were shown the available games. For Payday 2 they introduced Crime.net. A large, constantly updating map which shows all the available heists, their difficulty, pay, experience, lobby leader, and the open slots available. As nice as it sounds, having all that info shown to you, the map is glitchy move around, it updates too slow, and new missions aren’t able to be set up by yourself so you must play what the game says you must.

-You’re being shot! In a normal first person shooter, when you’re being shot at a red arrow or something of similar nature pops up in the direction you’re being shot from. It’s a tried a truth method that nearly ever shooting game uses. In Payday2 a half red circle shows up from what part of your is being shot it, in example an enemy can be in front of you but shooting at your left arm, thus it’ll show your left side is being shot. This has completely confused me and led me to be spinning in circles to find a guy who’s probably just right behind me.

Don’t get me wrong, I will max out my level in Payday 2 and continue to play this game till I find something more exciting to play with my friends. It’s a fun fun game and can be replayed till time ends. I love being a criminal, love the new improvements they’ve made, and love the gameplay. It’s not a perfect game, but I’m quite alright with that.

Can a Brain Scan Detect Dyslexia in Children?

A US team found tell-tale signs on scans that have already been seen in adults with the condition.

And these brain differences could be a cause rather than a consequence of dyslexia – something unknown until now – the Journal of Neuroscience reports.

Scans could allow early diagnosis and intervention, experts hope.

The part of the brain affected is called the arcuate fasciculus.

Among the 40 school-entry children they studied they found some had shrinkage of this brain region, which processes word sounds and language.

They asked the same children to do several different types of pre-reading tests, such as trying out different sounds in words.

Those children with a smaller arcuate fasciculus had lower scores.

It is too early to say if the structural brain differences found in the study are a marker of dyslexia. The researchers plan to follow up groups of children as they progress through school to determine this.

Lead researcher Prof John Gabrieli said: “We don’t know yet how it plays out over time, and that’s the big question.

“We do not know how many of these children will go on to develop problems. But anyway, we want to intervene before that, and the younger you do that the better. We already know that reading programmes and interventions can really help.”

Hostages Shot and Killed in Louisiana Bank Heist

ST. JOSEPH, La. (AP) — A man who took hostages at a bank in rural Louisiana shot the two remaining hostages, killing one of them, before being shot and killed by police, authorities said.

During negotiations with law enforcement late Tuesday, the suspect — identified as 20-year-old Fuaed Abdo Ahmed — said he was going to kill the hostages, Louisiana State Police superintendent Col. Mike Edmonson said. State police then entered the building just before midnight Tuesday.

That’s when Ahmed shot the two hostages and then state police shot and killed him, Edmonson said. Edmonson said the hostages were shot in the upper body. He did not have any other information on the condition of the second hostage who was shot.

Oprah Winfrey Apologies For Media Uproar

In an interview with the Associated Press, Miss. Winfrey explained that her intentions were not to cause a media feed fest when she mentioned what happened to her in Switzerland.

“I think that incident in Switzerland was just an incident in Switzerland. I’m really sorry that it got blown up. I purposefully did not mention the name of the store. I’m sorry that I said it was Switzerland. I was just referencing it as an example of being in a place where people don’t expect that you would be able to be there.”

The incident became international when Oprah suggested that it was racism that caused a store clerk in Switzerland to deny her seeing a handbag of her choice because it was too expensive.

She told Entertainment Tonight:  “I was in Zurich the other day, at a store whose name I will not mention. I didn’t have my eyelashes on, but I was in full Oprah Winfrey gear. I had my little Donna Karan skirt and my little sandals on. But obviously ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’ is not shown in Zurich.”

Oprah’s apology comes after the sales clerk accused her of lying. In a recent interview, the clerk emphatically denied being a racist and said she was shocked that Oprah made such a claim.

“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,” she said.

This has the makings of a lawsuit. Its the natural progression.

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.
